Jack Rebney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Rebney, also known as The World's Angriest RV Salesman, The Angriest Man In The World, or simply, Winnebago Man, is the subject of an internet phenomenon, for a collection of outtakes from an industrial film he made for Winnebago Industries in 1988. The original outtake video had been created by the production company hired to edit the final video, and had been distributed person-to-person for years before being posted to the Internet. The video shows Mr. Rebney in repeated expletive-laden outbursts over forgetting his lines, mistakes by the production crew, and, in one montage, over the presence of flies.
This video won third place on VH1's "Best of Web Junk 2006," and is a popular recurring feature of the Found Footage Festival comedy tour, where it has been shown since the FFF began touring in 2004.
[edit] Summary
The video opens with Jack sitting in the Winnebago, complaining that he has to be able to move. He then gets up and starts talking about the Winnebago's bathroom, but forgets his lines and says, "I don't even know what the fuck I'm reading". It then cuts to a scene, where Jack, rubbing his temples, exclaims "I wonder what the fuck the real dialog is?". A man is shown walking across the screen as Jack asks "What the fuck is this thing?". The man walks up to assist him as he says, "Oh, the wind shield, for fuck's sake." The next clip is a Winnebago by itself, and Jack can be heard saying, "Oh, fuck". Then, Jack is in the middle of the parking lot, and says, "What? What the fuck did I say?"
The next two clips are pictures of Winnebagos again. On the first clip, Jack asks "That didn't sound for shit, did it?". On the second clip, he explains that they are "Building a fucking industrial film", and he's "Trying to give these people everything they can get, I mean, that's it fuck it." That clip quickly skips, and Jack appears to be explaining how something is going to help one to not fall out of the RV, to which he laughs and concludes, "You big, dumb, son of a bitch.". Again he yells "I don't even know what the fuck I'm saying!". The next clip shows him holding open a panel on the side of the mobile home, and getting mad when he accidentally lets go of it, to which he says, "Gotta do it again, right now.". The next sequence of clips is just him cursing, in this order: "Oh, fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! Oh, fuck! SHIT!." It then returns to the same setting as the first scene, and he asks his assistant Tony for a favor, to which Tony replies "Leave? I ain't gonna be walking in and out if you're gonna fuck up and I gotta come back in here...", and after a minor argument, Jack says "I appreciate that, Tony... Don't slam the fucking door! No More!". He then explains that he does not want any more bullshit from anyone for the rest of the day, including from himself. He explains that it is very hot outside and that if there is any more yelling, "The shit is gonna hit the fan!".
The next two clips are Jack getting mad because he can't remember the lines he wrote, saying things like "I fucked up the word rear", and "What does the God damn line say, Tony!?". The next few scenes are him getting mad about the presence of flies near the RV. He says "Shun of a bitch. Get out of here you fucking flies.". Jack walks toward the camera in the next scene saying "We have flies coming for us. Fuck!". He tells Tony to make sure they don't get a fly in the shot. He then becomes extremely agitated at the flies, swatting at them with his hand yelling "Get out of here you God damn jackass!". He takes matters into his own hands in the next scene, sneaking up on a fly and crushing it in his hand. The next few scenes are Jack getting pissed about flubbing his lines, exclaiming "I can't fucking make my mind work.". A tired Jack then asks Tony for a towel. We see the towel fly in from outside the frame and hit the Winnebago, but Jack doesn't see it, exclaiming he was "Blinded by that fucking hot light.". The next scene is him in the Winnebago yelling "God damn son of a bitch!". After that, he is climbing down the back of the RV and says "What do you mean when am I gonna fall off the fucking thing!".
The next couple of scenes are Jack inside the Winnebago mentioning how he is going to "Slate this fucker!", and how he "Don't got time to mark this mother fucker down.". In the next scene, Tony says the camera is still rolling, to which Jack replies, "Well turn the fucking thing off!". Jack then says, in reference to Tony, "Man I'd like to kick your fucking head in...". We then have Jack walking out of the Winnebago telling us to "Meet innovation. Money." He then flips a coin into the air, but swats it onto the ground when he tries to catch it, gets pissed and goes to pick it up. After a few more scenes, he starts making noises with his mouth. We then go into a montage of different scenes where he says, in this order, "Son of a btich! Jesus Christ! Fuck! Shit!". A couple of scenes later and we once again have Jack frustrated because he "Can't remember the God damn line.". He tries to tell some customers about the "accoutrement" before wondering "What is that shit?". After a couple more scenes with Jack explaining how his mouth never stops, we get a shot of him inside the Winnebago saying "Ain't worth it. Not this shit. It ain't fucking worth it.". The final scene is him talking about the "Mini-Winnie", and it being an American tradition, to which he replies, "Do you believe any of that shit?".
