If only there was a person of
immense age who could bring news of fun. Shkle would have to manipulate others
into trusting shkler with minimum effort. The person would have to bring the
fun and inspire others to boogie. Alas, there lives no-one with those
attributes.
Oh, other than the Six Flags guy,
of course. His commercials hypnotize a sense of fun into the viewers.
Commercials such as this one.
The video starts with an extreme
high-ish angle longshot of a random neighborhood, a boy throwing newspapers on
the lawns of many. A quick montage of many people doing chores plays, almost
all of the shots being medium longshots. It changes when a mysterious bus stops
by, to the longshot suspicion of a fat guy mowing the lawn.
After the bus stops, a close-up of our main
character’s hand commences. Then a close-up of his feet is shown. The
commercial finally cuts the crap and has a longshot of the main character, the
elderly Six Flags Guy (SFG), slowly wobbling out of the bus. As he walks
closeup to the camera, afraid, a low angle close-up of a speaker commences, to
the puzzled faces of two kids.
Then the song actually starts,
and the viewing audience cries in terror as SFG suddenly becomes happy-very,
very happy. SFG starts having a psychotic episode as he dances in a longshot in
front of his bus. For some reason, this infuriates the black people. Soon
however, the many angled shots of SFG’s dance brainwash the neighborhood and its
boobs into entering his bus. SFG continues his entrancing boogie aboard the
bus, as a longshot can attest to. Eventually, the abducted neighbors arrive to
just a normal longshot of themselves exiting the bus and entering the arch
marking the entrance to the park.
At the park, the camera gives us
close-ups of SFG enjoying the roller and belt-buckle chair-only coasters, as
well as longshots of him on the teacups and water ride. SFG proceeds to possess
the cahona needed to take a picture of the
goddamn Batman, and possesses the gall to give an aside glance to the
close-up camera. After a few longshots of him on other rides, the SFG
demonstrates that no, he’s not above hypnotizing his Looney tunes friends to
his beat. It all ends with a gradual zoom-out of an extreme longshot of SFG
hypnotizing the entire park.
This commercial- just, wow and
whoa. I just love the faces the guy makes, whether they happen as the song
starts, or as he hangs out with the Warner Brother and DC Comic characters, or
heck, when he’s on the actual rides! SFG and his actor help realize the message
that anyone can have fun no matter what age they are, and that we’re not so
different from each other in wanting to have fun.
