The Original Viral Video? This Footage Of An RV Salesmen Losing It In A Series Of Profanity Laden Tirades Is All Time

(Words by Greg Rourke) – The original viral video? To say this is not safe for work is like saying Joe Grippo is a Ford enthusiast. (THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK NOR IS IT SAFE FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE SWEARING AND THE KILLING OF FLIES)

Jack Rebney is a former TV news producer turned salesman turned on-camera talent. Winnebago Industries hired him in 1988 to film two ten minutes sales training films. They were used to train salespeople and presumably to show prospective customers the features of the new Rec Vees. Whether or not they ever were released is subject to speculation, but thankfully the exasperated film crew saved us the outtakes.
Filming took place at Winnebago headquarters in Iowa in August. It was over 100 degrees and humid. It appears there was some sort of fly Woodstock going on, and Jack was more than a little upset by this. Jack starts out like any good infomercial pitchman, proudly showing the features of the new line, then launches into profanity laced tirades about forgetting the lines that he himself wrote, the heat, the flies, the film crew, and poor Tony the unpaid intern.
The film crew saved the outtakes and they made the rounds on VHS tapes. Shortly after Youtube was launched the whole world got to meet Jack, by then labeled “The Angriest Man In The World.”  A documentary producer became obsessed with Jack and made a film about him, Winnebago Man. While trying to track down material for this he contacted Winnebago, they all but denied knowing anything about the subject. They finally tracked down ol’ Jack, living in a tiny cabin in Northern California, unaware of his fame.
 As we said, this video might be offensive to younger or more sensitive viewers.
ONE MORE TIME – IF YOU DISLIKE SWEARING, THIS AIN’T THE ONE FOR YOU. THAT BEING SAID, IT IS ONE OF THE INTERNETS GREATEST VIDEOS!

    Brian, do you have the video of Cal Worthington’s salesman going off many years ago?

    ‘Not sure if it made it on-air really late at night in the L.A. area.

    ‘Had to have been in the ’70’s.

    This just made my fucking day. I’m retired US Navy and this is the most fucking cussing I’ve heard in a long fucking time.

    There is a documentary about this guy made in 2009 I believe. It’s called Winnebago Man. Interesting, I liked it.
