It doesn't matter if you're an Academy Award winner. There is no excuse for talking to people as rudely as Orson Wells treated the director and engineer of these television commercials for Findus Foods. Wells comes across as arrogant, insolent, impudent, and just plain mean.
1. the producer was not making 75 cents an hour. 2. that commercial was not recorded on 2 track tape, it was done on a 4 track machine and they didn't cut the tape.
What they needed in that studio was someone to tell Orson, "We've got your bottle of Paul Masson under lock and key, and we're not giving it back until you read the goddamn copy!"
Welles was a genius and a visionary who was fucked by Hollywood and forced to turn to radio to make a living. So he went from being a big-shot director and actor to doing commercials for bullshit on the radio. Between that and his personal life being in shambles it's hard to imagine him dealing with this stuff cordially.
You can find the original recordings on UA-cam. Orson was acting like a jerk, but this heavily-edited version makes him sound worse. He didn't stutter on his first line, for instance.
Oh, and Opie and Anthony apparently don't understand the frustration that comes from knowing what you're doing and being stuck with people who have no idea what they're doing and who are messing you up because of it. There's a reason that there are endless clips of great actors, radio hosts and writers or directors going crazy at co-workers over seemingly meaningless things.
"You're such pests"
"What luck! There's a French Fry stuck in my beard!"
Full of green pea-ness!

Love how they tell us it's not an edited version, then they play an edited version.

@GarththeVader Yeah, but Johnny Herpes on Z-69 did it before everybody! KA-BLAM!!!
Have you ever in your life heard a better use of the word "wearying"? Welles was one of a kind.
@sortedevaras Fish fingers = Fish Sticks and norwegians ones are awesome
