SLINGing Fools 

  

Have you seen the latest Sling TV Commercial?  "The Permed" is busted out of jail by his two compadres, Sling and Crazy who had dynamited his jail cell right in front of the sheriff. 

The threesome go on a rampage across the desert, 

seeking a streaming service that allows them to choose their very own TV channels....

 

Shortly, they run across an old prospector, clad only his hat, union suit and boots, not prospecting but rather doing of all things, watching TV. 

 

Why he's wearing no clothes and sits there in only his long underwear is never revealed. I suppose it's anyone's guess because it is not evident in this commercial!  Perhaps he traded in his burro and clothes for that new television set.

 

Suddenly, Sling slings his lasso while Crazy and The Permed take notice.  The rope loops around the poor old man's television. 

 

 

His TV is jerked away from where it sat, out and away from the old gold miner...

 

Astonished, he jumps up and down exceedingly irate....

and proceeds to do a pretty funny jig in his union suit! 

 

 

Losing his hat...

he screams to the heavens asking for mercy and the return of his TV.

Not many tv commercials contain actors in their union suits. So when one does, it is worth sharing. Take a took.  Thanks to Sling for entertaining us union suit fans.

BLOGGER'S NOTE: I'll be taking a short sabbatical but beginning in mid-October, watch for more union suit postings in Union Suit Fans in the Limelight, including scenes from The Great Race with the late, great Donald Sutherland:

and the long awaited, Escanaba in da Moonlight, starring Jeff Daniels!
