AaaaAaaAaAAAAH the FRENCH. Champaign.
Who knows what bubbly lurks in the heart of men?
The French! The French do! It’s Campaign!
HAHHAHAHAAA!
In all fairness, I do the same thing when I’m sozzled.
Are we sure he isn’t trying slur out “Rosebud?”
Way to bury the lede, guys. That guitar backing is amazing!
Breathed new life into a classic.
Very much an experimental-jazz-feel to it, huh? I find it delightful.
I too was inspired by its angelic effects, indeed.
Hats off to the actor who’s pouring - doesn’t crack one bit. The actress manages to stifle her grin and bend it into a pleasant smile, but you just know there’s a guffaw lurking in there, somewhere…There’s absolutely no way in hell I’d be able to keep a straight face.

man, this NEVER gets old
My favorite part is where his brain hasn’t caught up to his mouth yet, and he groans out MHHAAAHAAAAA the French.
I remember the Welles ads; I also recall some wit commenting on their tagline “We will sell no wine before its time”; the comment was “they forgot the apostrophe”
Come to find out, Rosebud is his favorite champagne.
