Six Flags guy speaks, scares people

by Bob Sassone, posted May 25th 2009 12:25PM
What's creepier than that dancing old Six Flags guy? A talking, dancing old Six Flags guy. They have him speaking in those amusement park ads now (at least this is the first year I've seen him speak in regional ads in my area), and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. More flags, more fun, more scary!

They have the creepiest commercials.
Why would they choose an old man to represent an amusement park that features rides on which a man that old wouldn't even be able to ride?

I've met the man and he's an older English gentleman who was a music hall performer in his youth. He's not creepy at all.

Hah that's so funny that you're blogging about this. That guy really is messed up, he's never gonna make anyone wanna go to Magic Mountain any more. The ride does look cool though...but there are so many trashy people at that place, I dunno if I ever wanna go back!

This is only a little creepy -- not nearly as creepy as Wendy, she of hamburger namesake fame, suddenly animating and talking after decades of being a static silent logo.

Yikes its Bizzaro Uncle Junior!

And why the hell would they make a ride out of Terminator Salvation that movie was terrible and flopped!? The Dark Knight coaster at my 6 Flags may suck, but at least its based on a good movie.

I'm glad Six Flags pulled out of their agreement with our local amusement park so I don't have to see those commercials any more. Exactly what marketing team thought (and still thinks) that horror of a man is a good representation of fun?

I hate him so much-- he reminds me of this passage from The Joy Luck Club from our junior high literature book where a girl's mom makes her take piano lessons from an old man in their building and she compares shaking his hand to the time she found an old peach in the back of the fridge and the SKIN JUST SLID OFF THE FLESH.
