Old man from the Six Flags commercials

Nearly everyone has seen that Six Flags commercial with an old man dancing with difficult dance steps. The commercial has now become a phenomenon because no one knows for sure who that old man is. Most people claim that it’s a young man in an old man’s mask. Some even say that it’s a young woman. There is a rumor going around that the old man is played by a celebrity. So who can give us the straight dope and tell us for sure who that old man is in the Six Flags commercial?

Saw a post from someone whose son was in one of those commercials. He said that Mr. Six is a young guy (28) in a lot of makeup.

Yes, but he’s supposed to be the guy (Mr. Chairman) played by Steve Martin in the recent Looney Tunes movie, no? (Looney Tunes and Six Flags have a promotional agreement of some kind.)

But that brings up another question for me: Did the character exist before last year’s movie?

I think he’s supposed to be visually based on the late literary agent Irving “Swifty” Lazar (I can’t find an online picture of him; just his gravestone).

I love that antique bus, too.

I think he’s Enzyte Bob’s dad.

Dance Uncle Junior, dance!!!

Hi Everybody!

When I look on tv into the eyes of Mr. Six, he kind of reminds me of Michael Myers, (Austin Powers.)

The guy gives me the creeps. He looks like a child molester.
