The Six Flags commercials with the sprightly “old guy” just tickle me! He’s so enthusiastic and enticing. He’s a little dickens rabble-rouser. My husband says it’s just a young guy in makeup. Say it ain’t so! 
Maybe these are just running in the Chicago Area?
Aigh! I did a search, I swear. Naw, I figured it was a young guy, he’s so gosh-darn cute, though.
For the longest time I thought it was Martin Short for some reason? I’m not sure why.
We’ve got the same little “bean dude” for the 6 Flags here in Denver, so I’m assuming he’s part of their national advertising.
And I always though he looked like Dana Carvey in age makeup, myself.
MUST KEEP
‘SONG’
OUT OF HEAD!!!
AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Doot doot doot doot doot doooo
Doot doot doot doot doot doooo
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!
NOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooOOooooOOooOoOOO!
The guy gives me the creeps, yet everytime the commercial comes on, it takes every ounce of energy not to watch.
And doesn’t that song have words? Figured it’s some dance club thing, but I know I heard it as background music where a woman was singing along.
Creeps the hell out of me, too. Can’t figure out if he’s the zombified corpse of Swifty Lazar, or “Enzyte Bob’s” dad.
Neither, he’s Corrado Soprano, better know as Uncle Junior. Dance Uncle Jun, DANCE!
It IS Dana Carvey! It just has to be! I mean, it looks exactly like him.
He creeps the holy hell out of me and my SO but, like Archive Guy, we have to watch.
But honestly, if that guy came near me in a dark alley I’d blast him in the nards first and ask questions later.

(Warning : Thar be pop-ups on that page)
He looks like Short doing Irving Cohen and dances like Short doing Ed Grimley.
You know what, I think that’s it. For some reason the Jiminy Glick character helped as well even though that character really has no similarities…
My theory: It’s both. A real old man is used for the close-ups of him getting off the bus, but a young man in a lot of makeup is used for all the full-length shots.
Swifty Lazar in 1992.
What we need is to get him into a commercial with the four Fanta chicks, and they may create a counter-creepy, implosive dance-reaction that elminate them all from our lives.
Either that, or an unholy breeding program may ensue… :eek:
The commercials are running here in Dallas, too–probably anywhere there’s a SixFlags Amusement Park. They call him Mr. Six, and had a contest to find the best look-alike performer. I believe an 11-year-old boy won that, locally.
I don’t know which is more disturbing. That they had a contest to find someone who looked like him, or that it was won by an eleven year old.
