Orson Welles hates the advertising copy he's being asked to read

Here’s a YouTube clip of Orson Welles’ infamous frozen/canned food advertisement voice-over recording sessions in which he berates the engineer for the inanity of the material he’s being asked to read. It’s a rare chance to hear a serious tantrum executed with stentorian emphasis. There’s a brilliant homage to this in a Pinky and the Brain cartoon that makes for a great coda.
