The premise
Here’s the bit.
A parody of moody designer-fragrance commercials, shot in grainy black and white on a rickety porch with a snoozing hound. A long-bearded man in a trucker cap, rocking in his chair, recounts how a friend with a glass eye told him why nobody visits him, how he answered with a savage beating, and how the friend then produced a bottle of French toilet water. Between title cards in an elegant script, he admits that it swaps his angry smell for a prettier one, strolls into the city in it, and finishes by urging the viewer to buy some too.

Highly quotable.
It's your stink.
It takes away the angry stink and it puts you on a purdy stink.

About a year back, I was talking to a friend of mine, George Tweedy. George has a glass eye. He was born with it. I'm told that's pretty rare.

Man
George and I, we were pulling the backbone out of some squirrel. He says to me, he says, Bill, you know why people stop coming around and see you, don't you?
- 00:22
Man
Well, I thought it was because of my dog. Because my dog has a mental disturbance. He has delusions of grandeur. Which, for some folks, is a real turn-off. Hey, he said, no, no, no, no, it's not your dog. Not for the dogs. Well, what then? Come on now, come on now, George. I ain't got all day. I ain't no quiz whiz. And he said, uh, it's your stink. I went ahead and I just, I just sank one into his face, you know? Gave him the boots.

Man
Gave him the boots for a while. Now I took the boots off and I nearly killed him with my bare feet. So after about a half hour or so of just cold cocking on him and stomping on him, I got to thinking. Maybe he's right. Maybe I do stink, you know? And that's when he pulled out the bottle.
- 01:09
Man
That's when he pulled out this here bottle of hair. And that there's toilet water. See that? But it ain't the kind you want to take a crud in because the French people made it. What it does is it takes away the angry stink and it puts you on a purdy stink. See that? Yeah. And I figure that's perfect for me, me being a homosexual and all.
- 01:30
Man
So I put some on, and I went up to the city to one of those rubber bars. Hell, if I wasn't belly ball.
- 01:38
Speaker 1
For men who love rubber.

Man
So if you're like me, and I imagine the majority of you are in one way or another, you ought to go ahead and get some of this stuff. There you go.
