6 Flags is a regional theme park. This means everyone throughout America does not get an equal chance to see the crazy homeless 6 Flags’ dancin’ hobo. He lives on the grounds and dances about for popcorn and empty soda cups with ice in them.
In these two fifteen-second spots, witness the simple beauty that is the dancing homeless man, and gaze in wonder at his hypnotic power. I deem this to be some of the best work of “awful” advertising; viewers are helplessly captivated by the strange dancing man. He is the perfect hook to an otherwise generic commercial. No words can describe the effect these commercials have, they should have sent a poet instead of me (a drunk).
