Welcome to the frantic world of Arlene and Charlie and their exciting hobby-shop commercial. Not only do they utilize the classic "crazy" salesperson ad technique here, wherein the merchant is wildly overwhelmed with the sheer abundance of their own wares, they incorporate trick camera work, allowing Charlie to appear as if he is capable of supernatural, demonic powers. Plus, they talk like they were on The Sopranos. Don't you wish you lived in Red Bank this Xmas? Thanks to Soup enthusiast Rcromeo30 for this.
