Orson Welles hates Frozen Peas

"Frozen Peas," as this audio clip is known, is an infamous recording of Orson Welles as he attempts to read an advertising script for peas, fish sticks, and beef.

The date of the recording isn't quite known, but it comes from later in his life when the once famous actor and director was reduced to advertising. Of course, his ego remained quite intact, as evidenced by this recording, which includes zingers such as, "You are such pests! Now, what is it you want? In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want?"

You just have to feel sorry for the directors attempting to get their voice over complete, don't you? [Via MilkandCookies]
