No, it’s just a commercial. They do things like that in commercials sometimes.
Jpv,
I know but even a 10 pound would last them almost a week. and after the soup, and nice salad, alot of sandwiches, and reheating, you get REAL tired of it.
One thing you’ll notice is the bird that goes out the window is about half the size of the one she deals with inside. I guess they didn’t want to kill the poor guy.

Like i said… it’s a commercial.
You should get out more often.
The camera adds about ten pounds, so the turkey is really only about 30 lbs.
The size of the turkey may be a bit small. This is America which is the overweight capital of the world. So that turkey may only feed about four people.
lol!!! great find!! damn that was funny
Are we sure this isn’t filmed in Australia and they’re using an ostrich?
The turkey that hit the guy looked like it was made out of paper mache!
I know it’s just a commercial, but in any story there’s a thing called “continuity”!
Being a video producer I guess I’m too picky.
Number whatever – The camera adds about ten pounds, so the turkey is really only about 30 lbs.
Bwahahahahaha… That’s good…
I really don’t like these type of commercials. Its just a slicker version of the Ronco style commercial where they ask, “Does this ever happen to you?” and show some actor pretending he can’t operate a can opener or a fishing reel or a broom… before showing you some contraption designed to take an easy task and add a gadget to it.
As dumb as we all can be, no one is that dumb.
On the other hand, seeing a guy clocked by a turkey is funny.
I laugh every time I see that commercial.
Food economist’s tell you that buying a turkey of 10 pounds or less is a waste of money. The bone weight to meat ratio makes it uneconomical and expensive.
With my family ECA, we would still have to add a 20 pound ham and standing Rib roast to the menu, plus all of the various side dishes.
But, this ad is funny.
#9 Ostrich in Australia? I think that you got the wrong continent.. Maybe an Emu…
