Here's something you don't see often an Italian Larry Semon impersonator in a silent tv commercial for a paint company. Have no idea when it was made.

What sort of a Larry Semon impersonator has a can of paint and doesn;t dump it on a Frank Alexander impersonator?

The first one was shot on video and the synthesized music dates it circa 1980, give or take a few years.

You don't see American TV commercials running over two minutes!
There used to be more videos of Febo Conti doing Semon in silent TV sketches but do not seem to be posted on YouTube anymore. At least I can't find them now. All that come up are these two.
