CHUCK TESTA AND KEYSTONE LIGHT_  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Sep 28, 2015 3:01 PM UTC CHUCK TESTA AND KEYSTONE LIGHT  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Sep 28, 2015 3:01 PM UTC On Monday, Keystone Light released a [commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WTi4qhJ4pY&feature=youtu.be) to promote hunting season featuring owner of [Ojai Valley Taxidermy](http://Ojaitaxidermy.com) and [YouTube celebrity](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101344%5F2100875%5F2100876,00.html), Chuck Testa, that encourages consumers to keep an eye out for a special white can hidden in select orange multipacks. The ad is a mockumentary about the making of the ad. Testa comes across as the weirdest guy to work with because he uses the taxidermy animals as production assistants, in addition to talking to them as if they were humans. And as if that behavior is not strange enough, he hands out “goodbye” taxidermy squirrels to everyone on set. Testa first went viral in 2011, after producing a purposefully corny spot for his business. Here is the original, which has racked up more than 16 million YouTube views to date: ## Transcript We set out to make this Keystone Light commercial with Chuck Testa from Ohio Valley Taxidermy. YouTube sensation, 16 million views and we figured what could go wrong? Turns out, a lot. This guy is weird as [ BLEEP ]. Where were you? We lost the whole championship cuz of you. We can't bowl with just two guys. I want you to just sit here and think about that for an hour Keystone Light. Hunt for the Great White Stone take twenty four. Hi. Im Chuck Testa from Ohio Valley Taxidermy. I specialize in the most life like taxidermied animals anywhere. Period. Today I am here to help Keystone Light introduce hunting season with a new program called Hunt for the Great White Stork. Great White Stone. Are you saying stork? For awhile, it's like, this guy's messing with us. But I've been watching him when like no one else is. Psst. Hey, sound guy. Can you hear me? Yeah, Chuck, I can hear you. What's your favorite berry? Strawberry? Thinking about changing out my berry. What's your berry now? Action. It's simple, Keystone Light wants me to get out. [ NOISE ] Cut! Whose job is it to secure that light? He insists that 25 percent of the crew are animals. Taxidermized, animals. We lost all the sound files from this morning. We're gonna have to re- shoot everything we shot before lunch. Whose job was it to back up the sound files? That's Raphael. That's a stuffed raccoon. He's a friend of Chuck's. I think somebody else screwed up and they're just pinning it on the raccoon. Take 40. Sometimes we can't find Chuck and we spend like 45 minutes looking for him. Chuck? Chucktasta. [ SOUND ]. What works for me is I just pick out the loudest voice in my head and go with that. I just listen to one. Duck, I've been looking all over for you. We're not sure if he's messing with us or if he's just crazy. I'm messing with them because the animals get a really big kick out of it. It's simple, Keystone Light wants you to hunt for the great white stone. Oh, okay, sorry, can we just do a pause between it's simple and Keystone Light. Go again, action. It's simple Keystone Light. Oh Yeah. Oh. Could you get a little lower please? Kenny, are you doing that? Yeah that's me. You know that that's not the pause I was asking for. Right? It's what Chuck wanted. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's great. He loves the back scratch. It was supposed to be one ten- hour day. We're going on day three of the shoot. I can't say it's been easy, but I'm a team player. [ SOUND ] Kenny! Stepping away. I may have lost my composure once or twice. [ SOUND ]. Franco, not a big fan, didn't dig it. Kept throwing my timing off. Scene 12, take 1. Action! Get out there. Bag a gosh- darn light 'Stone. Build a legend, for Pete's sake. Post it up on the internet Facebook for me. I'm Chuck Testa, this is Keystone Light. Period. He got it right. Chuck Testa got it right. Goodbye squirrel. Goodbye squirrel. Goodbye squirrel. Thanks, Jeff. Be good to him and he'll be good to you. Does Frankel get a goodbye squirrel? Nope! ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4051913/chuck-testa-keystone-light-taxidermy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4051913/chuck-testa-keystone-light-taxidermy/"},"headline":"Keystone Light Is Using the Web's Most Famous Taxidermist to Sell Beer","datePublished":"2015-09-28T15:01:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:32:08.854Z","description":"As bizarre as it sounds","url":"https://time.com/4051913/chuck-testa-keystone-light-taxidermy/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc1a0f653b0000d05/698865bda988ca93596b490d/screen-shot-2015-09-28-at-10-03-16-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
