Dan Aykroyd lost it at one point during shooting on the Paramount lot. In full "Conehead" attire, the actor threw a mega screaming fit at the studio's Melrose Avenue gate after his personal wardrobe person was reprimanded by a security guard for busting the lot's 8-mile-an-hour speed limit. Aykroyd was so peeved after the incident - and after hearing that one of his production assistants was given a hard time when he tried to enter the lot late one night - that he burst into the guard station and trashed it. He threw everything on the floor, pulled one of the phones out of the wall, threw papers, knocked the computer on the floor and held the button down on the wooden arm (that lets the cars in) and started motioning incoming cars to 'please come right in ... welcome to Paramount Pictures.' A female security guard witnessing the incident got so upset that she hyperventilated and had to go to the lot's infirmary. At one point during his tirade, Aykroyd commandeered one of the studio's golf carts and drove around screaming and cursing.

he was in the right.
Sounds like Dan
do you feel better now daniel?
giwtwm
We need more of this
He was in character,
There goes my hero…
He was probably high on coke.
He was a SNL alumni and best friend to John Belushi. You don't achieve this status without doing large amounts of drugs. I don't care what their official stance on drug use is cause they fucking lie about it.
8mph is bullshit. Fuck the unions.

Lol. Lmao even
genuinely I would rather hire a dog
Oh a thread about celebrities losing their shit. Love it. Here's Meat Loaf fucking melting down on Gary Busey because he thought Gary stole his paints. Can't find it uncensored on YouTube though.

Sounds like Dan could use a glass of chilled Crystal Head vodka.
The entire premise of 'Coneheads' came about by Dan doing drugs. In one account, its him snorting coke and laughing at people's faces and heads on screen stretching and elongating exaggeratedly and also said it came about to him by smoking pot and being inspired by the Maoi statues on Easter Island.
Dan also went balls deep into Coneheads, coming up with all sorts of lore about them right down to their anatomy and their sexual organs.
Crystal Head vodka
That shit is smooth, but way over-priced.
That being said when it's finished you can use the bottle for other stuff.
That shit is smooth, but way over-priced
The vodka is filtered seven times, of which three are through layers of semi-precious crystals known as Herkimer diamonds.
Dan don't skimp on quality, and yeah, the bottles are sweet.
ug ug ug ug ug. drink from the skulllllllll

So she was a security guard but one middle-aged actor throwing a hissy fit made her faint? Lol, what was her plan if she ever had to deal with someone who was even mildly dangerous? Just shit herself ?
PSI Factor, every episode. introduced by Dan Akroyd!

Herkimer diamonds
I don't think they understand whatb filtration is supposed to accomplish
Based, fuck power tripping security guards
Like, I'm not sure, but a majority of her day at that time would have been to push a button to let cars in and out and give the smallest bit of small talk to whoever was in the vehicle, do seek a word and crossword books all day and take the casual stroll around the lot inbetween lunch and coffee and smoke breaks.
Aykroyd is 6'1 and at this point, enraged and inconsolable. What he is even mad about is not something that is warranting the outburst and rage he is espousing. He is in FULL Conehead gear; costume, cone, pointy teeth, the works. And he is barrelling around your workstation, just destroying everything and is now hand-waving every single brand new ''93 Honda Civic in Hollywood to just come on into Paramount Pictures. You have no idea what a "conehead" is or who this man or whatever is destroying your worksite; the whole Hollywood thing is just something that is outside your periphery and contained inside the studios sets you don't have clearance to enter. How are you even going to explain any of this to your superiors when you yourself aren't able to full grasp the situation and its cause all the while its ranting elongated cranium commandeers your personal golf-cart and continues to yell shit as it speeds away dangerously beyond past the 8 mph studio-lot speed limit?
MAINTAIN LOW TONES
Crystal Head Vodka is filtered through Herkimer diamonds as part of a seven-step filtration process, with the final three steps using layers of these semi-precious crystals according to Crystal Head Vodka. While these crystals aren't actual diamonds, they are double-terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer County, New York. The filtration process is believed to enhance the smoothness and purity of the vodka, making it taste better.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Herkimer Diamonds:
These are semi-precious quartz crystals, not actual diamonds, found in Herkimer County, New York.
Seven-Step Filtration:
Crystal Head Vodka undergoes a thorough filtration process, including three final filtrations through Herkimer diamonds.
Enhanced Smoothness and Purity:
The filtration is thought to remove impurities and enhance the smoothness of the vodka, resulting in a taste that many find superior.
Taste Test Results:
Studies have shown that taste-testers consistently prefer the Crystal Head Vodka filtered through Herkimer diamonds.
It sounds very much like a gimmick, but its totally up Dan's alley, what with the shape of the bottles being allusions to the Crystal Skulls, seeing how averse he is in paranormal topics.
Those speed limits are there for a reason
at first the female security guard attempted to console Dan Aykroyd
only to find that Dan Aykroyd was...inconsolable
thus began the trashing of the security station and all the objects inside, at the fists of the butthurt actor
and thus began the legend of Aykroyd's one point cone exploding head technique
A golf cart can do what, 12-25 mph? Did that rent a cop get to be so anal over when Spielberg and Lucas are joyride racing around?
Goodbye, my sides.
It’s absolutely a gimmick. You can use silica to filter things but it is as fine grained as dust to maximize the surface area. His makes nicer pretty marketing pictures but from a filtration standpoint it’s not doing shit
As long as the end product tastes good, I guess.
It’s psychological. I would be willing to bet that in a blind taste test it’s pretty hard to distinguish one vodka from another. Vodka tastes like vodka, it’s not like wine where are subtleties, it’s vodka
The more I read about Aykroyd the more I wonder how this fat retard managed to shack up with and stay married to Donna Dixon for FORTY years. She must have had some absolutely dogshit self-esteem.
You can't post this without sauce. I need to see how deep Dan's coke fueled autism went on Conehead lore.
I'm sure rye, potato or corn vodkas have to have some semblance of difference between them. ANd also it all depends on where you're getting it from; being poured over diamonds or being made in some prisoners toilet. There's gonna be SOME semblance of difference. The end result of getting fucked up is all the same.
This. Take it up with the owner of the lot. Don't go after the person upholding the law.
bet you don't aura farm or even worry about vibe energy
The only way it makes sense for him to get that butthurt about his personal wardrobe person getting such a slight reprimand is if he was fucking her.
Lot security is often hired as deterrent, not competence.
Dan and that Ancient Aliens guy need to be running fucking NASA at this point. We'd be getting so much shit done in space and so much of the budget poured into such batshit tech and investigation and disclosure, it would be off the hook. Dan's ballsy enough to do it, too. His mom worked at Avro.
This.
Literally "SIR, THIS IS A WENDY'S!" tier crisis management/authority.
