# XBOX Crazy Old Lady In September 2006, an audition reel for an Argentinian Microsoft XBOX 360 commercial leaked to YouTube showing a confused older actress firing weapons beside a suited co-star during a staged killing spree. The clip, remembered online as XBOX Crazy Old Lady, spread as parody fodder, and YTMND users renamed the whole remix line "BAH" after the nonsense syllable she shouts between gunshots. ## Origin Microsoft's agency filmed the XBOX Crazy Old Lady audition in Buenos Aires in early 2006 for a localized XBOX 360 campaign, with the raw footage reaching YouTube that September[1]. A separate YouTube tribute identified the actress as Sara Solnik, an Argentinian freelance actor whose onscreen credits included a bit part in the 2004 film J-18, and whose April 2007 obituary ran via the Argentinian Actors' Association[3]. - **Platform:** YouTube (source) / YTMND (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2006 ## Overview Running about a minute, the audition reel centers on the older actress's halting, bewildered delivery as she mimes gunfire and shouts a nonsense syllable (approximated as "bah") at the camera, while her suited partner acts out the same scene with professional menace[1]. The contrast between her confused performance and the pulpy mock violence carried the clip across YouTube and YTMND, where editors isolated her shouts and layered them over unrelated songs, films and game footage[2]. Microsoft never cast her for the finished spot, and the broadcast version was briefly aired in Argentina before being banned for its violent content, which left the audition footage, nicknamed XBOX Crazy Old Lady abroad and "BAH" on YTMND, as the surviving public artifact of the shoot[3]. ## How to Use Common remixes paste her repeated "bah" shouts over outside media, from James Bond scenes to Beach Boys tracks, following the YTMND audio-replacement template[2]. Video edits typically set the original audition footage against a new soundtrack to replay the mock-violent gunfire scene[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is XBOX Crazy Old Lady?
