TOD: Can we do radio commercials, including fake ones? WBCN used to do all sorts of comedy and had some great fake ads.

They sound like fun "commercials".

My favorite was during one of the elections - a very quick 5- or 10-second thing:

"Nobody in Massachusetts uses turn signals and nobody's gonna make us. Vote no, Question 4, mandatory turn signals."

I may not have that exactly right because unlike the next one, I can't find a recording of this on YouTube.

Here's the other favorite fake radio ad. Of course on the radio, all the F-words at the end were bleeped out. I think the bleeped version is even funnier but I couldn't find that online:

And then there's The Amazing Keith Jarrett Christmas Offer (only funny if you know Keith Jarrett's recordings):

Without subtitles I have no clue about this one.

For a real ad, it's got to be the Macintosh 1984 Super Bowl ad:

The set is almost half up already, a first for the Group Rep. In fact, the entire set will be up by tomorrow. So, when we're back on the second, we'll be spending some time getting used to doing the show on our set.

I didn't see anything at Gelson's that seemed fun for my light meal. So, I'll either make some tuna, although I don't really want to do that because I'll be eating a LOT of tuna pasta salad, nor do I want to have dirty dishes.

bk · « **Reply #78 on:** December 22, 2025, 02:14:27 PM »

So, maybe I'll bring in a sandwich.

Can pretty much recite this commercial word for word in my sleep. It’s like a beautiful short that should have been released to theaters and won all the awards.

I use the same three words every time to find and/or rule out the common letters. I usually guess it after that.
