The ads didn't actually want to sell you anything.

My main radio station I listen to is publicly funded so there's no ads. It does however have a show with 2 comedians doing social and political commentary with deadpan delivery. Sadly just one episode per week.

There's also a hangover show with other comedians but I don't find it as funny recently. Greatest hits include things like a morning exercise routine that concludes with moving yourself just enough to grab a beverage and resume drinking.

All the stations are such over the top parodies. Real world people saying dumb shit isn’t funny, it’s sad.

Patrice o Neal having a character in wktt gta4 radio is one of my faves. Those were so funny at the time

If ads on real radio were just clips of standup comedians, I wouldn't complain about 'em. 🤷‍♂️

Unless they were all by annoying hacks 😉
