I just heard a commercial on 610 saying AB would be on Vandermeer's show this morning, sometime between 9-11.
Stuck at work, wish I could listen. In terms of pure comedy, I personally don't think anything is funnier than listening to Charlie Palillo do commercials for 'soft' products. Charlie's voice comes across as very sharp, dry, and with just a slight touch of bitterness to it. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s great, but he’s got a very ‘tough guy’ persona on-air. When he does commercials for the Pajama-gram, Vermont Teddy Bear, and my personal favorite, Bubbles Car Wash, you can just tell he is fighting with his voice to not show his soft side. It is this internal struggle that I find amusing. Listen next time for the way he pronounces the words “Ultra soft lambs’ wool mitts” when he does the Bubbles commercial. Or perhaps I’m the only one that thinks this is amusing.
AB - where can i check out your stuff (CD's, mp3's)? i've listened to a bunch of it before, but right now don't have anything anywhere. thanks.
