    people who talk at the end of commercials

    I thought these were a joke until I saw a TV ad that actually did it. You’d think it makes the scam hilariously obvious.

        In America it’s more like, “Bazynga has been shown in the lab to treat bone cancer with a 100% success rate! Ask your doctor today if Bazynga is right for you!”

          Mine was for some quick loan company, with their spectacularly shit terms explained at the end. It was both the first and the last time I’ve seen these here, so I guess it didn’t take off.

    There’s a Werner Herzog documentary about an auction-calling competition titled “How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck” which is well worth seeing.
