2. They used to do radio ads in NYC
One was for a bank offering IRAs or something, in the late 70s. Guy's daughter brings home her fiance, the lead singer in the Scumbuckets. "That is the name of your punk rock band, right?" "right" "So how do you propose to take care of my daughter on a punk rocker's salary?"

"Well, we have annuities linked to our t-shirt sales, and the songwriting royalties are automatically deposited in our retirement plans..."

"Scumbuckets have RETIREMENT PLANS."

"Plus of course our Chase IRAs and..."

"Oh, Hit Me With Your Meataxe baaaaaby," that IS the name of your hit single, right?

It's funnier when you hear them do it, but the disbelief in "Scumbuckets have retirement plans?" has me laughing 30 years later.

The guys trying to sell raw cranberries for cranberry shortcake cracked me up too.
