Have there ever been odd sponsorship plugs meant as a quick joke. I was thinking of something like "this hour on Weirdo-FM is brought to you by Guglielmo Marconi and the wonders of wireless communication!"
Hmm. Could be a good ongoing bit for a morning show.

Weirdo-FM. Brought to you by Tesla. Marconi only brings the cheese.

I used to do stuff like that until the boss thought it was dumb... I think its funny on occasion... Here are a few:
Keep in mind I did these at night, just for humorous sake....
Upset stomachs on today's show were soothed with Prestone-Bismol, the all new two-in-one yucky stuff that not only coats your stomach, but also keeps your intestines from freezing.
Embalming for today's show, supplied by Funeral Delight, the all-new franchise mortuary where they always say, "Drop in today, and put yourself in layaway!"
Today's program was obviously my Thanksgiving Special -- 'cause it definitely was a turkey.
Other humor that you may steal...
Warning! The following program is so weird it may scare your dog.
All disc jockeys on the following program are totally unreal and any resemblance to actual disc jockeys living or dead is purely luck.
(OPENER) Aaaaah! I love the smell of a fresh microphone in the morning!!
Every morning it's the same thing. The boss comes in, takes one look at us, and leaves mumbling something about "night of the living dead."
The snow caught us by surprise. Kevin Eubanks (for example) is up on the roof shoveling out his rain gauge.
I don't want to say this next song is hot, but the surgeon general has determined it may melt the bristles on your toothbrush.
It's important to do your Christmas shopping early, so you can buy up all the cheap presents to give to your friends before they can buy them to give to you.
Today's horoscope. Leo: Be very careful today. Remember that death is forever, including weekends and holidays.
This team is so mean, the team doctor is a veterinarian.
The trainer uses a whip and a chair.
Our high school football team was so bad, at pep rallies everybody would cry.
The coach was also the English teacher. After practice, he'd tell us to turn in our perspiration socks.
Well, today's weather didn't turn out exactly like yesterday's forecast, but I want you to know it's the weather that's wrong, not the forecast.
I don't feel so good today. This morning I accidentally put nose drops in my ears -- and now I can hear my cologne.
[Strings] Actually, it's not a violin section at all -- it's six electric canaries.
I have such a bad cold, I could buy Kleenex stock and be arrested for insider trading.
Hey, Christmas is coming fast, so let's all call the ACLU and see what decorations we can use.
1-800-BAH-HUMBUG.
I love the Christmas season because my kids start treating me so much nicer.
[Wild] That song could flatten out Lyle Lovett's hair.
Today's tip for expectant parents. Don't name your baby something weird or embarrassing. Choose a good old-fashioned American-sounding name like Tipper, Whoopi, or P-Diddy.
Today's horoscope. Scorpio: November is your month. This month you will succeed at everything -- except possibly at carving a turkey with a pizza cutter.
Sagittarius: Romance is governed by the distant planet Drano. Your love life will go right down the drain.
(Next Jock) may be late. He had an alcohol-related accident. He was on his Nordic-Track, and dropped a full can of beer on his foot.

As long as you're the only one using it....  PD's should lighten up a bit. Some jocks have become legends for doing stuff like that. |

I did it for a year... and then a joke about a tornado scared some people enought to complain. I even put a discalimer in front of it.

To spite the cliche, the customer (listener) is NOT always right. Some people are just going to be terminally stupid no matter what you do. They should just be ignored.

Amen to that, I work at C----el and I see it all the time at remotes. Like I said about the turkey thing earlier. Not only are some people terminally stupid, but a lot of people are ignorant too.

So you work for Capitel, eh? lol ;D Right now, if sources are correct its the opposite of Capitel. Right now, they could call it FinancialHell. Case in point, I had to work the most recent Jazz Game (vs Miami) promoting said station on 101.1, and some rude people wanted more than two spins on our wheel. You can't win without spinning. I can't just hand you prizes off the table, like a Staind CD. They then proceeded to get mad about losing the Staind CD. Can anyone say greedy. |

I think that's a totally unreasonable reaction on the part of the rude people. CD's cost money. Maybe they were promos from the record company, but it's not like a trailer full of them stopped by the station. It's even worse if the station paid for them, but I suspect they didn't.
Some people just don't get it.
