From my decades-old recollection, that sounds just about right.

I’m trying to piece together one of Jerry Rosenberg’s JGE commercials. Any assistance is welcome:

Hey Jerry, what’s the story?

Let’s say you want to buy a color TV, or a nice air conditioner to make your wife comfy. I can get it for you wholesale – because JGE is NOT open to the general public, only to union members and their families.* Just show your union or civil service card at the door, and you’re in!
So that’s the story Jerry?
That’s the sto—-rrrrr—yyy

* pronounced “fambulies”

Jordan’s Furniture! Classic!
Dunkin Donuts muffins “Well, I won’t be needing this anymore!”
Boston Aquarium “Look, ma! A dolphin show!”
Hometown Gravy?

How about this: “I’m Robulan and I come from MArs, and we eat all kinds of candybars. What’s this? Some Earth Fruit? Mmm, this is good. This is better than good; it’s yummy and not bad. Wait til I tell the other Martians about this! By only eating candybars, we don’t know what we’ve missed!”

Of course my all time favorites are the many Carvel Ice Cream Cake commercials that featured a voice over that could very well have been the official sound of throat cancer speaking some truly hammy copy about Fudgie the Whale or Cookie O’ Puss.

Back in the early 80s in Baltimore, Luby Chevrolet ran radio ads featuring a guy with an asian accent saying “I ROVE RUBY!” I kid you not. Baltimore does not have a big asian community.
