This fake ad is great, so I am putting it here so I don’t lose it again.

Shit, the hydrocoptic marzal vanes burned out!
Holy effing ess is that brilliant. I love how he demonstrates “side-fumbling” with his hand and opens the front panels onto mystery circuit breakers with large guage wiring. My favorites:
“The original machine had a baseplate pre-famulated emulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two sperving bearings were in a direct line with a panometric fan.”
“The lineup consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzal vanes so fitted to the ambiphasient lunar wane shaft that side-fumbling was effectively prevented.”
“The main winding was of the normal Lotus-O deltoid type placed in pan-endermic semi-boloid slots of the stater.”
This is now how I’m describing our uplink facility to FNGs. The funny thing is, the “Rockwell Electric retro-incabulator” looks almost exactly like our MCL HPAs and the product page reads a lot like the video sounds:
“The RF circuit includes a coaxial input interface, input isolator, solid state intermediate power amplifier with electronic attenuator, Klystron tube, arc detector, output isolator and waveguide interface including filters and couplers.”
Re: Shit, the hydrocoptic marzal vanes burned out!
showed it to me a few weeks ago when he was up here for Tad and DJ’s wedding, but I had lost it subsequently… I ended up calling him from my parents this weekend when I quasi-remembered it and wanted to show my dad.. I remembered Dez showed me the fake ad, but I couldn’t remember the product name so google was no help… :)
Fawk dood. The clip reminded me of that SNL fake ad for Wilson Countersink Flanges. I can’t find any vids, but here is a transcript. Phil Hartman at his best:

this is brilliant. I first saw this last week, and couldn’t stop laughing.
