ANNOUNCER. Hey, if you’re like me, you love to collect Bible figurines!
But if you’ve got a green thumb, you also love to fill your house with
cheerful green plants. Why not have the best of both worlds with new Chia
Bible Figurines! Collect all of them! There’s Chia Moses crossing the Red
Chia Sea! Chia Isaac, Chia Jacob and the blear-eyed Chia Leah! And hey,
Christmas is never too far away to order the complete Chia nativity scene!
Order now!
ANNOUNCER. Bored with the same old board games? Well, step into
the nineties with “Social Stagnation,” the board game for the politically
correct! The object of the game is to collect enough Media Hype Chips and
Congressional Lobby Points to virtually stop anything from happening! If
you can bring the country to a grinding halt, you’ve reached… Social Stagnation!
But watch what you say, if you offend even the smallest special interest
group, it’s back to square one!
HUSBAND. Okay, this one’s for three media chips. “Who buys a toupee?”
WIFE. The follically challenged?
SON. The differently haired?
HUSBAND. You’re both right!
SON. Okay Dad, you need this one to senselessly monopolize network broadcast time. “What should you do instead of ‘training your dog?’”
HUSBAND. That’s easy! Respectfully empower your animal companion to make cognitive choices!
SON. Sorry, Dad. You were on the right track, but you had to use twice as many meaningless words.
HUSBAND. Oh, darn!
WIFE. Okay, Cindy, your turn. Tell me the last four things you do in an average day.
DAUGHTER. First I signify my voluntary affection to my significant adult companions by by giving them a goodnight kiss, while still respecting their personal space boundaries, then I perform my dental hygiene ritual, then I say my prayers and go to bed.
ANNOUNCER. Oops! Did you say “prayers?” Move back twenty spaces! Yes
it’s fun for the whole family, with Social Stagnation! And remember, it’s
not just a board game… it’s a two-dimensional recreational pastime!
MAN. Honey, where did we leave that Bible?
WOMAN. I don’t know. Weren’t you reading it last?
MAN. I thought you were.
WOMAN. Well, I don’t know where it is..
MAN. How can we do our evening devotions if we can’t find our Bible?
BOTH. Uh oh!
ANNOUNCER. How many times has this happened to you? Well, no more with the new Bible Finder! Just clip this handy gizmo on the good book and salvation is always a whistle away! Never again will you be late for church because you can’t find your Bible. Just whistle the first stanza of “Rock of Ages” and a friendly little beeper will play back the chorus, letting you know exactly where you left it! (sound cue demonstrates whistle and beep) Look! There it is on the coffee table! It’s that easy! Why take a chance on losing the most important book in your life? Get the new Bible Finder today!
MAN. Honey, it’s time for devotions! Now where’s that Bible?
WOMAN. I’ll find it! (she whistles, beeper responds)
MAN. Oh, there it is! Boy do I feel better having our new Bible Finder!
WOMAN. Me to! (commercial ends with a whistling resolution of
“Rock of Ages.”)
(Blot, a prehistoric cave guy, is writing and humming. Grog, another
prehistoric cave guy, enters.)
GROG. Hello Blot.
