===Commercial parodies=== Commercial parody was a popular forte with Bob and Ray. A typical show would have such "sponsors" as: * The Monongahela Metal Foundry ("Casting steel ingots with the housewife in mind") * Einbinder Flypaper ("The brand you've gradually grown to trust over the course of three generations") * [[Auburn Automobile|The Auburn Motor Car Company]] ("Makers of fine automobiles up to, but not including, 1938") * [[United States Postal Service|The United States Post Office]] ("Makers and distributors of stamps") * The Croftweiler Industrial Cartel ("Makers of all sorts of stuff, made out of everything") * Cool Canadian Air ("Packed fresh every day in the Hudson Bay and shipped to your door") * Grime ("The magic shortening that spreads like lard") * [[United States Mint|The United States Mint]] ("One of the nation's leading producers of genuine U.S. currency") * [[Penuche]] ("With or without nuts, the greatest name in fudge") * Kretchford Braid and Tassel ("Next time you think of braid or tassel, rush into your neighborhood store and shout, 'Kretchford'!") * Chocolate Cookies with White Stuff In Between (sponsoring Lawrence Fechtenberger) * Gerstmeyer's Puppy Kibbles ("The dog food guaranteed to turn any pet into a vicious man-killer"), sponsoring the police-drama spoof ''Squad Car 119''. * Mushies ("The cereal that gets soggy even without adding milk or cream") sponsored "Tippy the Wonder Dog". * An unnamed beverage described as "stuff that you pour in a glass and it fizzes up and gets all over your suit and everything".
