Zany satirist Stan Freberg (b. 1926) made comedy recordings and humorous radio and television advertising his forte. Freberg’s audio parodies beginning in the early 1950s drew on his previous experience as a creator of cartoon voices and his expertise in creating aural worlds of technical and artistic virtuosity in the sound studio. Despite his popularity, Freberg’s topical satires on recordings and radio faced strong resistance from bureaucrats worried about lawsuits and offending listeners.
