Stan Freberg
The story of Little Blue Riding Hood is true. Only the color has been changed to prevent an investigation.
Who are taking to the witch burning Saturday night?
When he was a little kid, he was a fat, spoiled kid. I can tell the type.
The decision as to what's funny and what is not funny shall rest solely with Mr. Freberg.
You have to prove that the Freberg way will sell their product better than if they just did straight advertising. Whenever I give a lecture or seminar, that's what I try to get across to people. I hear very few radio commercials that sound like I could have written them or that they got the idea.
A lot of television stuff is mean-spirited, and I think that's how political advertising got so mean-spirited, to where people are throwing things at the television set every time we have an election.
I was turning down cigarette campaigns before it became fashionable. I wouldn't let CBS Radio sell 'The Stan Freberg Show' to R.J. Reynolds and American Tobacco, which had sponsored Jack Benny, the man I replaced.
I trained my son to be a puppeteer since he was a little boy.
If you don't like an ad, why should anybody else?... We're all consumers... That's why I always create commercials for myself first of all. I am the consumer I know best. If I think it's a great commercial, I figure the rest of the people might think so, too. I haven't been wrong so far.
I had a scholarship to Stanford because I won three California Speech tournaments. Before I started Stanford, I told my mother I wanted to take a bus into Hollywood and see if I could get an agent.
People are amazed to see that I wrote all the words and music myself to 'Stan Freberg Presents The United States Of America.'
I believe all of my talents come from the Lord. All of my talents are God-given - that's how I was able to write music without any professional musical training.
You can make sounds and music out of pretty much anything with a little imagination and putting your mind to it!Collection: Sound And Music
Well, we're all a little hostile every now and then, some of us are able to sublimate, others of us can't adjust. You know how it is.Collection: Littles
All women are troublemakers who take the money their husbands need desperately for a new and better speaker, and selfishly squander it on things like shoes for the children, homogenized milk, or perhaps A SECOND DRESS!Collection: Children
