Ah, at last, references to what I consider the best example of media
metahumor ever concocted... "The Further Advantures of Nick Danger"
(Side 2 of "How can you be in two places at once when you're not really
anywhere at all?", also known as "All Hail Marx & Lennon") by...
the FIRESIGN THEATRE!
Check this one out, folks, it has so much metahumor it's almost impossible
to pick it all up in one listening...
An example: Rocky Rococo, the villain, confronts Our Hero:
Danger: "So, you have a key..." [or something to that effect]
Rococo: "No, only half a key -- I have to split it with the
Sound Effects Man."
Sound Effects Man (in background): "Thanks, Rocky!"
And, of course...
"No, no, no, no! You don't understand how radio works! This is *my*
flashback; all I have to do to bring us back to the present is fade my
voice out like this and cue the organist [cue organist]..."
Find it! Listen to it! It's 20+ minutes of sheer fun!!! [Gush, gush...]
(The other side of the record is OK, too :-)
"He continues on... Ruthlessly (*"I wonder where Ruth is?!?"*)...
Doggedly... (*"Arf arf arf"*)... at 4th & Drucker he turns left...
at Drucker & 4th he turns right... he crosses the street and walks
into a sandstone building (*"Ow! My nose!"*)..."
