Christmas Toy Test

Added to TV Promos, KHBS / KHOG by Earl Sunday November 19, 2000

I’ve always wanted to do this! A follow-the-bouncing-ball spot with the text of the script on-screen. Add to this an excellent read from Megan McHale, and you have an instant classic. Here’s the script - which was actually written in about ten minutes as a joke. I didn’t expect it to get approval - but it passed with no revisions.

Toy TestIt’s a month before Christmas, and parents fill the stores.
Looking for the latest toys, and spending more and more.
I’m Megan McHale on the Consumer Beat,
And for you parents we have a real treat:
A toy-buying guide to help fill in the blanks,
To make your kids happy without breaking the bank.
From this year’s hot toys, to things that help them learn,
We’ve got some advice on where you can turn.
We’ll show you the coolest toys of their kind,
On the Consumer Beat, Sunday at ten on 40/29.
