Line 59:
* Who's more insane than [[Toronto|Mel Lastman]]'s Bad Boy? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AD_BgUE99U NOOOOOOOOOBODY!]

* [[Michael Leunig]] did a comic showing a page of small newspaper ads all in this form, starting normal and getting wierder. The last one was for a politician.
* During a Sunday strip of ''Piranha Club'', a money-grubbing doctor tried a "Crazy Eddy" style of adverts to get people to come to his clinic. Naturally what works for a car dealership isn't going to work for a Doctor.▼
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
== Live
* When a car is being given away on ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', Drew Carey often refers to Rachel, the model who usually stands next to the car, as "Crazy Rachel."
* ''[[X-Play]]'' featured "Crazy Adam's Import Imporium", which contained several rip-offs of real games and imports. The owner is just straight criminally insane, with antics that include his [[Talkative Loon|rantings]], saying he's [[Silence of the Lambs|going to make a woman suit]], and preparing to take a sledgehammer to the head of a tied up employee. His theme song was "Crazy, crazy, crazy, Adam; crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy Adam!"
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
'''Crow:''' Their prices are so low! }}
* The dad in ''[[Roundhouse]]'' did this for a garage sale. Until led away for apparent insanity.
== Music ==
* In the video for [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg "Amish Paradise"], we are shown a quilt stand when he reaches the lines "We sell quilts at discount price/Living in an Amish paradise". When the customers in front of it move away, a sign reading [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe|"Our Prices Art Insane"]] becomes visible.
== Newspaper Comics ==
▲* During a Sunday strip of ''[[Piranha Club]]'', a money-grubbing doctor tried a "Crazy Eddy" style of adverts to get people to come to his clinic. Naturally what works for a car dealership isn't going to work for a Doctor.
Line 164 ⟶ 171:
* [[Imagine Spot|Role-played]] once in ''[[Muppet Babies]]''. By [[Cloudcuckoolander|Gonzo]], naturally.
* Ants-In-My-Eyes Johnson from ''[[Rick and Morty]]''. He can't see because he ''literally'' has ants in his eyes, so his prices are really low. Fortunately, he can't feel pain, but ''unfortunately'' that means he doesn't notice when a stove in his inventory sets him on fire. [[Crazy Awesome]] in a [[Black Comedy]] way...
