Stan Freberg 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. – Stan Freberg American Quotes Benny Quotes Campaigns Quotes Cbs Quotes Cigarette Quotes Fashionable Quotes Freberg Quotes Jack Quotes Radio Quotes Replaced Quotes Reynolds Quotes Rj Quotes Sell Quotes Sponsored Quotes Stan Quotes Tobacco Quotes 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. 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.
