This old-school Pabst Blue Ribbon ad has one of the most schizophrenic voiceovers I've ever heard. The poor announcer keeps asking himself, "What'll ya have?" And responding in the same voice. Even the animated couple watching the boxing match sound like him. I can imagine the poor woman whose voice occasionally graces the jingle having to shove her demented partner out of the way so she can get to the microphone. The effect is so unsettling that it's hard to pay attention to the ad itself.
