Los Satisfechos

by Aaron Odland

Originally aired on The Complacents February 3, 1996

Web Page Maintainer's Note: A couple of months before this, I wrote a fake commercial that was a parody of IBM's then-current "Solutions for a Small Planet" ads in which people spoke in foreign tongues about IBM. On TV, the ads had the benefit of subtitles; for my radio commercial, I had people speaking in pig Latin.

The rest of the cast took one look at my script and refused to do it.

A few months later, Aaron wrote this script, and no one had any objections. I think my pig Latin pronunciation would have been better than my Spanish pronunciation was, though.

MR. ANNOUNCER
...and coming up soon, "The Complacents."

A SPANISH COMMERCIAL begins. (This will be pre-recorded but I wrote it out anyway.--AO)

SPANISH MAN
Este fin de semana...sabado...un partido de futbol spectacular! El equipo nacional de Brazil entre los jugadores de Argentina. Lo va a hacer un partido SUPER! SUPER! SUPER! Escucha aqui a las tres de la tarde en WNUR...radio para Uds!

The commercial ends and Mr. Announcer is not to be heard. The voice of SENOR ANNOUCER is replacing his.

SPANISH ANNOUNCER
Y ahora..."Los Satisfechos."

"LOS SATISFECHOS" THEME plays.

MR. CREAMSICLE
Fig! Fig! Tenemos una problema!

FIG
Mc Pollo?

MR. CREAMSICLE
Pues, es obvio que Mc Pollo no es carne de este mundo, pero tenemos una otra problema!

FIG
Que es eso?

MR. CREAMSICLE
Johnny no esta aqui...porque el esta con una mujer de Lunchbox.

FIG
Pero Johnny esta con muchas mujers porque el es un hombre suave.

MR. CREAMSICLE
Si, pero esta vez...Johnny...esta casado!

FIG
Dios mio!

MR. CREAMSICLE
Si! Dios mio! Fig, donde esta tu tio?

FIG
Por que?

MR. CREAMSICLE
Quiero jugar el partido especial.

Mr. Announcer cuts in and offers an explanation.

MR. ANNOUNCER
Sorry about that! I accidently popped in the Spanish language radio feed of "The Complacents." The show is now in syndicated broadcast in over 40 different countries in 17 languages. And now in correct English form...what you've all been waiting for..."The Complacents!"
