Stan Freberg was such a potent antidote to the mainstream slapstick humor so popular when I was a kid. That you could be smart, and wickedly funny, without being vicious, and put concepts together that had you thinking while you were laughing helped form my taste for humor. I wasn't as aware of his influence in advertising, but it's gratifying to know that such a witty wonderful man had also been of significant influence there as well.
