NBC Peacock In Reverse

The notorious upside-down and "bass-ackward" NBC Peacock from the "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" gag reel.

That's probably how NBC network broadcasts were heard in South America, since the radio waves from VHF transmissions reverse polarity when they go across the equator.

Even when upside-down and backwards, it still is one of the best logos ever.

@Bikini6769 The following program is brought to you in living color on that one channel David Sarnoff masturbates to.

If Harry Caray were still alive today, wouldn't he just love this video?

@YountPower Not misunderstood. That was what it sounded like. Now do you understand how people can hear backwards messages in music? If you hear stuff backwards, eventually you're bound to hear things that sound like real words. As a child, I played a record of Perry Como reciting "The Night Before Christmas" backwards and it sounded at one point like he said "pants on the wall". It was a running joke between me and my friends for months afterward to just randomly say that to each other.

Every once in a while in the '60s and very early '70s on independent UHF stations, you'd see a commercial get placed on the reel like this. Usually the results were very bizarre like this, but sometimes it could be quite funny. Once on channel 56 (Boston) they did this with a Cap'n Crunch ad and you had the Cap'n, Sea Dog and Jean LaFoote (the Barefoot Pirate) chasing each other backwards around the ship. Ahhh, I guess you had to be there.
