That's because the ads on GTA radio are just comedy bits. If ads on real radio were just clips of standup comedians, I wouldn't complain about 'em. π€·ββοΈ
Also, is the DJ David Cross voices for KULT FM the same character he voices in San Andreas? π€
The ads didn't actually want to sell you anything.

I can practically hear Jerry Seinfeld saying "What's the deal with Giggle Cream?"

All the stations are such over the top parodies. Real world people saying dumb shit isnβt funny, itβs sad.
Patrice o Neal having a character in wktt gta4 radio is one of my faves. Those were so funny at the time
My main radio station I listen to is publicly funded so there's no ads. It does however have a show with 2 comedians doing social and political commentary with deadpan delivery. Sadly just one episode per week.
There's also a hangover show with other comedians but I don't find it as funny recently. Greatest hits include things like a morning exercise routine that concludes with moving yourself just enough to grab a beverage and resume drinking.
The only music station I listen to is one run by the students in a liberal art college near me, on a good day it has a range of something like 10 miles. There is almost no talking except station ID notices and everything they play is music I like.
I'm a 50 year old goat farmer with "scene girl" taste in music.
Hey... wait a minute...
This image is moving!
(It's so subtle lol, I almost didn't realize this was a gif, thought I was going crazy)
I will not, you are correct.
Old World Radio for Fallout 4 is the best radio I have yet come across. Ice Cream Carl is the best DJ! I will die on this hill.
I'm listening to Fallout radio so much, Spotify Wrapped said that my listening age is 100.
Ah, so thats what 'old soul' means, hahah!
I've played New Vegas so much that I can now actually just sing along to half the songs in the game.
I've got a decent baritone voice, I can do Big Iron, Blue Moon, Heartaches by the Number, Jingle Jangle Jingle, whistle the solos, etc.
Butcher Pete from FO3 is also quite fun to sing, haha!
And of course: I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire.
And and, I dunno if These Boots Are Made For Walkin' made it into a Fallout game, but it very much seems to fit, and I taught myself to sing a baritone version of it.
Also you'd really think Hound Dog and Heartbreak Hotel would fit in, but I guess nobody can afford the licensing rights, hah!
But yeah I'm gonna say Mr. New Vegas is my favorite dj from the series... much better voice synthesis than our modern day, newfangled LLMs, Mr. House has some kinda trick up his sleeve, as usual.
We got self-refferential 'chuck norris' jokes:
"You know, I tried to measure my Charisma on a Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester once. The machine burst into flames."
... and a comforting, soft yet commanding voice, telling you:
"It's me again, Mr. New Vegas, reminding you that you're nobody 'til somebody loves you. And that somebody is me. I love you."
<3
I've bought so many old records due to the fallout series... Damned be their music selection
E: GTA got me listening to K-DST day and night as well
Fallout music has been the weakest part of any of the series, I use to pop out the disc after the game loaded and play CDs in the originals. Thhhhhhrrrrrreeeeee Doooooggggg if your out there vault looter pick up some music that doesn't stink up the room.
I really like rockabilly and 50's music in general. Love classical music! Liszt, Debussy, Chopin, Brahms, Strauss, Wagner, really a great lineup.
But OWR brought so much to the table. Ali-G, Schwarzenegger, Bobcat, as radio hosts. NIN instrumental, synthwave bangers, Twilight Zone, Peewees Playhouse, 8-Bit Hits.
I still just put on SynthstreamFM youtube and code for 7 hours and put it on again.
Icecream Carls hatred for Machoman's antics, his love of Trashcan Carla the Commonwealth just feels better!
Burnout Paradise had a really awesome soundtrack, too. Driving games always pay for the bangers, and it must be a lot of fun to write fake news and whatnot for interstitials.
HEY HEY YOU YOU I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Fight Music for the Fight is still one of the most blood-pumping tracks Iβve come across. Amazing it shares a soundtrack with a censored version of Girlfriend by Avril Levine.
GTA 6 is gonna be filled with AI-Generated In-Universe Radio
MARK MY WORDS
(did I jinks it?)
A tech bro radio station, filled to the brim with AI songs actually sounds like a very GTA thing to do.
Lazlow Jones (the writer/voice of the radio stations) and Dan Houser (Co-founder of Rockstar) left the company to work on an AI Satire venture.
Wave 103, where the boys wear more makeup than the girls! Smashing!
I don't think there will ever be another game with a soundtrack as good as Vice City.

I was so upset the other day, I went onto Spotify and looked up GTA San Andreas radio, and hit shuffle. This is a playlist I've used for a while that was always accurate to the original game, but sometime seemingly recently someone added songs that absolutely weren't on the original playlist, things like dua lipa. The playlist had been infected with like 8 songs, mostly from 2019. Shit was beyond disappointing, but that's what I get for using Spotify.
You could look up the songs used in San Andreas and put together your own Playlist. Fix the injustice in the world and all that.
GTA satire is now irl factual.
Wait until you hear the radio in fallout4. Man, that shit was sofa king good.
Seconding Fallout for OWR and ConelRad, and Saints Row, but also my newfound love Cyberpunk 2077.
Maybe a bit niche, and I haven't played in a while, but the piped in bar music at stations for Elite Dangerous was incredible. It did not have to be that diverse and immersive, but their sound team doesn't do anything less than 100%.
Actually that's just true lmao
How do you like to eat your rusty browns ring donuts?
Some of the radios in vice city were so funny. I still listen to them today at work
Saints row is as well.
the only time i ever listen to radio talk shows are the ones on gta
man is lazlo fucking hilarious
It is egregious to use that close up wood texture at this scale.
The devs had a better taste in music than most irl commercial stations.
I would 100% listen to a JB Smoove Radio station if it was exactly like his GTA V one lmao.
For a while I had GTA radio on my car radio
I've been playing GTA 4 the radio selection is so good. I always end up finding some songs I would have never listened too.
Sim Copter had pretty fun radio
Need for speed most wanted playlist was a banger as well to be fair
