In the midst of the radio broadcast of Sunday Night NHL Hockey in February of 1974, in which the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing the brand new Vancouver Canucks, a 30 second ad runs, in which approximately 25 seconds is just the ominous sound of Canada geese honking. Over the course of the commercial, the honking gets louder and the number of distinct geese heard increases. Finally, yelling to be heard over the sound of the geese, a nasal voice is heard speaking at the pace of an auctioneer:

FLY GOOSEWINGS! We are now Canada's OTHER airline! Now serving such scenic destinations as Winnipeg, Sudbury, Fort McMurray and SaskaTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! OW! IT'S BITING!

Returning to the broadcast, a commentator is heard to utter, "Ted, what the actual hell was that?"
