John Moschitta Jr. is a unique talent with his fast talking. I was in elementary school when this commercial came out back in 1981, and it's still entertaining!

My favorite line was always... "I know it's perfect Peter, that's why I picked Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh's perfect Peter, may I call you Pete" "Call me Pete" "Pete" lol

I can't believe that the guy can talk so fast. Then again, he IS the voice of Blurr from Transformers, both G1 and Animated. I love how everyone was talking so fast in this commercial, not just Mr. Moschitta. XD

I remember when this commercial originally aired. Brilliant, kudos to the creators at Sedelmaier, and to John Moschitta, Jr (who was about 27 years old at the time) as the fast-talking executive!

So many little details that make this commercial so wonderful wonderful wonderful. The repetitions & alliterations (especially on the P's and D's), that smooth camera pan in the secretary's office, and the way John keeps his facial expressions fixed. Particularly in that last scene where his eyes look like they're locked & almost rolled into the back of his skull, while his fingers manically manipulate the phone buttons. They were really such small movements, but the robotic delivery & deliberate stabbing of the buttons make his movements look so much larger.

The handshake at 0:09 is the BEST part!

Still one of the greatest ads ever.

I have watch this for like the thousandth time and I am still not bored

An absolute gem. From about 1983, this ad won four Clio awards including, not surprisingly, best male lead performance.

Brings back memories I was 7 when this commercial came out and it's still funny.

This commercial for a present mail company starring the world’s fastest talker John Moschitta, Jr., back in 1981. The signature line “Okay, Eunice travel plans, I need to be in New York on Monday, LA on Tuesday, New York on Wednesday, LA on Thursday & New York on Friday, got it?” was widely imitated and became part of the American lexicon in the early 1980s. Mr. Moschitta, Jr., lived in the Southern California area and continued to act in national commercials.

I went to pick up a parcel from my local FedEx yesterday. As I sat waiting for my parcel I was secretly hoping for John Moschitta to come out the door and fire off a quick monologue at me xD

Joe Settlemeyer . . . one of the greatest commercial directors ever.

Unlike the modern world records for fast talking, each and every word spoken by John is legible.

Don't worry, it can be confusing and difficult, but it's worth it in the end to be good at speaking English. This guy is famous for his incomprehensible talking, especially in his micro machine commercials. John Moschitta Jr. held the Guinness World Record for being able to speak 586 words in a single minute, when the fast talking category was still around. If anyone can understand him or talk like him, they're pretty damn awesome.
