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. 🤷♂️
Also, is the DJ David Cross voices for KULT FM the same character he voices in San Andreas? 🤔
The ads didn’t actually want to sell you anything.

Except ammu nation, pets overnight, little lacy surprise…
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.
All the stations are such over the top parodies. Real world people saying dumb shit isn’t funny, it’s sad.
Patrice o Neal having a character in wktt gta4 radio is one of my faves. Those were so funny at the time
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.
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.
I hope there’s a radio station like this, however all the songs are really terrible and poke fun at AI throughout.
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.
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.
Fight Music for the Fight is still one of the most blood-pumping tracks I’ve come across. Amazing it shares a soundtrack with a censored version of Girlfriend by Avril Levine.
Wave 103, where the boys wear more makeup than the girls! Smashing!
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.
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!
I don’t think there will ever be another game with a soundtrack as good as Vice City.

GTA satire is now irl factual.
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.
You can literally just copy/paste the songs into a new playlist and delete the weird ones. It wouldn’t even be remotely hard
Actually that’s just true lmao
Wait until you hear the radio in fallout4. Man, that shit was sofa king good.
sofa king
Lmao. This pic fucking creeps me out every single time.
It was good, but I always liked the mod that added the songs from Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
I actually didn’t know that.
I know what Fallout’s radio lacks that would make it so much better: An in-world talk show. Like, the songs are great and all but they’re not unique to the game since they used licensed stuff. I like the DJ segments, tho. But I mean… All we get is a few seconds of Three Dog, or Mr. Las Vegas, or Travis here and there (depending on the game).
Imagine a GTA style talk radio station, but in the Fallout universe. Maybe the host gets a raider to talk to that inevitably ends with the raider shooting up the studio. Or a hick wastelander trying to show off his 3 headed brahmin because he doesn’t understand how radio works.
I’ve actually fancied a real podcast in real time during gameplay. A podcast that specifically talks about things relevant to the game itself so it doesn’t feel made up.
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
the only time i ever listen to radio talk shows are the ones on gta
man is lazlo fucking hilarious
