Right, but there's ALREADY AN EM DASH IN THE IMAGE ITSELF, therefore it's not "missing" a comma because it already HAS appropriate punctuation. So are you blind or just stupid?
it's an inside joke, and anti-joke inflicted by at least two people on somebody who isn't in on it
one guy says "no soap radio" and the person/people in on it pretend to laugh at it, and the people who aren't in on it will wonder what's so god damn funny about "no soap radio"
it's some gay, Andy Kaufman type shit
So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. 'What! No soap?' So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber.
Soap operas used to be common on radio and this radio could filter them out, hence why it's hyphenated as "no soap-radio!" A soap-radio would, in theory, only play soap operas.
Notice in shower scenes on television and in film they usually don't seem to use soap or at least they aren't covered in a soapy lather. The joke is about the lack of realism in such scenes.
The jike is that if you drop the soap you get raped by a Black person or something, i'm not too sure
oh and something about doing a crime and being in jail.
wait I think it has something to do about a old man too, like you and the old man are taking a bath together and then you get raped because the soap was was dropped. Or maybe a shower. Something like that
Anyway I just know its hilarious. It was used in films a lot.

because it should be pronounced with a Chicago accent: >NOSE-HOPE 'RAD-EEE-O
Nose-hope was a local radio station, and "Rad-eeeee-O Dad-eeee-O-O-Oh" was the silly catchphrase of the morning host (who was a local celebrity from the 1970s to early 90s for more-or-less infamous reasons), check this 1987 audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwgMGd6wfu
it's basically an innocent nod to the hometown of Matt Groening
>"No soap radio" is a form of practical joke and an example of surreal comedy. The joke is a prank whereby the punch line has no relation to the body of the joke, but participants in the prank pretend otherwise. The effect is to either trick someone into laughing along as if they "get it" or to ridicule them for not understanding.
>The joke became popular in New York in the 1950s. >New York
>his radio is soapy

It was a different time
It’s missing a comma
>no soap, radio!
It's not missing anything, it says
>NO SOAP-- RADIO!
Is this really a hill you want to die on ESL?
>doesn't know that an em dash is valid punctuation
>calls others ESL
>he doesn’t realize that either would be acceptable insofar as their functionally equivalent
>no soap - radio! = no soap, radio!

>it's a waterproof radio but not soap-proof
>yes you are adopted
>yes traps are gay
>you are gay

Its a radio that deflects soap in the shower
people in the past were just as capable of memes and irony and absurdism as people now, they just had different tech and culture
