"Turbo Encabulator" the Original
Dave Rondot
The earliest filmed version of the Turbo Encabulator technical-jargon parody, shot in the late 1970s with narrator Bud Haggert. It deadpans a stream of meaningless engineering language.
Used as the canonical reference for the jargon-parody trope, and as a joke whenever technobabble appears.
