I think Bud Haggert's narration in the v1 "original" is still the best. Be sure to read the video description on it too.

good advice, fascinatingly it turns out the whole thing was part of the development of the IFB, the earpiece in common use on every tv news show: The turboencabulator skit was originally intended to demonstrate the usefulness of earpiece radios as a replacement for cue cards when actors are delivering lines for a video. Bud Haggart wanted to show that you could use the earpiece effectively even when the lines get ridiculously difficult to follow, so he used the turboencabulator as a subject because it'd been a running gag in the engineering community ever since its first technical description was published by John Hellins Quick in 1944.

I wish he didn't mess up "soinusoidal" though...
