Lone Ranger Lone Ranger and Tonto in a commercial for Jeno's Pizza Rolls produced by ad man/satirist Stan Freberg. The commercial was a spoof of a then-current commercial for Lark cigarettes which also used the "William Tell" overture theme music. A recorded routine by comic Lenny Bruce formed the basis for the 1971 animated cartoon, "Thank You Mask Man", produced by John Magnuson Associates.

Parody versions of The Lone Ranger (called Lonely Rider) and Tonto appear as main characters in 1971 Finnish western comedy "The Unhanged"
