Happy Blimp plays a part in a radio advert for the reality TV show Liberty City Survivor, a show where "20 recently paroled guys [are] equipped...with grenade launchers and flamethrowers and have to hunt each other down..." In the advert, a fan says "I was grabbing a sandwich at the Happy Blimp, and suddenly two guys crash through the window and start shooting at each other. I was so excited, I didn't even notice I'd been hit! After that, I was hooked on Liberty City Survivor. I watch it every day in the hospital!"
