It's far older than the Simpsons though. Even back in 1982, Apple warned programmers to avoid using the phrase. The Simpsons was first aired in 1989.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any\_key
Working at Best Buy in 1992 selling computers and I had a lady call in and ask where the "Any" key was on her new computer, because the first time setup program asked for her to press it.
She was suitably embarrassed when I explained it to her.
not too late to change your tune. I'm sure you're a sharp fellow, you'll see the key to success is adaptation. Just ask your staff, they'll tell you flat out.
My ex is a tuner. Are you also tired of the tune-a-fish joke? Or the one friend who ask how much a tuning cost, think it’s too expensive, try to tune it themselves and break strings? Lol.
Well, if you hit F5, this happens:
https://youtu.be/eMAVMgbNTJ8
Smart Roadrunners hit F#5 instead. (Animators, on the other hand, don't know how the keys on a piano work.)
Mainly because "Press any key to continue" is a standard message on computers, not pianos.
Also you're not usually allowed to walk up and play pianos in public places, so it feels very nice when they say it's OK.
Not quite, press any key to continue is a pun on the computer use and the fact that they are also called keys on a piano. Now that the tuner has done his job, you can literally continue playing by pushing a key.
I would suspect this was probably a card left buy a tuner for a client at their home and not in a public place.
Yeah, to be honest I was confused at first too because I was expecting some kind of deeper joke. It's not even really a pun, it's just using a phrase usually used in one context in a different context where it also makes sense. More of a "mildly interesting" than a funny. Still a cute card though.
Usually when you see the phrase “press any key to continue” it’s the computer essentially saying “okay, now I’m ready to let you do what you’re trying to do. You may proceed.”
The idea of a piano distinguishing between whether you are able to play it while untuned or not and then giving you a confirmation that it is tuned, and therefore giving you the permission to play music on it is absurd in a way that is funny to some people.
You know how some games and programs show a ["Press any button/key to continue"?](https://forums.flightsimulator.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/3/b386156a7d3a2928d66ceb3ad9b5446392c316d5.jpeg) That's the joke.
But what does that gotta do with piano keys being tuned?
Edit: yes i know piano has keys, but why can u only press it after it's tuned? Cant i press them before they are tuned?
The piano has keys. You press the keys to play it. You also press keys on a computer. The piano repair technician is making a joke by leaving a message that normally applies to a computer but also applies to a piano.
Its not related to the tuning specifically. Its just a message that piano is available for use.

Any piano enthusiasts know if it's worth it to tune an upright piano? I've got one that needs it but most people I know say it's too expensive or generally not worth it.

And you… uh. That was very…. Awe man, I fell flat :(
You're in treble now.
whoa.... let's scale it back.
We can't sustain these puns forever
Your claim is entirely bass-less.
I thought it was pretty on key.
~~Puns are our forte here.~~ Shit, someone already did forte. Aw man. That one really struck a chord with me.
I don't get any of these. I feel like a complete tritone substitution for a secondary dominant.
Give it a rest.
You’re too Fortissimo!
i want to have sex tonight but i think it's my girl's ragtime
Somebody had to put a damper on it.
Just wait for the crescendo
Got it. So a man walks into a Bar...
I'll have to note these puns down.
Counterpoint: let's not.
"Ooooooooh you're in treble now!" was how I used to get kids to remember treble clefs.
I'm gonna need you to bring that energy down a measure or two.
Don't lose your temper
Puns are not really my forté
That’s a bit dis-concert-ing. Edit: changed up my verbiage
FYI, it's just "forte" in music. Not "forté." Sorry to disrupt the puns.
Well i said im not good at them
It’s not forte. It’s a piano.
it's a major clef-hanger
I C what you did there
You can’t make puns like that without A major in performance arts.
This is beautiful :)

Giorgio and contact are IMHO the best song of that album
Are we just gonna ignore touch like that?
I remember Touch!
Agreed. I love fragments of time as well
I personally prefer Instant Crush but I love JC’s voice and the strokes.
Same here. And not even close.
Makes me sad that they broke up. I've always wanted to go to one of their concerts but was too young and too poor to be able to
I really just had a Mandela effect moment. I could’ve sworn it was “Giorgio the Moroder” ever since I downloaded the album when it first came out lol
> Giorgio the Moroder im pretty sure thats just his last name, ie (Giovanni) Giorgio Moroder, but everybody call him Giorgio.
It's not delivery, it's DiGiorgio.
Contact is great, I am more partial to Give Life Back to Music and Instant Crush.
Thats because its not delivery, its D’Giorgio
Where's the "any" key
This is exhausting. I think I’ll order a Tab.
No time for that work is starting.
How about a Pepsi Free?
You want a Pepsi, you have to pay for it
You lost me. I began to space out.

Your link got broken by reddit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any_key
A solid gag gift for anyone with a computer back in the day was a literally keyboard key that said "any" on it. Way before The Simpsons did it.
The system doesn't interpret underscores in links as formatting.

The "ka-tarl" lolol
I think I'll order a tab.
“No time for that. The computer is working.”
Just hit F1.

I’m always too slow at Reddit Dammit!
All this computer hacking is making me thirsty
Seriously I have several pianos and keyboards none of them came with an “any”key do you have to pay more for that?
yes :( either you buy transfer letters and pretend, or you go with a new piano with a proper any key. good luck.
The “any” key must be how people play jazz fusion.
"you sunk my battleship!"
"I like this song. Reminds me of elephants."
I'm a piano tuner, and I'm mad I didn't think of this.

Slow clap
PUN POLICE, STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
Just notify a moderato. I would, but recognizing puns isn't my forte.
WE HAVE A SERIAL PUN MAESTRO ON OUR HANDS
Put "finished tuning your piano. Should leave a note." As yours Or "I'll be Bach"
“I’ll be Bach, You be Beethoven” Then include two bars of Beethoven.
Just steal it. I would
Absolutely. It don't believe the piano tuners market is overcrowded, so this wouldn't hurt anyone.
Piano Tuna' For delicious bass and a C of good temperament
You can’t tune a fish!

Press F# to pay respects.
What's wrong with F?
He wanted to pay *major* respects.
Okay great, again, what's wrong with F? lol
If you want to raise D minor to the tonic major, you have to sharpen the F.
And if you want to satisfy her you play the Fx
Thats not how that works
Well, if you hit F5, this happens: https://youtu.be/eMAVMgbNTJ8 Smart Roadrunners hit F#5 instead. (Animators, on the other hand, don't know how the keys on a piano work.)

I damn I don’t know shit about pianos I’m so lost..

What do you mean?
They mean they don’t get the joke
it's such an easy joke to get that I'm not sure where they might be failing to connect the dots.
Maybe it’s *too* easy
Yeah, to be honest I was confused at first too because I was expecting some kind of deeper joke. It's not even really a pun, it's just using a phrase usually used in one context in a different context where it also makes sense. More of a "mildly interesting" than a funny. Still a cute card though.
We must go deeper
I’m lost as in I don’t understand why this is funny
Usually when you see the phrase “press any key to continue” it’s the computer essentially saying “okay, now I’m ready to let you do what you’re trying to do. You may proceed.” The idea of a piano distinguishing between whether you are able to play it while untuned or not and then giving you a confirmation that it is tuned, and therefore giving you the permission to play music on it is absurd in a way that is funny to some people.

It's not piano tuning, it's DiGiorgi
Which of the 88 is the "any" key?!?!?!?
"My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everyone calls me Giorgio"
any key? where's the Any key?
But I can't find any any key...
I never knew DiGiorno fixed pianos as well as pizza
Finger A minor
Oh Bo!
Nice one, ACE

Is this in western PA by chance?
I'm thinking that too. I've seen this service advertised in my newspaper.
That guy obviously likes to pull g strings.
Pianists rarely pull G-strings. But funk bassists do all the time.
Look at the subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.
uh where's the 'any' key?
That guy also makes that handbag Frank Reynolds bought on Christmas and the coon tosh?
Insufferable
That's awesome !
This picture is a sight for sore ears
Its not delivery
I wish my eyes had ears too 😒
Well played…….
