Wed 5/14/2008 10:20p | So...this idea taken from the "Coed Dorm Room" thread in the Community section, what is/are your favorite Saturday Night Live commercial/s?
I'll list a few of my favorites for the time being:
-Swill Mineral Water: Bill Murray promotes his favorite mineral water, fresh from the springs of...Lake Erie.
-Handi-Off: Victoria Jackson's got too many fingers. Handi-Off's patented formula will get rid of those extra digits so she can go on her date with Dennis Miller.
-Curses...I can't remember the name, but it's the floor wax that's also a dessert topping! This ad featured Gilda Radner ("It's a floor wax!") and Dan Ackroyd ("It's a dessert topping!") as the married couple and Chevy Chase as the happy announcer. "Just look at that shine!" |

Wed 5/14/2008 11:30p | "Ray of Light" a preview for Disney's newest animated feature, starring Ray Lewis.
Nothing is funnier than when Beast gets stabbed by Gaston and Ray Lewis says
"Oh Snap, I didn't see sh**"
then pulls away in his limo. |

HAPPY FUN BALL It's the perfect simple play-time toy for the entire family to enjoy together! [Except that it may present a choking hazard. And that it's made from toxic materials. And it's been shown to cause cancer. And...]
COLON BLOW I'm not usually into bathroom humor. But just the name of this cereal makes me laugh!
GAY BEER Hilarious -- and scathing. All SNL had to do to point out how ridiculously vapid, sexist, and offensive beer commercials (and Van Halen videos) are in general was to substitute scantily clad men for scantily clad women.

Post #2: wasn't that the British toothpaste made with 2 spoonfuls of sugar, hence the stereotypical bad British teeth? |

Anyone remember the Citiwide Change Bank?
"We have been in this business a long time. With our experience, we're gonna have ideas for change combinations that probably haven't occurred to you. If you have a fifty-dollar bill, we can give you fifty singles. We can give you forty-nine singles and ten dimes. We can give you twenty-five twos. Come talk to us. We are NOT going to give you change that you don't want. " " "We make change. That's all we do".
I also liked the Phil Hartman add for the luxury car that was disguised as a beater so no one would steal it...
"There's attention to detail. Like three mismatched wheel covers, and one exposed rim in school-bus yellow. Standard."
Happy Fun Ball is definitely classic though. "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball"

I remember in that ad that Phil Hartman came back from the UK. They couldn't convert his pounds to dollars but they did give him an assortment of crowns, shillings and 10-pound notes, or something like that, lol.
How about "Buh-weet (Buckwheat) Sings"? Or would that be considered a sketch? |

Why, that's new "Shimmer." For the best shine you ever tasted.
Also loved Happy Fun Ball, Schmidt's Gay, the Citiwide Change Bank, and Hedley & Wyche "You won't HAVE to brush your teeth every week - but you just might want to!"
I also loved Lily Tomlin for AT&T back when they were a monopoly (as Ernestine, of course): "So the next time you complain about your phone service, why don't you try using two dixie cups with a string? We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company."

Annuale: New women's hygeine product makes it possible for women to endure their period just once a year, albeit with dangerous side effects the remainder of the year. (Hold on to your 'flipping' hat!) |
