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!"

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.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs You might be thinking of Schmidt's Gay, the beer for gay men; Adam Sandler and Chris Farley were in the commercial, housesitting for a friend, and were soon joined by a parade of muscular men in thongs. Post #2: wasn't that the British toothpaste made with 2 spoonfuls of sugar, hence the stereotypical bad British teeth?

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"

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?
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I can't remember the name, but it's the floor wax that's also a dessert topping! > 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."

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I don't know the name of the actual product but its the Swiffer baby sleepers. The one that they put the babies in the pajamas that are covered in those swiffer pad thingies.
Originally Posted By DAR BTW kudos to the current cast and writing staff of SNL, the show has been very funny lately.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 I love Schmidt's Beer & Buckwheat Sings. "Once, twice, fee times a mady." Gosh, I loved that one even as a kid from seeing a little clip of it, and I didn't even totally get it, lol. I can't remember the name of it, but the Lumberjack feminine product one just cracks me up.
