Phil Hartman does his perfect commercial voice for a funeral home that guarantees "no sex with dead bodies." It's so wrong, yet so very right.

Phil Hartman sonorously intoning: "She was an incandescent angel, dancing on the edge of a ritual that was both innocent and jejune." and then Nora Dunn arching an eyebrow and saying: "A little club soda will get that out." (Jan Hooks): "Liar!!" Love it. Also liked Corn Chip Nail Tips.

I'm not sure I've seen anything, anywhere that made me laugh harder ('cept maybe Elvis Billy ;-) than the NPR Pete Schwetty bits. TOO funny!
