THere was that one that dissolved escess fingers and toes (Finger-Be-Gone and Toe-Be-Gone?)

**Obsession** perfume, **Pampers Thong** , and what was that luxury car that looked like a junked-out piece of crap?

The Chameleon 2000, I believe. They might tow it away, but they’ll never steal it.

It was not one of their spoof products in the strictest sense, but my favorite SNL faux item was one of those outrageously dangerous goods sold by a sleezeball toy manufacturer played by Dan Ackroyd\*: **Bag o’ Glass**.

“It’s a science toy!”

That’s it. Seeing him pour it out over ice with a bottle cap and a dirty syringe cracked me up.

“I like mine with a twist!”

Janeway is the captain of Voyager. 🙂

Someone else got it right with Mainway, I believe.

I’m pretty sure it’s MAINWAY.

I’m really beginning to think I’m invisible…

Was the perfume Obsession? That’s the real product, isn’t it? Wasn’t the gag product Compulsion?

“A little club soda will get that stain out.” “LIAR!”  
“Between cleanliness and godliness, there is Compulsion.”

My favorite is one from the first or second season. It was for, get this, _ **a triple-bladed razor!!!** _ Can you imagine something so ridiculous?!!

The tag line was:

**"Because you’ll believe anything…"**

Not too long ago they sort of spoofed their earlier spoof (for obvious reasons) by doing an ad for a 14-bladed one!

\*\*Homocil

Teeny-Weenies!

Bathroom Monkey\*\*

What was the name of the toy commercial for something like **Big Red**? “You pour the blood in the helmet!” It was like an Eric the Viking doll that spun blood out its horns.  
There was another one for a floor cleaning product that Molloy Shannon was in. She talked about the cleaner and drifted into talking about sleeping with rock stars or something, and then how she ended up with her husband. Help?

Oh, Bathroom monkey was a good one!

Available in Red, Blue, or Orangutan! (WARNING! Orangutan does not wear pants!)

Was anyone else rather disturbed in the part where they said, “And when your bathroom monkey ceases its uselessness, simply throw it away and buy a new one” and it shows the woman throwing a bag containing a _dead bathroom monkey_ in the garbage can?! :eek:

Canis, perfume for dogs.

Folgers crystals (real product, but spoof of their usual commercial) - thick enough, rich enough to replace human blood.

I think it was the AssJet (maybe 4000).

The one with Roseanne and Phil Hartman spoofing a credit card… I can’t remember many of the details now, just that he was going on about how helpful she was and she kept insulting him and all of their customers.

I like the product that you use when your toilet is full of … _ **SEWER RATS!!!** _ It doesn’t kill them, it just puts them to sleep.

Oh, and the roach trap that immobilizes the roaches, burns their asses then rips off all of their legs and smacks them over the head with them.

I have to enter my vote for this one as one of the all time best. A great concept, beautifully shot, perfectly paced, and brilliantly performed. **Jan Hooks** was one on the most talented performers ever on that show. WHY ISN’T SHE GETTING MORE WORK???
