IIRC the Okra Cola sketch was from Carol Burnett.
The Navy Adventure It’s not just a job it’s $96.78 per week. See your recruiter.
No, this was on a Steve Martin TV special from the early 80s. It featured a big musical number at the end (and I think Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman).
I’m so bad at remembering names…How about that exercise machine where you dance? They had the watutsi, the swim, etc. There was a whole elabroate thing that you strap yourself into.
I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”
Anyone mention Ballz-Off yet? Now in Italian strength!
Just remembered another one. During Martin Short’s tenure, he occasionally played an extremely sweaty attorney. In one episode (hosted by Alex Karris), the sweat is used as the special ingredient in “Brow Beer”.
Ethnically correct toilet paper.
Because a black man shouldn’t show up to work with white toilet paper stuck to his razor cuts.
I can’t remember the product name, but there was an ad for an apartment window-mounted particle beam weapon that automatically homed in on and vaporized cars whose alarms went off for no good reason.
That was Cold Cock Malt Liquor. Not to be confused with other SNL fo-dogs like A.M. Ale and Long Leak.
“A.M. Ale - for when you can’t wait 'til afternoon”
“There’s only one malt liquor that’ll get your head hummin’. Cold Cock’s the one that you never see comin’!”
“Long Leak Malt Liquor - yo, don’t drink the whole thing!”
“F’ed Up Malt Liquor - the F stands for FIRE!”
I’ve always been a big fan of the Bass-O-Matic and Eddie Murphy’s Galactic Prophylactic (which I didn’t see mentioned, but I’ll admit I skimmed 
), but nothing I’ve ever seen on SNL has made me laugh harder than that adorable little thing with the words “MONKEY HATE CLEAN” written in lipstick on the wall behind him.
MAIMWAY! with an “m” in the middle. Because the dangerous toy could maim a person. Get it?
Nope. It’s Mainway, with an N. Irwin Mainway.
“and a heated metal coil sears his reproductive organs. Then wads of turnpentine soaked cotton are placed there and in his mouth while a piece of tantalizing food is dangled just out of reach. None of these will exactly kill the roach but they will give him plenty to think about.”
When I read the OP the first things I thought were “Swill” (tho I couldn’t remember the name), Big Red, the Roach trap, and Bathroom Monkey. But I also dearly love the Philadelphia action figures, Battle Cats and, I think I’m the first to mention… BIG BRAWN Feminine Napkins (“like a big friendly lumberjack between your knees”.)
How about Einstein Express, the delivery service that could send packages backwards in time?
the commercial ends with Kevin Nealon holding up a package of birth control pills and saying “I need to get these to my girlfriend 6 weeks ago”.
Man, anyone who invented that service would be the world’s first trillionaire in pretty short order.
What?!? No one has mentioned the David Spade skit with the phone company?!
“OK, we’ll even kill your boss!!”
I’m blanking on the names of both of these (hey, it’s finals week; cut me some slack), but two of my more recent favorites are the anti-perspirant that has testerone in it, and thus makes its users violent and caveman-esque. It had great shots of Tim Meadows and Chris Kattan with yellow animal eyes, hunting down and killing prey (whether it be a deer or a pitcher).
The other was Will Ferrell in an exercise-gizmo ad, something like BioUnit 3000. You open the box, and this caveman pops out and attacks you. The ad featured cut-away shots of all the muscle groups that get worked out, and featured a series of shots of a wrestling match that pretty much destroys the guy’s house.
Huh. Two cavemen in one post. I guess I have a thing for primitive humans.
What? Noone has said anything about the Amazin’ Lazer!
“Amazin Lazer may be used for evil or godd. Please only use Amazin Lazer for good.”
“On second thought, please don’t buy Amazin Lazer at all.”
Hmm…most of my faves have already been hit…and hit again…
Anyone recall the name of the semi-creepy commerical for the pills that make women all Stepford-y?
Or the travellers cheques that employ mercenaries to track down theives and kill their families?
And who can forget Alec Baldwin and his “Schweaty Balls”?
Or The Love Toilet?
