Okay. Someone please explain the happy fun ball commercial to me. I have never seen it.

One I’ve not seen mentioned was for 'Jew-ess" Jeans. It had Gilda Radner in some Jordache-type jeans… and the line was something like, for the Jewish princess…

Also, there was one for an Aerosmith album, and all the songs were ‘crazy amazing’ ‘cryin crazy’ ‘amazing cryin’ ‘crazy amazing cryin’ and on and on.

Also, did anyone mention the one where buckwheat sings the hits? “you unce, tice, fee times a mayday…”

And on the news one time, Father Guido Sarducci was saying ‘anyone can be pope’ and was selling pope outfits …“and for the ladies, the pope pantsuit.”

They did a triple-razor ad for when double-razors came out? Heh. When the Mach 3 hit the stores, they made a fake commercial along the lines of the Mach 17, with seventeen blades. It even showed a diagram of how each blade slices off one seventeenth of the hair. Hilarious.

Let’s not forget “Cookie Dough Sport”.

Of course, there’s “Homicil” (“For until you come around.”).  
I’ve found that most of the recent ones have been quite good; especially, for some reason, the ones with Will Ferrel in them.

nope… it’s the one with Garret Morris in full Marine Corps dress uniform, picking up guys on the street for sex.

The product is, well, a ball. A little orange ball. The commercial had “kids” shouting, “It’s happy! It’s fun! It’s Happy Fun Ball!” That took about 10 seconds.

That was followed by about 3 minutes of legal disclaimers and health hazard information about Happy Fun Ball. I found the text at [http://www.happyfunball.com](http://www.happyfunball.com) :

And I thought no one was going to mention Bad Idea Jeans…

The Amazin’ Laser. Arguably the funniest thing in the history of things that are funny.

**Caution: The following will sound absurdly stupid and be an unbelievably poor representation of what is, I assure you, hilarious.**

Possibly the best one, though, has Phil Hartman delivering a monologue while walking home from work, and using about 13 consumer products along the way (i.e. taking a drink of soda, fertilizing his lawn, and so forth) in such a manner that you don’t know what the commercial’s for, but it is quite clearly a commercial.

As he closes his front door, you see
