HeHe…Bad Idea Jeans…“Sure, I could’ve worn a condom, but then I thought ‘when the heck am I going to get to come back to Haiti?’”…
Has anyone already mentioned the Macintosh for Kids? There are a bunch of kids at a lunch table. One kid shows two others what he’s done on his computer.
“This dinosaur eating an army guy - it’s the best I’ve ever seen!”
" ‘Welcome to the Pubic Library’?"
“It said ‘public’. I changed it.”
It ends with the two other kids saying, “I guess our dads got us crappy computers.” “Nah, I guess we just have crappy dads.”
FUB, I loved the tagline for that one: “Apple. The Power to Crush the Other Kids.”
One I haven’t seen mentioned yet was for the Chameleon, a luxury car designed to look like a junker, down to the coathanger radio antenna and mismatched/missing hubcaps. “Car thieves take one look, and keep on walking.”
–sublight.
Am I remembering correctly that this product was crossed over to another sketch? Before I stopped watching entirely, I seem to remember Cheri Oteri having a recurring character: an unkempt, obnoxious little kid who won’t leave and won’t shut up. I believe she carried Gangsta Bitch Barbie.
I nominate Wilson Trap Doors.

I at least got a chuckle out of the watch so complicated you need 3 hands to work it.
What about the pro-oil commercial where they’re talking about all the good things they do and then say that if you don’t let government deregulate the industry this little girls going to die, this big black man will be out of work and angry, and this old man will also die, or something. teeheehee
Einstein Delivery Service “When it absolutley, positively, has to be there the day before yesterday”
Color graphics showing how they bend space/time to deliver packages before they were sent.
Cut to a desperate guy at the counter holding a pack of birth-control pills.
“I need to get these to my girlfriend 6 weeks ago”
“no problem sir!”
Now that would be a useful service!
“The camera so easy, even Stevie Wonder can use it!”
My favorite was for a British toothpaste, I forget what it was called, but seeing Chris Farley in mutton chops and black teeth was enough to make me fall sideways laughing. Also, though it wasn’t per se a commercial, Ernest Mainway’s products were always a riot. I wish I had a “Bag O’ Glass” when I was a kid.
It was full of sugar.
“It even tastes great on a cracker!”
“You don’t have to brush every day, but you just might want to!”
What about the delivery company that takes the blame when the customer sends a package too late? “This needed to be there a month ago!” They take the time to age the package, put tire tread marks on it, stamp it with foreign postal codes, and apologise for the wait.
Everyone has seemed to overlook one of my personal favorites, “Uncle Jemaima’s Mash Liquor” with Tracy Morgan playing Uncle Jemaima. “This shit will fuck you up” lol, and I love almost all the commercials mentioned above.
There was an ad for a car, voice-over’d by Dan Akroyd, that touted the “fine valencia cardboard” dash, and “genuine pleather” seating. I think the car was called the Cordova. Anyone remember that one?
I would agree that Oops is the funniest.
Digress to In Living Color…
There was one for the Coyote Ugly Escape Kit;
with a prosthetic arm that allowed easy, comfortable
removal and a simple escape, promising a “happy hump,
with no bloody stump!”
Hilarious.
Two old ones:
The parody of those old navy or marines recruiting commercials: “Port of Call, Bayonne, New Jersey”–all about how they’re looking for a few good men, etc.
Also, I recall some parody of the Harvey’s Bristol Cream commercials that I think involved Gilda Radner inviting filthy old bums up to her apartment or something like that…
Is that the one where they show all the “less glamorous” parts of beingin the service. Such as swabbing decks, cleaning toilets, etc.?
“Its not just a job, its $149.95 a week!”
is the one where they have cookie dough in the bottle (that looks like a gatorade bottle) and they show the guys playing sports and drinking the dough.
There’s only one maly liquor that will get your head humming
Cold Cock’s the one that you’ll never see coming!
I don’t remember the name of the product, but the one for the cereal that contained ecstacy. It stared Will Ferrell, and as an ex-raver I laughed my ass off at it. As soon as he takes a bite of the cereal, this terrible house music starts playing and they show shots of him at work wearing a “cat in the hat” hat and making out with his boss.
other than that one, I loved “Action Cats”, “Happy Fun Ball”, and the one were Will Ferrell talks about sueing dogs. My favorite line in that last one was when Tracy Morgan says “For 50 bucks, he told me he’d kill a dog”
Hey…forgot one

They were actually a online insurance firm but all the useful URL’s were taken.
Inspired by Happy Fun Ball™ and my frightening mother, I designed Happy Fun Mom, which you can see at http://www.hastur.com/abyss/funmom4.html
It was 1996 when I designed this, and I was just learning Paint Shop Pro, so… be kind, and hopefully you will be amused.
