Here's the SNL sketch I mentioned the other day when asked about pre-planned articles like obituaries written in advanced for Presidents.
Tom Brokaw (Dana Carvey) announcing: "Tragedy today as former President Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves.......He was delicious."
Brokaw to producer: "Now that's just superfluous. I mean, you know..."
Producer to Brokaw: "It's a former President, Tom. What are you saying? He's not delicious?"

244. The Big List of Favorite Commercials (part 17)
(part 16)
1985 Velveeta Extra Thick Slices "enough for the biggest cheese appetite" TV Commercial
This commercial is kinda sickening but I love that "extra thick" voice. That plastic cheese is too thick!
"Six Degrees of Separation" by John Guare at Lincoln Center Theater [1990]
"His shirt isn't bleeding! HE'S BLEEDING!"
Frankie and Johnny's Furniture: See the Special Man [1989?]
[grumbling] "Let her have it!"
Conan showed this old commercial from New Orleans on his show back in 2012.
Here is a news report on it.
Jane Lynch Roach Control Combat Commercial 1995
Doesn't this look like a parody of a Combat commercial, and not a real combat commercial? Reminds me a lil of that SNL sketch with the roach killer that teared off their legs and then used the legs to beat the roach to death. However, this time Jane is the host of the episode.
New Coke Commercial (1986)
Next time I go out this week (which let's face it will probably just be the Publix) I'm doing my makeup like this.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish - Commercial Classic 1985
This Minnie the Moocher x Filet O Fish mashup is a JAM.
Kraft Singles Tennis Cards Promo - Australian Commercial
We love you and your giant packs of cheese, Pam.
Little Shop of Horrors broadway play commercial 1983
Now, I've never seen Little Shop, I've only seen the parody on Family Guy of "Somewhere That's Green", and I just read the plot on wikipedia and it sounds sad. BUT but, this commercial has Marlene Danielle from Cats, pre her being with Cats through its entire original Broadway run.
1986 Snuggles Poison Contol PSA
Never ever ever...touch, taste or drink...bottles and boxes under the sink?
Such a clunky saying.
NBC Commercial - Thank You (1986)
I discovered this one from the Jaboody Show. Yes, they obsess over how bald Dennis Franz is, and how sexy John Larroquette is. This is a shorter version, I can't find the long one where Jane Pauley says "z'thank you".

"YOU JUST DO."
“YOU JUST DO.”
Almost since the onset of The Running Boom of the 1970s, the sport has espoused the Just Do It lifestyle, a phrase famously coined by co-founder of the Wieden+Kennedy advertising firm, Dan Wieden, who died October 3, 2022 at age 77.
But in that one phrase, Wieden captured the essence of a movement that defined an era. Just Do It was the embodiment of that, till then, unspoken, but powerful lure…

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
