Yup - that's exactly where that quote came from.  That show changed an entire generation of youth's activities on Saturday nights - no matter where anyone was, when it was time, EVERYONE tuned in.  It was amazing.
 
I believe that fake commercial for the floor wax / dessert topping had Lorraine Newman and Chevy Chase, if memory serves.
 
I also liked the other fake commercials - Bass-O-Matic, Puppy Uppers and Doggy Downers, the early Weekend Update, Point/Counterpoint - Jane, you ignorant....., etc.

Bass-o-Matic?  Tel me more.  Is that fishing or voice-related?
 

Bass-o-Matic had Dan Akroid selling a blender that would whip up an entire bass including the fins.   Ummm good drink!

Well where can I get hold of kitchen re-modelers from England? I need a new kitchen.  I hear they are 20 to 40% better!

Spammers have gotten worse lately. We see the same thing at Harmony Central. OTOH, if you're interested in live streaming of football games that will remove belly fat and improve your sex life while removing unsightly wrinkles, these are vital public service messages.

ROTFLMFAO!!

If I felt that a product could actually achieve all that, it might even get me to watch football!

The Bassamatic commercial included a live demo on a dead fish.  That is what made the commercial.  I can't see anyone getting that graphic today.  Maybe if you could CGI the fish....

Better than a dead demo on a live fish!

Wookie's on it. They'll be lucky if they left with their arms intact.

I know that feeling very well. The ones that really make my agent orange act up are the ones that manage to slip in and post 100 times to every forum and subforum before they can be stopped.
