Best SNL Commercials

[BruinEric]

I hadn't seen "Happy Fun Ball," so I started a filesharing app and downloaded it and watched it.

It is nowhere near as good as Schmitt's Gay. Not even in the ballpark.

It's not even better than the "change bank" one.

here are my nominations:

Schmidt's Gay

Little Chocolate Donuts (so classic)

Hey You (For 1 night stands)

My answer is definitely Happy Fun Ball, but I'm surprised that Big Red hasn't gotten any love.

Awesome. I had forgotten Big Red.

"He's big, big big. And he's red, red, red. That's how they got the name ... Big Red!"

Don't know if it was an ad, but the "Michael Jordan-approved pornography" was pretty good.

[StevieG]

Shimmer belongs on the list. From the first season, 30 years ago, and people still quote it.

"New Shimmer is both a floor wax and a dessert topping!"

Still, I have to go with Schmitt's Gay. Fantastic lampoon.

It's incomprehensible to me how Old Glory Insurance hasn't been mentioned yet.

That and Colon Blow get my vote.

I haven't read the responses.

The answer is: The Love Toilet.

my favorite was "Bad Idea" Jeans.

"I cheated on her, and she'll never find out - but hey, I think I'll tell her anyway"

Bad Idea Jeans

"I was going to wear a condom, but then I thought 'Hey, when's the next time I'm going to be in Haiti'"

Bad Idea Jeans

Classic Commercial

This was the one I was going to mention.

"Well, he's an old friend, he's just gotten off crack, and he needs someplace to stay for 6 months."

Bad idea.

Also, the recurring one about the investment firm is classic stuff.

I like the Christmas-time one with the crying baby Jesus nativity.
