DaViD on DVD: Saturday Night Live: The Best of Commercial Parodies

Posted on by

We all love those parodies and spoofs of commercials on SNL, right? Well, now you can see a collection of them on DVD.

Most of your favorites will be there. I was glad to see that Bass Master 76, Buh Weet Sings, and of course Happy Fun Ball were all there. Oddly missing were Shimmer and the Adobe Car. There seemed to be too much emphasis on later years and some eras of SNL were almost completely missing. Still, it is enjoyable, it just leaves me wanting more of my favorites.

Here’s a low quality YouTube video of part of Buh Weet Sings. The DVD is high quality unlike this apparent VHS transfer:

Here’s a decent YouTube of Happy Fun Ball.

Be sure to see the extras on the DVD where there are several more commercials.
