SNL's Happy Fun Ball

If you are like me, then you mock television advertising qualifiers that end most medicine commercials and some others. This is the ultimate "qualifications" ad from Saturday Night Live. There are three versions of this video: Windows Media 9, Quicktime 7 and a form which is playable on the Apple Video iPods.

SNL's Schmitts Commercial

This is one of the top five Saturday Night Live commercials ever aired and definitely the funniest of the 1991-92 season, which I am calling Schmitts. There are three versions of this video: Windows Media 9, Quicktime 7 and a form which is playable on the Apple Video iPods.

The original airing of the commercial included the song "Beautiful Girls" by Van Halen and was subsequently changed to a generic rock riff, which basically sucked. Via some technical slight of hand, I have restored the original Van Halen soundtrack.
