I was watching the Simpsons last night and during the first commercial break saw what I belive to be the family from the fake Mr Hankey commercial. It was another fake commercial involving a cartoon sun chasing the screaming family around the house (same house). It was actually a fake commercial within a real commercial for sprite. Has anyone seen this?
Fake commercial family?
WHAT???? The Mr. Hankey commercial was FAKE???? No wonder I can't find the construction kit anywhere!!! ;->
BTW - that commercial goes down as my all time favorite!

I'm sorry guys but I hate advertising. It pisses me off but during the Simpsons the other night there was a Sprite Commercial involving a fake product called Sun Fizz. I can't hope to desscribe it all I can say is that after you see this commerical Aunt Jemyma and The Pillsburry Doughboy will never look the same the again.
HA! I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!! Agreed -- my girlfriend and I were just about throwing up we were laughing so hard!!
Now, _THAT'S_ really laughing! ;->
And speaking of throwing up... Re: The thread about BK's new french fries...
This is true! I kept reading that thread and everyone kept saying how the fries really suck and stuff...so I made a special trip to BK just to try them out. Well, they weren't bad (as far as small fries go, McDonalds are better). I was gonna write here and stick up for them but the next morning, I woke up, ran to the bathroom, and threw up VIOLENTLY!! I felt terrible all day (fever too!). By the following day, I was fine.
Probably coincidence, but I can't help thinking, "OH MY GOD! YOU ALMOST KILLED GARY M. !!! YOU BASTARDS!!!!"
Ever heard of "Spuds?" THEY are the best fries in the universe!

"AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! TURN OFF THE BLINKER!!!!"
Great.
And wouldn't you know it, the kids and I were watching the Simpsons, saw that commercial and almost died-the best commercial in years. It a goddamn shame when I tape the Simpsons, I cut the commercials out-that one was a keeper. RUN KIDS!!!!!!!!

I'm proud to say that I haven't eaten McDonalds "food" for over 10 years :)
and if you want realy good fries, go to In and Out.
(although I like my own homefries best, I cuttup potatoes(leaving the skin on) and onions, and fry them in butter! Yummy!!!!!)

Darn! I was watching B5.
They will probably play it again though :)

That old SNL commercial of Belushi and the little chocolate dounuts always gets me hysterical.
In article ,
While "little chocolate donuts, breakfast of champions" is still a fave saying, I have to nominate as best fake commercial Al Yankovic's "Spatula City" from his film UHF. He managed to get all the tacky commercial cliches in one spot -- "Buy nine spatulas, get the tenth one for just one penny" and the immortal "What better way to say I love you than with the gift of a spatula?"
Yeah, I am biased in Al's favor, but it's still a great ad.

Nah, nah. Best SNL ad of all time is the gay beer ad with Farley and Sandler.
That commercial was HILARIOUS! Sprite commercials are about the only commercials worth watching...along with some of those Miller Lite commercials. (The angels one that got pulled was great...)

If Aunt Jemima ever look that good, Uncle Ben be jumpin off of his box and sayin "That my bitch." Chill,

I saw that Sprite commercial too and was REALLY impressed! I normally hate commercials because they're so damn insulting to the collective intellect of our lovely American population, but....
That commercial had me laughing and wondering why the person who came up with it is doing commercials, and not something more entertaining. It's rare that you see a commercial use blatant satire like that (the first bunch of Energizer Bunny commercials are the only ones I can recall).
Anyway, I doubt it was the same family as in Mr. Hanky, but it hadn't crossed my mind, either. I'll check next time I see it.

As soon as that sun started talking, I said "Mr Hankey!!" It was even better when they started running and screaming.
Sprite has been doing a lot of great ads in recent years, like Little Caesar's, I think they are trying to stand out by doing the strangest ads they can.
Yes! That was *hilarious*!! I couldn't stop laughing at this! It reminded me of the original idea brought to life by the members of MTV's The State, about 3 or 4 years ago. In that fake ad, there was a woman doing laundry and talking about how her clothes smelled nice and fresh because of her dryer sheet...then this little cuddly bear comes out of the clothes (ala Snuggles) and she starts screaming and slamming the shit out of it with the nearest blunt object. :)

Necrophilia means never having to say...well...anything!
FAKE??!??! I've been running all over town and checking all the stores for the kit. What am I suppose to do with this big box of poos I've been saving? I have an idea. The next time my buddy is drinking his coffee.....hmmmmmmm....
