Commercials....

[Tom]

My favorite commercial was on I think something like twenty years ago, and I only saw it twice (I think they might have run into some legal issues).

It was a parody of the Folger's coffee commercials in which an announcer would say in hushed tones "We're in one of America's finest restaurants, and we've replaced the fine coffee they usually serve with Folgers crystals. Let's see what happens."

In this commercial, a similar announcer in a similar restaurant said "We're in one of America's finest restaurants, and we've replaced the fine coffee they usually serve with sand and ground-up clam shells. Let's see what happens." Cut to shots of the diners sipping from their cups, then gagging, spitting up, throwing cups to the ground, overturning tables, throttling the waitstaff. Turns out it was a commercial for a vacuum cleaner.
