Nerve's Top 50 Ad parodies.

Personal favorites:

29. "Compulsion by Calvin Klein," SNL, 1987
17. "Schmitt's Gay Beer," SNL, 1991
8. "Hey, You!" SNL, 1977
4. "Buhweet Sings," SNL, 1981

...and of course (but at #13???) "Happy Fun Ball," SNL, 1991

But where's Action Cats and Roseanne Barr touting "Metrocard"? (Links anyone?)

And where the heck are the clips from Kentucky Fried Movie??? Or other sources besides SNL type shows?
 
In high school some friends and I did a parody of Happy Fun Ball.

:lol: Awesome stuff. I just loved the list of things not to do with Happy Fun Ball, "Happy Fun ball not legal in some states."

Adobe: The Little Car made out of clay was great too. :lol:

"Beverage-gripping dash!"
 
"Hello I'm Sam Watterson from the popular Television program Law and Order. As a senior citizen, I'm sure you're aware of the dangers Robots pose. They eat old People's medicine for fuel, and when they grab you with their metal claws you can't get away. Because they're made of metal, and robots are strong. So don't cower under your afgan any longer. Call Old Glory Insurance, for when the metal ones come. And they will."
 
There was this one that Phil Hartman did, it was about a car. On the inside, it was the very latest, state of the art, luxury automobile, with leather seats, killer sound system, the whole thing. But on the outside it was a beat-up piece of shit, with strategically placed oil leak and everything. :lol:

That would be the Adobe.

Spokesman: These days, everyone's talking about the Hyundai, and the Yugo. Both nice cars, if you've got $3,000 or $4,000 to throw around. But, for those of us whose name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller, finally there's some good news - a car with a sticker price of $179. That's right, $179. The name of the car?

Adobe. The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay. German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier. At this price, you might not expect more than reliable transportation - but, brother, you get it! Extra features: like the custom contour seats, or the beverage-gripping dash. And the money you save isn't exactly small change!

Jingle:
"Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
The little car that's made out of clay!
We're gonna save you some money
that you can spend in some other way!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Adobe!"

[ show Adobe driver get into a fender-bender. She casually steps out of the vehicle and uses her hands to mold her bumper back into its proper shape, in under six minutes! ]

Spokesman: Adobe. You can buy a cheaper car. But I wouldn't recommend it!

Announcer: Not approved for street use in some states. No warranty either expressed or implied. All sales final.

Do they have the "Rat in a Box" ad from J-Men Forever? If not, the list is clearly flawed.

Edit:

Nope. Fail.

(Showing my age) I liked the auto exhaust air freshener ad that Gilda and Jane (?) did.
 
Some not on there I liked.

Philidelphia action figures. Antonio Banderas' was a A transformer jet.

Homocil for dads coping with obviously gay kids.
 
I love the bris in the back of the large sedan to prove its smooth ride. Dan Aykroyd was the pitchman.

Link! Link! Or have they all fallen prey to corporate copyright-protection sweeps?
