Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Bass-O-Matic

Aykroyd wrote this bit and it was so off the wall that even today it remains a classic.

Answer: Oops I Crapped My Pants

This spoof was satirizing the adult diaper commercials like Depends.

3. This "SNL" classic features John Belushi as the star of this spoof. He has just finished competing in the decathlon when he credits his success to what product?

Answer: Little Chocolate Donuts

John Belushi also did a skit with white powdered donuts. It was satirizing his use of cocaine in that the powdered sugar of the donut appears underneath his nose.

Answer: Happy Fun Ball

Happy Fun Ball was a bit controversial. "SNL" brought it back though as a sponsor for the news one night.

5. This "SNL" commercial spoof was about a product that was produced from "German engineering with Mexican know-how". Its price was $179. What was the name of the product?

Answer: Adobe Automobile

The funny part was when the guy had an accident and wet it to "fix" the car.
As we are shown the spoof commercial, the driver has been seated in the driver's seat, he stands and we now see that his light colored clothing has a big red clay stain on the back of his clothes.

Answer: Colon Blow

In this spoof, the sudden emergence of 30,000 bowls would equal one bowl of whatever Phil Hartman was having. Introduced during the commercial spoof is even finished is Super Colon Blow that would now equal 2.5 million bowls of the cereal he was eating. That's a lot of bowls and a great special effect on this commercial spoof.

7. This spoof touted a product that you could barely hear about during its playing. It was also better tastin' cause it's mined. What was this spoofed product?

Answer: Quarry Cereal

Funny stuff. As they are sitting around enjoying a bowl, their crunching is so loud it is impossible to hear their breakfast converstaion. Imagine, if you will, what became of their teeth from eating this "mined" cereal.

8. The spoofed product made claim that it was a floor wax. No, its a delicious dessert topping. No, it's both. A floor wax and dessert topping! What was the name of this product being spoofed?

Answer: New Shimmer

This commercial spoof starred Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, and Chevy Chase.

9. This commercial spoof was for First Citiwide Bank that offered a particular service. What service was being satirized?

Answer: They made change.

This skit on "Saturday Night Live" originally aired on October 8, 1988.
-Bank Representative (character played by Jim Downey): "I imagine a lot of people don't realize that change is a two-way street. You can come in with sixteen quarters, eight dimes, and four nickels - we can give you a five-dollar bill. Or we can give you five singles. Or two singles, eight quarters, and ten dimes. You'd be amazed at the variety of the options you have."

I was totally fooled by this commercial spoof. There were two parts to this commercial spoof, both airing that night on the show hosted by Tom Hanks.

10. This commercial spoof was for the Royal Deluxe II automobile. This "luxury" car showed how smooth the ride was by having a ___________ perform a ______________________ in the back seat.

Answer: Mohel; circumcision

This spoof of the Ford LTD commercial with the diamond cutter in the backseat was such a fantastic idea and shows how much "SNL" has influenced us all in so many ways, and even through the "thin years" has some classic stuff.
