It's worth getting just for the short itself...it's so bizarre! Riffing is decent too, although it's too bad "Weird Al" couldn't join them for the VOD version.

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't happen, but that would have been really cool to have Weird Al as a guest for the studio released version as well. Oh well... I'm surely they'll release a DVD of the live event at some point. |

I thought this short was very funny at the live show.

I loved seeing this at the live show. It was really weird, but very funny.(Wants to make some blonde jokes, but won't)

This short has given me more laughter that anything in a long, long time. I'm constantly singing about Quality, Freshness, and Flavor now. CONSTANTLY.

Man, what an ear worm. I watched it Saturday and I STILL have that song running through my head. Aaa.Aaa. Make it stop!
I am amazed at some of the things advertisers could come up with back then. Not only this short, but many many ads from the time focus in on the cooking incompetence of brides.
It is impossible for me to believe that a young lady in her late teens or early twenties in the 1930's-1950's could not cook a basic meal, know nothing about measuring food or even how to shop for food. Yet you see this theme not only in educational shorts but many magazine ads of the time.
Were our Grandmothers that incompetent? Of course not. However the fib was purer then. Since there was no mass media except for the radio during this time I guess it was easy to believe that everybody except you was a fool when it came to food preparation.
One other thing. This short is great coupled with the Riff for "Drag Me to Hell." In a brief scene, which does not go unoticed by Mike and Bill, the lead actress is shown in a photograph as the "Pork Queen of 1995!" LMAO!

That Three Magic Words T-shirt will be a big hit at the next Meet-Up! Did you all see that?
