Last weekend, during Saturday Night Live, I saw this outragiously funny commercial advertising the Macintosh Jr. At the time, I thought it was a real commercial, but no one seems to know anything about such a product. Did anyone else see the commercial? Does anybody know for sure if it's a real product? I might add that it was probably the best computer ad I've ever seen. -- "I'm sorry. | Il Hwan Oh If you were right, | University of Washington, Tacoma I would agree with you." | iho@cac.washington.edu -- Dr. Malcolm Sayer, _Awakenings_ |

It was done impeccably in the style of every Mac "boardroom" commercial I've seen. They must have watched a ton to get it right. The backwards Apple logo was priceless, too. Their other fake ad was a cute, if silly, "Happy Fun Ball!" ("Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at." "Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball." "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball") Heh heh heh... >jkain@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu Derek L. -- Apple's Marketing Staff: The Power to Beat IBM With a Blunt Object

Who was the guest star for SNL when this 'commerical' aired. I'd be
interested in keeping my eye out for it in some future repeat so I could
see it!

Since I can never catch SNL, I kinda missed this one, but because I'm an Apple affecionado, I'd like very much to know what I missed! WOuld some enterprising soul give a transcript of what went on?

For those looking for the repeat (and this SNL commercial was well worth it), the guest host was Rosanne Barr and the musical guest was DeeLite (sp?). The commercial was in the last third of the show. I plan to tape it myself :-) Brian *************************************************************************** patten@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu Future site of Institute for Astronomy a really clever University of Hawaii at Manoa .sig quote ;-) ***************************************************************************

For those of you who want to catch this commerical the second time around, it came on about 55 minutes into the show.

That was the first time I watched SNL for about 2 years. Boy howdy was the fake Mac Jr. add funny. I am surprised that Apple has not sued NBC. SNL usually has only 1 fake ad, and it is generally very early in the show. This program had 2 fake ads, and the Mac Jr. add was shown very near the end of the show. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.

I didn't see the original posting on this, but I did see the show.

Yeah, I caught the ad, too, and thought it was very amusing -- primarily because I was fooled into thinking it was the *real* thing until, that is, I heard the slogan "Mac Junior - The power to beat the other kids," or some such thing. -- David L.

Well, if it matters, it was spelled without the "a"; it was spelled
McIntosh Jr. I just wished I taped it! :)
