Last night's SNL (with David Spade hosting) got my attention pretty strongly with its unbelievable media emphasis. For examples:
- David Spade's monologue centered around his Capital One appearance (best line was a question from the audience - "The first 150,000 times I didn't get that A-no-ha was A-lo-ha, but the second 150,000 times I got it")
- Parody of Roomba meets typical feminine hygiene ad with the introduction of the automated Woomba cleaning machine (I'm not going there....)
- Parody of 2 over the hill singers giving renditions of their best work...all of which are advertising jingles for corporations
- From the makers of Blind Justice, comes Deaf Judge and Idiot Doctor...a parody on ABC's attempts at 3-peating Lost and Desperate Housewives.
No question Spade was giving his client maximum bang for their buck...the rest of it is just a pretty accurate reflection on the state of the industry.
