Square One TV: Harry's Hamburger Haven

[NDW85]

Which season is this sketch from? I am curious.

This sketch makes a good point about advertising. You'd never hear a commercial say something like "Point-four off the regular price!" or "Now with 5/10 more chips in every cookie!" The word "percent" just makes the number sound bigger, even if it means the same thing.

@jhillst

I think it's the 70 that sounds bigger than the 7, and that's what makes it better for advertising. but that's just me.

.9 More French Fries Then The Other Guys

I once hurt myself on a .7. I'm still a little scarred by the whole incident...

[nataschaafsma]

That was actually quite clever :)

The seven is pointy.

Their writing would never fly today: The writer can't be Jewish, the white guy should be black, and the girl should be speaking Spanish.

Don't forget a stereo from "Stefan's Stereo Stuff". THAT along with Harry's and Dite Lite is the third decimal/fraction/percentage skit on Square One.

the seven is pointy you dummy.

Pretty much the same as the Diet Lite Wet sketch.

[BriSchwa82]

Well Harry's Hamburger Haven and Diet Lite Wet sketches are equal.

[JoelsHitShow]

Mmm, and to drink I could order a Diet Lite Wet!

A Square One favorite. Thanks again!
