I'm with ohbabyray. I'll never forget the ... "No more Rice Krispies, we are out of Rice Krispies, My tears will not stop...till I hear snap, crackle, pop" Pagliacci send-up. Brilliant.
Also -- do you have the commercial that sent up Pagliacci? That commercial is imprinted on my childhood. In that one, a man's Rice Krispies were eaten up by his mother-in-law ("It's here sixteenth visit so far this year (cries)!"). Hilarious.
Because no one in the commercial making business has any imagination anymore. All they do is keep recycling old songs, now they are even stealing songs from old TV shows! Or they are so artsy fartsy you have no idea what they are trying to sell.
Miko Mayama: She played Yeoman Tamura in the original Star Trek series episode "A Taste of Armagedon".

Hmmm, I guess that was aimed at the Post Rice Krinkles character, who was Asian. (Rice Krinkles was a better cereal, too.)
