Luis plays "Mister Whuffle" to Rita's "Viva: The Opera Star!" in this spoof of the old classic Charmin commercial. The dutiful, dependable Joe Raposo lends the skit an arch, smartaleck tack piano send-up of a certain opera aria.

  • Rita Moreno is fantastic! Is this from the electric company? If so who is playing MR Whoffle?

  • Yes, this is from an early episode of The Electric Company (I'd look up which one but I'd have to rehook up the VCR, heh heh... too tired this morning). Luis Avalos plays "Mr. Whoffle".

  • November 19, 2007: Dick Wilson, Mr. Whipple from the Charmin commercials' fame, died today at age 91. RIP, Mr. Wilson.

  • You know what would be really ironic? Mr Whipple at home, reaching for the bog roll.. only to find nothing but a cardboard tube.

  • [THUD]

    hit floor laughing

  • I choose toilet paper by the process of elimination.

  • I hope you didn't have to... strain... to make that decision.

  • its charmin not clarmin

  • @zacandtaylorrule Luis Avalos.

  • This reminds me of a National Lampoon radio bit that's a Mr. Whipple Charmin commercial gone wrong. Mr. Whipple approaches a dude (with long hair, looked like a woman from behind) caught squeezing the Charmin. The guy attacks him for being a weirdo who "gets his kicks off talking to ladies about toilet paper". He calls his buddy over to hold Whipple's hands behind his back, then starts squeezing other various items in the store to make a point.

  • Rita was and IS a comedic genius as well as a brilliant vocal performer! I would have sat in for Luis Avalos (or any of her male co-stars) for NOTHING to do a skit with her!

  • Oh god, how I miss those commercials. This really is a hilarious spoof.

  • It must have been on Season six.
