This is from a super-8 called "Attack of the Pillsbury Dough Boy" (1976). It was directed by Scott and Sam. Pieces of that movie were also featured in "Six Months to Live" (1977), also directed by Sam and Scott.
I got this clip from "The Incredibly Strange Film Show"
Classic stuff! It's both hilarious and strangely unsettling at the same time (kinda like Sam and Scott's later stuff), and who knew the Pillsbury Doughboy sounded like Curly Howard?
Does anyone know if Scott Spiegel's "Attack of the Helping Hand!" (with a possessed Hamburger Helper mascot) is on the Internet? I'm curious to see that one, as I've heard it was the basis of the "possessed hand" scenes in Evil Dead II.
Apparently it's originally from "Attack of the Pillsbury Dough Boy" (1976) which was later included in Six Months to Live. From the Evil Dead Companion...
"Directed by Scott Spiegel. Sam [Raimi] eats breakfast, pouring curdled milk onto cereal. He sets his finger on fire in a microwave oven, and falls headfirst over a turkey. He summons up the Pillsbury Doughboy, from the commercials, and immediately attacks it, flattening it out, with jelly pouring out like blood."

I had it on my account until a few weeks ago when it was removed. I shall attempt to re-upload it, since you asked. If not, I can send it to ya.
