After seeing a million commercials about erections that one seems pretty tame.

I have to admit to pretty much loving that commercial...

Reminds me of a funny line from "Naked Gun"...

Detective Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), looking up at Priscilla Presley climbing up a ladder (wearing a skirt): "Nice beaver!"
Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley), picking up a stuffed beaver from the shelf: "Thanks, I just had it stuffed!"

...it's on my "top 10 funniest movie lines ever" list.

We just watched that movie, with our kids. I'd forgotten that some of it probably wasn't appropriate for them! Oh, well, they'll survive.

I'll bet most of it goes right over their heads. That's what I loved about "Enchanted" and the Shrek trilogy--half of the humor in the films was definitely aimed straight at the parents watching.

But the presence of O.J. Simpson has forever ruined it for me. Too bad, they were pretty funny movies...

I imagine my 9-year-old didn't get it, but I'm afraid the 13- and 15-year-olds did! Shocked

Ooh, this is true. I was about that age when those came out, IIRC. It's OK, if they get it it just means that they are sharp-witted and precocious. Big grin

I watched that commercial on Tv the other day (Australian TV) and I didn't really get it until it had passed. I laughed so hard, but I think it is really cute! if I had a daughter, I wouldn't mind her seeing it Smile
