Cast-list
[edit]The article should include the 3 people who appear in the ad. I recognize Mike Myers and Dana Carvey but not the woman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.244.46 (talk • contribs)

- Actually it was Jan Hooks. Gasteyer didn't join SNL until several years after this.---Jackel 19:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Removed link
[edit]Removed the following link
because the destination page now reads, "This video has been removed by the user," presumably due to intellectual property issues. I'm posting it here in case it is later revived. Lawikitejana 09:07, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Here is a new one... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.175.128.1 (talk) 20:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Remove this article?
[edit]Is this really an appropriate article? It was just a sketch on SNL. Rubbrbndmn (talk) 20:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep One of 15 balls in the "Fictional Balls" Category, it had a lasting effect, and today, an entire international social movement, SuperHappyDevHouse, has a name that pays homage to this satire. Pepso2 (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Articles like this are the glory of Wikipedia. --Tbanderson (talk) 23:08, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
References in popular culture
[edit]Removed reference: Mozy's EULA includes the phrase, "DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN BALL."
There is no citation for this item and a review of Mozy's EULA on their website does not contain the phrase as stated.--Lusluckylad (talk) 01:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Anyone know if this veteran producer of SNL commercial parodies produced/directed this one?(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 16:56, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
proper procedure
[edit]If you wish to delete a longstanding article many people have worked on, file an AfD. Simple as that. μηδείς (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- I've added some text sources. The episodes themselves, airdates given, serve as primary sources for a simple description of the material that does not require synthesis or analysis--i.e., quoting the material, etc. μηδείς (talk) 03:53, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- WP:HARDWORK and WP:LONGTIME notwithstanding, there were zero sources at the time I redirected it (and frankly, I like that commercial). But the article is in better shape now, so we can move on. 04:53, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
