1. Many, many thanks for this wonderful blast from the past. I

have been watching SNL since the 70s and love the original cast like my own family.

2. Same here!

Do you remember the commercial with Gilda and Laraine discussing dog treats (puppy uppers and doggie downers)? I think my favorite is Aykroyd doing a commercial for the Bass-O-Matic.

4. Yes, I remember puppy uppers and doggie downers as well as the Bass-o-matic.

I need to go to youtube and revisit some of those old favorites.

15. Meat Wagon slot car commercial

Had my mom going, "like how could they make something like this for kids!!!" She then looked at me and blurted out.. of course you want this for Christmas.

I was a kid and new it was fake...

17. Remember the Triple Trac commercial?

It debuted on the very first episode. The Triple Trac was a razor with three blades, meant to mock the new trend of razors with two blades. At the end, the announcer said “The Triple Trac...because you’ll buy anything.” And we all laughed, because we understood what a dumb idea it was to put three blades on a razor. Now we have razors with five blades, proving that we will, indeed, buy anything.

3. "Look for the Union Label" song

It was a catchy tune, totally absent on TV today.

5. I love this!

I was working nights when this cast was on and unfortunately, we didn't have DVRs back then.
Thanks for posting.

6. When I go to my dispensary this week

I'm going to ask them if they belong to this Union. Since they are all pretty young I expect they will not know what I am talking about.

7. I would if I could!

Nothing but CBD legal here. It's so frustrating. I tried to grow a couple of plants this summer and they are both males. Ugh. I almost cried.

8. The total tax in San Diego is 31% OUCH!!!!!!!

I wish I still knew where I could get some from a street dealer...no tax.

[LittleGirl]

9. Yeah, it's much more

expensive now. I got the seeds in SF last January and paid 130 bucks for 10 seeds. Only these two of the 8 I've tried to grow actually grew something.
It's frustrating.

I remember getting a bag back in the 70s for 30 bucks. Now you pay about 200 for the same amount.
But the strains are much stronger now than the ditch weed from back then. ha.

10. With these taxes going to the states

you would think that more states would want to legalize it to profit and to help weakened state budgets.

[LittleGirl]

12. Right?

They need to just legalize it. I had a medical card in AZ. I’ve moved since then.

11. Here's the real ad

[RamblingRose]

13. Is that Al Franken in the back with the glasses?

I wonder if he wrote it.

[BigmanPigman]

16. I noticed him too.

14. im glad im in legal land...
