All I keep thinking of is Mr. and Mrs. Larry "Bud" Melman.

Are these real? They seem like a viral thing.

Either way, they are certainly hilarious.

They should team up with Montgomery Flea Market. It would create an unstoppable force.

A co-worker and I watched this, and almost died laughing over Sharon's near-monotone delivery. "Let's make a video for your mom and family..." Please, Sharon - don't sound so excited, there.

"I think it's viral."

I wondered about that myself. But I used to watch some really awful local commercials in the early 60's. As now car dealers and furniture stores using themselves as icons for their commercials. Theres a car dealer in Richmond, VA. known as $300 down man and his pitbull Mack Mack. You know a "buy here - pay here car lot. He wears a yellow rubber super hero outfit. It looks put together with a low end video camera and editing program. Not near as bad but really awful for sure.

This is the funniest ad yet, better than Norton Furniture or Mo' Money Taxes! This honestly looks like an SNL skit, or with those Canadian accents, a Kids in the Hall skit.

This is actually more post modern than is acceptable. I have seen the future...and it is Fred and Sharon.

By the way, if you're interested, a quick Google confirms that the (250) area code belongs to none other than...Vancouver, B.C.

Yes, folks. Fred and Sharon are smoking that potent Vancouver pot.

That Sharon's quite a looker when she dolls herself all up like that. I'll bet Fred nailed her good right there in their studio.

Who am I kidding... there's no studio. Its just their spare room...

"Fred ... our anniversary is coming up ... let's make a movie so you can send it to your mother and fam'ly ..." *PLOP* (dies of boredom)

Definitely the highlight of my day, right there.

@Ciao_Bambina: It's possible their $5/month hosting plan just nuked from all the traffic. I think this has been going 'round the Intarnets as of late.

I feel my life was improved by the enjoyment I received watching the toy Loch Ness monster superimposed menacingly in the lake. Truth in advertising....
