Spatula City - Neatorama

In our recent post about the Plier Store, Neatorama reader Pudifoot mentioned Spatula City, a famous skit from "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF. Since I actually have a friend who sells spatulas (lots of it - he's a spatula salesman), I had to find the the clip:

This one's for you, Joe! Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] - Thanks Pudifoot!

A spatula salesman? Okay, so he markets to retailers right? Cause at first I pictured a guy going door-to-door with a case of spatulas.

Joe the Spatula Salesman. That one should have been thrown around during the campaign instead.

I remember reading that when they were making this movie, they rented a billboard for this commercial. They only rented it for a month (or whatever the shortest amount of time they could get it for), but it ended staying up for about a year. Apparently several people were confused, because it says "Next exit", but no store was to be found.

One of the greatest comedies of all time. I love this movie.

I'm personally a huge fan of CONAN THE LIBRARIAN.

My favorite part is the jingle.
"At spatula city, we sell spatulas.... and that's all!"

I've always thought the word spatula should be a synonym for spittle.

A couple friends of mine started a house music record label called "Spatula City Records" in Chicago. It's good stuff.
