They speared all the cliches of local ads, which made you a co-conspirator in their subversion. Nobody had really done anything so frenetic and lightning-quick and in such volume. They threw away more than most teevee ads showed, so they were endlessly engaging. You wanted to see them again to see what you'd missed. More than one of them left me choking with laughter. Shadoe Stevens was like Phil Hartman or Jim Varney/Ernest P Worrell--you lost track of the actor in the character. And it seemed like there was nothing he wouldn't do for the laughs.
