I will NEVER forget seeing the Groove Tube in the theater when it first came out. My ribs hurt from laughing so hard. The whole audience was crying with laughter. The "Good things come from Uranis" commercials were pure genius.
Stick the olive into the pitted cherry. Then insert the pit back into the olive. 😭😭 whats hysterical about this is the announcer is following the baker. Then takes over and the baker is trying to Catch up! ROTF😭😭😭
I too loved this scene in the movie. I remember laughing hysterically at the scene the first time I saw it in the theater. For those younger viewers, the Kraft ads in the late 60s walked you through recipes with the same approach, so the Groove Tube scene is as much a parody of those ads. Most typically Kraft was trying to sell its Miracle Whip salad dressing and creating recipes using it. Hence the Kramp Easy Lube. I'm in tears every time I watch this. Just brilliant indeed!
I've recorded this movie on the cable here in France 10 years ago and took the videotape to all of my friends... it is now very worn:( but I think it is the funniest sketch I've seen in my whole life! along with Koko the clown
First time I saw this in the early 1980s, I absolutely couldn’t stop laughing, we had to pause the tape, because we were laugh crying so damn hard! And it’s still hilarious, to this very day!
This has been a family favorite since the 70's. I just love the Kramp Dairy Foam Substitute. I look forward to the 4th just for the Heritage Loaf. Happy Independence Day USA!!!!
Wish I could see the PSA clip from the original 1960’s Groove Tube, on the dangers of using LSD featuring an old Steve Reeves type guy battling a giant sea serpent. Haven’t seen it since.
This is how I feel when I'm at work. Management wants us to do unnecessary, pointless work, double or triple the work we should be doing to get to the finished product.
The actor...hands...was Chevy Chase. Yup. Watch it again knowing that and remember this was made the same time he was staring in the first season of Saturday Night Live. His comic style is obvious
You would never do this to cook something! OMG! Waste of silly steps! Like peeling the apple, to attach the peel, to discard it later? LOL I don't thik you'd even be able to eat the finished product LOL
That soothing, sensible voice sounds like that of Anthony (Norman) Perkins. I also tried this, but had to keep pausing the video, as the directions are hard to keep up with.
My oldest brother is 10 yrs older than me.He always used to take myself and my other brother to high brow art films such @ Citizen Kane, etc. @ the local univrsts in my small E. Pa. hometown.One day,in the summer of '74, don't ask me how but he got us in to see The Groove Tube, I being all of 10 yrs. old. The film was great but it was THIS Kraft parody alone that stood out @ the 1 I laughed @ the most.The audience as well as ourselves were in hysterics,it was so funny @ the time,& still is
I have never seen this one before..I can't believe how funny this is. LOL LOL LOL I agree with you Arielstorm, Julia Child with a sense of humor :-) Mrs. L.
Anyone above a certain age will remember that, in the '50's and early '60's, daytime TV was filled with these kind of demo-commercials from the "Kraft Family Kitchens..." I seem to recall it happened a lot on "Art Linkletter's houseparty." Incredibly involved recipes that usually involved Velveeta or CheezWiz or Kraft Caramels, with the voice of Ed Herlihy seeming to have a near-climactic experience as he narrated the instructions. This is an (only slight) exaggeration.
