TRUE STORY: My dad invented a few of his own "sniglets" and sent them to HBO back in the mid 80s. I don't recall him getting any kind of response.

Funny stuff. I totally don't get the joke at 6:30 though. Maybe it's the quality of the video and I'm missing something?

Old_Zircon - 2014-12-02 My gut reaction is always to assume that at least some of the people involved in making a sequence like that intend the homoeroticism, but the people from the network probably don't have any idea.

EvilHomer - 2014-12-02 In 1982, it might have slipped under the network suits' radar, but that skit is CLEARLY an allegory for a failing marriage between a closeted homosexual man and a increasingly desperate heterosexual woman.

Who the hell is Clark Gable?

Old_Zircon - 2014-12-02 Just swap in Robert Goulet and you'll understand.

EvilHomer - 2014-12-02 The only guy with a mustache that I know of is Burt Reynolds, that dude from Saints Row the Third.

EvilHomer - 2014-12-02 Oh, is Robert Goulet the guy from that movie? Gone With the Wind? He did have a mustache, now that I think about it.

Martinizing Dry Cleaning is a dry cleaning franchise founded in 1949. Martin Franchises, Inc., the parent company, is the largest dry cleaning franchise in the United States, with over 450 franchised stores worldwide. The family-owned company is based in Loveland, Ohio. The concept of One Hour Martinizing was pioneered by a New York chemist named Henry Martin in 1949. At the time, dry cleaning was done with flammable solvents, so the plants were located remotely from the storefronts. A customer would drop off their cleaning "in town", the garments would travel to the production facility to be cleaned and pressed, then they would return to the store several days later for pickup. By using a non-flammable solvent, the use of which was discovered by Martin, dry cleaning plants could now be located much more conveniently, and the process could be carried out in a much more timely manner. The use of this non-flammable solvent was adopted throughout the industry and revolutionized the business in that facilities could better serve their customers and provide much faster turn-around on the orders, if need be. Operationally this has been termed "on-site cleaning" (as opposed to the "remote" cleaning of the past).

I did not know Not Necessarily the News was Stuart Pankin-less at any point. He apparently joined the year after this clip. Him and Rich Hall were the faces of this show in my memory.

Time to play "Write a Question and then check Wikipedia":
Is this an authorized American version of NOT THE NINE O'CLOCK NEWS from BBC?
Checks Wikipedia:
Yes.
