Target Lady

Am I the only one who has imagined a PJ Saturday Night Live guest spot (when they are the musical guest of course) in a Target Lady skit? Picture it:


(Band walks up to register where Target Lady recognizes them as being in a Target commercial)

Target Lady: Oh my goodness! You boys sure do look like those fellows in the new Target commercial!

Ed: (sheepishly) Um, yeah, actually that IS us in the commercial.

Target Lady: Well I'll be! Who are ya then?

Stone: We're Pearl Jam ma'am.

Target Lady: Holy sassafras! Well I betcha we have your cassette tape in the store! What's it called?

Mike: It's called Backspacer and there's CDs in the music departme.......

(Target Lady rushes to find CD and leaves band standing alone at register, confusedly looking at each other)

..............

Take this where you will, thought it might be a fun exercise in creativity..... :lol:

    oh jeez... imagine the backlash from that... :?

    not a big fan of that skit in general... i would rank it amongst their worst reoccurring characters ever

    nice thought though :)

    What you should have explained in your original post is that there's a recurring skit on SNL that takes place in a Target with a "Target Lady" (or employee who happens to be female) ... I don't think anyone who doesn't get the reference is understanding what you're talking about... hence the crickets.

    The Digital Shorts are usually pretty good. Tina Fey helped a lot this year and they had some decent hosts who saved a sketch or two. I'll TiVo it when the musical guest is good, but most of the sketches need to be fast forwarded thru.

    It will never be as good as it was again. Peaked in the early to mid-nineties (as far as my lifetime is concerned).

    It's actually the best it's been since the Farley, Sandler, Spade and Rock days.

    You're probably referring to Palin, but I think it was a 30 Rock reference. Tracy rocks...

    I was going to say ... this season was actually pretty funny. All the election stuff, starting with the primaries, was great. The Digital Shorts were consistently good. Good mix of hosts. Justin Timberlake, whose music is terrible, continues to assert himself as one of the all-time great hosts. That episode he was on was stellar pretty much from start to finish.

    I'm not ready to say SNL is "back" ... but it certainly appears to be on its way.

    Of course, none of this is due to the god-awful Target Lady ;)

    You're still young. SNL was at it's BEST in the 70's with the original cast. Will Farrell was awesome on that show, too - although his movies suck(IMO). However - I think that the funniest one recently I've personally seen (which no one cares but will post ths anyway) is when Neal Patrick Harris (is that his name..."Doogie Howser") was the host. FUNNY! :D
