It's a great show essentially talking to advertising people about how advertising permeates culture. It's exactly the type of show that can't be produced on advertiser-supported television.
This is from a segment where they will have two competing advertising executives produce an ad to try and sell a ridiculous concept. In the case above, it was invading New Zealand. This one was to convince people child labour was a good thing.

Reply to comment by Fake_William_Shatner in TIL "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" is an example of an impossible task. The idiom dates at least to 1834, from the Workingman's Advocate: "It is conjectured that Mr. Murphee will now be enabled to hand himself over the Cumberland river or a barn yard fence by the straps of his boots. by meat-juice

I used to work in a mall. Somehow I've never experienced this phenomenon before.

Christopher Lloyd was only 47 when he played Dr. Emmet Brown at the age of 35 and 65. He wore no makeup.

He was a little bit red. He was of mixed race. Malcolm X mentions him in his autobiography; at the time, he called himself "Chicago Red".

LOL. I have a recurring dream where I'm lost in a mall. Somehow I'm always in the wrong "wing". Which never happened in real life, our mall had "the wing with the arcade" and the other one.
