This Gibson ad appears from time-to-time as the P.O.D. and each time I see it I have to laugh at the graphic that illustrates how the console can be removed for maintenance.  I guess the point is how simple service can be, but to use an illustration with a housewife-ish looking woman makes me think this has the making of a classic SNL commercial/skit.

 

I can just see Jane Curtain removing the console and maybe putting it in the dishwasher, or moving it from the washing machine to the television.  Or to the car where it becomes the instrument panel.  Something along the lines of SNL's classic skit for 'Shimmer' - "it's a desert topping, no, it's a floor wax."

Funny you mention that, Lawrence, as that's the part of the ad that intrigues me the most, as well.

However, I think it's her wishing she could do the same with one of her children, who are on her last nerve, lol.

Also, did you notice how it has a knit cycle for her husband's polyester leisure suits?
