Back when this first aired I often taped SNL to watch later.. so I had this on VHS..and about that time I needed to replace the one toilet in our little house and I actually used this skit as instructions.. just like watching a YouTube tutorial but 30 years ago. My install was successful (but for several years of flushes). Thanks SNL!

I remember seeing this as a kid and the absurdity of it made me laugh my ass off.

This was the original subscription revenue based product.

This is like a precursor to cinco products

we had renovations going on in our bathroom last summer, i detached and reattached the toilet boil within 5 minutes.

That's a lot of work to reinstall and install a toilet

[Davepool-hsvr]

So any toilet can be a Darnette toilet

[brottarnacke]

Damn, I feel like smashing a toilet with a sledge hammer now...

[duckface]

pretty interesting actually, i was always wondering how those things attached to the floor

Parodies the wastefulness of people. You have to buy a new $170 toilet that’s good for only one flush. Oh and you have to rent the dumpster too.

This is when life was funny, and we had a sense of humor.

[itiswhatitaintanditaintwha]

Why didn't anybody think of this before?

[JohnSmith-tdhd]

The sad part is that we're actually doing this, just with smaller pieces of trash.

Correct instructions, but I wouldn’t replace a toilet after using it just once. It would be expensive and wasteful. It’s a humorous commercial however.
