Stella D'oro Breakfast Treats!

OMG!  Finally found an online video of the Stella D'oro Breakfast treat commercial Patton Oswalt reminded us of in his bit over marriage angst.  It's lumped together with a bunch of other commercials from 1985, but it's the 4th one in.

Watch that, and consider Oswalt's take on the marketing company's pitch:

"We've done research that shows that these cookies appeal to people in their late 50's trapped in failed, hateful marriages..."

A full clip of his commentary at the link below, and definitely –hilariously– NSFW.

BONUS - Catch another wonderful blast from the 80's past with another Stella D'oro commercial that tries to class things up a bit.
