@ising4kings Well Captain Snarkypants, I can see it didn't occur to you that most anyone coming to this clip is more than likely to have seen it before, thus having it labeled as Shoecourt makes perfect sense in making it easily searched and located. I'll go back to masturbating and you can go back to DJing on your FisherPrice Record player.
@bobvillain this concept might be over your head....but, for one, SHOECOURT SHOE STORE IS THE PUNCHLINE, and two, maybe calling it "mr. show job interview", since there was only one that really matter and focused on this process. go back to masturbating, youre thinking too hard.
In all fairness all the good stuff in this sketch has nothing to do with the punchline. They acknowledge that with the overly cheesy reaction at the end. In comedy it's the journey, not the destination.
I worked for Kinney Shoes for many years until my husband became an Auditor. I miss it a lot because you could get nylons, handbags with matching shoes.
@1DNETTA No it doesn't. Actually, it says that it was filmed at the Westfield Culver City, formerly Westfield Fox Hills, formerly Fox Hills Mall. Just look up "Westfield Culver City" on WIKIPEDIA, then at the bottom click on the link that says "Kinney Commercial filmed here" or something and you'll click right over to this commercial. Not that I care or anything, and not that Wikipedia is very accurate, but they don't generally film television in NJ for starters...
Yah, that's Fox Hills Mall near LAX, long before they renovated it. There was a three story red structure - stone garden that can be seen in the background. It was a maze made up of glass partitions and mirrors that had to be navigated. There were also stairs between the floors and some benches.
I remember when my City's two prime regional shopping centers, directly located across the street from each other, both featured Kinney Shoes and several other national retailers in their tenant directories.
Loved Ken Berry from F-Troop and Mamma's Family, I used to love to shop and Kinney's shoes store at the Albee Square Mall in DownTown Brooklyn, New York. Thanks for the memories.
I always liked Ken Berry and he came from an age of acting when they worked hard at it. This comm is almost like a short musical. lol. He's a good dancer too and today's comm's are incredibly bland and annoying.
@uebergeek Musicland is also gone. Too much online competition. Not infrequently, you can buy a physical CD from Amazon for less than buying a legal digital download.
@Kuahmel Have a phone number that once belonged to Kinney Shoes. I have had it since 1994. Still get phone calls. Stupid Internet-based directory sites never purge their listings even after complaints.
@ising4kings I still found it as amusing as when I first saw it, so it doesn't ruin it for me at all.
TumugonBurahin@bobvillain either way. still ruins it.

TumugonBurahingo back to masturbating, youre thinking too hard.
@ising4kings How does making it easy to search for ruin it exactly????
TumugonBurahinBob Odenkirk saying "yes!" to angeldust at 1:03 is priceless
TumugonBurahinBob Odenkirk saying "yes!" to PCP at 1:03 is priceless

TumugonBurahinDoes anyone know if Cross or Odenkirk ever appeared on Reno 911? They both seem like they'd fit right in there.
TumugonBurahin@RedCloak01 I'm dead serious, sorry if I'm a retard
TumugonBurahin@dracomasta13 Are you kidding????!
TumugonBurahin@Jafo38506 ??? I don't see how the title ruined anything
TumugonBurahinII people work at shoe stores.
TumugonBurahin@2:37 Paul's world just shatters lmao.
TumugonBurahinThere were no punchlines in Mr. Show, you guys.
TumugonBurahinNot funny, I know what a shocker, somebody has an opinion not equal to the rest of the sheep.
TumugonBurahin@ising4kings I stumbled onto this, luckily I didn't read the title.
TumugonBurahinchange the title to 'it's crack. it gets you really high.'
TumugonBurahinChange the title to "Mr Show: Lie Detector"
TumugonBurahinChange the title to 'Mr Show: Lie Detector"
TumugonBurahin"It was for charity! "
TumugonBurahin"Space plans."

TumugonBurahinWasn't the actor in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Violet's dad?
TumugonBurahinI used to hang out at the Fox Hills Mall in 1975-77 and it looked just like it does in this commercial... brings back a lot of memories.
TumugonBurahin@NYKID10014 Why would you post that? Ken Berry isn't dead!!!
TumugonBurahinThanks, it looked like the Galleria in Sherman Oaks, but that mall may not be that old.

TumugonBurahin@pardyhardly I think you've been partying a bit much. that makes absolutely no sense darlin'.

TumugonBurahinSo funny that this shoe store commercial doesn't show any shoes.
