Is Comfort and Joy a good representation of the real ice cream wars? I've always been fascinated by it for some reason. - @Thursday, July 26, 2012 8:49 PM

The look on Bill Paterson's face, watching this inexplicable assault on an ice cream truck - it's the definition of 'stupefied.' - @Tuesday, November 29, 2011 5:39 PM

"Give us a dedication at least then, for my mother. TOMORROW MORNIN'" Great scene. Classic movie. But could you please post the hilarious scene in the audio booth where Bill Patterson is trying to dub the commercial: "Thriftypops Thriftypops The bigbig bag a'munchies. They last the whole day"? - @Sunday, February 17, 2008 4:01 PM
