The Salad Mixxxer

No where near the best of the (in)famous late late late night adult swim "infomercials", 'The Salad Mixxxer' is a somewhat presictable one note joke of a comedy short that still works rather well as a whole thanks to a few helpful factors. The dialogue is consistently humorous and strange, as it is in many adult swim shorts (and series), and many of the performances are hilarious. The entire skit successfully parodies and mocks the culture of the 1950's and, more specifically, its classy and classic means of advertisement as well as its less than satisfactory treatment of women in a way that I kind of have seen before, but is still really funny none the less.

Absolutely hilarious...so well done! Funny from start to finish.

It's basically the same joke over and over. It could have been 90 seconds.

On the surface, the joke is not bad at all... but the novelty wears out quickly, when you take a joke fit for a quick gag and stretch it out to an 11 minute sketch.

Basically, the character of Dip Dunham is an extremely innocent man who only see a revolutionary kitchen device when the rest of the world sees... um... something else. It does a good job of parodying the repressed and censored infomercials from the 1960s; it just added to Dip's blissful ignorance, whereas when we switch to modern times it becomes too obviously which direction this is gonna go (especially when hiring porn stars... what, I only know this through IMDb, lol).

In general, a solid joke in itself that just should have ended sooner.
