The State on MTV | TheaterFire

The Fluffy Soft commercial. The lady is talking about the product, ironing, and then a stuffed bear comes up and starts talking, and she SCREEEEAMMS and kills it with the iron.

I loved the State. Ended up getting the DVD box set one Christmas - one of the best gifts ever.

[-]

fuzzyedges1974@reddit

Pretty sure you can still get it. The only thing that sucks is any skits that had licensed music in them are muted.

[-]

Me too - somewhere. Good thing I ripped them & saved them digitally. It’s awesome how I can trace so many of my favorite comedic actors back to that show. The State and Mr. Show seemed to launch all my favorite funny people.

I’m sure everybody already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t, those folks pretty much all went on to make a ton more great comedy. Reno 911!, Wet Hot American Summer, Children’s Hospital, Role Models, Wanderlust, and They Came Together were all made by members of The State.

There was another by a similar group, I think "You wrote it, we act it," about people's weird life stories and the comics went all out "off the rails." The one I recall was about skeet shooting, but the comics made it like Skeet was a person, and hijacked the story like "The World's Most Dangerous Game" for rednecks. Just some guy with a target on his shirt yelling "SKEET, SKEET" in the woods while people hunted him.

Another was "COD: Comics on Delivery," where they sent comics to solve your personal problems, often to great hilarity. One I recall was the person's sister was "so passive, she will take anything you hand to her," and so when the comics were interviewing her, they just handed random shit to her until she was overwhelmed with objects she had no room for. Without her knowing what was going on.
