"Cracklin' Oat Flakes" is a spoof
commercial that first aired on
Saturday Night Live on November 11, 2000. You really would have to see the actual commercial for you to
laugh until you cry, but the lyrics were pretty hard to follow over all of the "
freaking out",
loud music, and
strobe lights, so, here you go.

Aired on Show: "Saturday Night Live"
Original Air Date: November 11, 2000

Feeling your best is the only way!
(Cereal Lover enters kitchen.)
Cereal Lover: Good morning, dear.
Wife: Good morning.
(Cereal Lover walks to table and sits down. Picks up a box labeled "Cracklin' Oat Flakes". He shakes the box over an empty bowl. To his disappointment, the box is empty.)
Cereal Lover: Honey? We're all out of Cracklin' Oat flakes.
Wife: How about new Cracklin' Oat Flakes? Now with Ecstasy.
Cerial Lover: Ooooh!
(Cereal Lover pours a bowl and begins to eat. Psychedelic music begins to play and strobe lights flash. Cereal Lover is "transported" to a ecstacy fantasy world where he participates in many odd acts, such as attempting to, um, lick his boss and be in bed with his wife and a snake.
