Bass-o-matic

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This was a joke product used in a 1976 Saturday Night Live sketch (although the correct name was the "Super Bass-o-matic '76"). I was considering redirecting this to Saturday Night Live, but that was tried before and someone reverted it, but I don't think this is notable enough for its own article.

 * Sad delete Although it's a classic SNL commercial, there just isn't enough here to justify its own article. If other references were produced and used to lengthen the article, I'd be happy to reconsider (but very surprised).  --ElKevbo 20:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's funny, but it's not notable. Delete. YechielMan 15:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I wonder if, once deleted, it will only reappear again? It's sort of a cultural meme.  Personally, I'd like to see it remain (so I could send the link to someone, saying, "Here, THIS is what I'm talking about") but I don't feel that I know enough about Wikipedia policy to vote.  I did some searching and added a little further substance, and didn't come up with much.  The article is pretty much covered in  Dan Aykroyd anyway.  It'd be nice if we could get a copy of the clip in wikimedia, but it'll be copyrighted.  (Eventually to wind up in a museum?)  Abstain. thundt 20:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No real world context, fails WP:FICT. Jay32183 03:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete although at my house we still call the blender the bass-o-matic. But no potential for growth, simply too fine a level of detail for an article. Herostratus 04:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
