From 1985 comes this HBO Not Necessarily the News commercial parody. "Crazy Freddy's" He's slashing prices.....and children...at cut rate prices.
Its of note that by 1985, Freddy's Revenge would have been released on November 1st.
Not sure of the original airdate of this episode. But considering the timing of the parodying of Freddy...it was most likely in late November after the release of the 2nd movie.If I recall correctly, the show would have one new episode a month during its seasons.
Its fascinating to me that as early as 1985,only one sequel into the series, the Freddy phenomenon was already growing big enough that the character would be used in a full on comedy sketch and not just a verbal punchline.
I have a vague memory that they did a second,similar,Crazy Freddy commercial sometime after Dream Warriors .Once again portrayed by Mitchell Laurance .But I only remember seeing it once, as they never made it part of their best of or Year in Review episodes.
Uploaded this early one for your viewing pleasure.
