eROI Days Email Agency

After the last week of blog posts looking forward into 2009, I thought it would be relevant for the first blog post of 2009 to be about the Best of ’08. The key to email marketing is personalization and ultra-relevance. This email was to my parents, sisters, and brother-in-laws about a funny video on Saturday Night Live called “Jizz in My Pants.” My Mom’s response was so funny I had to forward it to all eROI employees. If you know my Mom, it’s even funnier.

Saturday Night Live at its finest – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4.

This is one of the most passed around video in the past couple weeks.

Cheers,

And my Mom’s response…

I never thought I’d have ‘thank you Palin’ in the title of anything I’d ever write, but I’ve done it. She and Tina Fey have made Saturday Night Live so unbelievably relevant and funny again. SNL absolutely nailed this skit last night – Baldwin said exactly what most guys (at least my guy friends) are thinking and to make this blog post relevant to online marketing, I must tell you that I don’t watch any of this stuff on TV anymore – I race to my computer on a Sunday morning and laugh my head off watching it on Saturday Night Live’s website.

Chris Masagatani, you were on the SNL set last week, what’s your take on all the new buzz around Saturday Night Live. Please comment below.

Everyone else – tell me – are you watching SNL skits on their site or YouTube on Sunday or during the workweek, or is this blog post the first time you’ve seen its online video? Comment.

I got an email from my sister with a link to this SNL skit w/ Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin and another SNL actress playing Clinton. I thought it was worth blogging because Saturday Night Live was the source of so much of my sister and my shared humor Middle School through High School – Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Mike Myers – now, that I have 2 kids, I’m in bed by 10:30pm most nights, and I’m now consuming this hilarious content on YouTube and NBC’s site (this is the first time I’ve ever used an NBC widget below – let’s hope it’s as functional as YouTube). BTW – I just Googled “FLIRG” and it’s pretty damn funny. Watch the video.

Check out the video clip if you aren’t one of the 10 million views across the hundreds of copies of the video clip online. Couldn’t get the NBC video widget to work on the blog, so I had to revert to faithful YouTube below.
