Ad Watch: The Peyton Manning Meatloaf Mercedes 550

Our sports-obsessed site was all atwitter about Peyton Manning hosting SNL this past weekend. We, on the other hand, as usual, were rather unimpressed with the show and spent the majority of the time fast-forwarding through our DVR-ed copy of the episode. But we did happen upon one clip that made us wish the more-precise side of the German-American hybrid were making cars for the hard-workin' blue-collar 'merican man. Specifically, we wish they made something like Manning's Mercedes 550 Meatloaf edition — a luxe car that includes meat, brown gravy and an in-dash convection oven. Although we do have to say the inclusion of the in-seat toilets may have been a wee bit much. – Ray Wert

I didn't realize the current writers of SNL were such big fans of Tim Allen and Home Improvement.

This clip could not have been from SNL. This car was not around in 1978, the last time SNL did something funny.
