The premise

Here’s the bit.

In this mock commercial, a narrator warns that children up to age eight are worn out by the strain of play, while masseurs knead small backs, playground kids wince and on-screen graphics highlight their sore shoulders and calves. Even a baby gets a professional rubdown. The product's mascot, a red devil with a pitchfork and googly eyes, looms over the jar before a final caption cautions that the cream will harm adult muscles.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Eight years of life got you tense?

Crazy Devil penetrates layers of cute chub to kill pain where it starts.

Just look for the Crazy Devil with the googly eyes.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Wikipedia's episode rundown lists this as "Massage Cream Commercial" and TVmaze as "Kiddie Massage Cream". The episode's next sketch, Anders' Press Conference, opens with this ad playing on a screen behind a Satanist high priest.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
