Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Thirty Helens agree... You can't pay too much for a good pair of shoes!

Sensible shoes make sense.

My God, your feet are what you walk on!

The premise

Here’s the bit.

An announcer introduces thirty women, all named Helen, standing together in a bare field, and they declare as one that good shoes are worth any price. As the group nods and holds up pairs of shoes, three of the Helens offer earnest testimonials about comfort and common sense before the announcer repeats their shared conclusion.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

This was one of three Thirty Helens Agree segments in the episode, alongside 'Love Hurts' and 'Honesty'; the Helens returned in several more first-season episodes.
