Described as a "classic that can sit right up there with [[Dan Aykroyd]]'s Bass-o-Matic",<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=SaLA2b5A0ZcC&pg=92 ''The Totally Sweet 90s: From Clear Cola to Furby, and Grunge to "Whatever", the Toys, Tastes, and Trends That Defined a Decade''], Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, Brian Bellmont. Penguin, Jun 4, 2013</ref> The topic of the sketch is a toy rubber ball, the advertisement for which is accompanied by a long series of bizarre disclaimers and increasingly ominous warnings, including "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball." It was brought back for several "Best of Saturday Night Live" specials.
