"a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor based on a Saturday Night Live skit that pokes fun at NPR....in case you don't get the reference, the skit is a hilarious commentary on NPR's, um, uniquely soothing sound. [Alec] Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy, a guest on a fake NPR show called Delicious Dish. Pete makes holiday treats like cheese balls, popcorn balls, rum balls and his famous Schweddy balls. The skit is an exercise in double entendres."

I'm not a prude. There are hundreds of double entendres a week on FR, many of the make me LOL.
But this is from the same elite crowd that professed shock, bewilderment and denial that the cartoon they ran teaching people how to speak "Tea Bag" was a vulgar gay slur. Give me a break NPR. Hilarious indeed.
No thanks.
I remember that skit. Mildly funny for a minute, but they dragged it out for five. Come to think of it, that pretty much sums up a lot of SNL skits.
I saw the actual skit the first time it happened on SNL ...
and it WAS hilarious. It wasn’t political...it was adult...it was rude and it got funnier and funnier....
I was one of the people who saw the skit the first time and it LEFT ME IN tears because it was just sooooo funny.
The ice cream thing is late and lame. Why not just introduce “Vanilla Ice”?
I remember seeing it live also. It was funny enough that I recall breaking up at the time. Of course, since Alec Baldwin decided to become a political hack, it has lost a lot of it’s humor.
Why not just introduce “Vanilla Ice”?
Agreed. Too late for the ice cream to be funny; but it’ll sell. For the uninitiated:

It really is flippin’ funny - because NPR is SUCH a joke to begin with, LOL!
Good times...
The skit was lame, this is lame, liberals are...
Ice cream is something that appeals especially to kids.
Schweddy Balls could be funny and appropriate as a cocktail recipe.
But marketing sexual double entendres to kids is just repulsive.
The culture is so debased that they are running out of lines to cross.
That’s the thing. We agree we hate Alec Baldwin for the hackism...
...but when this first aired, it was just such a perfect PARODY of NPR complete with all the carts in the background that anyone who ever has been in a radio booth had to cry with laughter.
It was MASTERFUL comedy.
I remember a male hygiene spray called “Baseline” it claimed to end foul balls
I’ll take their word for it.
I would try that.
I wonder what Dusty Muffin ice cream would taste like.
This is the same crowd that had fits of appoplexy over the mention of a pubic hair on a Coke can. I don’t think there ever WAS a pubic hair on a Coke can; nor do I believe their lies that Clarence Thomas loved to regale his fellow workers with tales about Long Dong Silver videos!
I just think the left is so perverted and filthy-minded that they’ll take ANY situation that gives them an opening in which to “advertise” what’s in their hearts. And that includes making up filthy stories (and TV scripts) out of whole cloth!
The Word says that “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” So in his Labor Day diatribe about SOBs, Jim Hoffa advertised for all the world to see, exactly what is in his heart.
OK, so Schweddy Balls can be a great dessert, but for the best SNL main course, it’s tough to beat Dan Akyroyd’s Bass-O-Matic. Copy and paste this link: http://www.myspace.com/video/saturday-night-live/bassomatic/33695570
Crass of Ben and Jerry. I suppose they’re next concoction will be Dingleberries and Cream or Peanut Butter Pounder.
Actually if you research it older adults consume the most ice cream
Well then I’ve got some new flavors they can market to their fans:
The “Hairy Pr_ck”: It would be an image of Ben created in various flavors of ice cream surrounded by chocolate shavings made to resemble hair.
The “Flaming A$$hole”: Jerry’s image in ice cream similarly created, which is then doused with high proof rum and lit on fire.
