This is one of the great TV ads of all time: Alec Baldwin pitching for Hulu.
I was watching a snippet of the Simpsons recently when I hear the name of my former university... used to threaten Lenny and Carl... in the 80's.
From CMU's news blog:
Carnegie Mellon’s reputation as an academically demanding university became a punchline on Sunday’s episode of “The Simpsons,” the first high-definition episode of the famous cartoon family. The Carnegie Mellon mention begins 6 minutes, 40 seconds into the episode.
In the episode, Homer travels back in time to his high school days to consider what his life would have been like if he had been elected senior class president. To head off that possibility, however, Principal Dondelinger asks “teenage” Lenny and Carl to bury a box of ballots.
In exchange for this devious act, Lenny and Carl ask for a bad recommendation so they don't have to go to college and they can stay in high school and party. "OK,” Dondelinger responded, “but if you screw this up, it’s Carnegie Mellon University for the both of you!"
