In particular, the short spoofs the then prevalent use of jingles, announcers, and images of housewives or children to sell products which often bore frankly absurd names. The short also experiments with montage, stop-motion animation, and rapid-fire editing, all of which could also be seen in Time Piece. The increasingly insane advertising approaches and the use of pop-art elements is particularly reminiscent of the second Wilson's Meats meeting film. The humor relies heavily on visual puns.

As was common to Henson's short films (Time Piece, the various meeting films, Ripples, etc.), the on-camera cast is made up of Henson's family and friends, including his wife and three of his children (Lisa, Cheryl and Brian), as well as performer Frank Oz and Muppet writer Jerry Juhl. Both Juhl and Henson are heard as voice-over announcers.
