Catfish Hunter

[Richard K Kim]

With the tragic passing of Catfish Hunter, I have a question about a
reference about him in MST3K. In "The Blood Waters of Dr.Z", Servo
mentions Catfish Hunter, but Mike and Crow correct him by saying he is now
known as "Catfish Chapstick" Does anyone know what the hell that means?

There was a Chapstick commercial years ago where a skier named Suzzi Chaffey
(probably spelling that all wong!) claimed she loved chapstick so much, she
was changing her name to Suzzi Chapstick. Silly commercial. Silly joke.

Now I have a question. The name sounds familiar, but who exactly was Catfish
Hunter? No, I'm not kidding. I don't remember him. (And yet I remember that
stupid comercial. Jeeze!)

Thanks.

In a spin-off of the original "Suzi Chapstick" commercials, Catfish
Hunter made a similar commercial in about 1979 or 1980 that he was
changing his name to "Chapstick Hunter." Either the Brains forgot the
correct reference or they were trying to be funny (by convoluting the
reference). YOU MAKE THE CALL!

Wasn't there a (super?) model whose last name was "Hunter" (Kathy/Cathy Hunter
maybe?) And she was in a chapstick commercial where she was known
as "Cathy Chapstick". If anyone knows, please provide details. Those
Brains certainly have long memories for popular culture! :-)

No, I'm pretty sure that "Catfish Chapstick" was from the original commercial.
As I recall, Suzi Chaffey ("Call me Suzi Chapstick!") showed up at the end of
the spot and said "Hey Catfish! Can we call you Catfish Chapstick?"

Scary that I remember that...

There was a skiier named Suzy Chaffe who did commercials for chapstick
where someone would say 'Hey, you're Suzy Chaffee!' and she would say
'No, that's Suzy Chapstick!' (incidentally, she dated Ted Kennedy)

My guess this commercial was from around 80-81.
