> I’m old enough to remember the Sally Struthers ads…

I’m old enough to remember when South Park took the piss out of Sally Struthers.

I have no idea who Sally Struthers is and I’ve never seen any of the adverts.



She was fairly big, in the 1970s (I’m old). She played Archie Bunker’s daughter, in All in the Family.

Famous for her “whining” ads: https://youtu.be/bGTEKWRLJuQ

In some of them, she would be walking around in a destitute village, looking disgusted. Terrible ads.


I’m old enough, just not from the US.

> She was fairly big

According to South Park, that’s true. With her ending up looking like Jabba the Hut in a later episode!
