Ken's been having a lot of funny driving around with a dummy in the back of his 
car, and it reminded me of an old commercial (early 1990s) featuring Barney 
Fife (yes, Barney Fife) and the crash-test dummies.  Anybody remember this 
commercial?  It incorporated footage from the episode Lawman Barney, the one 
where Barney has trouble with the farmers operating an illegal roadside 
vegetable stand, cleverly edited with newly shot black and white footage of the 
crash-test dummies in their car.  Side note: one of the dummies was voiced by 
Jack Burns (Mayberry's Warren Ferguson), the other was Lorenzo Music (Rhoda's 
Carlton the Doorman, and later Garfield the cat).

Here's a link to the commercial:

I also found another one which I hadn't seen before. Just do a youtube search 
for "Barney Fife Crash Test" and you'll find it.
