Favorite narrator instructions from A Date With Your Family:
"The boys greet their Dad as though they are genuinely glad to see him."
"Tell mother how good the food is. Maybe sis rates a compliment too. It makes them want to continue pleasing you."

This one and the General Hospital ones, especially the second one ("I'm gonna go to the morgue and cheer up") are my 2 other faves along with Cheating,

Was "Mother" there actress Faye Bainter? If yes, where are Mickey and Judy--and did she end up financing their Broadway musical herself for the kids dying to go to the country this summer for two months!??

So many delightful choices. I'm torn between OP, that bizarre romp from the National Spring Board, and the curiously gendered Mr. B. Natural.
The boys from MST3K always put a better spin on a meh sorta day.
