I really liked the style used for this segment. It was probably a parody of the Levi's 501 Blues commercials of the 1980s:

These ads don't have a voiceover, so what was Jim Thurman's interlude supposed to represent?

And look what else surfaced: http://mog.com/music/Roscoe_Chenier/Roscoe_Style/5:19_Blues_(Please_Be_on_That_5:19)

So we know that the Moon Unit and Dweezil ads were spoofing Clavin Klein, and the Math Makes it Work ads parodied Wang computers, but what was spoofed by the other filmed commercial segments.
