Crazy Credits

At one point Billy Crystal's father-in-law moves in with them and drives
him crazy by singing the Toyota slogan, "You asked for it...you got it" but
he does it just like the commercial.
At the end of the credits the father-in-law is reading the paper at the
table while Billy Crystal is having breakfast. The father in law starts
the slogan but waits about half a minute before finally finishing the line. See more »
