Ask For Babs

Have you ever wondered what the little promo bit at the end of some Universal Studios films during the 70's and 80's is?

During the 70's and 80's Universal studios films used to have a promo that appeared after the end credits that said.."When In Hollywood, visit Universal Studios...ask for Babs."

This particular bit appeared after the end credits of their films during the 1970's and 80's - the first of which being Animal House which has a character named Babs (one of the female co-eds that Belushi's character spies on and a member of the Omega House) who according to the Where Are They Now segment became a tour guide at Universal - which is the origin the "Ask For Babs" part of the "When In Hollywood, visit Universal Studios -" bit.

The "When In Hollywood, Visit Universal Studios - Ask For Babs" Promo bit also appeared after the end credits of other Universal studios films in the 1980's as well such as American Werewolf In London, Trading Places, The Blues Brothers, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck (both starring the late John Candy).
