Saturday Night Live commercial

The Television & Movie Wiki: for TV, celebrities, and movies.

The Saturday Night Live commercial is usually a spoof of a real commercial found on television at that time, and is commonly shown after the host's opening monologue. The gag generally replaces the product for sale with something fantastical (or just plain destructive), or alters the characters involved to provide comedy. On November 5, 2005, there was a clip show of several of these commercials, hosted by Will Ferrell.

List of popular commercials:
