List of Saturday Night Live commercials

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. Fast food, Beer, feminine hygiene products, toys, and automobiles have been frequent targets. On November 5, 2005, there was a clip show of several of these commercials, hosted by Will Ferrell.
