•
C.E.O Dreamboats — a magazine with famous businessmen as objects of desire for teenyboppers. •
Calgon laundry detergent — A
May 2000 parody of Calgon's long-running ad set in a Chinese laundry ("Ancient Chinese secret, huh?"). Here, however, shopkeeper Mr. Ling (episode host
Jackie Chan), upon hearing his wife (
Maya Rudolph) state, "We need more Calgon!" uses martial arts tactics to make sure overhearing customer
Chris Parnell keeps the "secret" a secret. •
Calvin Klein Cream Pies — in a parody of
Andie MacDowell-starred
Calvin Klein Jeans commercials,
Julia Louis-Dreyfus portrays MacDowell as an annoying model who gets hit in the face with a custard pie after one of her shallow, rambling stories. • Calvin Klein Industrial Strength Jeans – A plus-sized
Elizabeth Taylor (episode host
Joan Rivers) models CK Jeans, rambles on about her movie career, and snacks on some nearby food in this
Season 8 parody. • Calvin Klein Underwear — CK spokesperson
Justin Bieber (
Kate McKinnon) appears in a trio of 2015 ads; though Justin says, "I'm a big boy now", he behaves immaturely, poses and preens for the camera, and leaves fellow model
Lara Stone (
Cecily Strong) unimpressed. • Camel Tame — When placed "between your clothes and your business," this insert helps prevent the unsightly showing of a woman's
camel toe… but resembles a male bulge as a result. • Canis Cologne for Dogs — A parody of
Calvin Klein's fragrances and accompanying sensual ads, here featuring a dog getting out of a courtyard pool and kissing (and humping the leg of) a shirtless male model. • Caracci's Pizza — This 1992 ad states that if a pizza is unsanitary in any way, "you get half off-a da pizza!", according to
Robert Smigel's Italian chef character. •
Caribbean Essence Bath Oil — foaming, scented bath enhancer that causes a
West Indian man (
Tracy Morgan) to pop up during the bath and carry his bathers across a beach. •
Carl Weathers for Governor — Following in the footsteps of his
Predator co-stars
Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Carl Weathers promotes himself to be the next governor in any state that will take him. •
The Chad & Mrs. Douglas Show Holiday DVD — Chad and Victoria Douglas (
Taran Killam and
Vanessa Bayer) promote a
Time Life DVD collection of Christmas musical performances from their 1970s TV variety series, which feature guests who were clearly imbibing on drug & drink vices of the era. • Carter 'N Sons BBQ — A commercial for a barbecue pork restaurant produced in 2002 but airing in 2009, augmented with disclaimers stating that the restaurant's "Swine Fever" marketing tagline is in no way connected to the then-recent
swine flu (H1N1 virus)
pandemic, nor is their
Sausage
And
Ribs
Sampler related in any way to
SARS. •
Cartier Fidget Spinner — A 14-carat-gold, diamond-encrusted
fidget spinner for the woman who is glamorous yet easily distracted. •
Celtic Woman — It's "the cultural event your godmother described as perfection," as the Irish singing group (
Aidy Bryant,
Kate McKinnon,
Cecily Strong, and episode host
Anya Taylor-Joy) hits the road for a Summer 2021 tour of the U.S. Hear them sing deep-cut and loosely original songs… along with a random assortment of non-Gaelic tunes (e.g. "
Sweet Home Alabama") American audiences kinda want to hear more of. • Chalmers Reserve Event Wine — Trett and Leezan Chalmers (
Kenan Thompson and
Cecily Strong), former stars of the reality TV show
The Nastiest Summer Renters of Sag Harbor, introduce their fine wine that's 72% grain alcohol and costs only $1 a bottle. Why the low price? An Italian couple (
Kyle Mooney and episode host
Emma Stone) who makes the wine reveals an ingredient list of twigs, yellow corn, and moldy grapes that didn't make the cut for better wines ("We think it's for the dogs"). • The
Chameleon XLE — A luxury car on the inside, a dilapidated wreck on the outside — but all the better to deter the high risk of theft that accompanies luxury vehicles. The car features a simulated transmission fluid leak, mismatched hubcaps, one exposed wheel painted
school bus yellow, coat hanger antenna… and a supple leather-and-wood interior. • Chanel and Chanel Interior Designs for
Airbnb — Respectively played by episode host
Sydney Sweeney and
Chloe Troast, Chanel and Chanel (the latter pronounces her name "channel") will design the property you're renting out to vacationers to look as bland as possible (e.g. inoffensive artwork, 700
K-cups in the kitchen, owner closets with complicated locks). •
Chantix — Two parodies for the prescription medication used to treat
nicotine addiction and its advertising that uses "real people [with] real stories": • The first, from 2012, lists mental side effects that are worse than nicotine addiction itself, which user
Kristen Wiig slowly discovers she has, much to husband
Bill Hader's consternation (e.g. "If you notice changes in behavior such as a powerful, overwhelming desire to kill the person you love most, call your doctor right away."). • The second ad, from 2018, emphasizes that Chantix user Kelly (
Cecily Strong) is not an actress… although she's quick to correct that she once was, and spends the rest of the ad less praising Chantix and more resurrecting her long-dormant acting skills. • ChatGPTío —
OpenAI creates a version of its
AI service
ChatGPT that's less friendly, more authentic, and is powered by middle-aged, opinionated Latino uncles.
Marcello Hernández and episode host
Bad Bunny depict the
chatbot icons. • cheapkids.net — A website dedicated to the sale of shoddy items for babies and toddlers for irresponsible parents. "When it comes to your kids, why pay more?" • Cheques — While sending money can be as routine as clicking on a smart phone app, a check provides a noir-flavored air when paying your daughter's boyfriend (so she'll never see him again), your maid (so she forgets about what she saw in the gazebo), or your poison supplier ("Just one sip, and I become head of the board"). •
Cherry Grove —
Logo pairs its upcoming reality show
Fire Island with this companion series focusing on a group of affluent lesbians who, unlike the hard-partying gay men of
Fire Island one beach over, get no raunchier than sharing a fondness for dinner, wine, song, jigsaw puzzles, and
water birth. • Chess for Girls! — A parody of gender-based marketing of children's toys, this
chess set (unrelated to the chess game in general) by "
Mottel" features pieces with
Barbie doll-style bodies and chess piece heads, an accompanying dollhouse, beachwear, minivan, bubble blower, and so on. The tag line: "A classic game of strategy and wits… and bubbles!" • Chewable Pampers — A line of Pampers diapers which contain flavor crystals that, once the diaper is soiled, turns into an edible treat. • Chia Head — A parody of both the
Chia Pet and
Minoxidil; men with bald or receding hairlines use this product to give them nice green hair just like a Chia Pet. ("Not to be used in salads!") •
Chicago Improv — A promo for the latest series in producer
Dick Wolf's
Chicago-based
TV franchise, with the city's
improvisational comedy scene and those who populate it depicted in the same gritty, unflinching way as its
firefighting and
law enforcement worlds. • Chickham Apple Farm — Just in time for the apple-picking season, Debra Chickham (
Aidy Bryant), her sister (
Kate McKinnon), and Hank the farmhand (episode host
Woody Harrelson), promote their orchard located in "the part of New York state that has Confederate flags." Visitors can have fun at the petting zoo, haunted hayride, and, yes, the apple orchard ("For $45, you can bring home $10 worth of apples"). • Chonk — This clothing store offers fashions that let women be "gorgeous at any size"; much to the models' clear dismay, however, the store bears an uncomplimentary name. Also featured is "Lil' Chonk" for tween girls (Mom ushers her young model out of camera range), and the menswear store "Normal Clothes", where guys can make a quick trip to find clothes in their size. • ''Chris Rock's White Person's Guide to Surviving The Apollo'' —
Chris Rock, a veteran of
Harlem's famed
Apollo Theater, promotes his video that gives tips to aspiring white comedians and singers on how to win over Apollo's vociferously critical audiences.
Siobhan Fallon and episode host
Rob Morrow appear in before-and-after footage. •
Cialis for Threeways —
Erectile dysfunction medication that's 50% stronger than regular Cialis "just in case
that rare opportunity arises," and also includes anti-depressants ("to help you cope with the inevitable shame and regret") and
Xanax (to help you make it through the argumentative fallout the next morning). •
Cialis Turnt — An ad for "the only pill that combats your
erectile dysfunction while giving you that unbeatable hip-hop sensation of 'getting
turnt.'" To demonstrate its effectiveness,
Taran Killam and
Aidy Bryant are shown dancing wildly to music similar to
Lil Jon's song "
Turn Down for What" that includes the exclamation "Everybody, get turnt!" "If you are turnt for more than 6 hours, congratulations; you are now legally
Lil Wayne." • Citizens for a Better America — Dr. Swen Gazzara (
Gilbert Gottfried) proves the value of hard work in America by asking
Ronald Reagan to personally give him a "humble job" (which he shortens to "
hum job"). • Clancy T. Bachleratt and Jackie Snad albums — A quartet of ads promote collaboration albums by "patriotic country musicians" Clancy (
Will Forte) and Jackie (
Kristen Wiig), on which they perform songs about the four things they know best: Spaceships, toddlers,
Model-T cars, and jars of beer. •
Classical Music Classics — An ad for an album that modernizes classical music pieces by giving them lyrics ("Dudes, we gots to get some
Taco Bell!"). • Clear-Rite — Karen (
Kristen Wiig) speaks the praises of an "invisible" teeth retainer. The twist is that the product isn't real (it's superglue), Karen isn't her real name (it's Beth), and the ad isn't an ad (Beth's just practicing her pitch work before the bathroom mirror). •
Clearasil — Appearing during ''SNL's
recurring Sprockets'' skit, which parodied German pop culture, this ad finds a young woman using Clearasil (or, with a strong German accent, "Clärasil") to get rid of her pimples and impress her new boyfriend. The English word "
pimples", however, is confused in the sketch with "pimplen", a strong German slang word with the same meaning as the English "
fuck" (in the sexual sense). As a result, the commercial tagline ("mach das pimplen kaput") implies that Clearasil will destroy one's sex life. •
Cleveland Cavaliers — This cut-for-time team promo from
Season 43 highlights "The Other Cavaliers," i.e. those who ride on the shoulders (literally) of go-to man
LeBron James, including a
Roomba at point guard, a golden retriever as starting center, and one player (episode host
Donald Glover) who's good at rolling the ball up the court on an inbound in order to preserve time on the
shot clock. • Closet Organizer — A man in a blue Spandex suit (
Will Forte) is hired to organize anything in a closet that someone throws in. • Clovin Hind Jeans — a parody of Calvin Klein Jeans commercials by Richard Avedon which featured numerous supermodels of the day. •
Club Shay Shay: Extended Cut — In January 2024,
Katt Williams reignited feuds and made gripes against several comedians in an episode of
Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast. But according to this ad, 8 additional hours of Williams' (
Ego Nwodim) claims are on
YouTube, where he tells Sharpe (
Devon Walker) that, among other things, he invented fruit, he penned
Barack Obama's "
Yes We Can" campaign slogan, and that
Hollywood made
Kevin Hart "in the same factory where they make
Teddy Grahams" (replying to a doubting Sharpe, "Then why the hell he smell like cinnamon?”). • Cluckin' Chicken — When asked why he tastes so good, a fast-food restaurant's animated mascot (voiced by
Adam Sandler) gleefully describes the process by which he is killed, decapitated, eviscerated, and flame-broiled… then, displaying a schematic chart, describes how he is consumed, digested, and eventually eliminated through defecation. • Clysler-Prymouth — A spoof of
Lee Iacocca's
Chrysler-
Plymouth "Made in America" ads; here, however, Iacocca (
Joe Piscopo) explains that the only part of a Clysler-Prymouth car that's manufactured in America is the floor mats. • CNN Pregnancy Test — Just like
its namesake network, this home pregnancy test delivers "relentless breaking news" alerts to a couple waiting (impatiently) to learn if they're expecting a baby. • CNZen — A
Calm-like app for those who despise
Donald Trump and seek peace in hearing
CNN anchors and commentators soothingly analyze how damning a recent
legal indictment is for the former president ("In your mind, he's already in jail"). • ''The Coconut Bangers Ball: It's a Rap!
— Robert Goulet (Will Ferrell), in a convertible, promotes his new album of rap songs sung in a lounge style (such as "Thong Song" and "Big Poppa") in this 2000 ad. It later got a sequel in Murder in the Make-Believe Ballroom'', in which Goulet covers songs by musical guest
Jay-Z (with Jay's approval). • Coldcock
Malt Liquor —
Tim Meadows appears in this riff on
Billy Dee Williams' pitchwork for
Colt 45; with each sip of this beverage, an animated fist arises from the can's label to whack the drinker upside the jaw.
Ellen Cleghorne ("I ain't afraid of no can of beer!") and
Chris Rock also endorse the drink. •
Cologuard — A spoof of ads for the
colorectal cancer screening kit and its animated box mascot. Here, the kit (voiced here by
James Austin Johnson), which calls himself "Thomas," arrives on the doorstep of episode host
Woody Harrelson, but after Woody appears uncomfortable when Thomas says, "Open me up and, you know,
go inside me," other animated kits, including a female caricature voiced by
Chloe Fineman named "Kylie," offer to step in instead. • Colon Blow — In a parody of high-fiber cereal ads (notably
Total and its "how many bowls" campaign), an off-screen voice tells cereal eater
Phil Hartman he will need 30,000 bowls of his usual cereal to equal the fiber content in a single bowl of Colon Blow (2.5 million to equal Super Colon Blow, which is also promoted here). When the large numbers are quoted, a pyramid of the same number of bowls elevates Hartman into the ionosphere. • Colonel Belmont's Old Fashioned Horse Glue —
Will Ferrell plays Langford T. Belmont, a man whose family has been in the horse glue business for generations. A parody of commercials that try to appeal to old-fashioned values and tradition. • Commode & Commode — Attorneys Denzel & Latrice Commode (
Kenan Thompson and episode host
Regina King) promise financial compensation for those facing hardships from using
Gorilla Glue in place of beauty product, as has happened to members of the Commode family who offer testimonials. A spoof of the "Gorilla Glue Girl" story that went viral the week of this
Season 46 ad. • Complicit — A perfume specifically tailored for First Daughter
Ivanka Trump (episode host
Scarlett Johansson), who the voiceover positions in this
Season 42 ad as a glamorous yet duplicitous part of her controversial
father's (
Alec Baldwin)
presidency. The tagline: "The fragrance for the woman who could stop all of this, but won't." • Compulsion — A "Calvin Kleen" disinfectant, parodying Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume and featuring an
obsessive compulsive spokesmodel (played by
Jan Hooks). • Cookie Dough Sport — A parody of
Gatorade sports drink for athletes who are having a hard time and eat cookie dough out of stress and depression. • CoolPAP — A cut-for-time ad from
Season 51 promotes a
CPAP machine that features various non-standard masks in various caricatures (e.g. surgeon, fighter pilot,
Guy Fawkes) for users with
sleep apnea. • Corn Chip Nail Tips —
Maya Rudolph and
Tracy Morgan appear in this parody of "hip"
potato chip commercials, promoting corn chips that double as false
fingernails ("low in sodium, high in fun") that come in five different flavors (regular,
barbecue,
tandoori chicken, mesquite barbecue (likely a spicier version of barbecue), "and BEEF!", as hobo
Horatio Sanz excitedly states). • Corn Syrup Producers of America — In this trade group ad,
Kristen Wiig inquisitively asks
Nasim Pedrad about why she serves her daughter juice with
high-fructose corn syrup. Pedrad responds by saying she'd rather "trust scientists" who espouse favorable data (e.g. corn syrup is natural, it's okay in moderation) than "stay-at-home mom Sheila from down the street who's having wine at 10 A.M." (a catty dig aimed at a speechless Wiig). •
Count Chocula Silver — Count Chocula (
Jimmy Fallon) promotes a newer version of his cereal that includes ingredients that help promote regularity and good heart health along with "kooky marshmallow bats! Bwa-ah-ah-ah-ah!" • CouplaBeers — When episode host
Shane Gillis found his life at a low point, he discovered "this revolutionary medicine that treats anxiety and depression fast"… though side effects include drowsiness, which can be alleviated by taking another medication promoted in this
Season 50 ad,
ALilBump. •
COVID — Feeling burned out from having to tend to family, friends, and work? This
Season 48 ad encourages you to "ask your doctor about COVID," which can guarantee a long vacation from everything despite such side effects as "having COVID, which is still kind of bad, but doesn't it feel different now?" Since COVID "
isn't for everybody," the Always Positive COVID-19 Home Test (which has two positive lines already drawn on) is also promoted. • Cracklin' Oat Flakes (Now with
Ecstasy) —
Will Ferrell wakes up to find that he has run out of his regular Cracklin' Oat Flakes, but his wife (
Ana Gasteyer) offers this Ecastasy-laced version. After one bowl, Ferrell creeps out his coworkers, makes out with
Chris Parnell, then runs half-naked through the streets until he's seen in bed with a pacifier in his mouth and playing with a
glowstick. • Crazy Edelman — A
Season 9 ad for a
Crazy Eddie-like "discount psychologist" (
Joe Piscopo) promising "the lowest prices on all types of therapy" ("Our prices are so low, I must have an inferiority complex!"). • Creeley's Soup — Off-screen announcer
Bill Murray tries to talk a child (
Gilda Radner) into exchanging the soup she's eating for various items. When she becomes annoyed ("No! Leave me alone! I'm eating!"), the announcer successfully talks her into not only stuffing corn from the soup into her nose but pouring the rest onto her nose ("Because the Soupman says so"). The product's tagline: "Creeley's Soup – The Child Handler". •
The Crests and Troughs of Vernon Hawley, Jr. — This "special TV offer" promotes a 3-record compilation from "one of
country's most enduring, yet erratic, superstars" (episode host
John Larroquette), whose song repertoire deals with his
battles with the bottle ("I hope you remember these ol' tunes… 'cause I don't"). •
Cricket Wireless — On the week when
FEMA and the
FCC tested their
wireless alert system, one the
White House would use only in a national emergency, this
October 2018 ad makes it appear that
Donald Trump will use these "
Presidential Alerts" to express the same type of opinions he shares on
Twitter. Luckily for those who use Cricket, they won't receive such endless alerts at all ("Now are you happy we have awful service?"). • Cruz for Texas — Footage from a campaign rally makes up this ad for
Texas Senator Ted Cruz's (
Beck Bennett) 2018 re-election effort. While a "hype team" (
Kenan Thompson and episode host
Awkwafina) is able to liven up the crowd, things fall apart for Cruz, literally and figuratively, after he takes the stage. • Crystal Gravy — A parody of the clear consumer products fad of the mid-1990s, specifically
Crystal Pepsi.
Julia Sweeney enjoys a drumstick dipped in clear gravy straight from the jar, while
Kevin Nealon gleefully splashes his face in the clear, gooey liquid. •
CVS Pharmacy — For the guys who forgot to get their girlfriends something for
Valentine's Day, CVS is the perfect place to find it at the last minute, be it teddy bears in bee costumes ("Bee Mine"), valentine-themed
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles chocolates, or a Christmas stocking priced at an 80% markdown. == D ==
