Bill Swerski's Tournament Talk: Best SNL Commercial Parodies
Over SNL's legendary 50-year run, only a select few bits have managed to stand the test of time. One that has… the commercial parody. From fake products that feel disturbingly real to outrageous pitches that somehow make perfect sense, these sketches have become a staple of the show since day one.
For this edition of Tournament Talk, Bill Swerkski assembles an expert panel to dive deep into Saturday Night Live's comedy vault and debate the greatest commercial parodies of all time. With five decades of material to choose from, the competition is fierce—and the arguments even fiercer.
Which beloved classics will advance to the finals? And which controversial choices will spark the most heated debates among our panel? Which forgotten gems deserve recognition?
We laugh, we argue, we passionately defend our picks as we battle through bracket-style eliminations to crown the ultimate SNL commercial parody champion. Join us for a nostalgic journey through comedy history, where the debates about what didn't make the cut might be just as entertaining as what did.
