List of Saturday Night Live commercial parodies
On the American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show Saturday Night Live, a parody advertisement is commonly shown after the host's opening monologue. Many of the parodies were produced by James Signorelli. Fast food, beer, feminine hygiene products, toys, clothes, medications, financial institutions, movie trailers, promos for TV shows, public service announcements, electronic gadgets, and automobiles have been frequent targets.
The commercial parodies have even targeted the SNL producers. A self-parody commercial featured "The Best of the First 20 Minutes", a parody of Broadway Video's series of SNL compilation videos. It offered a compilation of bits from the Cameron Diaz/Smashing Pumpkins September 1998 episode before that episode had even finished.
In 1991, Kevin Nealon and Victoria Jackson hosted a clip show featuring many commercials entitled Saturday Night Live Goes Commercial. In early 1999, Will Ferrell hosted a follow-up special. In late 2005 and in March 2009, the special was updated, featuring commercials created since the airing of the original special.

Daniels continues to give increasingly weak answers to their questions, claiming the number was decided by "experts," until he finally admits he doesn't even know what country he's actually in. The skit ends with Leslie Jones' villager character taking Daniels hostage and demanding $200 in cash to return him.
