List of Saturday Night Live Commercial Parodies - S

S

• Salon – Features David Spade as a "flamboyant" beauty salon operator pitching a hairspray that is activated by saying "salon" repeatedly (in the exaggerated French manner, with a sibilant 'S' and the accent on the first syllable). He teaches Victoria Jackson how to say it "properly."
• Schmitt's Gay – spoofs beer companies targeting specific demographics. Two gay men (Chris Farley & Adam Sandler) are housesitting and are discouraged at the filthy condition of the backyard pool. When the water is turned on, however, it magically transforms into a sparklingly clean pool filled with attractive, and presumably gay, men wearing bikini swim trunks, with whom both characters end up cavorting merrily.
• Shirt in a Can – Tim Meadows spills something on his shirt, so he sprays on this product.
• Short & Curly – The shampoo men use to keep their pubic hairs clean and shiny. Also features Short, Dark, Curly, and Lovely, "but that, my friends, is strictly for the brothers".
• Sofa King – furniture store ad featuring a family of apparent Middle Eastern origins with thick accents. Everything in the ad is promoted with the adjective "Sofa King" (as in, "It's Sofa King comfortable!"), but the accents make it sound like "so fucking."
• Speed – Veteran SNL writer Anne Beatts makes a rare on-screen appearance as a housewife able to happily multi-task, thanks to Speed, the diet pill you don't have to be overweight to use, obtainable from your doctor, your neighbor's doctor, your college roommate's doctor, etc.
• Spitzer and Associates – Following his resignation due to the sex scandal involving his money laundering and dalliences with high-priced call girls, Eliot Spitzer (Bill Hader) is now opening a private practice dealing with embarrassing sex-related issues. Sketch called Spitzer Cold Open.
• Spud Beer – made from potatoes. This is the Insane Asylum version. Writer Alan Zweibel appears as an electroshock subject who enjoys Spud because it's the beer for people who can't taste the difference. "Spud! The beer that made Boise famous!"
• Steve Martin's All-Natural Penis Beauty Cream—New Formula – a parody of the celebrity infomercial boom.
• Sub Shack – a parody of the Subway Jared Fogle ad campaign, with customers of the fast-food restaurant gaining weight rather than losing it.
• Super Bass-O-Matic 1976 – parody of Ronco ads featuring Dan Aykroyd pureeing raw fish (and bats) in a blender. Wow, that's terrific bass.
• Suppressex – an anti-arousal medicine taken to prevent erections from occurring at inopportune moments.
• Swiffer Sleepers – parody of Swiffer ads with children's blanket sleepers designed to pick up dust and dirt as they crawl.
• Swill — Bill Murray extols the qualities of this putrid mineral water "dredged from the bottom of Lake Erie," the packaging of which looks nearly identical to Perrier. A highlight is the slow pouring of Swill from the bottle, set to the refrain of Carly Simon's "Anticipation," a song used to promote another slow-pouring food item at the time, Heinz Ketchup.
