List of Saturday Night Live Commercial Parodies - T

T

  • Taco Town – a restaurant parody of Taco Bell, advertising a new taco with layer after layer of outer crust, finished with a Chicago-style pizza and blueberry pancake, and "deep fried to perfection." Andy Samberg says of the product, "Pizza? Now that's what I call a taco!"
  • Tech-Pack – A man (Jason Sudeikis) shows a harried woman (Kristen Wiig) at the airport a new wearable pouch system that can hold and activate all electronics (mp3 players, PDAs, cellphones, etc.) with a joystick, but scares other passengers because of its uncanny resemblance to a suicide belt.
  • Teddy Bear Holding a Heart – a spoof of a De Beers commercial, where a guy gives his sweetheart a teddy bear holding a heart for Valentine's Day, the gift available practically everywhere.
  • Texxon – An image ad shown during "network newsbreaks," including those following the Buckwheat assassination, ostensibly touting the philanthropic efforts of that petroleum company; they successively degenerate into thinly veiled threats of dire consequences if various legislation under consideration doesn't go the company's way, supposedly forcing it to scale back efforts to assist the needy: "Texxon. Do what we say, and nobody gets hurt."
  • That's Not Yogurt! – spoof of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" ads. After eating the product, a couple (Victoria Jackson and Kevin Nealon) becomes very concerned about what the mysterious product actually is, but the coy announcer won't tell them. "From the makers of Those Aren't Olives!"
  • The Looker – Penny Marshall (Fred Armisen) stars in a new crime drama as a police interrogator who gets suspects to sign confessions simply by staring at them for long periods of time.
  • Three-Legged Jeans – "And hey, not any dumber than acid-washed!" The chorus of the reggae-tinged theme music features the catchphrases "Three at last" and "A leg and a leg and a leg" sung together.
  • Tim and Meat's One-Stop Rocky Horror Shop – Tim Curry and Meat Loaf (both appearing as themselves) are proprietors of a store with props and costumes based on the 1975 cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
  • Tortumatic – the ultimate way to show others that you can take pain. Charles Rocket demonstrates it, getting punched repeatedly by a number of boxing gloves, and slamming his hand with a mallet.
  • Tressant Suprème – Kelly Ripa spoofs the numerous hair coloring ads in which she has appeared. In this parody, Ripa prefers Tressant Suprème because it contains "just a little bit of crack cocaine," thus explaining her well-known "peppy" persona.
  • Trilocaine – a scalp-itch medication with extremely disturbing side effects. "90% of users experience an instantaneous and horrifying sleep paralysis containing a bleak vision of mortality."
  • Triopenin – arthritis medication in a bottle that's virtually impossible to open.
  • Triple Trac Razor – a razor with three blades because the consumer is gullible enough to believe what he sees on TV commercials (this was written in the years before razors had progressed past two blades).
  • Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover – a product that, "when applied once every hour for 72 straight hours," slowly burns away unwanted lower back tattoos. "That tingling means it's working!" Tagline: "Because it won't be cool forever."
  • Tylenol B.M. – a laxative product shown to cause you to defecate while you sleep.
