The following is a partial list of Saturday Night Live commercial parodies . On Saturday Night Live ( SNL ), a parody advertisement is commonly shown after the host's opening monologue. Fast food, beer, feminine hygiene products, toys, 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 early 1999, Will Ferrell hosted a clip show featuring many commercials. In late 2005 the special was updated, featuring commercials created since the airing of the original special.
