Everyone’s Talking About SNL’s Latest Car Commercial

Commercials aren’t supposed to be realistic. Their one and only goal is to try and sell a product, but sometimes they do it in such a ridiculous way that it can’t be ignored. One famous example has now been turned into an SNL skit—and it already went viral with nearly 4 million views in only eight days.

“A dad’s (Beck Bennett) Christmas surprise to his family (Timothée Chalamet, Heidi Gardner) isn’t received as he expected,” the video description reads.

The skit starts with the family gathered around the Christmas tree, opening their presents. When dad notes that there’s another gift for the mom, and it turns out to be the keys to a brand new Lexus.

The typical scenario would have her over the moon, but this time it’s different. We immediately see the mom freak out about the cost of a new car. “Did you seriously buy a car without asking me? This is a major purchase!” she screams.

The wife is surprised that her husband, who has been unemployed since March 2019, would actually do something like this. Their neighbor then arrives in disbelief and demands that the money the father owes him must be repaid immediately.

But our description certainly doesn’t do the video justice. Watch it yourself and enjoy the performances of these talented SNL comedians!
