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.^{[citation needed]} In late 2005 the special was updated, featuring commercials created since the airing of the original special.

Also advertised is "Nerf Nerf", a formless plasmatic blob of Nerf foam material.
• Network Battle of the T's & A's - parody both of 1970s television specials featuring stars from the three major American TV networks (Battle of the Network Stars) and of the trend of "T & A" ("tits and ass") programming featuring suggestively clad women.

In part two, Ben Affleck (playing himself) sells his wife (played by Amy Poehler) to two burly mob members after losing a bet during a Russian Roulette match. In the final one, Seth's businessman character is back and on the phone with the Dutch man about the removal of a dead prostitute, but this time, the prostitute is a male. Also joining the businessman is Affleck in a pink robe, earrings, and wearing make-up (who asks the Dutch man [played by Darrell Hammond] if he's interested in buying panda meat) and a paranoid Kelly Ripa (in a cameo appearance) wielding a meat cleaver and egging the businessman to cut the prostitute up and put the remains in a bag.
