The industries, products, and ad formats targeted by the parodies have been wide-ranging, including fast food, beer, feminine hygiene products, toys, clothes, medications (both prescription and over-the-counter), financial institutions, automobiles, electronics, appliances, public-service announcements, infomercials, and movie & TV shows (including SNL itself). Many of the parodies were produced by James Signorelli.
On the American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show Saturday Night Live ( SNL), a commercial advertisement parody is commonly shown after the host's opening monologue.
