The Saturday Night Live commercial is usually a spoof of a real commercial found on television at that time, and is commonly shown after the host's opening monologue. The gag generally replaces the product for sale with something fantastical (or just plain destructive), or alters the characters involved to provide comedy. Fast food, beer, feminine hygiene products, toys, and automobiles have been frequent targets. In early 1999 a clip show featuring many of these commercials, hosted by Will Ferrell, aired. In late 2005 the special was updated, featuring commercials created since the airing of the original special.List of popular commercials:
