    I watched Saturday Night Live this past weekend and thought this faux commercial was funny. Alex Baldwin was also hysterical portraying Tony Bennett. Funny show for the most part. A good season opening.

    Hilarious! Recalls to mind Gilda Radner and J.A.P. Jeans. :-) Maybe some of us old folk think SNL is not as funny as it used to be, but it still looks pretty good. Sorry I missed this one!

      Yes — hard to get over the original few years — they were so great.

    I am so glad you posted this. In my mind, it even surpasses the Obsessive Compulsive send up of the Obsession ads.
    (by the way, Kristen Whig looks absolutely stunning).

    I suspect the perfume is a combination of aldehdyes, oud, pink peppercorn, “white amber” tuberose and cherry.

    Freaking’ hilarious; I heart Kristin Wiig. And yes, I wonder if the juice itself is any good. Haha.

    OMG that is funny .

    It starts off so much like the typical high-end designer ‘fume commercial and just gets funnier and funnier. It’s very well done.

    I think it smells of red berries, aldehydes, pink peppercorn, cherry, and lots and lots of long-lasting skank.
