SNL Lexus commercial

The skit opens with the family exchanging gifts for Christmas when the husband surprises the wife with car keys of the Lexus. However, unlike the real ad commercials of the brand, in the skit, the wife was mortified on receiving the gift. It was because she understood that they could not afford the luxury car and that it was not a wise idea.

When the whole family goes outside to look at the car, it is decorated similarly to how it is in the real ad commercials. While the husband in the skit hoped for his family to get all emotional seeing the gift like the actors do in the real ad commercial, his wife’s reaction was contrary to that. She says, “Are you f****** kidding me Nathan? Did you seriously buy a car without asking me? This is a major purchase!”

Mocking the tagline that is used by the company in their ads during this time of the year. The wife admits to their son (portrayed by Timothee) that his father has been out of job since last year.

The wife further points out how it is an expense and not at all the savings that the ads claim. Concluding the skit, a voiceover is heard, “Give the gift of Lexus. Definitely talk it over first.” Watch SNL’s Lexus Ad skit below.
