  Matt’s recent SNL commercial-related post has inspired me to think of past classic Saturday Night Live commercials and ad parodies.

  The Taco Town!!! parody on SNL was one of the more memorable fake tv commercials (”Pizza?! Now that’s a taco!”). It was a spoof on Taco Bell’s products like the Cheesy Gordita Crunch (delicious) and the Double Layer Taco (also delicious).

  Kristen and I went with a group of friends to Fitzwilly’s last night. We started talking to Ethan and Angela (who live in L.A.) about mexican food chains we don’t have on the East Coast, like Del Taco and El Pollo Loco. This skit came up in conversation. Ethan then did a rather good impression of Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, and Andy Samberg excitedly yelling “Taco Town!!!” from the skit.

  And of course, you guessed it– due to the awesomeness and popularity of the sketch, some hooligans actually attempted to make the Taco Town taco and posted a video of it on the internets.
