This is such a perfect skit. The disparity between Beck's character getting a reality check on his "homage" to the alternate reality Cecily's Kendall lives in is (chefs kiss) perfect. I firmly believe Becks "December to remember" dad who lost his job is this character, who got fired for writing this pepsi commercial
I love it! This is now part of my headcanon. I propose the following timeline: 2017: Events of "Pepsi Commercial." Beck is later fired and loses all clout in the ad industry. Over the next two years he is forced to take jobs at smaller, less reputable ad firms. Alcoholism begins. 2019: Beck is fired in March after a string of bad ads and missed deadlines due to his increasing alcoholism. His reputation is now so bad he can't get hired anywhere, let alone at an ad agency. 2020: Events of "December to Remember." This is the final straw that leads Heidi to divorce him. (And possibly begin dating Mikey.) 2021 or later: Events of "Boop-It." Heidi sues for full custody after Beck gets drunk and neglects his kids while playing "Boop-It."

The best part of this sketch is that CLEARLY the original ad was thought up through corporate BS who wanted people to see them as "progressive" without doing anything to act on it. The idea that not only was this someone's "vision," but also that they really sincerely believed in what they were doing, is such an excellent subversion of reality that it's hilarious.
It's especially head-scratching when you realize how many people and committees these ads have to go through before getting approved. Like, nobody said anything?
@@hutch1197 THATS WHAT I SAID. Like how many people do you think worked on that ad? Like Atleast somewhere close to 100? Not one person said “this is a terrible idea” 😂
What makes it so good is that there must have been a gazillion people involved and it somehow made it to being aired. Imagine, how it was first pitched by writers, then approved, then all sorts of production stages, then it was shot, maybe there were test audiences, and finally made it to us. And through all of that no one involved objected! Yes, sometimes it does make sense to listen to a regular person who's not in the industry.
I bet someone did, but they probably got ignored with what they said or didn’t think it was big problem. That person must feel so happy right now for being right!!!
@@deadchannel_1 one can't be objectively better if the product is literally the same in make up. If you like red more than blue and that's why you like coke, that's okay and that's your opinion. But one isn't objectively better.
@No Sanctuary yeah if you look at it like that. But if the majority has one opinion I’d say that’s the closest to fact you can get with that. No one goes to a restaurant and specifically asks for a Pepsi. They say “Can I get a Coke?” Screw Pepsi and it’s trashy attempts at relevancy. In this situation I literally refuse to say my opinion isn’t fact. The majority of people who like Pepsi only like it just so they can be a special snowflake. But my favorite color is red soooo. Pepsi sucks. And just to be clear, this is right here is mainly about the brand not the taste.
I'm pretty sure they knew about Pepsi, a drink that had been around long before either of them were born. Pepsi is only a few years younger than Coke. They've both been around since the 19th century.

Pepsi tried to copy Coke's extremely successful "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" ad in the late 60s that used the Hippie Flower movement as a way of bringing harmony to the world by sharing Coca-Cola. But there were no police......just the unity of the movement sharing amongst itself, so it was widely accepted.
Just a nitpick: that ad came out in 1971. The only reason I know the year is because it was the series finale of "Mad Men," haha. ;) I thought Pepsi was trying to channel that very successful commercial too. What a colossal fail.

@@catperson2020 lol dont worry, im not the PC police to feel like u did something wrong. I laugh when ppl say i look like aziz ansari too ;) asian myself mama
Something "ages poorly" if it started out well-received. The commercial was hated upon arrival. If anything, it's aging fantastically as something everyone points to as the pinnacle of self-serving woke corporate advertising. Just read the comments, people teach about it in schools now. It will age legendarily.
In fact, the comments section of TH-cam is how I found out this was a real ad (which I’ve now watched on TH-cam); what’s interesting is how the commercial’s music informed a Russian ‘Rage’ track that came out two years ago. Pepsi worked 40+ years to become the market leader in Russia, well ahead of Coke. All gone now with Putin’s invasion - th-cam.com/video/j-n4hzCxqqM/w-d-xo.html
it was offensive on arrival, which people recognized back them because racism didn't suddenly only become an issue in 2020. black lives matter started in 2014 they namedrop it in this very sketch
Can I just say how good the color grading and set design is in this skit? Everything is either blue, yellow, or red, the color of pepsi, even the clothes and hair colors.
Oh man, this an actual ad. Way funnier I did not see this, because I have no internet connection unda the sea, where to be honest, darling, it is better down where it's wetter, man.
that's what kills it for me - we are in the middle of psychological warfare. Like it was one guy's idea.. what a joke. It took a lot of tone deaf people to OK that one, and Pepsi is trying to save face. Fuck them.
Jaye Maelle she should give it back or donate to Black positive cause. taking blood money is still wrong although most Americans don't care. Their God is money
It should be a wake up call that idiots like Kendall Jenner or most other celebrities shouldn't be your moral leaders. Don't expect them to be thoughtful or have integrity. That's not why you watch their dumb reality shows or listen to their crap music. Admit to yourself that you have shitty taste in art and that it makes you uncomfortable to see their shallowness, because it reflects your own.
Once the ball gets rolling it is pretty hard to stop, as they showed in the skit. The problem is the ball should never have started rolling and someone should have stopped it early in the process. Oh well, tens of thousands of commercials are made every year so some are going to be in poor taste.
@@hadracks Speaking from someone in the business I see! Yes, the decision would have been firmed and approved long ago, and it's not up to the director to change it. In fact, it might not even the director's fault for the idea, he's job was just to deliver the idea visually. The fault was on Pepsi, when the big corporate heads thought that their brand was big enough to influence the pubic, much like when celebrities trying to get into politics. So glad the public reminded them that they just sell soft drinks, and should stay that way. What the director could have done, was to shoot as many alternative scenes as he could while the set is still here, and edit different (or less sensitive) versions for the corporate to choose from, talk them into using the new version and away from the original.
This sketch is amazing, made only better by the incomparable Cecily in the last 8 seconds 😂😂 so well written! I wonder how the dude that actually directed that commercial feels about this??
His smile slowly fading while he listens to his sister's response is perfect.

@@catperson2020 lol dont worry, im not the PC police to feel like u did something wrong. I laugh when ppl say i look like aziz ansari too ;) asian myself mama
This sketch aged really well. The real Pepsi commercial however has aged really REALLY poorly.
10 years from now people will learn about the Pepsi commercial watching this skit!
Something "ages poorly" if it started out well-received. The commercial was hated upon arrival.
If anything, it's aging fantastically as something everyone points to as the pinnacle of self-serving woke corporate advertising. Just read the comments, people teach about it in schools now. It will age legendarily.
It was dead on arrival. It was reviled on arrival. It was dog shit on the doorstep of America. WTF Pepsi.
In fact, the comments section of TH-cam is how I found out this was a real ad (which I’ve now watched on TH-cam); what’s interesting is how the commercial’s music informed a Russian ‘Rage’ track that came out two years ago. Pepsi worked 40+ years to become the market leader in Russia, well ahead of Coke. All gone now with Putin’s invasion -

it was offensive on arrival, which people recognized back them because racism didn't suddenly only become an issue in 2020. black lives matter started in 2014 they namedrop it in this very sketch
“Alright people! 60 seconds till we roll on this mans! singular vision!”
Why is there an exclamation point after man's, but no apostrophe in man's?
imagine correcting someone's grammar to feel some sort of elitism towards randoms online lol
This hits different in 2020.
Yea...one person did reenact it, it didn't work but they weren't in trouble or anything
This is the best SNL sketch I have seen in a long time
I like how the color of the phone changes every shot
I never noticed that! I don’t think he noticed either - he doesn’t see color.
Beck Bennett should be in more movies - he's amazing
1:11 His sister must have been reading him for BLOOD on the other end of that line. I would have loved to hear that part of the conversation, lol
Can I just say how good the color grading and set design is in this skit? Everything is either blue, yellow, or red, the color of pepsi, even the clothes and hair colors.
Beck carried this so gracefully & the way he just handed it off to Cecily to finish with that BANG! UGH! Literal perfection 😂😂😂
No words. They did this flawlessly. Perfect, in an essence.
I love Beck and Kyle's friendship. It's so pure and they go back so far together. Cecily is so precious though.
the world really needs Kendall Jenner with a pepsi can right about now.
With a Pepsi.
Tyrant-Den with a coke
Yes imagine if Kendall gave all police officers a Pepsi NOW and stopped them from shooting black people...
thats the last thing the world needs lol
That “LIVE AND LEARN” Pepsi slogan at the end is just the best
Beck Bennett does a great job in this. Love how his face falls in each conversation.
That sigh at 2:57 conveys so well his sheer panic of the moment...
I feel like Pepsi knows everyone prefers Coca Cola and they thought " might as well go out with a bang!" 😐
getrealp78 yep
Nope not everyone prefers Coca Cola.
getrealp78 I actually prefer Pepsi I don't like Coke.
getrealp78 I actually prefer Pepsi I don't like Coke.
Well their both under same company so nothing to lose.
I love that Beck semi-reprised this role in Enough is Enough! This definitely needs to become a series of sorts.
One of the best SNL sketches ever, gotta say, so well executed
Oh man, this an actual ad. Way funnier
I did not see this, because I have no internet connection
unda the sea, where to be honest, darling, it is better down where it's wetter, man.
Shud The Blobfish you're a great mermaid, you know that?
Actually wonder how much Pepsi paid SNL to play this and advertise a bit, save face and get some good laughs? That's pretty much an ultimate win-win
hahaha your profile pic is kill in me XD
that's what kills it for me - we are in the middle of psychological warfare. Like it was one guy's idea.. what a joke. It took a lot of tone deaf people to OK that one, and Pepsi is trying to save face. Fuck them.
probably part of the plan
It’s already 3 years old? It’s like something from a week ago lmao
Can’t believe they made fun of A-trains energy drink ad 5 years before it came out
Oh man, watching this today, it's like finding every current event in an old episode of the Simpsons.
The boyz just ripped this skit off ! 😂
I’m here after The Boys did this with A-Train.
Yes :D
Same here hahaha
"This is important."
My favourite gag is the line, "Don't even touch it?"
Damn, he got that neighbor on the phone quick.
I like how the smile gets wiped off his face when after telling what his Pepsi commercial is about.
has anybody noticed his phone changed its color, from gold to black?, at 1:36
lol
snoogleface watching at 144p ._.
omg you're right
You’re right omg
Exactly what I was thinking
It changes back to black, around @1:50
I just drank a Coke.
Liv Grace
Whilst Pepsi is almost taking over coca cola
Liv Grace I work for Coke
I prefer Coke Zero
Vanilla Coke is delicious
just did coke :)
Why does the phrase "I can't super talk right now" make me laugh so hard?! 🤣🤣☺️☺️🤣🤣
We talked about this commercial in my communications class today. Then we watch the real commercial and the SNL skit.
"can you get like a neighbor on the phone....a black one"
That groups skits are by far the best on SNL they nail it every time lol
It doesn’t exist as a song anymore, it exists as a punchline, just like “We Are The World.”
Legend has it hes still driving in his car far far away in the opposite direction from his Pepsi commercial
I love Beck's first phone talk. I can imagine his sister's outrage by way he responds. Hits little too close to home though.
Fucking 30 second ad that I can't skip
Was it for Pepsi?
Noah Purdy same
If you refresh the page when the ad comes up it'll usually reload without one!
um... adblock?
revengefrommars just wait the 30 seconds lol
Kendall was paid $4 million for this ad. I'd do it too
damn right
Jaye Maelle she should give it back or donate to Black positive cause. taking blood money is still wrong although most Americans don't care. Their God is money
The fuck do you mean blood money... it's not like they killed someone for it, it's a company paying advertisement.
+dandanthetaximan -- Apparently, most of the extras weren't from the U.S., I don't even know if it was shot here...
It should be a wake up call that idiots like Kendall Jenner or most other celebrities shouldn't be your moral leaders. Don't expect them to be thoughtful or have integrity. That's not why you watch their dumb reality shows or listen to their crap music. Admit to yourself that you have shitty taste in art and that it makes you uncomfortable to see their shallowness, because it reflects your own.
i love how his smile slowly dissapears as his sister explains it to him. brilliant
It's June 2020, and I can't wait to see Pepsi's NEW commercial!
Why did Kendall's character look more like Kylie?
Is there a difference?
I was looking for this comment! My thoughts exactly
Agreed
Super doesn't matter which Jenner/Kardashian is involved with anything.
They all look alike
i just wish the real director had a sister who tells him that this was a bad idea 😂😂😂
Once the ball gets rolling it is pretty hard to stop, as they showed in the skit. The problem is the ball should never have started rolling and someone should have stopped it early in the process. Oh well, tens of thousands of commercials are made every year so some are going to be in poor taste.
@@hadracks Speaking from someone in the business I see! Yes, the decision would have been firmed and approved long ago, and it's not up to the director to change it. In fact, it might not even the director's fault for the idea, he's job was just to deliver the idea visually. The fault was on Pepsi, when the big corporate heads thought that their brand was big enough to influence the pubic, much like when celebrities trying to get into politics. So glad the public reminded them that they just sell soft drinks, and should stay that way.
What the director could have done, was to shoot as many alternative scenes as he could while the set is still here, and edit different (or less sensitive) versions for the corporate to choose from, talk them into using the new version and away from the original.
How is he this good at acting? Really sold me on the excitement fading away bit
I knew SNL would parody the Pepsi commercial as soon as it came out😂
This sketch is amazing, made only better by the incomparable Cecily in the last 8 seconds 😂😂 so well written! I wonder how the dude that actually directed that commercial feels about this??
Beck Bennett is so cute when he's excited. Acting or real.
"Like an homage to the Black Lives Matter move...Don't even touch it?"
Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
