This is the first SNL commercial parody in a while to make me laugh. Short. Tight. A clear premise that doesn't get pounded to death.
Now, how much would you say final turn/reveal was added as a tag to strengthen the bit structurally as a punchline, versus being added to keep critics from accusing the writers of being one-sided on the issue?

The Comic's Comic reports that sources are confirming Paul Brittain, Vanessa Bayer, and Taran Killam as new cast members for the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live.
Brittain is a Chicago based comedian, who has worked with the iO comedy team, Mike Helicopter, also teaching at the theater. He has worked with the Second City and the Annoyance Theater. He also did his solo show, Sex Ed, at the TBS Just For Laughs Festival.
Bayer, a Cleveland native, is now based in Chicago, working with the iO team Revolver, the Annoyance Theater, and The Second City Touring Company. She has interned at Conan O'Brien's NBC gig, and on Sesame Street!
Killam might look familiar from his work on MADtv, How I Met your Mother, one of the strange incarnations of Scrubs, and plenty other television appearances. He is also a member of The Groundlings.
