SNL Skit: Commercial for High Fructose Corn Syrup

Posted on March 13, 2011

Two parents debate the safety of high fructose corn syrup at a birthday party in this SNL commercial from the makers of the Corn Syrup Makers of America.

The mom who is worried about giving kids so much corn syrup (Kristen Wiig) is shown to be a total idiot who drinks wine at ten in the morning. The other mom (Nasim Pedrad) is very aggressive and makes the concerned mom feel guilty for raising any concerns. She acts as if there is nothing wrong with loading kids up with high fructose corn syrup. We then see the overly energetic child of the high fructose supporting mother.

At the end of the ad the corn syrup makers say visit our website and no other websites. The faux website is ThereAreWorseThingsThanCornSyrup.com."
