Pandora Is the Butt of an SNL Joke
Saturday Night Live poked fun at the charm company, alluding that Pandora was the perfect gift for clueless husbands.
New York--You know when you’ve made it when you’ve caught the attention of Saturday Night Live, and Pandora earned an entire skit parodying their charms this past Saturday.
In a commercial spoof titled “Holiday Jewelry,” the sketch comedy show poked fun at the charm company, alluding that Pandora was an on-the-nose gift for clueless husbands who could buy their wives a bracelet, then continue to give them $60 charms for every gift-giving occasion going forward.
“Pandora charms say the things you want to tell her the most,” a voiceover intoned, “like, ‘I know what job you have and that job is nurse,’ or, ‘You like drinking,’” as a nurse’s hat charm and martini charm were shown.
A less-than-ecstatic Kate McKinnon accepted a charm resembling a Starbucks coffee cup from her sketch husband Mikey Day, lamenting, “I got him a motorcycle.”
Pandora took the high road, responding to the spoof with the Tweet seen below.
Hand-finished charms are what we do! Here's a little something to show how much you mean to us. #PANDORAforLife #SNL pic.twitter.com/yj1qZnGsNq
