Verizon 4G LTE - SNL

In this commercial spoof, a customer (Fred Armisen) is confused by Verizon's 4G LTE phone plans after the salesman's (Bill Hader) explanations involve bizarre phone names, numbers that don't add up and a glass of orange juice. [Season 37, 2012]

Bill Hader has the perfect voice for this sketch

[WhereYouGoIGo]

I love how the Camera and the accuracy of the filming is changing like its a real commercial

[madelineo]

"it breaks immediately" was so well delivered

[josh]

"Here's your 3G network"
"... What?"
"Put it this way" *moves on to completely different subject*

[aolson]

The best part is that those phone names are all real. Marketers were smoking some good crack back in 2012.

[CaptHayfever]

Spot-on. This is still applicable 3 years later; phone commercials give laughably little concrete information.

[TraumaTrae]

They actually showed us this when I was training to be a sales rep for Verizon 😂

“I live off a settlement”
“You’re native America?”
“Not *on* a settlement, *off* a settlement, I got clipped by a city bus”

[Garrettdx]

“Say you’re running your business off your phone”
“Why would I do that??”
😂
This is still relevant in 2020

Two funniest and most diverse comedians ever on this show.

[joegould]

Anyone else notice how Fred blinks normally throughout the skit and Bill Hader doesn't blink at all?

[marshacreary]

Isn't this the company that forces you to fake your own death to get out of the contract?

[VivaLaVittoria]

video's almost 8 years old and it is still 100% true. Totally laughed out loud at this whole thing. Yup!

[nawshaba]

I need more Bill Hader and Fred Armisen in my life!

[maizetheholographiccorn]

This is how a Verizon commercial really sounds like 😂

[funnybusiness]

The funniest part is that’s exactly what it’s like to get help in a Verizon store.

[grayvidz]

I enjoy SNL for most of their skits, and this is by far one of my favorites even 5 years later. Great skit!

[theman]

0:32, he shut up that sales clerk for a second

[dm]

This skit actually just reminded me to pay my phone bill. Thanks, SNL. ;)

I'm a young adult and every conversation about technology is a nightmare for me.
