Another day, another potshot at Brad Pitt's Chanel No. 5 commercials.

Just days after Team Coco spoofed the arguably indulgent fragrance ads, Saturday Night Live jumped on the bandwagon with a series of digital shorts that aired Saturday night.

In the first mock ad, Taran Killam (as Brad), in a longish blond wig and facial scruff, spouts off grave lines like: "Plans disappear and dreams take over. And then dreams wake up and smile at reality."

The character then turns off-camera: "I'm sorry, is there really no script? Because I've been talking to myself for like two hours straight and I'm starting to sound insane. You want me to sound less coherent? Really? OK. I can just start making up words."

Three more mock ads follow, with "Brad" shilling for brands including Taco Bell and tattoo removal services. Watch the first "ad" below.
