In this home shopping network parody, two ShopTV hosts (Heidi Gardner and Ariana Grande) attempt to sell Halloween-themed cookies. The sketch's comedy centers on Grande's character repeatedly mishearing what Gardner's character says, turning innocent descriptions of the cookies into inappropriate double entendres. As the miscommunications escalate, both actresses struggle to maintain their composure and eventually break character, laughing genuinely throughout the sketch. Their visible breaking only added to the sketch's humor and helped it become one of the most viral moments of SNL's 50th season.
