When a husband surprises his wife with a Lexus for Christmas, things take an unexpected and hilarious turn in this spot-on parody of those iconic holiday car commercials.
This sketch is a parody of the famous Lexus "December to Remember" holiday sales event commercials that air every Christmas season. The sketch satirizes the luxury car commercials where wealthy spouses surprise each other with expensive vehicles tied with giant bows in their driveways. Key and Peele put their signature comedic spin on these commercials, likely highlighting the absurdity and excess of gifting luxury vehicles during the holidays, as well as commenting on the disconnect between these aspirational ads and everyday reality.
This sketch aired as part of the Season 3 finale episode titled "Pussy on the Chainwax" which aired on December 18, 2013. The Lexus "December to Remember" campaign is one of the most recognizable holiday advertising campaigns in America, making it ripe for parody. This sketch was uploaded to YouTube on May 29, 2013, but aired as part of the December 18, 2013 episode. The sketch has garnered over 1.1 million views on YouTube.
