SNL Brand Parodies: Bad PR?

Love you, Louis C.K., but to anyone who lived through the 90’s Saturday Night Live’sChris for President” skit was last week’s winner, hands down. The second best was this “brutal” takedown of Jos. A. Bank.

Harsh, bro. Today AdAge asks whether the company’s imminently mockable “buy 1 suit get 3 free” made the skit inevitable. We’d say “probably”, but we’d like to pose a different question: does it matter?

This really goes back to the age-old question about all publicity being good.
