Saturday Night Live hit the nail on the head this Valentine’s Day season, tapping into one of the funniest things about the holiday that rarely gets attention: the cheesy gift selection at CVS.
Last night, the show featured a commercial aimed at all of the guys out there who only remembered to get their long-term girlfriend a Valentine’s gift while they were at CVS buying toilet paper.
“Your girlfriend is beautiful, sexy and one-of-a-kind,” the commercial narrator said. “So this Valentine’s Day, get her a gift that’s as special and unique as she is: Some dumb little thing from CVS.”
The commercial highlighted all of the great things women love to get on Valentine’s Day, like a teddy bear dressed up like a bee that says “Bee Mine” on it, a gigantic balloon that sings “Mambo Number 5” whenever you touch it (and sometimes when you don’t), a $1.99 heart necklace or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle heart-shaped box of chocolates.
The most romantic of all of the gifts from CVS are, of course, the G-Rated sex dice. Nothing screams romance like dice that tell you to tickle your significant other’s face! And for those men on a tight budget, CVS also offers 80 percent off Christmas stockings.
“So shop CVS for all your Valentine’s Day needs — and salsa!”
