SNLs parody Republican post-election ad is filled with brutal honesty

November 9, 2026

A side-by-side image shows a man and a woman in suits. The woman stands in front of an American flag.

We know what kind of ads Republicans were running in the run-up to the midterm elections, but what kind of ads might they have run after they were over?

SNL imagines exactly that in the clip above, with host Druski and cast members Andrew Dismukes, Ashley Padilla, Jeremy Culhane all playing brutally honest politicians.

"Keep in mind, a lot of stuff was said on both sides," says Dismukes at one point. "He said I was out of touch with everyday Americans; I said his children weren't biologically his."
