An Saturday Night Live sketch spoofing Super Bowl commercials cleverly took aim at both the extreme, Q Anon-following, right, and the social justice far left.
The sketch opens up with a mock Super Bowl commentary panel.
"To reflect the importance of this moment in history, you’ll see impassioned commercials," former quarterback Phil Simms said, played by Mikey Day.
"This one almost brought me to tears," he continues.
As the commercial plays, Black Lives Matter and civil rights imagery appears.
"We’ve learned once again that freedom isn’t free. But we must always strive for equality," the narrator says.
The ad is revealed to be a Cheez-Its commercial.
"And we must always reach for ... Cheez-Its. Cheez-Its — historically delicious."

The second commercial is a Papa John's pizza commercial featuring references to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory that circulated on the far right in 2016.
Papa John's pizza with "real ingredients, no additives, no preservatives, and no child sex trafficking in the basement."
"Stop by with your Q-pon today," the narrator concluded.
SNL came out with a slew of hilarious Super Bowl sketches using the very strange times we are all going through right now to crank out some gold.
