commercial parody
Satirical fake ad
A commercial parody is an imitation of an advertisement created for comedic effect, typically exaggerating the conventions of real commercials to mock products, marketing techniques, or consumer culture.
Common on sketch comedy shows and online, these parodies often target recognizable brands or generic ad formats: The commercial parody featured a fake pharmaceutical with absurd side effects.
In trademark law, commercial parodies may receive protection as fair use when they clearly comment on or criticize the original rather than simply trade on its recognition.
