This is an ad.
Edit: Sorry, this is "product placement" or "branded content" or whatever is called now.
SNL literally announced they were doing this in 2016.

- It's an SNL skit. Take the tinfoil off.
  
  The ketchup company obviously paid for this skit.
- Not everything that mocks a product is trying to sell that product.
  
  But this certainly is. They wouldn't be showing the label like that if the skit wasn't sponsored by the ketchup company.
- Everyone knows us mods here only shill for Whataburger Spicy Ketchup.
