the funniest sales pitch is sometimes the one where the people selling the product have absolutely no idea what they’re selling. in snl’s “porn stars: manolo blahnik,” vanessa bayer, cecily strong and tina fey play former porn stars attempting to promote luxury shoes. they want the glamour of a high-end fashion commercial, but their mispronunciations and wildly inappropriate stories keep dragging the presentation somewhere else entirely. the brilliance is the contrast between the product’s prestige and the presenters’ complete inability to speak its language. manolo blahnik is supposed to signal sophistication and exclusivity. the women deliver “manuel blondicks,” while tina fey’s character somehow turns the brand into “manilow blankets.” the product remains luxurious. the people selling it make the entire performance gloriously unprofessional.
