SNL's Leggings Are for the Bed, the Couch, and the Other Side of the Couch
Saturday Night Live knows what you're really up to when you wear leggings. In a hilarious parody commercial on this weekend's episode, Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant make fun of leggings that are advertised for athletes. "Introducing Nike Pro-Chiller Leggings, designed for endurance but used for what most women actually do in leggings: setting up shop on the couch," the narrator says.
Kate McKinnon, in a baggy T-shirt and a messy bun, calls it like it is: "Let's get real. Leggings can be pants, pajamas, and a napkin." Other than being perfect for couch-lounging, SNL's leggings are spill-resistant and heatproof. "Because I bring the heat: leggings, blanket, laptop," Bryant says. Scroll down to see the video in full—we dare you not to laugh.

She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
