The Halloween retailer has responded hilariously to 'Saturday Night Live's recent sketch, creating a fake costume that takes aim at the popular NBC comedy show.

AceShowbiz - Spirit Halloween has responded hilariously to "Saturday Night Live" 's recent sketch. The Halloween retailer took to Twitter to retweet the sketch, which aired during the show's 50th season premiere on Saturday, September 28.

It wrote in the caption, "We are great at raising things back from the dead @nbcsnl." The tweet also included an image of a fake costume resembling those sold by the Halloween store, labeled "SNL 50: The Anniversary Season." The costume is described as an "irrelevant 50-year-old TV show" and includes features such as "dated references," "unknown cast members," and "shrinking ratings."

The offending "SNL" sketch portrayed the store as an uplifting commercial spoof, with employees hilariously touting its mission of revitalizing struggling communities by setting up shop in vacant buildings for six weeks. The sketch also poked fun at the store's offerings, claiming it provides "wigs that give you a rash, single-use fog machines, and costumes of famous characters tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit."

Spirit Halloween's response was met with high praise online, with users applauding the store's sense of humor and clever marketing. The "SNL" sketch has since gone viral, with many commenting on the accuracy of the store's portrayal and the absurdity of its business model.
