Lessons in timing! Funny or Die’s cameltoe ad with Kelly Brook revealed days after SNL’s ad spoof

In a season in which multiple blogs have accused SNL of lifting sketch ideas from other shows and sites, here is evidence that parallel thinking goes both ways, parallel speaking.

Funny or Die has a new "exclusive" video today of British hottie Kelly Brook advertising a product to help the ladies overcome cameltoe and triumph in a slightly NSFW way.


 

Of course, SNL did an ad spoof on this same exact thing, with a slightly different product, a couple of nights ago.


 

It's not as if nobody had thought of the idea before. Years ago, San Francisco sketch group Kasper Hauser put out a spoof ad themselves about cameltoe, albeit for men?! Strange but true.

Just another gentle reminder that in comedy, the most important rule is TIMING!
