I did something similar a few years ago.  "Oh, I'll go to Costco for more whipping cream.  It might take a while, you know, it's a nightmare out there..." and nipped off to watch a movie and binge on nachos with "cheese".

Like so many great videos, not available to those of us in Canada.

Did find a weirdly-cropped and somehow backwards version* that Canadians can watch; still gets the point across:

I'm assuming it's the right one, not being able to watch the one originally linked. Explanation of the skit inside spoiler tags.

Spoiler:  
For those unable to watch it: SNL does a parody of a Target Thanksgiving commercial advertising Target's big empty parking lot as a place you can just sit in your car and escape your family -- or go inside and kill time by lying around in the stuffed animal section, finding a hidden flask in some playdoh, or watching TV on the big screens while snacking on some orange snack food I couldn't identify. After your trip, you can go back home and tell your family "they didn't have it". The slogan is "Buy Yourself...some time." At the end, the Target employee tells the non-shopping-shopper "You do have to pay for all this, though," inciting confusion.


*as in, the text is backwards on the screen
Pray drunk. Hex sober.
