A fake Mercedes-Benz ad was one of the few standout sketches from this past weekend's Saturday Night Live. Julia Louis-Dreyfus' star power and some high-end commercial cinematography sell the two-minute parody as a real commercial — until the actress reveals the vehicle is powered by 9,648 AA batteries.
Someone at Mercedes-Benz enjoyed the joke enough to pull a "yes and" on Twitter, sharing the skit along with a photograph of the car manufacturer's complimentary recharging station: a standard electrical outlet charger.
Here's the skit:
And here's the tweet:
We loved the Mercedes-Benz AA spot. It’s worth noting that it comes with a complimentary recharging station. pic.twitter.com/HugnHJvLzX

Ride the snake.
