Ben & Jerry’s Launches Two Saturday Night Live Themed Flavors: Lazy Sunday & Gilly’s Catastrophic Crunch

Today ice cream purveyor Ben & Jerry’s launched two new flavors inspired by sketches from Saturday Night Live. They’re being made in honor of the show’s 40th anniversary this year. Ben & Jerry’s will also debut two more SNL-themed flavors later this year.

The first new ice cream is called Lazy Sunday, based on the famous sketch with Andy Samberg and Chris Parnel. In “Lazy Sunday,” Samberg and Parnell wax poetic about their love of cupcakes — Magnolia cupcakes, to be specific. Fittingly, Ben & Jerry’s new flavor contains a vanilla cake batter ice cream base with chocolate and yellow cupcake pieces and a chocolate frosting swirl.

The second new flavor Ben & Jerry’s is debuting is called Gilly’s Catastrophic Crunch. Based on Kristen Wiig’s silly SNL character, the flavor contains a combination of chocolate and sweet cream ice creams, with caramel clusters, fudge-covered almonds and a marshmallow swirl.
