In the hilarious sketch, cast members Cecily Strong and Bowen Yang talk to Styles about accidentally using the fictional Sara Lee Instagram account instead of his personal account to post thirsty, emoji-laden comments below celebrity Instagrams and to reflect on lovelorn trysts and matters of the heart. Following the sketch’s debut, fans wasted no time in taking the risqué comments and captions from _SNL_ and using them on the actual Sara Lee account in real time, flooding the comment section with comments like “WRECK ME DADDY,” “DESTROY ME, KNG,” and a [plethora of eggplant emojis](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/11/free-the-eggplant/601615/ "undefined"). At one point, [_Slate_](https://slate.com/culture/2019/11/harry-styles-snl-sara-lee-instagram-bowen-yang-cecily-strong-julio-torres.html "undefined")reported that Sara Lee was receiving so much engagement on their social media accounts, that they turned off commenting on their Instagram completely, provoking a response from [Yang](https://twitter.com/bowenyang/status/1196125988423438338 "undefined"). Now, however, the comments are back on and Sara Lees’ parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA, said in a statement that they’d very much like to be excluded from this narrative. “We didn’t participate in creating the skit and its content doesn’t align with Sara Lee Bread’s brand,” [a statement to the ](https://nypost.com/2019/11/17/sara-lee-reacts-to-harry-styles-raunchy-snl-sketch/ "undefined")_New York Post_ and _Slate_ read. “But, we all know SNL pushes the envelope for laughs and we are taking it in stride.” Watch the full _SNL_ Sara Lee sketch below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5731671/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-skit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5731671/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-skit/"},"headline":"Sara Lee Was Not Prepared for That Harry Styles SNL Sketch and This Is Their Response","datePublished":"2019-11-18T17:20:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:03.649Z","description":"Sara Lee has responded to that risque SNL sketch after getting flooded with salacious comments.","url":"https://time.com/5731671/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-skit/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5da59c71bd022c2/698a063809208f0bb5415e3d/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-sketch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5da59c71bd022c2/698a063809208f0bb5415e3d/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-sketch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saturday Night Live - Season 45","caption":"Saturday Night Live - Season 45","creditText":"NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5731671/sara-lee-responds-to-snl-harry-styles-skit/","name":"Sara Lee Was Not Prepared for That Harry Styles SNL Sketch and This Is Their Response"}}]}] ```
