The Commercial Challenge, or Branding Challenge, is a challenge where the contestants advertise and promote their own shows, brands or products that they have to originally write by themselves. This challenge is comedy oriented with the winner of the challenge typically having the funniest commercial.
The challenge is similar to the Acting Challenge and Improvisation Challenge as all these challenges rely heavily on comedy and acting skills.
