# Celeb Adoption Parodies Angelina Jolie and Madonna Spoofed For Baby Obsession on SNL By Bianca | Published 2009-04-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angelina-jolie-madonna-snl References: [gaywired](http://www.gaywired.com/Article.cfm?ID=22166) Angelina Jolie, the mother of [celebrity adoptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats), was spoofed alongside Madonna in a [Saturday Night Live skit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad) last weekend by Kristen Wiig and Amy Elliott. The SNL skit pokes fun at the highly publicized adoptions both stars are engaged in. Apparently the latest news is that Madonna’s attempt to adopt 4-year-old Mercy James from Malawi was deferred, not surprising after the controversy regarding her adoption of David Banda, also from Malawi, two years ago. Angelina Jolie, perhaps the most publicized celebrity adopter, is rumored to be adopting a child from India, adding to her other three adopted children from Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia. Check out the Madonna and Angelina Jolie on SNL parody above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrity Adoption Satire:** Satirical take on celebrity adoptions could lead to increased scrutiny and re-evaluation of current adoption laws. - **International Adoption Controversy:** Controversy around Madonna’s and Angelina Jolie’s international adoptions may result in more stringent regulations around international adoptions. - **Adoption by Single Parents:** Increased media attention on celebrity single parent adoptions may create a shift towards more single parent adoptions in general. ### Where This Applies - **Adoption Agencies:** Adoption agencies may face increased scrutiny and tighter regulations following the recent controversy around celebrity international adoptions. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry could benefit from the increased attention on celebrity adoptions with more comedies and satire shows exploring the topic. - **Law and Policy:** The recent controversy around celebrity international adoptions could lead to a re-examination of adoption laws and policies nationally and internationally. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sketch Comedy Retail Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-lady.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Blockbuster Shopping Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-friday-ad.md) - [Cheeky Celeb-Inspired Fictional Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Gelato Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherlato.md) - [Actress Lip Color Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-ford-runway-lip-color.md) - [Glam Pet Adoption Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats.md) - [Animated Pop Revival Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-pups.md) - [Privileged Cookie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-of-two-icons.md)
