Chad is a fictional character from Saturday Night Live, portrayed by Pete Davidson.

[1] The name Chad has been used during the last couple of decades as slang for a range of male stereotypes, which the SNL character plays on ironically.

In the skit, Mrs. Handler dramatically breaks off the affair with Chad, wanting to protect both their families from the scandal and citing her own personal conflict; Chad responds with little enthusiasm or care, and twice ignores Mrs. Handler to continue cleaning up the pool.

Many of the sketches depict him as doing various things such as going to a Narnia-like world through his closet, being targeted by a serial killer, going to a haunted mansion, touring with RuPaul, and going on a SpaceX mission.

Entertainment Tonight described the character as "hilariously stupid,"[4] and Rolling Stone described him as a "stereotypical stoner bro".
