If you’re a bored 30-something, there’s a good chance that your most passionate online encounters these days arrive not via Tinder but through Zillow, where you can browse to your heart’s content through homes you’ll definitely never bid on.

In short, as the ad’s voiceover notes, “the pleasure you once got from sex now comes from looking at other people’s houses”—though that pleasure is easily cut short by accidentally hitting the “Contact Agent” button, inevitably unleashing a nonstop stream of calls and texts from a pushy realtor hoping to sell you that big, gross McMansion zillow dating site near where you actually live.

The skit was an immediate hit, with countless Twitter users posting about zillow dating site directly targeted by the clip. It even caught the eye of Zillow CEO Rich Barton, who tweeted, “Wait. Have we been marketing @zillow wrong all these years???” (Yes.)
