 Two weeks after its premiere, the video was parodied by actress Sarah Michelle Gellar on Saturday Night Live, who said (playing Aguilera): "When people see this video, they gonna stop thinking of me as some blonde-haired, bubblegum, music-industry ho – and start thinking of me as an actual ho." Aguilera later commented that she found the parody disappointing and that she "could have made a funnier script out of it." The song was covered by British Ed Sheeran for a Live Lounge session of BBC Radio 1 in February 2015. Sheeran's performance was instrumented by guitar and incorporated soul elements. "Dirrty" was also parodied by Stephen Merchant on the show Lip Sync Battle in May 2015.
