Eh, Billw, if you knew my brother you wouldn’t think so.  You already know how I am, well, he’s worse.  Not kidding, he really is.  If I were to get feeling guilty about doing something like that, I would just remember back on all the stuff he did to me when we were kids, then I would feel much better.

Fortunately he really is the kind of guy who would laugh his ass off rolling in the floor if you let him in on it.

The whole plan does have risk however.  Suppose you collect DNA randomly in a restaurant and you happen to get the son of someone who also did the test, whose wife is into the whole DNA scene.  He is minding his own business, his wife suddenly says BILL!  Who is this Jones guy who just showed up on AncestryDNA as your SON?

Or… random restaurant guy’s son did AncestryDNA, Junior is minding his own business and BILL!  Your father isn’t Smith!  It’s JONES!

OK never mind, this gag carries too much risk.

Regarding SNL: I woulda jumped at the opportunity back when it was funny.  Now… it is just sad to see what it became.

We secretly collect DNA from air in a local restaurant.  …

A few days later, results from my sibling come in, registered under a phony name.  Phase two of the gag, call him up:  BRO!  They SWITCHED the BABIES at the HOSPITAL!  You weren’t adopted, you were STOLEN!…

If you do crap like that gag I described, that would definitely fall under the term baggage.
