I enjoyed that sketch too. The dating thing with the “teen boys” was the boring sketch. Fast-forwarded through that after thirty seconds. Watching the show on the DVR is the only way to watch it. 

PDD is consistently one of the highlights of current SNL for me.  I don’t think they could do high concept like Lonely Island.  

My friends and I in middle school did the “WEEB-WEEBWEEB-WEEB” sound Hooks made when she was fast-forwarding for about two years straight. We thought it was the funniest shit ever.

If memory serves, that was the Chris Evert episode that also had “Nude House of Wacky People”, and the sketch where Nora as Martina…

I am so thrilled at the nod to Jan Hooks’ Bette Davis Video Will. It’s literally one of my favorite things ever, not just from SNL. I still regularly think things like “WALLACE. Beery. Sent me a DEAD. OWL!!” and “I FELL OUT. OF! My chair.”

Ah I see. Kravitz looks so damn hot and cool in that picture I didn’t even clock the smokes. Just makes her even cooler really. Fuzzypants is probably still mad no one invited him to skip 3rd period to go smoke in the bathroom in High School

Capt Fussypants is complaining about the “SNL interstitial altered photo” of Kravitz at the top of the article, not any ads. Not to say that I respect them, it’s just an image invoking some “old showbiz” imagery, and they’re being a silly little diaper bitch.

Those ads are targeted I think. I’m only seeing ads for Amazon fresh. Which is evil in different ways.  

Plus, in my mind, having women play this sort of early teen nerd just works better for the sketch.  

The years for women in between Jan Hooks departure and Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, and Ana Gasteyer all being in place were pretty rough, and coincided with the frat guy years of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade. I’m guessing that’s what elder millennials and young Gen Xers remember best.

Agree with you on Aidy, and we have gotten better female casts, but consider the (early) 90s where Norm McDonald said “women are not funny,” pretty much any woman in the book “Live from NY”...and then all of the men that have gone on in the 90s, 00s and beyond to play women after, for a “sight gag.” I am not denying…

I think he used all his time pulling out “gamine” from the 10-cent word drawer.

You’d think those dancers would have helped Rosalia put on her jacket. Chivalry is dead.

Honestly I didn’t like this sketch, but...

“Playing on the sight gag of the two most well-known female cast members doing drag, it felt cheap. Why not have Dismukes and, say, Kyle Mooney do something that actually reveals something about early dating?”

I mean we’ve had YEARS and YEARS of women on SNL getting no…

You have me suddenly thinking that maybe what the producers missed was leaning into an edit that foregrounded the utter flopsweat panic.

I watched the sketches on Youtube, and found them mostly funny, occasionally hilarious. ‘Word Crunch’, ‘Princess and the Frog’, ‘Old Home Movies’ and ‘Maid of Honor’ all got at least one out-loud laugh from me, mostly multiple LOLs. I’m a sucker for crude humor, so googly eyes on a penis pump and repeatedly saying…

they knew what they were doing when they made zoe say ‘momhole’ that much.

The McKinnon/Bryant teen boy scene was really sweet the first time. Shame it had to repeat.
