Awesome Snl

Whether you live in New York City or have visited, you know that for as much as the city seems simple to navigate, it can also be confusing. In this amusing SNL animated short, two explorers (Bowen Yang, Michael Longfellow) lay the haphazard groundwork for Manhattan’s master plan.

Saturday Night Live is celebrating 50 years of laughs and music. This coffee table book from resident photographer Mary Ellen Matthews showcases some of the many fun-filled photos she’s taken of hosts and musicians over the past two decades. The book features more than 200 portraits and behind-the-scenes images along with a forward by Lorne Michaels.

Instead of debunking another intentionally deceptive video, Captain Disillusion takes a look at a strange visual anomaly that people noticed in a 2024 Saturday Night Live sketch. For some reason, the artwork in the background of the scene had to be rotoscoped and replaced in post-production, and Captain D. wants answers.

“I’ve been itching to do some snitching, I’m in my kitchen, listen to my conditioning, and then picking up that phone.” Andy Samberg visits his old stomping grounds to sing a song with Saturday Night Live host Charli XCX. It hardly matters what the song is about because the beat, the melody, and the video are too well done to ignore. Here’s the uncensored version.

A young janitor shows hints of brilliance. And loads of stupidity. This Saturday Night Live skit is an obvious parody of Good Will Hunting, but it’s also really just a roundabout excuse for host Bill Burr and the cast to say “barf” in the thickest of Boston accents. If this was too gross, Billy also had a genuinely sweet skit to wash this one off.

It’s 1962, and NASA has just sent a monkey into space. But just as Beppo the Astro-monkey is about to return to Earth, he gets some bad news. This hilarious short turned up on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live with host John Mulaney as the mission’s flight director. From writer Dan Bulla, the warped mind behind 2022’s Meatballs sketch.

This week’s Saturday Night Live featured some hilariously warped sketches, including this one featuring guest host Nate Bargatze as a golfer who just can’t seem to get a break during a charity tournament. Hungry for more inappropriate laughs? May we suggest a Mile-high burger or some sushi?

If the entertaining trailer is to be believed, Saturday Night promises more laughs than all of Saturday Night Live’s 2024 shows put together. Directed by Jason Reitman, who cleverly has his finger on the pulse of the craziness, unpredictability, and volatile nature of the now-legendary live comedy sketch show’s unstable beginning.

Zoinks! Saturday Night Live and guest host Jake Gyllenhaal went completely off the rails with this parody of Scooby-Doo, making fun of the part where they rip the mask off the baddie, only to find it’s some old geezer under there. It’s the goriest sketch we can remember from SNL, but you have to remember this is the network that gave us Hannibal.

Seven years after Ryan Gosling’s character struggled to comprehend the use of the Papyrus font in Avatar, the troubled graphic designer thought he had finally moved on. Then, in an instant, he was forced to confront his demons again after seeing the logo for the sequel. At least they didn’t use Comic Sans.

“Jumanji is a series of jungle emergencies! And we, sir, are not prepared for that!” Kristen Wiig returned to host Saturday Night Live for the fifth time this past weekend. One of the episode’s skits sees Wiig refuse to play board games because of what happened in the movie Jumanji. And yeah, Beverly, we’re talking about the true Jumanji. Jumanji Jumanji.

“Why have a conversation when you can just… hit ’em with the belt!” SNL pokes fun at the sometimes cruel and odd sentiments that immigrant fathers have about their sons, all while doting over their daughters. Guest host Ramy Youssef did a good job, but Marcello Hernandez stole the show with his rapid-fire outbursts. Spanish dad rap goes hard.

If you’ve been to a bowling alley in the last few decades, you’ve probably seen those weird 1990s animations on the score screen that celebrate your strikes and spares and roast your gutter balls. Saturday Night Live takes us to a bowling alley with a few of those bowling pin scenes we’ve not seen before.

With the success of The Last of Us, HBO has proven that video games can be turned into quality television programming. During his guest spot on Saturday Night Live, TLOU star Pedro Pascal joined the cast of another famous video game franchise turned prestige TV drama, with a little help from Nintendo.

All of the intrigue, none of the foolishness. Saturday Night Live roasts The White Lotus. In this universe, the resort is operated by a black and latino staff, and they’re not taking any crap from the whiny, entitled guests. We had to watch it twice before we realized that guest host Aubrey Plaza was even in the sketch.

If you watch The Muppet Show, one thing you can always count on is an appearance by those grumpy old hecklers Statler and Waldorf. Well, in this sketch from SNL, Kenan Thompson and Keegan-Michael Key play a couple of security guards who have had quite enough of their disruptive behavior and look to put an end to it.
