@ Why would they mention Trevor Moore? You know the US really did send chimps to outer space right? It’s not like WKUK came up with that concept. It really happened. So it’s two different takes on an event. The two sketches are completely different in tone and humor. In one, it’s understood the chimp isn’t coming back and the humor is in what a petty dickhead Trevor Moore is. Who is the petty dickhead in this sketch? No one. It couldn’t be more different tone-wise. It’s comedy is in how cinematic it is, mocking sentimental Ron Howard type movies and even Hidden Figures. WKUK sketch ends with Moore sending the chimp into the sun out of pettiness. This one ends with Mulaney happy that the chimp is going to fuck his wife. Both of those things are funny in completely different ways.

[@Eli_B3000]

@marioargiropoulos7555 Watch the sketch, it's beat by beat the same sketch with small additions and a different ending. The whole beginning, middle, and even the chimp name show you that someone lifted it. SNL is well known for this so it's not like it's the first time.

[@marioargiropoulos7555]

@ I’ve seen the sketch. It’s not beat for beat at all. Again, in the WKUK sketch it was understood from the start that he wasn’t coming home. The humor is that while some of the NASA people are sad about Bobo, Trevor Moore couldn’t possibly give a shit and even punishes Bobo with death by shooting him into the sun… simply because Bobo inconvenienced him when he showed up on screen. NOTHING like that happens here. The joke here is that NASA is treating this like the Apollo 13 disaster. The humor is in how overly dramatic it is and some of Beppo’s computer responses. Neither of these things exist in the WKUK sketch. The main guy in the WKUK sketch kills Bobo on purpose. In this sketch the main guy is happy to let Beppo fuck his wife. That’s not “adding” something. That is fundamentally different humor. One’s humor is in how mean it is. The other’s humor is in how overly dramatic and sentimental it is. It’s two different takes on an actual historical event. You could even say that SNL saw the WKUK sketch and thought “How would this be portrayed in an uplifting PG13 movie?”, and even that makes it a completely different sketch with completely different humor.

One of SNL's best skits in a while

[@an-qo6by]

Why the fuck did the make Beppo absolutely adorable

[@avidadolares]

A. How else would he get the girl at the end if he didnt have any rizz. B. They wanted all the people who cant distinguish reality from comedy to get all emotional over a comedy bit with a puppet....thats their little inside joke on those types.

[@elizabethpayne53]

The big eyes! That’s why all mammals as infants have large eyes - it triggers hormones that make adult mammalian brains produce empathic responses. Or so I’ve read.

[@LindaC616]

​@elizabethpayne53 neotony at its finest. But his eyes were so big, they were more orang than chimp😅

[@justins21482]

hahahaha and here I thought he looked like a monster. "You know the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, he doesn't seem to be living, until he bites ya and the black eyes roll over white"

[@SkyRadke]

RIP, Laika. Sweet space dog 💔

[@bekincai]

they sent a monkey too. Boris A chimpanzee who landed successfully on the Moon, but could not get out of his spacecraft due to a faulty hatch. Boris kept banging a wrench on the hatch until he eventually ran out of oxygen and died.

Those damn ruskys didn't even try to bring him home.

[@Jason-fm4my]

Props to the props department.

[@jgregveneklasen2657]

Props doesn't do puppets, that's its own thing they contracted to have built and performed. The scenery and props were excellent, too!

[@xXSHOCKCOLLARXx]

“Any last words, Beppo?” “help”😂😂😂

[@PaullyMiller]

One of the BEST skits in a long while. Mulaney always brings it.

[@SVNDAZE]

They stole it from Trevor Moore.

[@Cazu_Orddu_Medea]

Laika makes me so sad, I needed something like Beppo the Chimp. I would watch this if it was a long film too.

[@catinthekitchen1]

Me too, depressing how they let any animals die alone without comfort or food in darkness

[@adrianaslund8605]

That seems to be an orangutan. An orangutan baby actually. Orangutan babies are cute little guys, they kinda look like little tubby troll dolls in real life. Unlike chimps who are pretty violent orangutans mostly spend their lives just vibin.

[@AsyrnKhan]

I FRIGGIN' LOVED THIS! Beppo hit the buttons help help help too much hot scared...omg...😂

[@MattsManyHats]

I almost threw up 😂😂

[@thomasbland5450]

Beppo go home is heartbreaking. Im glad it worked out okay 😊

[@LycanLink]

Oh my gosh, Ego's and Sarah's hair looked so good! 😍 Also, Beppo terrifies me.

[@krazydevsfan73]

good sketch. reminded me of a WKUK sketch which had a similar premise but different overall storyline and humor.

[@Eli_B3000]

Watch the other one, it's all the same beats until the end.

[@EternalGalaxies]

What's that sketch called?

[@turnleftaticeland]

@@EternalGalaxies bobo the monkey

"If this damn monkey dies, I swear to god..." - Me, seeing the thumbnail.

[@omegax51785]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@9thLife11]

at the start, when he says "youre coming home" and beppo says, "beppo happy", the captions say "You're coming, Home Depot. Happy?" lol

[@joshdubrow6494]

2:56 I almost broke into tears right here

[@TheSunnydeni]

I was actually soooo relieved that this sketch had a happy ending

[@Molson-xg9hs]

This Hidden Figures prequel goes hard!

[@katiejohancen4505]

The whitest kids you know did this sketch very similar…

[@virobloca6424]

Not similar, but waaaaaaay better. This is just a bad copy.

[@k-popbiased1058]

this didn't make me laugh but it did make me cry real tears of sorrow for beppo

[@lpsoldier2938]

Why do I want Beppo to be a recuring character now? Like Beppo saves Christmas, Beppo runs for president, Beppo wins an Oscar.

[@ronpierson]

Fantastic direction and cinematography for a short. Love the dramatic dolly zoom at 1:06

[@aliciafigueroa2769]

OMG 2:52 SHATTERED MY HEART 💔…. I know its a video, but there is truth to this in a lot of ways 😢😭

[@Kimillions]

Now, THIS is the SNL that I've been missing 👏🏽😂

[@mortalclown3812]

Oh ffs I got tears in my eyes. Whoever wrote this, darn you.😂

[@canaisyoung3601]

It's a Saturday Night Live Midnight Matinee sketch (which just started on the Ariana Grande/Stevie Nicks episode), so Dan Bulla did it (there's even a vanity plate at the end).

[@JoeGariano]

This is one of the best SNL skits I've seen in a while. Added bonus is I can watch it with my kids.

[@CalamityCannon]

There's a special magic when a sketch makes whole teams of super skilled professionals put SO MUCH EFFORT into manifesting something so incredibly dumb

[@nicolecollins9896]

Oh my, my little pregnant brain could not handle that emotional rollercoaster 😂

"There was a NASA space mission that had a Chimp, And Beppo was his name-o. B-E-P-P-O! B-E-P-P-O! B-E-P-P-O! And Beppo was his name-o!" EVERYBODY SING!

[@alexandelsosa7718]

This goes to show that anything can reaonate as long as it's well written and just decently genuinely acted because i got too emotionally invested in this sketch about a fictional ape getting stuck in space.

[@Anaccount316]

I can't believe that Beppo was the bay harbor butcher all along!

[@michaelcastillo8625]

I totally busted out laughing….more than once….Great rollercoaster sketch….took me for a ride too! With Beppo

I literally cried I was laughing so hard at the ending

I loved Beppo the second I saw him.❤❤❤❤❤

[@FingersCrossedBeauty]

Really similar to a Whitest Kids U’Know sketch but glad they went a different direction in the end and added a few things so it wasn’t a direct copy lol
