[@ItsMxJess]

There goes SNL's visual effects budget for the year.

[@anonymousanonymous7593]

Prop budget*

[@robbalke6535]

Jesse Horvath that was actually funnier then most of the sketch

[@canaisyoung3601]

This was on the penultimate (next to last) episode of season 39. That's when it usually gets used up.

[@aerojockey]

They didn't even have enough money for two whales.

[@johnedwardcabrera4559]

Yup.

[@akiraperu1]

directed by quentin tarantino

[@iris6068]

+Dussan Cueva Torres Hahah it's a mix betwen quentin and michael bay

[@canaisyoung3601]

Tarantino actually guest-directed an episode. Not this one; the one hosted by John Travolta (season 20). Tarantino also hosted (in season 21).

[@kdub1242]

If my help is not appreciated, then lotsa luck, gentlemen.

[@Splanch]

This is what inspired Cuties

[@drchipmunk3247]

Not enough feet

[@bocowan9106]

“I like Daren, he’s the only 23 year old that’ll talk to us 13 year olds” “Wait....what.”

[@nevaehlheaven]

OMG, not, "wait what?!" But "WHAT!!!"

[@interior.imperial1]

They're making fun of the fact that in 1950s and 1960s movies / music / TV shows, the girlfriend is usually a teenager and the man is like in his 30s / 40s. Just look up the music of Neil Sedaka, it's pretty shocking.

[@ReductioAdAbsurdum]

You got the joke. Give yourself a hand!

[@helenburke1194]

Yeah, in the 60s...that’s definitely not something that still happens...

[@Rikard_A]

"What"

[@andresmvc112]

I love how awkward this sketch was, you could feel it, then the whale exploded and it was great 😄

[@basiabasia3387]

yeah, because you think that whatever SNL plays should be funny!!!!

[@commandercaptain4664]

The rare case of misdirection. SNL skits tend to drag a bit to the ground from the get go, but now SUDDENLY WHALE EXPLOSION.

[@tokento91]

I knew it was going to explode but damn I still cracked up when it did hahahaha

[@Autmmm]

right?!

[@freedapeeple4049]

and you can actually watch it more than once and still get a laugh

[@anthonymiller4295]

Gretchen! Stop trying to make science happen!

[@Kopal_Spectra]

That's sooo fetch!

[@pauljohnson591]

+Anthony Miller GRETCHEN: Science is actually pretty cool. GADGET: No it's not Gretchen. You ruined your own summer, don't ruin ours. Gadget was still smiling that whole time.

[@celestelosey8835]

[@destinyhoyt9153]

hahaha

[@sstaners1234]

I don’t think they know what they are saying. Then again.

Ew, but at the same time, lol.

sadly the truth 😝😝😝

***** Gretchen.

[@joefreeman3087]

I just love the ladies of SNL. They’re all such versatile actors and can just make you laugh in an instant.

[@WadeMcLure]

I was like "where is this going?" and then the whale exploded... LOL!

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

You and 13 other people astound me with your low intelligence.

[@milasyt]

Event Horizon Productions​ you realize that when you accuse someone of having "low intelligence" for having a different sense of humour, you sound just as ridiculous as someone who considers people dumb for liking Mushrooms just because they themselves don't like Mushrooms. If you didn't think it was funny, that's perfectly fine. People find different things funny. However, you have absolutely no authority to call someone else stupid for having a different comedic taste.

[@milasyt]

Event Horizon Productions does calling other people stupid make you feel superior? I was also referring to your other comment here, but okay, why did you accuse this person and everyone who liked the comment stupid?

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

Bobby K no it doesn't. And just because you have ADD and think/expect everyone else to be able to read your mind because you're the center of the universe doesn't mean they can or will. If you're going to cite or reference something, anything, outside of what is already being discussed, you have to ummmm, say so? Try it out, it works wonders!

[@milasyt]

Event Horizon Productions I'm not citing or referencing anything other than your calling this person stupid. I only brought up your other comment to explain why I assumed THAT was the reason you called this person stupid. Now can you tell me why you did in stead of resorting to hostility and personal attacks? These situations can be handled with mutual respect and common decency.

Bikini Beach Party: A romantic rendezvous at a 1960's beach party goes terribly awry when Darren (Taran Killam) suggests that Gadget (Charlize Theron) meet him for a kiss by the dead whale. #SNL #SaturdayNightLive

Ew the whale exploded like... BOOM

This bit had me rolling

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Favorite bits of this amazing sketch: Vanessa's awesomely vacant smile. Kate's "expanding... with gaaaas." Cecily's eye roll while talking about "us 13-year olds," and her "shut up, Gretchen." Nasim's mesmerizing dance moves. Aidy's sincere science explanation and her "I had Scarlett Fever" reply before the pause and frown of dance continuing." Charlize's "don't ruin our (Summer)" reply and her fantastic reaction to being bombed by whale guts. True professional.

[@pigrabbitfriend]

The song Taran's singing is actually quite good!

[@alisasinoran369]

What is the name of that song? I Really like it

[@ez99xxx]

I love how its called Bikini Beach Party even though everyone's wearing one piece swimsuits

[@hjutko]

[@milesandemilyrock]

They are meant to be 13. and in the 80's which is when this was meant to have taken place, those would be considered fairly revealing.

[@MargaretandMollys]

The 80s... Hahaha

[@8aba_Yaga]

milesandemilyrock the 80's? what are you, stupid?

[@milesandemilyrock]

Yes I am, but that's besides the point.

[@guangyang109]

Taran killam is handsome and in good shape.

[@copycattear3824]

Seemed like Kate was having real fun dancing there. Cute.

[@gobbleswells2883]

"Darrens so dreamy. He's the only TWENTY-TWO YEAR OLD who will even talk to US THIRTEEN YEAR OLDS!!" "Hey, guys umm is it ok if we,like, stop dancing while we talk? Cuz its so hard to do both, you know? "Ahaha, shut up, Gretchen!?"

[@danidakota276]

Are you trying to translate us what they were saying, like we are all idiots, except you????

[@gobbleswells2883]

+Dani Dakota, no, just paraphrasing what I found to be funny...Why are you so butt-hurt as to assume I was interpreting something you couldn't understand that you,too, obviously heard with your own ears? Are you THAT concieted to think the universe revolves only around you and I'm TRYING to insult you, who I HAD NO IDEA existed before you replied to MY COMMENT? HERE, I'll play my little violin while you reply....

[@tinajeppesen5948]

I don’t understand people who give other people shit for repeating the parts they liked in the comments section. A) what else is a comment section for if not to comment on what u liked or didn’t like about the video. And b) why be unnecessarily rude to people just don’t like their comment,,,,it’s not like it’s an offensive comment!!??

[@simgem]

Kenan mentioning ambergris quietly enough that only people who know the word would notice is why we love this show!

[@rafa4424]

taran is a genius! I love him on SNL. and this made me laugh so much.

[@annieoddo1475]

I don't see what all the whining is about. I thought the exploding whale combined with taran killam's tacky ukulele serenade was pretty funny.

[@pjbmo5930]

Because you are a dumb ****!

[@annieoddo1475]

ok.

[@garrettdykes]

It was great. Don't listen to what that jackass said. You have good taste in humor.

You could see the buildup for that punchline for the entire skit, but it still killed me. 😂😂😂

I love how you can see the top of the whale expanding, so it draws your attention to that part of it, and then suddenly the side blows out. Classic.

For those of you under age 40, for some kicks you gotta check out the "beach" movies with Frankie and Annette. They are so cheesy, but so fun to watch.
