[@Klespyrian]

+Dennis Duncan Well atleast this character was mad at the people who made the food not the people selling it at the store. It's funny how often in retail the person at the register can receive anger for something they have no control over :p.

[@albundy6008]

+The Klespyrian totally!! people think the clerk has the power of God to control the universe if something isn't going their way!!!

[@eversocrispybacon6559]

+The Klespyrian Well in the pet owners mind they are because they purchased the product to put it on thier store shelves. But the fact is if they really cared about it that strongly they would buy specialty food for the pet, not go into a pet store and cause a shameful scene.

[@albundy6008]

EverSoCrispyBacon clerks don't purchase merchandise, they simply run the register and perform other menial tasks around the store unless they own the place.

[@louisefey9411]

Im subbed to you, kinda surprised to find your comment here haha

[@louisefey9411]

Bruce, these skits are written only a few days in advance. And the SNL actors have to do like 3-6 a week. It's unheard of for them to learn all their lines and everyone knows it =)

[@louisefey9411]

Well I am not American and SNL does not show in my country so you'll know better than I do! My knowledge is just limited to the current SNL. Though I am aware that their audience have noticed a drastic descrease in the quality since Ferrel, Carrey, Fey, Poehler etc :/ sad

[@EveCornwellChannel]

If you watch the ones they upload on this channel the actors are normally just staring at their cards, I was just impressed she wasn't :) and hi louise! I love SNL, even though I have never seen it live..hmm..(they should air it in the UK!)

[@louisefey9411]

I know! I wish they did, cos I know it'd be popular =) and Ceciley seems to be the best on the cast at the moment. Well, her and Kate McKinnon =D

[@CaryPohlhammer]

If this was like a movie, Cecily would have been nominated for an Oscar or something.

[@sha11235]

+Cary Pohlhammer What else is there beside the Oscar?

[@CaryPohlhammer]

+sha11235 Golden Globe, Bafta, Indie Spirit Award. I'm saying that her dramatization in this runs like a movie. And if it were a feature-length movie, she would have been worthy of receiving nominations.

[@sha11235]

+Cary Pohlhammer Well, the Oscar is the highest honor they give you for films.

[@kleeamd8274]

[@Hayri2011]

Same here at my store! Idiots falling for the latest marketing trend.

[@Hayri2011]

No, but that doesn't mean Purina is bad. Every single food on the market is nutritionally complete, so nothing is lacking. They have to be legally or they must state otherwise on the package. All the extras they brag about on labels are marketing ploys & there is no evidence they're needed to keep your dog healthy. There are dogs that do fantastic on Purina and dogs that don't. That is the case with every single food out there.

[@omintteao]

+Hayri2011 Dry pet food like Purina or Meow Mix are the equivalent to fast food for humans. It's not healthy for the pets like cats and dogs because they should be eating a raw diet.

[@Hayri2011]

There are dogs and cats that get really sick on raw diets. One size does not fit all. That's like saying all humans should be vegetarians.

[@omintteao]

What I mean by raw is fresh food. Like a meal consisting of meat but some vegetables. Dry food is like I said, the equivalent of fast food.Hayri2011

[@Coryalan2]

Your jaw fell OFF your face??

[@cheezyfilmsproductions1842]

I mean there’s a reason that great comedians are often the best dramatic actors as well. Comedy requires this sense of timing, line memorization, and infection control that translates to any form of acting. And the fact that drama doesn’t rely as heavily on those things is why a lot of dramatic actors can’t do comedy well. Good comedy is indeed harder to pull off than most drama.

[@e.keough2975]

I think she left Pat for Daniel because he didn’t care enough about Blue River Dog Food

Skit is somewhat based in real life in the sense that the more expensive petfood brands are often sold as the alternative to "the commercial poison you've been feeding your pet for years!", i.e. often coming with a guilt component.
