[@27DJMA]

Props to the interpreter for managing to SOMEHOW sign everything clearly and correctly with only 8 fingers and gloves the size of beachballs

[@maryheer1068]

Exactly what I was thinking - how did she sign so well with the gloves!!!

[@amerrymary]

thank you!!@@maryheer1068 & @27DJMA I appreciate the support and kudos 😁🤟

[@sakuranovaryan9261]

Lmao that was so impressive

[@charlottedrew9714]

It’s not asl it’s gibberish

[@27DJMA]

@@charlottedrew9714 I've been fluent for 25 years. It's "muffled" because of the gloves, but it's clearly ASL.

[@rowelle]

Love that they got an actual ASL interpreter for this.

[@milo4492]

I know!! It was so cool!

[@davidballeh8978]

It’s utter gibberish btw

[@avidadolares]

An actual ASL interpreter? That was someone pretending to sign. it wasnt "an actual ASL interpreter" at all.

[@rowelle]

@@davidballeh8978 It’s not. I know ASL. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@rowelle]

@@avidadolares Are you stupid? I know ASL. And she is signing.

[@ashleytaveras9035]

"Maybe next time you'll support your union brothers when we go on strike!" My favorite line of the night 👏☝️

[@canaisyoung3601]

Are those WGA strike picket signs left over from last year, or do they just have them in case a strike happens?

[@matthewjames206]

Always support your union bros! 🍻

[@mattropolis7857]

Ah yes - there were some great opportunities for pins smashing it other during a 'peaceful' strike. :D

[@stquatro]

I love how the prop bowling balls are so light that you can hear them literally bouncing down the lane 😂

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I didn't hear them, but I could definitely tell they weren't real bowling balls by the way they moved.

[@avidadolares]

So you "love that"? Seriously? Its sketch comedy. Why would you even focus on that. What a weird and dumb comment.

[@lonelyone]

Jacob whipped those balls down the lane at 100mph

[@thejman3489]

They had no wax on the lane and it was probably a rubber Boling ball. We used to play with those in PE as a kid and it acts nothing like a bowling ball at the lanes. That's probably why we saw some crazy throws in the sketch.

[@Ktotheile]

Starting to think those dancing pins weren't real either...

[@chrisg220]

“which brings the number of total victims so far to- NINE” 😂 I love how each “animation” was more wacky and outrageous

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Bio Perine USD SGD

[@tamjac10]

I liked that one too! Especially the pin doing sign language 😂

[@babababad]

It sounds like the animations in the bowling alley were your favorite part of the sketch. Mine too!

[@HustonSingletary]

The sheer fact the prop department took the time 2:50 to create an extra large police cap for the pin is hilarious along with the great skit 😂

[@rbee1804]

@HustonSingletary I know, right?! 👮

[@virginiathornton]

And the grey mustache for the police chief was so extra and so perfect

[@user-rn9ij8rk5c]

I know that actor wearing the police cap. He owes me money, It's not easy being a struggling actor.

[@user-rn9ij8rk5c]

​@@virginiathornton: That was no prop, that actor Jerard Washington's grey mustache is real.

[@jerardwashington7390]

Thank you I was the police office lol

[@Lautnerfan415]

I like that Heidi gets type cast in these sketches as the girl who dates every host

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I think that might be her idea.

[@theNicholas2756]

Lol so she's for the hosts ☠️

[@chelseabradley3645]

If I was an SNL cast member I would also write myself as the girlfriend of every host

[@nilfux]

Bill Burr talked about when he hosted, and how he couldn't believe how talented she is.

[@DonaldBrice-qm9xh]

Heidi Heidi Heidi...

[@sincerelyJayD]

“I don’t want to find you with a needle in your arm, slumped over living in the gah damn. . . GUTTER” that brought tears to my eyes 😂

[@maggiestrasser9815]

I was a little surprised - one can say "god-damned" on late night TV, but not "fuck"?

[@ijustgottasay1281]

Well, at least it would be better than living in a van down by the river.

[@madilynch8067]

this concept is actually hilarious- the writers killed tn

[@allisonjohn6389]

The concept is from Corridor Crew! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInTdoeJpLOKrrs

[@Hippocrat3s]

Thank you!

[@steveconn]

Then back to 'Eldordi as sex object' sketches lol

stolen from Corridor Digital

[@molls127]

[@LawrenceAdams13]

The sign language interpreter pin had me dead I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

[@gigiblack2231]

Same 😭

[@immortalasirpa6006]

I'm not convinced either of them has bowled before, which makes the sketch even funnier.

[@willbecker3437]

Heidi born and raised in KC, big Royals and Chiefs fan. 100% has bowled. Midwest requirement.

[@DeafTourette]

The interpreter bowling pin interpreter was actually using sign language, believe it or not. I recognized plenty of signs. Like dead and others.

[@alexpreston5970]

Favorite skit in a while. laughing out load the whole time. great job everyone. the translator pin was the icing on the cake

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Yep, I was skeptical at first because this seemed silly as hell and the first two (6 and Spare) were kind of boring, but then it got hilarious!

[@AlyssaMonetMason]

​@@MatthewTheWandererI agree. This is funny

[@goofiestgal]

yeah the ASL interpreting was pretty accurate too it was great 😭

[@williamferguson8543]

This sketch was original, silly, and built on the premise in a hilarious way. Felt like the audience reaction was a bit weak but it plays well on KZbin!

[@AlyssaMonetMason]

@@williamferguson8543 Correct.

[@Airahar]

theres something so funny with how serious jacob elordi did their throws

[@blueturtle3623]

I'm hella impressed at the ASL interpreter with 4 finger gloves.

[@rachelbee1]

I love those bowling balls that change color magically as they hit the pins 😂

[@sparkythancztwise]

💯% 🤣

Mood balls.

[@waterierStone]

Someone at SNL watched the corridor crew video. They actually animated offensive bowling alley clips. It's funny to have them talk though.

[@absurdartist6346]

Yeah the fact they copied the concept is kinda sketchy

[@SirCaptainSteve]

@@absurdartist6346 not too recently there was a sketch that copied Joel Haver as well.

[@organizerbmo]

This has been a meme much longer than the corridor crew video, Outrageous bowling alley video animations. A famous one had school shooting where the shooter passed by one person for 'spare'. There's a subreddit dedicated to it. I think having a skit based off a meme archetype/template is fine since they wrote their own jokes and did it live. I'm sure if they got asked about it, they'd give credit to the meme and not act like they made it up themselves.

[@SirWrender]

@@organizerbmolol but that school shooter one was made by Corridor as well. It's all good though, they didn't "steal" anything.

[@bobbyhalick]

No it's not, it was a really fresh take on an obvious idea that's been done in different ways before corridor ​@@absurdartist6346

[@13blackcatzzz]

Omg. The ASL pin. 😂😂

[@PyrexInTheKitchener]

“I’ll just look in the trunk where I always keep a… road map!” 😂😂😂

[@nicolewise]

In case you are wondering, that was a real interpreter and accurate ASL. Epic.

[@Reflectors1]

Writers 😂you got a hit! I hope these character pins get renewed skits for future episodes. I can’t wait to see them again. Instant classic!

[@wo0d-cap0]

The talking bowling pins made it so hilarious! 🤣

[@Boomforce]

Yeah that's the whole bit?

[@T3H8]

it was the all the jokes that made it hilarious for me 🤭

Whoever came up with this concept is a genius.

[@ALMACHAR]

[@chriscalvin9367]

This skit was incredibly well done!! Great work SNL team

[@WonderWhatHappened]

The Sign Language Interpreting pin just put this in my top 10 skits of all time.

[@poolofjello]

This was my favorite skit of the night!

[@leefriedman3067]

5:07 omg love the pins dancing off for the next sketch...can't snl youtube videos show more of these?

[@michaelyuscavage5179]

I've bowled like five times in my entire life. If these bowling videos actually existed, I'd be forming my own league as a regular at the local lanes.

[@shahartley]

Hats off to the costume department for the bowling pin costumes.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

The pin's police cap in the "9" video is perfect.

[@jerardwashington7390]

hahahaha thank you i was the police officer

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

A sentient bowling pin doing ASL is not what i expected to see.

[@brainflash1]

4:02 His foot is NOT over the line!

[@RhangDao]

This isn't 'Nam Smokey. This is bowling. There are rules.

[@canaisyoung3601]

[@imchloe.g]

the fact they actually ASL interpreted the police public statement is so funny

[@jerardwashington7390]

Thank you i was the police officer and the skit was great

[@GreenGhostCommunications]

This almost feels like an early 90’s sketch. Writers nailed it. And Colin Jost and Michael Che always do a good job with Weekend Update too by the way.

[@hughmcaloon6506]

Hilarious sketch! The ASL interpreter took it to a higher level. Talk about attention to detail! Never heard of Jacob Elordi, though. Looked him up. Thought that he was going to be a sports figure that I hadn't heard of. Was surprised to see that he's an actor. Live TV can be tough if you're not used to it, I guess.

[@lydiatingey3773]

This is such a unique skit, whoever thought of this❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankd9945]

Corridor crew thought of it 2 years ago

[@tamjac10]

This is hilarious! The cast worked so well together on this. Best sketch in the show. 😂 😂

[@CapricornOnTheCob]

It's a funny sketch, but a lot of these are pretty similar to the Corridor Digital bowling pin animations that went viral. These are tamer, but still...

[@blahblahber]

Bro the strike one had me crying 💀

[@givenscommunications6307]

The funniest skit of the night. Each punchline was what they scored! Have not been to a bowling alley lately but this would be a pleasant addition to the action! I liked Split, Strike 9 and Stuck Bal, 9 and Foot on the Line!

[@graysonhester2955]

One of the funniest skits I've seen in a while. I'd give it as many stars as that killer has victims!

[@BibekShresthaRaj]

The sign language interpreter pin was really cute and hilarious.

[@ninamercado4064]

The "stuck ball" actually took me out

[@brycehudson6135]

I remember ABSOLUTELY DYING laughing on the couch, almost out of breath because of how funny this was

[@Hai_Lello]

Dope set!! Kudos to the team who built that.

[@HolidayCheerMister]

My love for Chole just continue to grow with each skit. Perfectly delivered. She's just a gem. You all are slowly figuring out how to incorporate her into the show more and I think her being the only one to receive claps is indication that it's working. I see a young Kate McKinnon in the making.

[@BEETVproductions]

I like the way they switch to a real bowling ball

[@homer3189]

i love when shows do this

[@nnn248nnn]

The fact that their bowling pin outfits are so... squishy adds to the hilarity. x)

As a professional sign language interpreter with twenty years of experience, I have to say that the third bowling pin is actually signing the speaker's words pretty much word for word. I am impressed!

[@kimcheelove]

the way bowen says "road map" when you're expecting him to say spare...😂
