I humbly request to see the cue cards for this sketch

[@EricaGamet]

BOWEN: [mutters in Bri'ish caveman] MAYA: [mutters Bri'ish cavewoman] SARAH: [mutters in Frahnch cavewoman] 🤷🏼‍♀

[@markwolfking258]

Good luck. It's in Welsh.

[@TheFroneyZone]

underrated comment right here folks...err sorry...bloody ace comment here innit!?

[@silasteacher]

Wuah? Unga bunga?

[@dendriche7227]

According to google translate, "Wuah? Unga bunga?" means "Wow? Flowers?" in Indonesian. The more you know :D

[@bt7521]

This was very old school roots SNL. Just silly and stupid, but extremely effective. Loved it!

[@shipshap2364]

At first the concept seemed incredibly stupid. By the end, I realized it was hilarious and incredibly stupid.

[@jamestk656]

I have to admit, I don't understand this sketch. They're all just speaking normal British to me. That's how all of my friends from Liverpool sound like.

[@clothilde1623]

Is that the East London part of Liverpool? 😂

[@nukerock2451]

As a British scientist, I can guarantee you that these depictions are 100% authentic. And for your information, "bloody 'ot, i'n it!" are exactly the same words I use whenever I arrive in Houston from London! 🤣 Brilliant SNL sketch! ❤❤❤

How are they able to replicate the different british accents so well while speaking complete gibberish?😂

[@Igaveyoumyfakename]

Because a thick British accent IS pretty much jibberish!

Prehistoric mick jagger is the impression I never knew I needed 😂😂

[@Ron-Ayres]

He's got his elbows in the wrong position though - seriously!

[@thatonegirlelaine]

I need for him to be a recurring character. But like mix it with Quantum Leap and let the hijinks begin!

[@JJVernig]

He was somehow still more sophisticated than Mick himself.😇

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

British cavemen is such an old school SNL sketch it was so funny i love it!

[@wd3987]

This feels so old school I love it!

[@euj0]

Mya probably wrote it

[@trevormiles5852]

it was my first time seeing it. or did you mean old style snl. Keenan always make me happy and smile just to see he is in that skit.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

If you are talking about unfrozen caveman lawyer, that was much funnier than this. Phil Hartman was one of the best cast members. Maya is also one of my favorites, but this skit just doesn't come close. I also think Ego is a good comedic actress and probably will (or should) be on a show at some point.

[@thezachman1]

It is right out of 1994-1997, it's the GAME WE LOVE, YEAAAAH

[@Mike-kc5ew]

This had glimpses of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. RIP Phil. 🖤

[@drew6699]

Cavewoman Heidi Garder was something i didn't know how much i needed until i saw it.

[@newphonewhodis2.0]

0:14 "....the whole Earth. Even the parts you don't normally think about". -Definitely written by Maya.

[@Somethingwicked91]

Kinda like a Monthy Python sketch almost. Less effortless, absurdist and more tame, but still, that's high praise

[@emillyyelen5169]

I am British and can confirm that this is 100% accurate. They perhaps have _slightly_ too many teeth, though... 😉

[@hellowendy1029]

Only Keenan could do that stiff upper lip face lmao

[@jillshort9241]

I laughed for many minutes after this was over. It may be the funniest thing I've ever seen on SNL, and I'm old. Don't know how it sounds to Brits, but it's close enough for us Yanks to totally crack up. And the Frenchie in the beret at the end is the cherry on top. Onh-honh-honh (if that's how you'd spell it).

[@UkeCan1]

Do yourself a favor and read all the comments - they're even more hilarious!

@@WorldNews92 If anything, it is the remainers who want to be stuck in the past and the traditionalism of the British identity. But as someone from EU, I have to thank you, since thanks to you, business moved out from the UK, into other EU countries, most noticeable France, so it was a win for us all. I for one, am not going to ever order anything from the UK again, if only because I will have to pay extra taxes if I would. And why would I want to do that, when I can order cheaper from another EU country? Good luck with isolationism!
