i love when they make fun of theatre/show business because theyre all actors that have certainly been through it and make fun of it so accurately

[@bentleyboy72]

how are they making fun of theater/show business?

[@cmcb09]

Teshura Rose it’s called a parody.

[@Bailey0316]

Have you seen the Crucible Cast Party sketch? It's so accurate it hurts lmao

[@stonewallperformance]

@@bentleyboy72 Definition of "Parody": an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

[@HakuYuki001]

For comic effect isn’t the same as making fun of. Definition: (Longman) ‘making fun of sb/sth’ To make unkind, insulting remarks about someone or something.

[@pm6129]

The dance leap off the stage after he sang “I hope I score a tackle for my team” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jskuddy]

Kenan singing "This is not what I wanted" gave me chills.

[@benm3983]

I watch this every year on the day of the Super Bowl and it gets funnier every time. Brilliant!

Wish they made full versions of the songs. Heck I’d watch an actual Super Bowl: The Musical.

[@kimbali77]

This is probably one of my top five sketches of all time!

[@freegameskidsteens]

i wish this were real lmaoo

[@pallmall5495]

The players are in their costumes gets me everytime.

[@ericaquint1895]

I love Melissa McCarthy’s song which is basically “throw the ball to someone who has the same color Jersey as you so you can win all the points”. This is my understanding of football

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

There is no understanding of football. It's idiotic, kills children, and overpays meatheads for running while holding a thing. It's not a ball. It's a .....weird, strange, thing ....,fk football

[@michael5876]

As a theater/choir kid I second this statement

[@conniemartin4878]

Taran sounds like every breathlessly earnest Sondheim hero ever. Fantastic.

[@AnnoyingAsianWitch]

He is musically trained!

[@vanyadolly]

The 'get the ball' song was brilliant. "You're tearing me apart!"

Within the premise universe: its admiral that, they wrote, rehearsed, and, made costumes on what was less than 3 hours notice.

[@roberthenleynola]

ADMIRAL???

[@koopatroopa187]

@@roberthenleynola Yes, admiral. As in stick close to your desks and never go to sea, and you all may be rulers of the queen's navy.

[@Fetidaf]

It's spelled admirable, admiral is high ranking Navy official lol But yes, I agree

[@IsiahTomas]

Generally speaking...

[@lemonteacore]

I love the implication that they had this ready in case of emergencies, along with the costumes.

[@ABRASILERA17]

DAMN! That was an actual musical lmao. Like legit. BRING TARAN BACK

[@1970boobear]

Daniela Galdino-Jolly OMG YES

[@mochs62512]

Yes!!! Why did they ever get rid of Taran Killan and Jay Pharaoh???

[@TheBlarggle]

@@mochs62512 their contracts were up, and I think Taran wanted to branch out to more entertainment and Jay left because his ego was too large for the show(for real, they thought they didn't use him enough and he thought he was funnier than anyone else.)

[@mochs62512]

@@TheBlarggle oh really? I didnt know that.

[@CanItAlready]

[@jonajager635]

I just like sports, theatre and music, and this sketch and 'Embrace me' are my favorite sketches.

[@MrDino1953]

I think you mean “all-time favorite”.

Holy cannoli, Kyle Mooney totally nails the late 20th-century stagey theater type. Kudos to the backup dancers, too! And to whomever came up with the name "Mama Pass."

[@rachelgeorge2098]

OMG I’m just now realizing she is not called Mama Cass (like the singer). Mama Pass is way better!

[@audreyl1787]

As a theater nerd, I honestly didn’t understand that there was supposed to be something wrong with this halftime show

This is how you teach us theatre kids sports

[@beestarjay]

I would watch a Broadway halftime show

[@roberthenleynola]

It's been done ... a long time ago. An early 70's Super Bowl in New Orleans featured Carol Channing at half-time.

[@amymesserschmidt2044]

I would pay good money for it

[@kaileykrantz]

Bella Jones- Maybe a Broadway medley...

[@shawnuel]

I would scale the stadium from the outside, jump off the top, and plunge to my death if there was a Broadway halftime show while I was attending the game.

I didn't see it as random. It seems to say: this was just as cheesy and pointless as Cats, and in the end all these musicals are interchangeable.

I'd like to see the complete musical

[@chimis807]

Is no one going to talk about Mr Mistoffelees at the end?

[@dutchess2121]

Genuinely my favorite skit of all time

[@dourecognizemefrom2014]

"All you need is wamp wamp" hahahahahahahahahha

2 things just real quick.. 1. I would perfectly fine with this being a legit super bowl half-time performance. 2. Why do I feel like that's how Michael Straham would actually react to such a performance? 😂😂

I love Taran so much because he's always so enthusiastic and gave 100%. He's my most favorite SNL comic so far...after him would be Sudeikis, Armisen, Ferrell...
