Charades with Mom - SNL

[@olivergarrick1175]

Ariana's subtle facial twist of anger during the sketch was so good imao.

did anyone else get the vibe she channeled the great Mary Tyler Moore from an old movie called Ordinary People and few other greats and has the same gift on stage Mary Tyler Moore did?

I get that, sort of. Think it would have been funnier had she said it correctly from the jump. The cute passive-aggression would have been even more pronounced had it not been mixed with the 'oh shit, Ariana just messed up a line'.

[@jameslarimer9211]

I don't get how it's passive agressive.

I feel like that probably was the actual line. Like maybe she was supposed to stumble over the metaphor as the character in order to make it feel more lighthearted for the charades game
