"If Leslie Jones suddenly appears at the end of a sketch, acting vaguely horny and angry at everybody, it means the writers couldn’t think of an ending."~Tina Fey

[@AMReed8]

😂🤣

[@micku2216]

Did she actually say that?

[@kiertavasirkus]

Mic Ku no

[@rubensousa9216]

She did, check the monologue of the episode around the time Rogue one was released.

[@John_C_J]

Seems legit.

[@nicholasellis2779]

"GET READY *hangs up phone *" was the best part of this XD

"You made a whole song. Then you sang it. I hope you're proud of that at least" Perfect downer

[@mxrcvrii]

she sounded like Siri when she said that LOL

[@danuk2136]

4:09 taran looks like "holy crap did I just make Vanessa break"...the way he sings is hilarious!! Tarans so underrated .he made Vanessa break nearly the whole way through

[@MegaCMalta]

I feel like I shouldn't have enjoyed this one but, somehow, I did.

[@bIowangeI]

Same....

[@youdontneedtoreadthis]

hahaha ikr

[@sandramorryssa]

YES. 😂

gaAAAAh

[@aiberlane3390]

It's an intentionally awful song, but Taran put his whole heart into singing it, and you can tell he's genuinely good.

[@nadecha5326]

He was definitely a rare gem on snl

[@MarkLipka]

Stop it.

[@Chetloore]

I like pudding

[@buckycore]

This song is dope.

[@griffinjensen7123]

This is genuinely one of the most confusing and abstract sketches ive seen and SNL has made some weird shit...true absurdism.

[@dannydorko7075]

i think that's why i really like it. my kind of humour.

[@j.r09160]

It's a sketch about sycophantic behavior

[@SDXStudio]

I'm always a fan of these cut for time/end of the night sketches, but I love when I go down a SNL rabbit hole at 5am only to find nonsense like this and it just makes me giggle.

[@Chetloore]

@@j.r09160 huh?

[@Chetloore]

@@j.r09160 not the word but a full analysis. Looked it up and honestly I am still a little off. I would love for this to be the example and my learning opportunity.

[@TheHotnessIsHere]

"Oh, I'm not. He forced me."

[@oreoqueen5795]

Right... like since when was rape funny?

[@Vanessac]

yeah its not funny at all

[@jadedandbitter]

+Professor X since a monkey raped a frog. Or when a walrus raped a penguin; snoop's commentary on that one makes it even funnier. Oh, also when Sarah Silverman did her version of "The Aristocrats". (I couldn't breathe for minutes after- never has the line "Joe Franklin raped me" been funnier) And then there was the Dave Chappelle bit at the laugh factory where he was talking about men getting raped, also hilarious ("just gotta walk it off- caught me slippin!") Actually, there's a lot of times rape has been not just funny, but downright hilarious.

[@ruchak4960]

That was my favorite part LOLOL

[@tiqueholl8899]

Who knows, maybe they pulled a cue-card last second, that joke might have been much worse...

[@Phi1618033]

If anyone were to ask me what an eternity felt like I'd just link them this video.

[@yuptoni]

+dlarremore omg i read your comment as soon as kenan said that 😂

[@myJDside]

This sketch is hilarious! I love how Vanessa and Taran always seem to have fun when they're together. Vanessa cracking up is my favourite

[@offbeat65]

The song must be about her, in fact.

[@VintageRose75]

So rare: -three cast members who hardly EVER break, can barely keep it together -the guest host is able to keep it together until the end -Leslie actually remembered her lines, and didn't break herself Those who don't get it....ease up. Some of us like completely absurd humor. The crazier it is...the more funny it can be! 😜

[@ChristiaanIngram]

Yep 100% correct on this one. I was most surprised at Leslie not messing up her lines!

[@VintageRose75]

I like how he didn't break character even when he was singing that ridiculous song but then couldn't keep it in at the end. Also, awesome voice by the way. I enjoyed that song a little too much😂😂😂

[@k.wheeler4449]

Agreed. Ha, it was actually a pretty decent song lol...better than some of the trash that some artists have out there on the radio 😅😂

Ariana Grande's face, when she heard him sing😎

[@CityQueenChili]

Kenan yelling “GET READY!” into the phone is where Vanessa irreparably broke.

[@JillKnapp]

As a voice teacher, it’s so clear how freakin’ trained Taran is. He makes these little subtle voice jokes that only trained singers get… like his freakin’ placement of his last note… holy shit, I’m **dying.**

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

I actually enjoyed the song

[@collinrymer424]

This ended up being purely hilarious. I am surprised they didn’t air this. When I laugh out loud at an SNL skit, they have done their job-regardless of how absurd or nonsensical or poorly written the sketch was. 😂

[@crazyleg2006]

Really miss Taran .... sucks it didn't work out to keep him longer.

[@Rigspelt4ever]

Kenan's "GET READY!" killed me, and then Vanessa started losing it.. 😂

[@KawaiiNecronomicon505]

Taran almost never breaks character, so to him do it was the best thing ever!

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Taran is a great singer. Since he studied and trained music professionally, I want him to put out albums. This was enjoyable and funny.

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

Why am I obsessed with this sketch. I feel like this is the SNL version of a super Mario bros. legendary bonus star that only few will discover, but will cherish forevermore ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@gannon3578]

My smmmmiiiiiiiile too big for my face

[@smokejc]

Vanessa breaking is the best thing in the world.

[@tanasis55]

This is the first time I see Vanessa losing it lol :D

[@williamogden1017]

Watch one of the Fred Armisen sketched she breaks in that one

I first saw her break in the Californians sketch

[@dannydorko7075]

Genuinely one of my favourite snl skits. Also, I feel like taran is underrated.

[@lizlemon3698]

“I love how long it took” That’s the best passive aggressive line I’ve ever heard

[@Kim-pf5it]

I love how none of them could hold a straight face

[@alisky8551]

There was something so dark about this skit. I love how they all break at the end.

[@loverboi114]

I love how all four of them couldn't keep it together and started laughing but kept in character

[@Chalu.Official]

"also Greg, you wrote a whole song and then you sang it." Nice way of saying you suck broski. Lol

You wrote a sketch, and people performed it, even if it didn't get on the air... good for you!

[@tiqueholl8899]

It'a all about Teran Killam!!! He's pure gold in any sketch he's in, Kenan could have nailed it too, actually almost any of the major cast members, but good choice for Teran on this one.

[@angeldavis9921]

The song was so awful, it was amazing!!!! And his expressions while singing it makes me giggle....like a guilty pleasure.

[@Kostadin_Arolski]

I lost my breath of laughter. It was a hillarious weird song.

[@umaroxp5207]

IMO any skit that relies on breaking in order to be funny is just a bad skit. I mean it's hilarious when they break, but still.

[@connorhein5532]

[@COMMANDRofAWESUM]

Do to copyright issues, they can parody copyrighted material like The Sound of Silence, but they then can't post it later ... especially if they use the music

[@AryaArcana]

Cause they need to pay the director of sound of music to post that sketch and that guy is dead

[@jamesrideout123]

This is one of my favourite skits. Vanessa Bayer is a smokeshow. I love how they are all just dying by the end of the sketch.

[@ranessance]

For those who would like to sing along because what else are you gonna do during a pandemic, here is the lyrics: I would hold her As the smile is spiring across her face and body Her lips curled oh so gently at the corners It was her smile As big as warm Or maybe Paris Whichever city is the biggest That would be it 'cause her smile took up her face It was a big one It's all your smile Oh wouldn't she smiled I would tell her That I liked it when she smiled 'cause it was massive Then she smile and look at me and say: "You are lying, my smiles too big for my face!" There were times when I would see her in the kitchen drinking water She look at me between her sips of water And I ponder Colossal smiles But I knew then That her smile was incomplete unless I held her Then I sweep her off her feet I would wonder... If she would smile that bookie smile? Then on days when I would see her running by and try to catch her She would look at me like "please I'm on a mission" But then she smiled And it was large Yes, it was large! Her smile was large! It was so large!

[@jamesakin]

Taran's pronunciation makes it sound like "warm," but I think the last word of the first verse is "Rome." That sets up the Paris comparison in the verse that follows.

[@ranessance]

@@jamesakin The fact that you listened to this even more closely than I did, respect sir 🤝

[@77Creation]

@@ranessance First verse ends with, “It’s all you saw, oh, when she smiled”. Large up for typing it all out. 🫡
