Declaration Pitch - SNL

[@quadecaX8]

“It wouldn’t be for babies” was straight outta Tim Robinson

[@chrisdagoat3985]

yo what lol

[@prometheuszero9]

Lol Dude I thought the exact same thing! I'm glad someone else though the same thing lol Even like the hand gestures and the way he was speaking and his facial expressions. It was like he was doing a Tim Robinson impersonation

Oh wow If they had got Andy Samberg to do that cameo that would have been like totally bitchin.

Omg I totally read that in Andy's voice 😭😭

[@Son-of-Krypton]

Where is the map….Tell me….U bastards !

[@joshuagoslee]

that's high praise

[@LordEdegaru]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tjfm2456]

I feel like the writers aren’t taking themselves so seriously this season and it’s really working. The jokes don’t play out as excessively long as they did before and they’re actually cutting the tension with some silliness now and then. I know these sketches probably look insanely stupid on paper, but the cast is executing it flawlessly. If the rest of the season is this good, it’ll be one of their best seasons yet.

[@bhaskins2076]

No. That’s Jason’s brilliance

[@michaellucejr.6374]

Yeah I’m loving the show it’s just really funny and full of heart

[@user-ip9ru1os3o]

YES. It's so good to see everyone being purely, perfectly silly. SNL's best sketches are always the ones where it either seems pointless on paper or where things just go chaotically off-kilter (Super Showcase Models, anyone?)

[@michaelmarks9002]

Yeah this whole episode was great.

[@j_a_m_e_s_]

Idk. The first episode was pretty lame. Then the rami Malek episode was pretty meh. But the worst part of this season , is that they put that Asian guy on multiple skits just to dance with music on and be very gay. I guess some people could find that funny the first time, maybe, but not over and over and in different sketches.

[@rodclint3702]

The delivery of “people are PISSED” was truly perfect and I love the character breaks 😂😂

[@succpranos]

everyone’s delivery was so on point in this and that’s including the two immediate character breaks at the end

[@LotsofLisa]

They barely got one word out. 😂😂😂

[@ragreen2]

To be fair, it is almost impossible to play those lines straight on live TV ... with a dozen or so takes, maybe 😉

Aidy is such a scene stealer. I think her and Kenan are the most reliable when it comes to making a quick impression/laugh in a sketch.

[@margaretpeabody243]

Jason does so great at these assertive leadership roles.

[@rachelrachel9152]

Yeah, i feel like his experience in his snl career was often very supportive, many ppl have mentioned how hes an expert in stalling, he knows how to say his lines clearly and in such a way that it really props up the next line. He knows how to work the lines he gets even if they're short

[@TheNN]

That's right folks, America, home of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and sick-ass treasure maps.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

I think maybe we culturally appropriated the sick-ass treasure maps... like, from the Scottish? Or maybe the Spanish. IDK. Stealing/rebranding is kinda our thing... much like sick-ass treasure maps! ;)

[@ZeroShadow1998]

Anyone else has this strange feeling that guy is somehow Nick Cage’s Ancestors?

[@jgbuatu]

People on Reddit thought the ending was weak on this one, but I don't know... Aidy sold it, and the complete randomness of it was fitting. I loved this sketch. Thought it was easily the funniest of the live sketches in the episode. Andrew Dismukes is such a solid player. He's not the kind of cast member that anybody's ever going to talk about, but he's just one of these guys who never breaks and is always on point with his character.

[@arieluv615]

I was let down by the ending actually. It felt really abrupt

[@violetedge83]

When saying "sick a$$ treasure map" and " b0mb a$$ treasure map" Andrew kinda sounded like Andy Samberg doing a Nic Cage impression 😂😂😂🖤🖤🖤
