[@Alex-nh6zc]

The sheer inconsistency of real and stuffed cats is amazing.

[@monkeycigs4762]

What stuffed cats?

[@Abby-dr8vx]

i love how at one point jake gyllenhall is just holding a dog

[@CUStudioFilms]

I know. If Pickachu's got a red hat in one shot, he better damn well look the same in the next LOL

[@cicalinarrot]

That's exactly how I feel when Marvel movies switch from CGI characters to stunt doubles or from stunt doubles to model/actors who probably can't even run.

[@oraculox]

yeah!, what inconsistencies is he blabbling about!? @@monkeycigs4762 It´s rare to find a saga in filmography that manages to break the third person barrier with such grace as this one...

[@reveredkiwi6164]

This is what Cats should have been

[@oliverk.8312]

yessssss

[@haicoai6269]

Yes👏👏okzbin.info/www/bejne/amrapZmCfKmsfqM

[@derekseven1647]

This movie with Andy Samberg and Bill Hader in it would have made a Billon dollars easily.

[@Klaaism]

Sips from a wineglass, "It got a laugh, but did it get the right laugh?"

[@skinnyminny2629]

LOL

[@wanwo4930]

one thing I've learned about SNL: they have access to cats

[@canaisyoung3601]

And puppies

[@Moardieb]

Make this into a full motion picture and don't you DARE spend a single cent on increasing the production value. It's pure gold!!!!!

[@jonnnnniej]

I would pay good money to see that!

[@thepurpleshade486]

Moardieb i want a movie

[@katerocks82196]

Movie Exec: "Alright, corporate just called back, this the budget they gave you." Bill and Andy: "Two rubber bands and a string?" Bill and Andy: "NIIIIIIICE!" * high five each other in triumph *

[@joshuadennis7395]

I would sell my switch to see that heyaybe they could wear some SPACE PANTS

[@ehold6877]

You could do it yourself with friends you know? The production budget seems around maybe 200$.

[@souptart5284]

i love how in the first few sketches, they say they’re only making the films because people love cats and lasers, but then they keep making them even when they’re told it’s a bad idea and by the end it becomes clear that, no, this is just their passion project

[@SatanicGhostCat]

Even behind the scenes people said it was stupid yet they still made it, I love these too 😭

[@RavenclawNimbus]

And actually, only Lorne and that one other guy thought it was bad. They had Jake Gyllenhaal, Christopher Walken, and others and they were all completely on board! 😂

[@MelissaNgai]

6:39 I love how when Bill says "what the?!" The cat also looks up alarmed

[@rustinstardust2094]

Thank you - I'd missed that!

[@TheGenTatsu]

Lol Saw that too, came looking for this comment.

[@eIliehehe]

the cat's a paid actor

[@thatkippy]

This looks EXACTLY like something my sister and I would have made from 2006-2008. Glad to know our teenage selves were on the same level as these geniuses.

[@lavish_1717]

thatkippy Lmao same, I miss those teenage years 😭

[@youcrazycat1]

Try 1977..

[@user-hp5hk6jy3n]

Gets shot right in the chest and literally dies "Are you okay?" "Yep...That was too close" 😂😂

[@SirSoloSoul]

Dont ever scare me like that again.

[@KATE-ob6zk]

And when admiral spaceship gets shot he like dies

[@moua0067]

I love how normal ppl are walking around, working nonchalantly.

[@purplehayeshz]

“Andy....miral Spaceship”

[@berika2018]

[@libbywilliams9969]

I love how there's zero consistency over what cat they're holding at any given time.

[@heather937]

I love that Bill has used the knowledge he’s gained from being a film buff to good use, particularly utilising poor editing, dodgy effects and cheesy film lines etc. making Laser Cats a masterpiece. I love it so much.

[@alanasheehan5056]

Can you imagine being one of those people in Central Park while they shoot this? I’m jealous

[@benzaiten933]

I'll use 'time to reload' whenever feeding my pets from now on.

Not true.

These cats are tearing up the galaxy, lol --Christopher Walken

[@Soldmysoultorocknroll]

The fact that Andy samberg and Bill Hader went to Central Park in those costumes and threw stuffed cats at each other is just an amazing thought.

[@the_rebekah_leigh]

I love when one of them has a stuffed cat and the other has a real one for no apparent reason 😂

“This is Senator Dodd,” What a completely normal cameo.

[@ClaudiusPunchinello]

Whenever I hear "Senator Dodd", I can't help but think of the Draft Dodger Rag (even though that's a different, but related, Dodd).

[@irh1606]

THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED THIS TO THEIR BOSS... that is confidence... love them so much

[@sophiab6239]

The way that Amy set down the glass before falling made me laugh way too hard

word!! bill hader is magnificent! (I am just now discovering him for myself in 2023 due to my superfluous, 15 year break from network tv 📺 . thank goodness SNL has these videos available, years later! I've got alotta 🐈 CATching up to do!)

[@funnybunny680]

I love their constant use of toy cats and real cats! It’s really funny! And the laser puppy...so freaking cute!! 😂 ❤️

[@FirstNameLastName-rk3zg]

Laser cats is weed induced pure essence of inner child humor distilled through the brilliant minds of Andy and Bill. This is my all time favorite snl sketch. Second place is the californians

[@kristinjones6154]

I don't think it's weed induced...I think they're talented.

[@BenTheBeanYT]

Somebody start a kickstarter for a full movie

[@sorellana2154]

do it, Ben!

Kickstarter? A budget would actually ruin Laser Cats! Give them some aluminum foil, an iPhone 5 with a working camera, and a bunch of stuffed cats and let them go wild!
