Gifts from Mom - SNL

[@AdrianColley]

"I'll send God a letter asking him to take me early." Kate has made a close study of Irish mothers.

[@Jorge23Costa]

My Portuguese mom does the same 😂 I love her gifts, but she is always lowering expectations before I open it

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

& Jewish ones ..

[@akopellk]

the same here with Kurdish mothers

[@BruinPhD2009]

She has managed to combine the passive-aggressive qualities of mothers across time into this archetype. And I love it. 🤣

[@Xenon-h9z]

Pretty sure that's all mothers.

I love how the father just whips unwrapped gifts in paper grocery bags at the guys while the mother's are perfectly wrapped, lol.

[@JacobBowling-dp8pl]

This makes me so sad because it's literally how my precious mother is. I need to hug her right now.

[@fitzofpassion]

My favorite part of this sketch is the accuracy of the narcissist husband undercutting everybody in the room and fueling the mom’s behavior.

[@OG_Wonder_Woman]

Totally accurate depiction of the covert narcissist Mom doing her pity party for attention and the malignant narcissist Dad cutting everyone down because he thinks it elevates him. The poor daughters!

OMG. Reminded me of so many moms who put themselves down even as they go above and beyond for family. Brilliant skewering. And hopefully gets some moms to realize they are being ridiculous.

[@sashasilva7066]

my mom is the exact opposite lol, she does something and shes like im the best mom alive. tbh she is so i cant really say much but it is hilarious to see how most moms do the opposite

[@kristinpenta]

This is obviously exaggerated but wow does it capture things well.

[@RaymondHng]

Chinese mothers do that. It's a cue for everyone else to say how great she is.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

You're right--I'm sorry for being so ridiculous. I'll ask god to take me tonight to spare you both my Christmas gifts and your embarrassment. :)

[@asdabir]

My mom is exactly like this and I am slowly turning into her

[@TrueWalker88]

This is a shockingly accurate portrayal of far too many women I've seen and their absolute sh*t for a deadbeat husband. My Mom also gives the most thoughtful and perfect gifts but can barely receive one. I also have the same name and appearance of one of those daughters. Eerily personal skit.

Kate has a master degree playing passive-agressive mothers since her first full complete season on Saturday Night Live.

This isn't passive aggression. This is extreme (narcissistic) self-loathing in a shame based personality.

Having Kate back is one of the best Christmas gifts SNL can give us.

[@Sweetmuffins0018]

Agreed. I knew I missed her and how empty and different it feels without her on there every Saturday, but I didn’t realize just how much of a void there is without her. I was hoping they brought back Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant for at least one or two sketches with her though. The ABBA sketch with her, Maya, Kristen, and Bowen was hilarious. One of my favorite things is watching them break character and Kristen lost it almost immediately, taking Kate down with her 😂

She definitely is! I told myself I wasn't missing the show tonight but was late and started with this. I was watching with my mom and we definitely could relate. You just want to give a little😂 something that you 🤞🏻 hope they like. If they hate it it might destroy you. You will dwindle into a state of wine and self pitty and thinking oh punishment ideas for yourself bc you're so horrible who didn't deserve your life anyway. It was all just an act. We are really trailer people with a PHD and 2 masters degrees but at our core we are trailer people.

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

Kate is so damn funny. She plays every role PERFECTLY and in the funniest way possible. Super talented lady. Also omg this video is so relatable. I too had a mom that liked to play the sympathy card ALLLL the time. Especially as a child. I can't tell you how many times she brought out the nursing home card lol. BUT, you know...moms get to do and think what they want, bcuz they had to give birth to, and raise our asses.

Look up Mad TV Inadequate Christmas Presents. It’s essentially this but 15 yrs older and much more daring with the scenario which pushes the joke making it really funny. This is the most sanitized remake of that sketch I could have imagined, the only thing that makes this relatively amusing are some of Kate McKinnon’s ad libs but again, Stephanie Weir played this same character 15 yrs ago and REALLY committed to the perfectionist mother who shouldn’t buy gifts. This was alright but weak sauce compared to the Mad TV OG.
