Improv Show - SNL

[@jessicajnsm]

I love when SNL makes fun of anything related to theater because it's so accurate

[@Cracrayglitterbug]

It also gives theatre kids something to do during tech when their not at rehearsal because we can only think about theatre

[@canaisyoung3601]

Mostly because a lot of cast members got their start there, where it's improv or stand-up comedy (though they've also added people who do online videos, since Andy Samberg and his friends at Lonely Island became the first and most successful).

[@mikylawilfred8510]

The cast party one is so real

[@johnwhitfield8150]

This is actually based on a true person

[@averageleson]

Millenials in a nutshell.

[@kckasem3360]

A lot of people are saying this sketch isn't funny so I feel like very few people here have actually watched live improv shows. The good ones are great and the bad ones are exactly like this sketch right down to the creepy audience volunteer who makes everyone more uncomfortable and the plastered on smiles from the improvisers as they try and work around it. Good sketch imo.

[@kckasem3360]

You don't have to think about it.... sometimes things are funny to some and not to others, chill

[@kckasem3360]

***** ok thanks good to know your opinion, really changed my life

[@sosa484]

Guys guys! it's ok I have pen I have an apple :D ........... pen-pineapple apple pen

[@DarthMessias]

Ehm, who said that improv has to be funny?

[@dididylan-pena6597]

I'm thinking about joining an improv workshop to overcome social anxiety... wonder what will come out of that🤣 btw Kate Mc. looks like Jennifer Connelly's husband in this sketch...

[@laurennicole04]

I'm living for Pete's dancing in the beginning lmao.

[@suspirodelmoro1430]

YES! I was DEDDDDD!

[@skirmantasmikuckis6923]

I'm living for Pete

[@paulstarr9574]

Kyle is SO GOOD at doing the bad comedian. He’s done it a few times before.

[@Darlan_Ferreira]

@@CUStudioFilms maybe without the hair, it gives him a nerd vibe

[@hrpickens92]

​@@CUStudioFilms watch Brigsby bear. He's really good in it. also a funny heartwarming film. He also wrote it.

[@dirt4333]

_oh wow thats me_

[@jeffbyforddaltoncroasmun9422]

*looks at you menacingly*

[@dancershan]

I heard this in Daria's voice 🤣

[@Silverfox0488]

"What was this for??" LOL I loved those last lines, too!

[@scj6693]

me when i see my reflection in the mirror:

[@MegaMar20]

kate mckinnon has a ton of talent better than some academy winners.

[@PatriCoop]

sicunder kahn Agreed! If she pulls a Steve Carnell and starts doing some drama later in her career, I'm convinced she can and will one❤

[@hd-xc2lz]

She's never even played a lead role in a feature length film. And keep in mind that there have been so many talented SNL sketch artists that failed to make a career of film. Everyone assumed Dana Carvey would be a HUGE film star, didn't quite pan out.

[@rmoira6]

d ghostbusters

[@hd-xc2lz]

Hardly the lead in Ghostbusters.

[@160p2GHz]

Yea I almost couldn't get into this because her acting for a serial killer was so en pointe.

[@thesilentchile]

"Oh Robert, you did it again..." "Did what?" "Killed them all of course..." LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

[@etrnluv]

This is so eerily accurate. Kate really nailed Robert. Right down to the facial tics and his creepy raspy voice. "I have black eyes." 🦈👀 Yes, yes you do, Bobby. 😱 Reminds me of demon eyes on Supernatural. Also very accurate.

[@dofi7513]

She was doing the facial tics and it kept making me twitch bc i have that same tic hbhdajbnsj

[@arutlit62]

Aidy's outfit is so nice in this one!

[@kutestsnails7331]

Thought the same! So cute!

[@Frieslick]

The circus tent and catamaran sail combo?

[@DiamondEubanks]

Agreed!

[@ehgk89]

Improv is magic. Wish SNL could do an improv episode. So many of the players come from an improv background.

[@SherbetRocket22]

Kate is so talented!!!

[@suspirodelmoro1430]

Pete had me in tears with the wig and his dancing and just generally being Pete.

[@shanecadden7914]

Anyone else think she sounds like Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson) doing this character?

[@xenafan15]

LOL I did too!

[@JDCEO12345]

she's playing a real person

[@PowderHeight]

A little

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

Sounds more like Marges sisters

[@sophiamariebennett]

Yesssss

[@shaken_thesaurus2001]

It’s so hard to be scripted but act like it’s improv and they do it so well!

[@carmagurl317]

Pete and Beck's dancing omg 😍

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

I love how accurate this improv skit is even down to the people giving each other glad in the back like @2:08. Spot on

[@abbyh4815]

Just remember. The reason the cast is so good at improv skits is because they most definitely did improv

[@cowgrlbebop]

Kate reminded me of creed from the office

[@Tyler112272]

That was an amazing impression..she killed it, from the voice to the blinks and crazy stuff he said..

[@phoebeioelara6009]

I was lookin at Pete in the background the whole time 😂😂

[@monkeyman69np]

lol me too😂

[@traceburchart3582]

Her Robert durst impression is too good

[@asafupps]

“And I’m gonna catch you with my own two gorgeously manicured hands”

[@wyskass861]

And then become an insane propagandist for an insurrectionist sociopath. Natural career progression.

[@Mbeepyd]

When Robert came off stage did he say "what was this for?" Lmao!

[@Silverfox0488]

That's what I heard, too!

[@LM11116]

cecily's jeanine piro is quite different these days lmao

[@joeywaters5559]

Much calmer, and quieter.

[@mariuszkmzielinski]

Kate was f brilliant!!!!

[@stephanieann6622]

Mariusz Zieliński Just say "fucking" Nobody gonna judge you! You wanna say it so just say it lol.

[@ollieroberts5472]

Kate is a legend

[@michaelweston2285]

i like how they incorporated his chicken sandwich story into their act

[@asafupps]

“I see a small shriveled hand back there”

[@Widdekuu91]

Hów in the world is Kate so feminine and beautifull and can still be a dude multiple times in sketches?

[@memyself6659]

Acting.

[@softshadesofblue]

lesbian power

[@yuoma]

Jon Lovitz: ACTINNNNNNG

[@yoongicowboy6780]

Didn’t think this was that funny or remarkable when I saw it the first time as it aired but after finally watching The Jinx holy CRAP is that a spot on impression (I also thought they threw Cecily in just for funsies I can’t believe how far Pirro has fallen from once actually having a job)

[@elleeVee]

this sketch was made for a very specific audience which i happen to be a part of, 10/10 love it

[@lucybickerton4573]

This is so underrated

[@seanbyrd9164]

Kate MacKinnon is a fuqing genius.

[@Dr3amtime]

First time I saw this, I had never heard of Robert Durst, but I still loved the random darkness of it. Now that I've watched The Jinx, it hits even harder.

[@carolinelucia7455]

Lol their little dances at the beginning made me laugh.

[@notmn8210]

I didn’t even realize Pete was in this until a minute in

[@lobee77]

This was the absolute best cast

[@Vicky-pf1mw]

This brought forth deeply repressed memories of the 5 improv classes I once took that would always end in a free live performance. Why

[@ayyrar1770]

Pete's dance at the start always gets me😭

[@InYourNetwork]

This was, by far, my favorite SNL sketch.

[@simonhbrooke]

Sasheer is a decent actress and not at all unlikeable, but I can't think of a single time she's done anything funny or been allowed to play anyone funny. Is she a secondary part of the cast or something? I don't understand it...

[@kckasem3360]

I've seen her perform live improv and she was very funny and quick with the jokes, I do think she must be a sort of 'back-up' cast member or something.

[@dannydorko7075]

i think she's a pretty bad actress to be honest

[@CAKECO.]

@@dannydorko7075 she's not a bad actress they just haven't really given her anything of note

[@auroraborealis675]

Where was she in this sketch? Lol.

[@auroraborealis675]

Wait nevermind lol

[@neikaplay]

best character from kate except for the cat shelter lady.

[@MrFighting98]

Kate McKinnon is so talented

[@seidenschnabelfederflugel5441]

Kate was so amazing in this!

[@DravenGal]

Kate is amazing! I was part of an improv group (we mostly did Ren faires). But we did not do skits based on audience members lives, though they could give us suggestions. I kinda miss it, honestly. It was fun.

[@hellohappyvegan]

I was literally waiting & so excited for the whole improv skit. 😭😭

[@krisdevalle]

'I live right across from JFK'. Subtle line, full of genius.

[@o.t.]

2015 and there was a Ceily Strong impersonation of that crazy Faux news lady?! Well she has definitely perfected the impersonation.

[@economicist2011]

Ha, I think this one is more accurate, but I love the over-the-top balls-to-the-wall judge jeanine she's brought to the table more recently.

[@averywilson-hannah8111]

Faux? Crazy Nonsense News.

[@kimanderson2342]

@@averywilson-hannah8111 seems like you got angry😡😡😆🤣🤣... you're an uber snowflake because, in response to Faux news, you insulted the first "liberal" media outlet you could think of... definitely as delicate as the finest of Chinas.

[@PopBunny8899]

I cried while laughing...Robert you're killin' me. *winks in pun

[@jasonbertalotto2355]

Kate’s impersonation of Robert Durst is awesome.

[@aquablue1252]

This was hilarious to me and I had no idea Robert durst was a real person until reading a comment below, now after knowing that , this skit is absolutely genius....the part where he asked aidy for her address went right over everyone’s head , lmao

[@WdawgSmith]

I mean the impression was actually great of Robert durst

[@eriscyl]

The self-satisfied chuckle after joke hahahahaha.

[@Cracrayglitterbug]

Nothing is more chaotic then improv games in middle school theatre

[@zoeledwards6617]

This probably Cecily Strong first skit of her doing Jeannie Pirro as she hasn’t yet got her drinking tons of wine nor isn’t screaming at full volume.

[@AlRTa65]

love that they’re taking the piss out of stuff they used to do. makes it even more funny 😂

[@phoebetaber1827]

Aidy’s laugh at 1:52 makes her sound like a Disney princess

[@CAMZAB]

Kyle is great in this type of skit on am-dram or improv groups.

[@KelbyRoberson]

It's so great because all of them are actually professional players who have probably spent time in groups who did the exact things they are mocking hahah.

[@guyjohnson259]

"What was this for"? Genius.

[@nickdesmone]

This is one of the funniest SNL skits I’ve ever seen

[@jessicadodge444]

Sketch pitch: Pete Dancing just like that for 4 minutes straight

[@tonysmith4250]

Dawg! The dancing at the beginning 😂😂😂

[@ryanrobertson7218]

I feel like I wanted to see more of beck and Kyle.

[@Khemith_Demon_Hours]

Kate McKinnon would be perfect in a Kids in the Hall skit.

[@kap79]

Knowing how many groups Aidy has been a part of makes this all the more enjoyable.

[@troutmask6800]

I saw a second city show in Chicago recently, and the start of the sketch where they’re dancing around is exactly what it was like (and they also did it during breaks between sketches)

[@roybenari]

This is probably the most random thing to ever come out of snl

[@carlycampeau7854]

I did Improv a while back...this is very accurate.

[@dharmallars]

My mom is a true crime fanatic and i feel like it's my duty as her child to show her this

[@WarisMalik-lo3gj]

Man, those expressions... Kate is a goddess..

[@srilakshmir5927]

more bob durst impersonations please!! This was gold!!

[@Rcity2332]

Pete’s dancing in the beginning 😂😂😂

[@adrianglory8083]

Marry me Cecily

[@Lanwarder]

Holy hell the dance when they show up...It's so ridiculous and yet so true

[@prothoroe5817]

she killed it as durst!!!

[@jocimaraj2.0]

I like Aidy's outfit! I want to wear it just like her!

[@andrewaguilar6877]

I watched this and realized I never watched the Jinx and was definitely not understanding some of the jokes so I immediately binged all 6 episodes and then rewatched the sketch. 10/10 would so again because holy hell that shit is crazy lol

[@EatSleepEmpire]

The few seconds Kate brought that character to life was worth the whole sketch.

[@Daniel_Delayne]

2:30 Cecily's basic instinct😍

[@Yamidoragon]

Kate’s anxiety blinks are so accurate it triggered mine -.-

[@neuroling]

You know an improv show is always 100 when the dude walks like an Egyptian...classy

[@noahcallaway7574]

*FBI OPEN UP!!!* *THIS IS MICHAEL SCORN...*

[@grapejuice3988]

I love when snl does theatre kids because all the actors were theatre kids

[@starcloud_er]

I lost it the second kate started talking

[@bremay4036]

Who remembers the Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze Chippendale’s tryouts!? 😂😭😭 Chris Farley was always my favorite, now it’s Kate McKinnon. ✨

[@bangfangbang]

she's so good at the impression

[@collheartsunicorns12]

wow Pete was so good in this sketch

[@over8124]

I swear Kyle writes all of these theater sketches

[@charlesfrederick8567]

I honestly REALLY want this character to come back.

[@vollmond9342]

Most adorable Robert Durst I've ever seen

[@TobyIsAWoman]

Kate deserves a spot in the snl top 10

[@kingayy9267]

Isn't she some ridiculous vaccine denier now? Looks like she went downhill after Durst's death.

[@gaiusjuliuscaesar7761]

Wow, Kate is seriously talented

[@bodegacat204]

is kate giving every evan peters character ever to anyone else or just me haha

[@lipsachhotray1021]

I casually come back to watch this sketch for Kate McKinnon.

[@taimatsuko]

This sketch is gold

[@Ellier215]

Best sketch ever!!!!

[@addyturner7546]

As an improv kid I can confirm that improv kids act like that.

[@SysPoppy]

spot on Robert Durst impression

[@bryanmdwyer]

I appreciate the Wegmans reference ar 1:50. Wegmans is also used as the breakroom food brand in The Office. Best grocery store in the country!

[@annasted9365]

FACTS! looking for more wawa references too
