You can see it in her face she’s so over the Wednesday dance 😂

[@atomicaftershow]

It's a skit

[@geraltofrivia4107]

​@@atomicaftershow She truly was over the dance but she did it for the fans and the skit.

[@atomicaftershow]

She was so mad while dancing that she turned the wrong way😭 I feel so bad for her

I'm sure she's fine. She had an opportunity to turn down the SNL script. You know that's what they do right? They don't spring it up out of nowhere

[@Equestrian_editz]

@@felix52282 i was joking lol💀

[@marikosusie]

Why would she be mad?! wth? the dance literally gives her popularity and the chance to host this dumb show... and what is shamefull about the dance? what annoys me is the song they always put with the dance, cause that is not the song from the show...

[@kshinokevin]

ahh, Carson Daly (formerly from MTV's "TRL (total request live)" and the late-night talk show, "The Carson Daly Show."). Jenna Ortega should do a film with Aubrey Plaza (the classic NBC sitcom: "Parks and Recreation"; the 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' comedy film series)

[@Vigillart]

LOL she doesn’t look very happy 😆

[@TombstoneBlues]

On the show she was dancing to the Cramps. Why is it that all of the meme dance things are to a different song?

[@everardocr8463]

Lo hace con una desgana, me recuerda al niño yo fui donde quiera que iba le decían haz lo tuyo, lo mismo pasa con jenna a donde quiera que va la hacen que repite ese baile una y otra vez, que como se ve ya le aburrió hacerlo

[@von2balurn]

Why do they keep using the Lady Gaga track for this dance? In the series the song was actually Goo Goo Muck by The Cramps.

[@patricksullivan2261]

What sells this is she pulls this off while doing the complete "I wish I was dead" facial expression. Comedy is hard. It is very hard. To nail that exact right tempo, phrase, or look is amazingly difficult.

[@chadr7522]

So dang pretty

That sucks for those “actors” typical industry

[@AzguardMike]

with her recent activity with quitting the M-SHE-U and many Disney projects over DEI and *The Message*, suddenly her look off "i f-ing hate these freaks" makes alot of sense.

[@Briguy1027]

Of course it's because she's very cute. If she wasn't cute you wouldn't be excited about her being a great and funny actress.
