The daughter smiling through the whole thing made this priceless. She must have loved not having to cover a smile through this sketch.

[@Nightmastercool97]

No Collins in this skit brings off a Louis from Malcolm In The Middle if she went to far and forgot to take her medications.

[@arkhamasylum7088]

I love dot. She is soooooo hot. Omg.

[@arkhamasylum7088]

I don't even know her name but I love her like dot loves her gloves. Or how the babysitter loved the dad lol. She is the best

[@KanishQQuotes]

I know a few children where the parents hate each other, yet they always present them to others like this amazing, lovable, perfect family. I feel this type of denial maybe some sort of coping mechanism

[@ABC4475]

She is enjoying a show~

[@kennyhenry4039]

I still can't get over how she can yell like that.

[@makmoncman8720]

Right? I can't even yell like that when I'm real angry.

[@haofu1987]

that's some pure vocal skill she got over there...

[@blinkersbonk417]

Honestly, this reminded me so much of my parents. They got along great until I was about 14 and then they acted like they hated each other and made one another's lives miserable but refused to get a divorce by thinking they were doing the family so favor by staying together (and forcing us to live in a warzone). This clip was hilarious but you can tell it had some real-life truth to it.

[@magnusgranskau7487]

That happened to me too. Looking back at it now after they got divorces when i was in my late teens till now a decade later. I don't have a family anymore. I very rarely even met my mom or my dad with my sister together. And my bigger family i have t seen in some years because it all feels awkward

[@jamesanthony8438]

That table laughing was like watching Harvey Corman's reactions to Tim Conway on the Carol Burnette Show. =)

[@the1tigglet]

Yep he started off laughing and used that time to act like he was crying until he could come out of it.

[@twintwix123456789]

lmao she's also trying to stop the laughing! xD Listen to his laughing histerically at 4:06 then her Look at her struggle to get the attention away from her belly, trying to look up and focusing on the smoke to not laugh. Look at his hand, if he wanted to see the camera see him laughing he would let the camera see him! And for both of them to still continue after that, really awesome fun to see. Now I get the feel for what acting really is like.

[@GraveHorizon]

"A Caesar salad!? Lettuce, croutons, and dressing, in a bowl!!? Are you some kind of wizard?"

[@F4XYFox]

the fact that the girl was smiling the entire time her parents are fighting makes me really stressed out

[@JulianneHannes]

Because it's all she knows, crazy chaotic arguing is home to her, her parents yelling is her soothing ASMR lulaby. And she'll grow up to crave loud abusive instability, thus continuing the cycle that has circled around many many generations of her family, again and again, a tragedy old as time.

[@KanishQQuotes]

James Blackwood She is not amused, she doesn't know any better, cuz that's what she's seen always

[@chapterblaq]

kanishq ruhil I don't know. She seems to understand Debra's "parents" situation. So I can assume she understands her parents are doing the same thing.

[@KanishQQuotes]

James Blackwood She is in denial as a coping mechanism, cuz her parents are still "together" There was a dysfunctional family, in our extended family , with the parents were literally never spoke to each other, and you could feel them insulting each other through remarks, yet their children always talked about how their parents marriage last so long. Their son after his marriage ultimately got vocal

[@BadBoyBobby85]

James Blackwood all the people speculating on what the characters state of mind could be...my parents fought like this for eighteen years, by year 15 I was smiling too. At that point it just becomes a joke.

[@zerosaber257]

Marriage is strictly a business deal. If people take more responsibility in figuring out what the cost and gains are as well as some foresight and serious consideration in making this deal their married lives wouldn't end up as miserable.

+Mak Moncman Actually, you can see her switch the bowls before the shot change.

[@makmoncman8720]

Legion Ivory Oh, I see now, I completely missed that.

[@iamironclaw]

I'm sure she swapped it because it said in the script she needs to eat salad, which she did, but couldn't if she kept the little she first got. So she did what she had to. If she had gotten more, she probably would not have switched.

Mad TV is so much better than SNL it isn't even funny. I know that the majority of SNL skits are done live and most Mad TV skits were filmed and then shown, but these actors are so much more talented. Debra Wilson was great, Aries Spears, Phil Lamar, Orlando Jones, Nicole Sullivan, Mo Collins, Frank Caliendo, Bobby Lee, Michael McDonald, Key and Peele, Stephanie Weir, Alex Borstein, and Will Sasso were all really good too. The problem is that they never went on to do anything for the most part. Lamar had good roles, Key and Peele had their own sketch show, Borstein was on Family Guy and Sasso was Curly from that really bad Three Stooges movie. Aries Spears also did a way better Cosby impersonation than Keenan Thompson ever did.
