"uh you're so beige, Shud" *Shud breathes*

Kate McKinnon is a beautiful woman and I love how she's not afraid to do these skits where she looks downright terrifying!

[@ohwowlovely8733]

​@Tierr Boy Vlogs They don't have a nose and their skin looks much harsher and textured, covered in spines, not at all gooey, their shape is tapered and their tail is flat, essentially - they don't look like blobs.

Kate mckinnon was amazing in this skit

[@thadyndupont9609]

I was wondering if that was her!

[@PiCheZvara]

She was amazing in the close encounters skit, last call skit, Casablanca skit, etc. I think we can just conclude she is amazing, period. Definitely the funniest person on the show and exactly what the show lacked for a long time - the next big star following Sandler, Ferrell, etc.

[@collector832]

+PiCheZvara AMEN

[@blisszagar4680]

honestly i havent seen many skits that shes not amazing on.
