New Age Band - SNL

[@ianbob]

Kenan Thompson is like a time traveler. He shows up in sketches from decades ago looking exactly the same.

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

ianbob the only difference is he lost a ton of weight recently.

[@casualobserver2380]

Yes Kenan has been unfunny for a really really long time.

[@rolivas303]

Casual Observer booooooo 😠 👎 Keenan always brings it.. he’s a legend..

[@casualobserver2380]

@@rolivas303 you're absolutely correct, he is a LEGEND when it comes to being forcefed into skits. He detracts from every skit he's in.

[@casualobserver2380]

@Darrell Williams it's obviously all a matter of opinion but I believe I'm in good company when I say he's better suited for Nickelodeon than he is SNL.

[@finnz9539]

2:22 "... I hate yo FACE!" It was the inflection he put into it, the way he goes 'up' at the end instead of down, that's whats killing me

[@JeanVlogDandamme]

IKR ? Like he's almost asking a question ! "I hate your FACE !?!"

[@Jibberish55]

I love that the harp player starts all the songs in a different nebulous place, like somewhere in the middle, and they all know exactly what to play.

[@desiertoscacti5388]

"I hate your face", I listen to it again and again. I love Kenan! This was a very successful SNL act!

[@aparnagupta5725]

I really liked the music. Rainn actually took the skits seriously instead of reading it from the cue cards. He is a good actor!!

[@52dddful]

Kudos to the wig department. They should have a SNL line of wigs.

[@konniechung]

The installations are what make them work so well!

[@adamleckius]

One Wiig is enough

[@52dddful]

@Jimmy yes I do think they have a hair artist within the costume department.

[@rebeccaerb9935]

Was just thinking that as i was watching! Then read yer comment!☺

[@raspberrycrowns9494]

Really gives off that "never took a shower" vibes

[@jmsmith1767]

1. Lunarscape 2. Crystal Breezes 3. Dewey Petals that EP was fire

[@Gfandrew7]

Don’t sleep on the out take Harp Jam

[@TheChupacabra]

It’s upsetting that I was thinking it would be really soothing to have these songs going today. So now I’m middle aged. I just realized it

[@jonasjaagur9635]

This nails the passive agressive mood when new age hippies hate each other. That or spiritual oriented church folk.

[@fantoonstic]

“I hate your face!” Is my new favorite exclamation.

[@blackmore4]

"Yo" not "your".

[@rebeccaerb9935]

😆

[@seishedaye3705]

*aggressively panflutes*

[@absolutelyridiculous6743]

That's my favorite reoccurring bit! 😂

[@raspberrycrowns9494]

Literally that one vine where the guy is in the car aggressively playing a pan flute

[@lizzy6555]

That face😂😂😂😂

[@sniperslim]

I HATE YO FACE!!!

[@divisanks5552]

Maya's hate face is strong.

[@lucyavarda1742]

It's the caribbean gene. They don't mess around

[@mayaloftin7506]

My name is also Maya and I can assure you it is very strong on the scale of Mayas

[@efisgpr]

It's her horrendous NOSE

[@regntonne]

And still beautiful.

[@bluebird3042]

She's incredible 😂

[@liquidsnakeckw]

here we can see a wild Dwight in his natural habitat, enjoying weird music.

[@mattjones5531]

What if this was one of the many Schrute cousins?

[@allisonchristian5678]

This would be one of the schrutes that was too weak and was meant to be eaten during the harsh winters. Just kidding. They never ate the children.. It never came to that.

[@JimbosliceLV]

This Jam needs more Cowbell.

This must be how Fleetwood Mac recorded "Rumours."

[@soundsthatheal812]

Lol

[@nancymorrison9978]

😂😂

[@alicelu5691]

😂 I doubt they can sing again after seeing this

[@taylormccollum8482]

That's literally what I thought as soon as I saw this video 😂😂😂

[@lamb2004]

i’m late but it might be worst than this 😂

[@CtrlAltPhreak]

The way Fred Armisen was moving on the keyboard had me laughing before the skit even started, lol.

[@KaninTuzi]

I know a keys player who plays exactly like that 😂

[@patrickgmcnamara]

"Let's take Dewy Pedals from somewhere near the end." We've all said that, at one point, haven't we?

[@nuthineatholl6434]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6qtnWSsrd2hp8k ( ಠ ͜ʖಠ)

[@AlexaBellaMuerte]

hahaha such an underrated line

[@uba2]

Damn I can't believe I haven't seen this and it's 5 years' old. Just the idea of an angry New Age band is classic...

[@BethBuelow]

It's actually 13 years old (as of 2020)... the skit is from 2007, posted in 2013. And agree, it's classic. They could do an entire series of "angry New Age ______" skits.

[@vrcxdc3623]

Probably if you never been around one.

[@marleneg7794]

Org date is 2007

[@bierlichen1]

I replayed "I HATE YO FACE" about 10 times.

[@crispymelonztwitch]

Menelik FINALLY SOMENE LIKE ME 😂😂😂

[@nebulousisgod]

Haha same here

[@doctorluz180]

Idk I actually like that face lol asii mamii

WHY DOES ENYA HAVE MY GRAMMY??? XD

[@geminiXXX]

Story of my life...

[@AdaraAhab]

I had to replay that part!!! Lol

[@CtrlAltPhreak]

The very start, where Fred Armisen is rocking the keyboard, made me lose it immediately. Not even one second into it, and I was rolling. Something about that guy just makes me laugh.

[@tonelocrian]

He probably wrote it.

[@Jynx215]

This skit is so much funnier after you've actually been in a band. It's so relatable, lol.

[@TB-ot4yk]

OMGSH dwight!!!!!! I can totally imagine him doing something like this after working at the office :D

[@waltonsimons12]

I was about to disagree, but then I remembered that Dwight got into meditation at the start of Season 8. Maybe that's when he decided to start Riverbliss. :-)

[@taniacastelan]

“hey, I love the Birkenstocks.” Dwight: Thanks. Yeah, I always keep an extra set in the car, for special occasions.

[@harshvardhanm9910]

Recorded at the legendary Schrute Farms Studio

I can watch Fred Armisen play the keyboards all day😂

[@lsc66416]

This has to be up there as one on my all-time favourites.

[@silvertesh123]

Why are we not talking about Fred Armisen's aggressive keyboard playing? For me it stole the whole scene. And shout out to the musical directors for the very accurate new age tunes 😂

[@margaritam.9118]

Kristen is "hitting" the drums in a somewhat feline manner :D

[@GrinFlash007]

Tablas not drums.

[@margaritam.9118]

GrinFlash007 Thanks, I only knew it's a kind of a drum.

[@vinayseth1114]

+GrinFlash007 Tabla is a type of a drum.

[@GrinFlash007]

Vinay Seth Violin is a type of guitar & accordion is a type of piano. ;)

[@margaritam.9118]

GrinFlash007 Drum is a hyperonym for tabla, so I'm still right xD

[@satchelyork]

Id say this skit was Freds idea, his keyboard moves were hilarious

[@MrDino1953]

Steve E. Brown - yes, it has Fred the musician satirist written all over it. I love all the overblown musician posturing, especially the way the harp player touches his precious hair all the time and Fred’s spastic keyboard moves.

[@samsouyave-murphy986]

"I just wanted to remind Haseem that we're playing for real now". I love that she's saying this, even though she wasn't actually touching her bongos.

[@tommyhill199]

If there is a sketch where someone plays an instrument, Fred is going to be involved.

[@austinkeys5062]

these are all bops// could snl just make an album of new age band music please 😂

[@FireFr0ggy]

The music is actually pretty good.

[@rohanmiscrits]

Kaiyznn right??? I thought so too

I'll bet this really happens....

[@BillM1960]

Guacalas

[@harmono8766]

Sounds like Shadowfax, they were my favorite New Age band I think. The band was really tight, more jazzy and soulful than some of the airy fairy stuff like Enya.

[@rumudinc3057]

I am very happy to see Rainn Wilson.

[@albertandrews130]

A comedic genius

[@pallmall5495]

The angry pan flute face gets me everytime

[@anthonycoleman1909]

Kenan Thompson has got the best face for comedy. I just look at him and he makes me laugh. He doesn't even have to say any lines.

[@loverofthewordofgod4156]

I think the most "real " thing here was how he channeled all the negativity in by his sick pep talk. They didn't even look like they HAD a problem until the harp leader talked.

[@Verminreaper999]

Love how into it Fred gets!

[@AshrafAnam]

Funny how the music doesn't involve the keyboard but Fred's still pretending to play it.

[@YoshihitoBLM]

The last time I checked, Riverbliss didn't have very many songs that featured the keyboard. I think Fred should play the hell out of it!
