Love it when everyone puts in 110% into a skit that's so ridiculous that it needs 110% to pull off!!

[@kurtreber9813]

@FU KZbin farrrr!

[@EbonyPope]

Reminded me a little bit of Monty Python. Unfortunately few new sketches have this energy.

[@christianalexander3384]

AGREED

[@rinnyrindawg]

Definitely a Will Forte sketch

[@execatty]

Chris parnell is more like 1000% hysterical

[@MisterTimVids]

Parnell masterclass in committed intensity: not a single line in the sketch but plays the whole thing like the future of humanity depends on how seriously he takes his role

[@davidhutchinson7888]

He owns this shit

[@execatty]

Absolutely over the top simple but hysterical skit.. Parnell as always killed it.. Miss these days of snl.. Haven't watched in 5 years since politics and wokness ruined it.. As it does everything

What's a pirate's favorite letter? You'd think it would be R, but a pirate's true love is the C.

[@rockybocky772]

Rrrrrrrr

[@andrewsalvatore3828]

I too "love the C"

[@AlanCanon2222]

I.

[@KrishnaRSampath]

I love telling this one, too. (An alteranate third-step shuffle is to ask what a pirate’s favorite transportation is/ and when people inevitably say “CAARRRRRR!” You get to correct them with, “No, man, pirates travel by ship.” Works every time to produce groans).

@phil not only that but Lorn Michaels hates it so much, the ones that break are fined. Makes me wonder if Horatio Sans and Jimmy Fallon made more than a few bucks a season. Lorn righty considers it a cheap way of getting a laugh.

This looks like a drinking game that got turned into a sketch. I give it 10 out of 10.

[@notkerrystolcenberg]

The drinking game that only allows haarrrrrrd liquor

[@cooperhilinsky6361]

Great idea! You sit in a circle. Someone picks a category, like movies. Everyone takes a turn... 1: Farrrrrrr-go! 2: Die-Harrrrrrrrrd! 3: Starrrrrr Warrrrrrs! (A double means you pick someone to chug twice 4: Varrrrrrrsity Blues! 5: can’t think of one so he must finish his drink I love it and glad it wasn’t around when I was in college.

This sketch was so stupid and wholesome. I loved it!

[@tjgray2815]

@Otacon9611 Wholsome?!? You must be forgetting about Horatio Sanz working in a totally inappropriate (and completely unnecessary) bestiality/pornography “joke.” So creepy. Pretty much ruins what otherwise *could* have been considered a wholesome sketch. Incredibly poor judgement like that makes it pretty easy to believe the woman accusing Sanz of being a sexual predator when she was still in high school.
