I will never forget to wave back now

[@squidly1369]

yeah bro it makes someone happy

[@rosegaudi4127]

Thank You for put this on your comment

[@zuziiRock]

same!! this skit is really sad

[@Njx063]

last time i went to korea when i was about 10 years old, i waved at a mario in a square full of mascots and the mario kept hugging my brother and me and started following us for 5 minutes. Yeah I still have a trauma for real life sized puppets

[@faieziabubakar207]

In case it's bruno?? 🤭

[@rumindaheratgunaratne3161]

This beautiful skit was directed by the late Matt Villines. He died in 2016 aged 39 after a 2-year fight with cancer. It was originally aired in 2012 and SNL reuploaded it in 2016 as a tribute to him. The music in the background was done by Mark Maxwell.

[@cyberdude1997]

That's sad. The music is amazing though! Do you have a link where I could listen to it?

[@oneworldloveall6258]

This is beautiful man just beautiful

[@melokebeni2784]

😭😭😭😭

[@thedrunkenramblingsnorthea4201]

AND NOW there is more feels, Greeeaaaattttt

[@thekidfromcastlerock3891]

Thank you for telling us this persons name, and also of his passing. This skit is somehow now that much more poignant -though I wish it wasn't the case :( It makes me think of my boyfriend weirdly, he passed young too, and I know if I had showed this to him, he would have been aw'ing away with me. Also, the composers name-thank you

[@livelifeforaliving]

SNL needs to bring back Bruno as guest and musical guest again. He did so well last time!

[@whizkid00000]

Jack Yamat Loved his Pandora skit

[@harrisonmckinney7659]

He did crush it

[@brianaboston9141]

He was amazing

[@trinitylivingston1286]

He's just so cute!😗😗

[@jetster4117]

Yeah, he did surprisingly well.

[@__zelda__]

This is by far the saddest and most sweetest SNL skit. Never thought this would happen.

[@onicasmith8484]

Zelda Fogle I cried I literally felt my heart aching

[@dollarama5604]

Check out Customer Service as well

[@blakerobertson1705]

Zelda Fogle that's because it shouldn't have, but that's what you are gonna get with a third rate script team and unfunny actors in a politically correct and sensitive world. SNL being "wholesome".

[@smokejc]

@@blakerobertson1705 who hurt you?

[@MatthewArnoldmrmarnold]

Jan Hooks, Phil Hartman Schillervision. On par - this is the most impactful since.

this is a shocking social experiment

[@melvinfernandez7174]

Haha nice!

[@archanaanand8221]

Plot twist: the guy in the frog costume was Jason Sudeikis

[@zf5782]

That reveal would have been so great! 😄

[@techmic2854]

Good one

[@michula4ever]

I honestly thought it would show him taking off the mask😄

[@jeremyusreevu237]

@@michula4ever I think the reason it doesn't show who's wearing the mask is because it doesn't matter. What matters is that Bruno's character has found companionship, and a glimmer of hope in his life.

[@newtbangem4855]

lmao

[@jongathers2588]

Fight the tears, fight the tears... welp, now I'm crying.

[@vannah8033]

Me too i show this to my 7 year old daughter all the time😊💜💚💙

[@thatgirlkells5505]

It's so sweet!!!!

[@bing13bong]

Imagine later finding out Bruno Mars was waving at you and you just ignored him. I would die

[@MrLing-yr1jt]

Lol same 😂

[@sanyspring6923]

i think all the people in the background are actors too

[@sarahp.632]

This is actually the cutest thing ever

Bruno Mars why you are crying

[@naomimenikoff8653]

So cute!

[@ojuice891]

Extended metaphor for depression and how you can seem invisible to others until you finds someone else who's going through the same thing......

[@danielenyel3542]

That's deep bro

[@gustavgnoettgen]

"You're overthinking it" is also part of the problem on both sides

[@marcodragneel8035]

Hugo. Damn. You're spot on on the analysis. Didn't even think about it. Thanks

[@solodolotrevino]

Did I just "aww" at an SNL skit?

[@donkeykong4712]

I have no idea

[@viciouslyxo]

I did the same dude lol

[@charmaineappiah4070]

same here

[@samrice1525]

I did too but it was hilarious

YES IT MADE ME LAUGH. BRUNO SUCH GREAT TALENT. BLESS!!!

[@victoriaavantjenkins]

I actually cried, never considered the people behind those suits when I visit NYC. Honestly quite a lovely video. I’m sure a lot of those people ended up getting Corona too so prayers for them!

[@jae-dj2ue]

Bruno Mars can make any thing cute

[@vannah8033]

The Jazzy Show How?

[@vbgameshewolfpack9699]

period

[@epicmonkeyjoe4463]

Idk. I thought he was micheal jackson but then I realized he died like 2006 or 2008.

[@thedrunkenramblingsnorthea4201]

I think the skit itself was cute af

[@mickenziedavis3068]

Epic Monkeyjoe. He died in 2009 actually.

[@jemuel_isproyt7009]

Bruno Mars face is so cute

[@simonjenkin]

This is one of the most beautiful things SNL has ever done. RIP Matt.

Yeah.. who's Matt? Lol

The Last Memekage Ok.All the time I knew Bruno Mars He never mentioned a man named Matt Lol

[@destinysmith8542]

Aww, I know this is just a skit, but I hate seeing Bruno so sad.😫😩😢

[@nonconformist36]

Same

[@princesstiozon5722]

Yeah me too🥺❤️

[@imamazing2344]

SAME I HATE IT

[@renzoc]

SNL aint suppose to make you cry

[@ball1106c]

Bruno did such a great job!! The end tugged on my heart strings tho.

[@internethobo76]

And kids... That's how daddy became a furry.

[@MrDanygonc]

was thinking the same XD

[@AlexTheCrayChick]

Sarah Griffith how I met your furry mother

[@CarynDPrescott]

I think Bruno did a great job. I believe that he was able to embody this character because he's been performing since he was 2 years old. He understands the frustrations of a performer who has to be on all of the time.

[@Omeomeom]

This is actually my biggest fear in life

[@davidjr2071]

I always wondered how kappa was started

[@quatros1000]

He was not a streamer. He was an employee at Twitch

[@emmaday3537]

Jubably

[@calliecalliej.6431]

One of the sweetest/funniest sketches in SNL history. Bruno was excellent! Awwwwwww... 😊

[@dclarkmusic]

That actually made me tear up a little lol

[@lalaxo31]

I genuinely love this skit.

[@alphayourface]

Omg, NYC, will it hurt you to wave at the poor mouse? Q_Q

[@AirAtNight]

Brit Stormy we aint got the time

[@thelessimportantajmichel287]

Don’t blame us. It’s all tourists in Times Square.

[@jetjaxon]

You been to times square? There are 50 of these characters dressed up and they scam tourists by getting their attention like this and then getting them to take photos with them. They then push them to pay 10 to 20 bucks per photo and threaten them if they don't pay. That's why people don't wave at them.

[@MissJilly0]

@@jetjaxon Noted..

[@jennyneedsmeds]

@@jetjaxon right? when i was there elmo was all over the place

[@veselgana]

That was deep. All you need to pull yourself out of sadness, is actually to care more about someone else's pain more than yours.

[@DrWh1teCat]

2:05 His girlfriend was Sarah Schneider from College Humor (who then went on to become a writer at SNL).

[@nathanvdvelden321]

I realized that too

[@TCt83067695]

oh my lawd Sarah. you remember how the phantom used to obsess about her? good times

[@V1C1ousV1C2]

thats where shes been???

[@blahblahblah3032]

The booty at 2:09 tho

[@ztancomfort187]

Yeah that was cool

[@Jackistrashed]

Him laying on the floor punching himself in the face is so relatable!!! Life sucks

[@priyachoudhary9896]

That was the most darkest moment, like imagine being a kid and seeing a mouse beating himself up in the streets..

[@lovelyebonywhite4792]

It felt so weird to see Bruno not smiling

[@rxldhdm1233]

Makes me laugh.

[@PoppaBoogaloo]

Bruno Mars is a damn fine actor!

[@ryanm1167]

Screw this salty, clear fluid streaming from my eyelids

[@thedrunkenramblingsnorthea4201]

why did this make me laugh so hard oh yes - because this happens to me a lot. Relatable and also going to start saying this

[@XP9724]

Yeah same. It was supposed to come out a couple months ago but they delayed it cuz he had to prepare for the Superbowl

[@a.k9676]

He'd be such a good actor. He's talented, an amazing singer, a perfect dancer, HE COULD PROBABLY ACT! Looks at this.

[@lotusleo1]

Two words touching beautiful

Man I love bruno mars

[@guadalupelucero3685]

Its sad

[@irenerucker6000]

Seriously felt bad for him🙃..he so freaking cute😍😚still watch this 2021

[@christina0927]

so we can maybe avoid all the "this is old" comments, they posted this because the director passed away. RIP Matt!

[@sofiaflores9553]

Still a better love story than Twilight

[@eianoespolon2980]

found it!

[@karinamiddlebrooks2167]

woooah I haven't seen this in a while😂.

[@brianhill4153]

Man we need more snl skits like this . So good.

[@MarcelLWalker]

I love how as soon as we see Bruno Mars in costume (1:12), someone watching immediately says "Awwww!"

[@DashSphero]

This gets me more emotional than watching a dog being rescued from a sewer!!

[@tomoe04]

aaawww.. I wanna hug and squeeze him soooo tight. he's charmingly pitiful and so cute

[@natalya6080]

At 1:31 is it me or does Bruno look like Edward scissor hands😂😂

[@vanessarichardson110]

I thought that.

[@mahlina1220]

Nostalgia. I remember this sketch from 2012. ❤️

[@gnortune8536]

Man this deserves way more views :(

[@kyra3782]

I showed this to my seven year old daughter she was like awww 😊 at the end it was too cute

[@thewaywelivenow6406]

Wonderful, wonderful sketch. RIP Matt.

[@Fazalbisthami]

The dislikes are from the people who are crying and can't see clearly because of the tears

[@SniffyPoo]

I love the background music, it makes the whole thing work

[@juanelevin1114]

I was at Times Square and took pictures of the mouse because I felt sorry for him, then that weekend I watch SNL and discover it was Bruno.

[@liamisaac2455]

Watching people not wave at Bruno Mars in a mouse costume has been the most relatable shit ever

[@rayyana.8538]

I have never been more pleased with a frog and a mouse finding each other. They make a cute couple. This was sweet.

[@denitzilla]

The end was so cute! love this :)

[@quackster8295]

These are the types of fantastic sketches that you just don’t see on SNL anymore.

[@יהונתןאטין]

This went from a lil bit funny To depressing To the sweetest thing ever

[@vbvixen7029]

YUP!!! 💜

[@truththebestiknowit5091]

A great instance of comedy doing more than make you just laugh. It can be dark and sad and sometimes even make you think. The greatest comedy is art, and this is great comedy.

[@90sgranddad56]

did nobody realize it was bruno FUCKING mars when he took of the head

[@morgannekerr8855]

lynn I am not expecting to see the celebrity Bruno Mars to be in some cheap costume for tourists lol. I'd assume this guy just really resembles him.

[@Amir-dh8de]

lynnea It was just a skit. That’s supposed to happen

[@thathooligangirl77]

He's not playing bruno mars 😂

[@djherlockandfriends9973]

This is one of my favorites!

[@NiGiff]

It's a comedy show, but this is a beautiful piece. Kudos Mike and Bruno.

[@ginal.fernandes144]

Is there anything that Bruno Mars can't do? What a true talent!

[@brainflash1]

"Baby, we've both been locked outta heaven for too long. Let's change that, cuz I'd do anything for love. Don't believe me? Just watch."

[@brainflash1]

[@lepoetress]

I like what you did there 🙂

[@fairytale143]

This was absolutely perfect

[@simianbarcode3011]

it was his boss in the other costume

[@limabeanqueen9042]

That's actually an amazing way for celebrities to go unrecognised in public! No one wants to interact with those costume guys. And even with the mask off, no one would think that was actually Bruno Mars, they'd just assume he's some rando who looks similar!!

[@penguintears825]

How Bruno Mars gets his inspirations for his songs.

[@Khaesil]

I know it’s just a skit, but damn; I wanted to Bruno a hug so badly 😂😫

[@a.k9676]

When he took off his hat at the beginning, and waved. OMG. His face 😕😍

[@erzascarlett9495]

I just wanna hug him😢❤

[@payton8458]

poor sweet Bruno

[@leanecomin9503]

1:32 Bruno's face just made me cry 😢😢❤

[@ilovebeansOO]

One of my favorite sketches and that’s not sarcasm.

[@LinXx]

I was hoping for a guy at the end to come up and yell "Get a room you fucking Furry's!!" at them.

I can't believe the SNL producers didn't turn this into a movie starring Bruno and maybe Lupita. It is sure to be a big hit.
