Weekend Update: Peanut the Squirrel’s Widow - SNL

[@ShinRyojin]

I love that the whole Shermanverse is centered on roasting Colin.

[@jeffandersen7397]

i hope they appreciate her, she is exactly what this show needed.

[@jeanhamilton5351]

Dear Sarah, I want to THANK YOU for belly laughs EVERY TIME! You’ve blessed us with a classic character to love in each variation you play. Each straightforward, no shame or blame…just cajole with your versatile smile! From Grandma Jeanie🕊🐢

[@BudFudlacker]

Jean, This seems like a bit for 6 year olds!!!!!!!😂😂😂

[@toflrost]

Such a sweet comment Jean

[@e.j.l]

Sarah and Colin have fantastic chemistry. I really want to see them together in an actual sketch and not only on Weekend Update.

[@ramirezproductions0826]

It seems like it’s Sarah’s life-long mission to roast Colin every time she’s on update no matter WHAT kind of character she plays! 😂😂😂

[@steveconn]

It's so loveable and relatable.

[@todd8155]

It's a great running gag.

[@WilliesGarden]

My favorite running gag right now. She's going to be quite a treasure in the future. Colin, I'd be riding off into the sunset with the most beautiful woman in America he's married to, most def.

[@Pizzafromthepresident]

I hope it gets worse for Collin she's hilarious

[@radicalross7700]

Well, someone had to do it after Cecily Strong left the show. Sure do miss her

That separate operator for the tail was a great bit of puppetry.

@melanieshaw3210 Very funny. Colin was obviously interviewing Peanut the squirrel's widow. It's in the title 🤣

[@Satsujinki1973]

Sarah is a comic genius, but I would have a terrible headache shaking my head like that. How does she do it? As I said, Sarah is a comedy genius.

[@TsirhcSusej-v9q]

I didn't even know it was possible for a human to be this funny of a squirrel 😂I literally bent over laughing so hard 🤣

[@collegeemailmoment]

would love to see her in a voice acting role for an animated character at this point haha

[@noBearAdventures]

What I appreciate most about her isn’t when she plays crazy over the top. If you’re familiar with her work pre-SNL you were always going to know she’d kill that stuff. It’s how well she plays straight that makes me appreciate her skill. I wasn’t sure how she was going to translate to sketches where she’d be a bridesmaid, or an ad exec, etc. but she slays that just as much. She deserves to be one of those future snl stars. I hope that’s where her career takes her. She deserves it. And has earned it

[@ADPax10]

She might very a boi, but, honestly? ...would

[@poeiabird]

Peanut wasn't euthanized. He was killed. (Euthanasia is when an animal that is in great pain or terminally ill is put down to end its suffering.)

[@DanielleDM234]

I love the joke density on this one, the president Bush joke at the end killed me lol

[@spicysour]

Yeah but which one did he mean father or son? Maybe we need another follow up skit for clarification.

[@thomasjones4570]

This entire bit was pathetic. Making fun of this thing that outraged a lot of Liberals just because Republicans were also outraged over it even going so far as to state it bit someone when it did not. There is not even a hospital visit on record and there were no witnesses and it also supposedly happened to one of the people trying to take the animals...so they had no reason to even be there.

[@glowingfatedie]

Either way, Sarah looked like she wasn't expecting it 🤣

[@711CokeSlurpies]

Sarah has been one of my favorite parts of SNL since she joined. Love her so much!

[@karissabarbados9295]

It's heartbreaking what was done to Peanut (and Fred). But for anyone upset about this skit, if it makes you feel better, Peanut's owner posted on his IG story about it with hearts. He is happy Peanut made it on SNL. Peanut deserves to be talked about forever, and this skit will bring awareness to those who don't know what happened.

[@Sandipolove]

[@TheAnnArnold]

Why did the euthanize him? How awful.😢

[@dollyandsandy]

Allegedly P'Nut bit an investigator during the search and seizure. Because they also lived with a raccoon at the time, a vector for rabies, they decided to kill both and check for rabies. However, there has literally been not a single case in all of human history of a squirrel transmitting rabies to a human. Ever. So.... What was the real story?

[@kalicat9492]

​@@dollyandsandy government likes to kill animals. been doing it for years.

[@seanashenmil5899]

[@MarcKloos]

2:55 That's funny, the Dutch name for the glans is "eikel" which means ... Acorn!

[@Skazzzzz]

In English, "acorns" is a pseudonym for "nuts/balls/testicles." Colloquially, it can also be an adjective similar to "crazy," like "nuts." Our language can suck acorns because it's acorns. ;)

[@MarcKloos]

@Skazzzzz your nuts would simply translate to balls in Dutch. But the Germans call them "Eier" - eggs!

[@davesecx]

Whoever was operating that tail should get a raise.

[@potatoesforlife1234]

Yes, they should. I wonder if they had one of the comedians do it, or if it was a crew member, because if it was a crew member, they had impeccable comedic timing.
