Top 5 Most-Watched Pretaped Sketches | Season 48 | Saturday Night Live

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

The twist in the State Farm skit ending was SUCH a cherry on top! Chef's kiss, Writers. This shit doesn't write itself! Pay the writers, end the strike, and get back to making seriously funny skits!

[@asherhayes2429]

The State Farm sketch was great but in general SNL needs new writers. 80% of the sketches have been truly unwatchable they've been so bad. Weekend Update has been consistent but in general they need to clean house.

[@emu314159]

That sketch works because the Jake from StateFarm character really sucks in the actual commercials. It's the worst kind of corporate design-by-committee bullshit. By contrast, Flo and the Limu Emu (and Doug) are glorious insanity.

[@stevenclark1662]

​@emu314159 Jake from state farm wasn't a character. He was a guy named Jake that worked at State Farm.

[@canaisyoung3601]

The strike's been over since last year. Both of them, actually, though the SAG strike ended a few weeks after the WGA one (they still had episodes, like the Pete Davidson one, the Bad Bunny one, and the Nate Bargatze one).

[@ellierose6]

Pedro and the team need an Emmy for Mario Kart.

[@nbbim2012]

Pedro needs an Emmy for every sketch -- just a superb episode!!! Keke's episode was also fantastic

[@johrathbun]

Nah, I'm thinking Pedro with Lisa from Temecula!!

[@ellierose6]

@@johrathbun That wasn't pre-taped. It was more of a physical comedy routine paired with Ego's impeccable timing, and being live was part of it's success. It's always funny when people break, sure. It was a different sort of sketch altogether.

[@michaelpwright]

Second that!

[@SirGenesis206]

His whole episode was perfect.

[@heathercook9466]

The Jake From State Farm is one of the best skits SNL has ever done. Michael B Jordan *chef’s kiss

[@bburrellmusic]

Guest hosts Michael B. Jordan, Meg Tha Stallion, and Pedro Pascal were hilarious this season 💯💯

I wonder who decided "Mikey gets cuckolded" is a specific genre of sketch at SNL 😂

[@Paineinyourblank]

except for Matt Shatt... hes the king

[@maryschroeder1533]

I'm pretty sure Mikey came up with it himself. He writes all of those.

[@JamesKlass79]

I just wanted a policy!

[@ralphwalton2657]

Funny how Mikey cuckolded Beck with Heidi in the Lexus skit and now he's getting it back times infinity. PS: Am I the only one who would like to have seen Mikey do "Brutal Marriage Movie" with Heidi?

[@anomalocaris2593]

Most likely his wife

They have Mike Diva now, all will be good

[@aspamok]

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen an SNL sketch where Mikey gets his family taken over by a marvel actor I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird it happened twice

[@PoppyCorn144]

What’s the other skit?

[@mshilah]

At least this time the Marvel actor was playing a person and not a cockroach

[@wolvesetc]

​​@@PoppyCorn144The other sketch was where the cockroach played by the guy from boogie nights stole his wife. Same SNL wife (Heidi Gardner).

[@maekshift5096]

Honestly a majority of the enjoyment I get out of SNL is from pre-taped, more well produced sketches. It opens up the door for a lot more creativity, and they could probably pivot very well into a large scale online sketch based channel that would translate well into shorts/tiktoks, as well as continued YT uploads

The Southwest Airlines “Computer Jokes” are spot on. Their network is a Frankenstein nightmare of multiple apps that do the same thing because nobody gives a shit. My boss told me “We are the Wal-Mart of airlines.” Then HIS boss echoed the exact same thing word for word. Anyone who criticizes the pile of crap they built, they are swiftly shown the door. I left after I pointed out the pile of dog shit on the floor that everyone pretend not to see so they wouldn’t have to pick it up.
