One for the old little mermaid. One for the new little mermaid. Marcello is SNL's funniest new cast member.

[@jiahb]

And that song is from Aladdin.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

This reminds me so much of a sketch they would have done 15-20 years ago, probably about 6 times a season. Marcello has such a great energy in sketches. He and Kenan work well together here.

[@wkatc007]

I love it then and now

This is exactly what I miss in the SNL after the age of BLM and "politcorrectness" came in, which changed SNL, and not in a good way.

[@Vamatt99218]

Reminds of the Cut Sketch back in the 2012, "Renaldo and Alexi" where Bill Hader and Fred Armisen played two Manhattan doormen

[@daspicklerick]

This skit is a classic. I could see them revisiting these charecters in the future. Marcello and Kenan are an amazing pair in this.

Kenan lowkey brought back his Big Papi impression and Mercello held his own!

[@canaisyoung3601]

For some reason, I thought he would have retired that voice because they actually have a Dominican cast member and it might come off as offensive. Glad that didn't happen.

[@DENSITY1991]

[@khanyisalanga9637]

"First wipe, is crazy"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kenan so hilarious and another hot wig. They should have this as a regular sketch. He has great chemistry with Marcelo

[@propogandalf]

The wig is great! That style is so flattering on him

[@PBthesquirrel]

Whoever is working the wigs this season is killing it! The Rollercoaster news caster sketch and the SW airlines sketch (all from this episode!) had some phenomenal wigs

[@josuepolanco8879]

As a Dominican... I can say, This man does the best Dominican impression aka Big Papi tone hahaha .. Love it!!!

[@akken2112]

Let's be real, Dominicans and African Americans both have African Roots.

[@monroe1814]

This sketch was excellent man! Kenan always makes a great Dominican... Kudos to all the participants..

[@akken2112]

Let's be real. Part of why Kenan can play a Dominican is the fact that African Americans and Dominicans have African Roots.

[@m.4523]

​@@akken2112dude Marcello Hernandez is actually dominican and he look white af. We come in all colors. It's not the look, it's way of doing. I even seen a Chinese that was raised from the age of 1 in DR and he is straight more dominican then I will ever be🤣

[@akken2112]

@@m.4523 What does that have to do with my factual statement about Dominicans having African roots?

[@m.4523]

@@akken2112 Everything because it's not what makes somebody dominican. The fact that all of the Caribbean and most of South American countries all have some African DNA doesn't make it Dominican lol. Like I said it's the way of doing, the expression etc. Someone from Jamaica acts totally different as from somebody from DR even if they would look alike. It's not the "look" by skincolor it's the way they act, talk etc. If he was acting in a poor way, yeahh it wouldn't pass so.

[@akken2112]

@@m.4523 Dude, you're going way off topic. You need to stop with the semi-white fragility. Some of you Dominicans with your desire to distance yourself from Africa is beyond ridiculous. All I wrote was that part of why Keenan Thompson can pull off accurately portraying a Dominican is because African AMerican and Dominicans have African roots. That is a historical fact that can't be denied. It would be similar to how maybe a Brazilian, Cuban or Puerto Rican could pull off playing a Dominican.

[@nadine9847]

Please bring this back again! Marcello and Kenan make a good team 😂

[@DarioZignia]

“How about a prayer here we go” lol that literally made me spill my coffee .. This was hilarious

[@henrytawnn8694]

I was thinking of that, too. But also because I am an old man, I was thinking about David Alan Grier and Damon Waynes critiquing movies on In Living Color.

“Tony Soprano” lmao.

[@sendtownjose]

So great on so many levels: seeing my native dominican republic finally as a fully formed sketch, not just a nod in a fred armisen talk show, and a dominican version of the 1985 tom hanks and jon lovitz duo, at a time where more sketches like this are needed, just as I was thinking a few days ago. Also, maybe Lorne is now making my dream come true of picking a marcello hernandez centered sketch, where he exploits dominican culture?

[@M.Babadook]

This kinda feels like a Key and Peele sketch .

[@jc3m]

It’s definitely a rip off of the valets, but they all did a great job with it.
