Caligula - Saturday Night Live

[@squamish4244]

That's quite a set. Also, Caligula hated people calling him Caligula, "little boots". That was the name he got as a child wearing his custom-made Roman sandals around his father's army camp. His official name was Gaius. When his (many) enemies called him Caligula it drove him into a rage lol

[@ember-brandt]

@tahrah11 😂😂😂

[@jv-lk7bc]

yeah that must suck for poor old Caligula. We should get right on correcting that. Right after we finish the impeachment trial for Little Hands.

Oh, so there was a funny part?

[@DiscoDashco]

Same! Aidy is da shet!

[@bumbledouche3323]

I would have loved to have seen the camera on Bill when Taran came out wearing the horse head, no way he kept a straight face there

[@houdinimagpie3364]

💡Caligula was also renowned for his pranks...at parties he would hide live lions in closets or rooms, so when his guests would open the door, a lion would jump out and possibly maul them. Usually "pranks" are supposed to be non-lethal...but hey, Caligula went all out 🎉

[@sachinvenugopal6926]

By this rate we Will get to it

[@destinydarrling9276]

I think the “pranks” were more like Elagabalus

[@someromaboo]

Pretty sure that's actually Elagabalus

[@bilal9ja564]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@thebigballerboy1268]

Caligula appointed his horse consul at a dinner to piss off the senate. I though the dude in the horse mask was going to be making fun of that

[@pop5678eye]

Fun fact: 'Caligula' was actually an insulting diminutive nickname meaning 'little boot.' He called himself Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus.

[@seymourskinner2533]

That’s a “fun” fact?

[@robert0price]

@@seymourskinner2533 who are you mad at? lil booty?

@@seymourskinner2533 i wanted to make a pun so thats what i did

[@BrokeNerfing]

I heard it was "Little Soldiers Boot" brcause as a child he would always put on soldiers armor.

[@callnight1441]

when i saw the horse head i thought that would be a commentary on how caligula appointed his horse a consul

[@madgang201]

And then he had sex with the horse XD

[@tomarthur5814]

I totally thought so too!

[@cylebennett6192]

The little horse dance taran does Classic

[@MichaelNNY]

My god Nasim is drop dead gorgeous in this skit.

[@austinross8444]

That’s just Nasim in general

[@Rkenton48]

Oh yeah. She looks great in a Toga.

[@Dayvit78]

She needs to remove her clothes like Caligula said

[@xanderk84]

I want more ancient Rome sketches!

[@jamezkpal2361]

His name was Gaius. Caligula was a pejorative nickname. If you called him that you would be killed.

[@squamish4244]

He had loads of rich enemies who loved pissing him off with that name. From a distance.

[@Vizzini_]

Your mom's Caligula. Jackass.

[@lindsayalisonstevens3592]

Tarryn’s dance moves with the horse head was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@cylebennett6192]

I’m trembling with excitement! Cecily strong is hilarious

[@shakie3545]

Somehow I knew it was Taran before he removed the horse head. I just knew it.

[@supermojo9672]

Remember mokiki ?!

[@LadyVoldemort]

Tall, sexy dad bod, with soft chest hair, loved and confident being nude? Yeah, it's Taran. 😂😂😂

[@mrs.stefonmeyers7156]

I recognized him from the thumbnail😂 he has a very hairy chest and his niples are very bright pink

He's effing hot

[@Havvyer]

I thought Justin Timberlake was my main reason for watching this skit... but then Taran Killam changed my whole mind, I mean... those moves, that body, that face... I think I have the hots for him! hahaha

[@vollmond9342]

The way he said "peed all over him" made me ugly laugh

[@april1969simnel]

Is Taran's entrance a gif somewhere? Hahahahaha!

I'd be lying if I said I weren't a little turned on

I f'king knew it was Taran xD

[@BatMan-yx8oq]

So funny

[@whalesnamedshark]

His name means “little boots”

[@SimplymeSVEN18]

Caligula was his nickname though. His actual name was Gaius.

[@elizabethpeters6890]

I love how often Justin almost loses it.

[@TheJoeyboots]

He did a great job staying in character. This skit must have been a challenge.

[@InnannasRainbow]

When he was an adult, no one dared to call him Caligula. That was a childhood name meaning 'little boots' as he liked to dress up as a soldier.

[@tyrant-den884]

but nody dared call him "Sober" either.

[@saleenz9643]

Taran with that forlorn ab stroke though.. It's the little things 😂

[@redadamearth]

Great idea, but - needed another couple of drafts. lol

[@adamwsaxe]

Very funny. Everyone did well, even when they broke character a little bit. And Kate looked super cute.

[@miagonzo5522]

it's literally that easy to slip back into the habits 😭

[@mkultra7940]

I've always loved it when Justin Timberlake was on SNL.

[@amiblueful]

He's always been a surprisingly great host. (Surprisingly, because comedy isn't what he's otherwise known for.)

[@Blargaha]

The humor falls kind of flat considering that it's not the drinking that made Caligula famous, but rather him being completely insane.

[@jinhyun1]

Blargaha And not the good kind of insane. He was terrible-looking too.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

absolute historical accuracy in a SNL skit? sure. that's lways priority '#1

[@foljs5858]

+Blargaha The skitch is not just about his drinking -- he also says he was a "sex addict"...

[@captainoblivionthicc1004]

Caligula was paranoid and had problems with hes past

[@emperorbartu2414]

He wasn't

[@DhavalShukla]

Steve Higgins' voice makes these sketches awesome!

[@jackalhead7433]

"The Tales of Sober Caligula"? and there I thought HBO finally released Rome season 3....

[@luisfelipesilvasampaio7922]

I was expecting malcolm macdowel to make a cameo!!! kkkkkkk

[@adambees2174]

Guess he’s back to Step 1. There is always a hidden latch to take you further under rock bottom.

[@LadyVoldemort]

People complaint that this is not funny, but I clicked thumbs up for (ahem, topless) Taran. Any sketch with him screaming (as a overly protected bro/son or a dinosaur), singing (he has amazing singing voice), dancing (remember Mokiki? And the one with Bruce Willis boys dance night), and shirtless are fine to me. 👍👍👍 Too bad he's not on SNL anymore...

[@dookiemanik]

Came here for Taran

Joffrey was an asexual sadist though, he only wanted to torture the prostitutes not have sex with them

They should have brought this idea back when Helen Mirren hosted. They missed a great opportunity!

For what it's worth, she did star in a fake trailer for a remake of the movie.

Their skits are often incredibly juvenile dumbed down and stupid. This could have been awesome and sexy, but wasn’t what a waste of the sexy Justin. The only guy that looked hot had an animal on his head, besides Justin.
