[@themripley]

I love how every time John does SNL he uses it as an excuse to let his frustrated musical theatre performer out.

[@ArtemisScribe]

since he doesn't have anything to promote this time I think he just called Lorne up and was like "Dad- I mean Lorne, I've been thinking about some more musical numbers and also Anna would like to have me out of the house for a while because I'm getting on her nerves." and Lorne was just like "Say no more! You can do the February 29th show."

Coincidentally, since the actress Charmian Carr was older than her character's age, she and Christopher Plummer would drink almost every night after filming wrapped up each day on "The Sound of Music."

The age difference wasn't the thing that freaked me out, as a kid... It was the Nazi thing...

[@canaisyoung3601]

Well, with the whole #MeToo thing and heightened concerns over age of consent, SNL (and by that, I mean "John Mulaney") chose to mock that. Besides, they save their Nazi stuff for Trump.

[@vanyadolly]

There wasn't an age difference in the movie so it was pretty much just the Nazi thing.

[@avaesthetics]

Yes!I thought that the sound of music was a happy and cheery movie but then I watched it and the Nazi invasions scared the shit outta me

[@FritzMonorail]

@@canaisyoung3601 Cool your jets. There wasn't even an actual age gap in the movie. They were just making a joke about how it would be weird if there was. and they made plenty of jokes about the Nazi part too.

[@Tmanaz480]

That was the original concept. It got watered down a little, but they originally wanted an equal amount of drama and musical in the film.

[@elizabethsaporito7566]

2:21 ... "What with the complaining and those hefty naturals..."

I just want to interject that the Sound of Music is one of the greatest movies of all time.

[@mh.4816]

Before this, I was watching the "On the Bench" skit he did, and I started cracking up at 1:22 of this video when she goes "There's rumors that maybe you're a Nazi maybe!" and then he immediately goes to sit on the bench. 😂

LMAO I didn’t even think of that! 🤣

Pete was right, Cecily does have a beautiful singing voice.
