[@will.a.benjamin]

One of the best recurring SNL sketches ever. So predictable and ludicrously hilarious every time.

[@TheSteve1126]

I still sing this song in my head on a regular basis.

[@mloftin6472]

In orbit around an anus.

[@geemail6737]

Couldn't have said it any better

[@rickybandit2]

Not really

[@robbbs]

The fact they follow the format so closely but change just the perfect amount of things everytime. Such amazing nonsense

[@theivory1]

If this was a real show for 30 minutes I would watch.

[@johnny2x924]

It was but it’s not as funny as this

[@nothingimportant7995]

It is a real show. This is just the SNL funny version of it

[@susiebear3316]

@@johnny2x924 ARE you serious 😂🤣😁

[@sommerjones9281]

This was NOT a real show. Jesus.

[@sammfigueroa6622]

@@sommerjones9281 just because you never seen it doesn't mean it dont exist.......this show is VERY REAL

[@WaterBaby127]

Love the fact that 'Lindsey Buckingham' is always there 😂

[@GamerGarm]

Kills me every single time!

[@Alexiosization]

and he gets mad sometimes hahaha

[@toughtittypdiddy4634]

Did you see when the real lindsy Buckingham was there?

[@jinvid]

And ALWAYS gets screwed over! LOL!!! But is always such a gentleman about it.

[@taminicamarsh]

I watch this just because of him

[@wejeanmarie]

Jason Sudeikis. Gets me every single time. LOL

[@jasonlawrence7607]

Rejean Sarcos At first I was like WTF but he's coming along

[@sby2677]

Jason Sudeikis has some serious moves!

[@RiceDaddy07]

I don't get why everyone is saying that. Haha. He's just doing random jogging moves. I just imitated it right now. You can do it too. lol. Try it.

[@vitaminK1121]

The difference is grace. He has a lot of grace. I could also do most of those moves (not the popping and locking, though), but I wouldn't look as good as he does doing it. His moves are controlled, graceful. Maybe he could have had another career as a dancer.

[@michaelw6104]

S BY lol that running mam

[@iamaten2719]

Ikr every hip hop dance step, even the whopp!

[@ruchpat1]

S BY he was killing it but this sketch isn’t has funny now that I’ve gotten older

[@jramjee100]

This was the first time they did this iconic sketch. Still as hilarious as ever!

[@Heavenzvoice]

Jayneel Ramjee yeah I can tell... he really improved it. I started with the older ones and just seeing this today... everyone developed their character over time.

[@WilbertLek]

This really is a great sketch. I love the Monty Python style of completely random things happening and cutting people off mid sentence... @Angel Same for me. If you saw the other ones you can clearly see this is the first time they did this.

[@ceasedesist703]

Jayneel Ramjee 😍🥂

[@VooXoo]

The first one should be with Gerard Butler but I can't find it anywhere sadly.

[@VooXoo]

It indeed is, I'm dumb in my poor defense I've read the wiki and thought that Butler would have been a seated guest and Franco the joke cameo + I didn't recognize GB with the make up in 2009 as I'm not one fan Nice knowing that most if not all WUWT are avaiable we need more of this

[@thebigpat799]

I went downtown to a party I said can I get in? They said $5...I said never mind😂😂😂😂😂

[@dfletcher532]

Ross Geller is black right 😂😂😂😂

[@jamingjohnson2275]

LOL!!! That actually happened to me at a bar one time. He told me I had to pay $5, and I told him never mind. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@benoelus692]

This skit never disappoints even if you already know what's going to happen.

[@chrxnxmn7624]

The thing is you really DON'T know whats going to happen... I mean WTF White Pete?!

[@aarondigby5054]

And you and you and you and you not you you and you too, never gets old and ET likes Reese's pieces

[@CozysHouse]

We just waiting to see where his mind goes 😂😂😂😂

[@heathersimmons531]

Jason Sudeikis was in such incredible shape to be able to dance that much and not even break a sweat!

[@benjaminhunt8307]

Keenan is one of SNL's top shelf performers. He can make me laugh with just the slightest of moves and facial expressions. He’s brilliant.

[@bobdavis4848]

Yes he is and spelled Kenan.

[@GrinningAries]

@@bobdavis4848 ...and "IT'S" spelled Kenan. Ooooh wheeee, what up with that?

[@bobdavis4848]

@@GrinningAries Dunno! Growing up, I'd wonder why some spelled a teepee "tepee" and thought there needs to be a song asking what's up with that!

[@selenarichardson4964]

Please bring this skit back. 😂😂😂😂 omg I am dying

[@MindlessTurtle]

It just wouldn't be the same without Jason Sudeikis dancing in a red track suit.

[@cherylwalker4854]

Not to mention the fake Lindsey Buckingham!¡! _Who_ could _possibly_ do a fake Lindsey Buckingham as _great_ as oh _damn_ what's his _name?_

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

they bring back old cast members every week for bad sketches - don't see why they couldn't bring a few back for a good one like this

[@withalittlehelpfrom3]

Hey, you got your wish! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5iVqJmfjtKVndE

[@tinaloveseddie]

I love when Jason dances in slowwwww mo.🕺🏽

[@linnycrocus6023]

I love how Lindsey gets progressively more and more angry as the sketches continue.

[@Lafemmefutile]

Linny Crocus He knows he’s going to get bumped again!

[@kuhneegit]

I have core childhood memories of deliriously waking up at 1 in the morning on my couch to Kenan singing this song at max volume while my parents laugh hysterically

[@lethalenoki]

excellent memories.

[@reindeerage]

LMFAOOOOOOKDOO

[@bohemianwriter1]

I'm watching old reruns as my cat is sleeping next to me at 3 am.

[@adamhicks9597]

You are the new generation of funk. So ask yourself and others, what up wit that?

[@viperrecords3288]

Your parents Rock

[@WolfGrrl1]

Jason Sudeikis is a dance god

[@CyanCooper]

+WolfGrrl Homeboy was killing it the entire time... he didn't even repeat many of his moves!

[@TripleX205]

+WolfGrrl He can also sing.

[@muskanec7785]

And he slowed down muwahahahahah

[@auunnfkristjansson6738]

It's glorius👍🏻

[@Gl6619]

Muskan EC thats not that easy...I see some commenters saying his dancing is nothing big as if they could do..I’m like “you do the moves, then slow down”, then come back and talk to me...

[@meli6882]

the way he sings "biological treasures" at 2:50 kills me every single time

[@LadyVoldemort]

The best part of this series of skit is Jason's jumped in out of nowhere and dance so joyfully and energetically...can't take my eyes off of him...!!! 😂😂😂💃💃💃

[@digitalbritt2k]

2:09 “ET likes Reese’s Pieces” always stuck with me. 😂💀 I love the completely random tags he adds on to the end of each chorus.

[@LJMIE]

Saoirse Ronan in the crowd on the left at 1:38!

[@tarantino900]

Holy shit!!! I never noticed that before!!

[@TheKennyboy92]

Yeah she's a big fan of the show apparently

[@fakename9965]

And she just hosted this week, that's crazy

[@soph7480]

^insane!

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

That's so funny cuz she was on it this week

[@hanspoker4929]

Lol Sudeikis just wins this sketch every time. Awesome. What is that move from 4:24-4:28 lol, did he just make it up? It's the best one.

[@freema9246]

Hans Poker no, jason didn't make that up. still funny tho! as funny as keenan is, jason does steal it with the dancing!

[@Its_Buffy_B-tches]

No. It's a dance from the 90's... he's just not doing it quite right. *legs are too high😂😂😂

[@datdude89]

IT'S BUFFY B*TCHES what are you talking about?! He nails it. I’m a professional dancer and he kills it! You’re just bummed that he has natural rhythm and you’re a basic bitch

[@Its_Buffy_B-tches]

dat dude 😂😂😂😂Are you okay, my dude🤔? You seem really pressed about nothing at all 😁

[@camogrrl]

dat dude calm down snow flake. You’re seeing conflicts that don’t exist brah

[@TonyPanama]

Sudeikis makes me so damn happy! Even on a bad day his character makes me smile!!

[@Alex-tx2em]

the two guests didn't even get to say anything and i can't believe gerard just did that XD im crying

[@alpachino2047]

Hahaha Jason Sudeikis. Love him hahaha so funny!

[@Dellaluna13]

Before work, during work, after work: Guess what song is still stuck in my head?

[@evifnoskcaj]

Easily the best new recurring sketch on SNL. Kenan crushes it every time! ❤️

[@SKa-tt9nm]

New? This was 14 years ago.

[@RakelDaNell]

The part that gets me on each one is when the guest starts talking and he interrupts them for the first time with his neck wiggling...

[@jimmyjoe8990]

Kenan is great

[@brunoccs]

The most impressive thing about these sketches is that Hader manages to keep a straight face in all of them.

[@jamesmartingattuso9915]

Jason sudeikis is an awesome dancer!!! Love it!!!

[@Humanhead86]

I watched this 3 days ago. today I woke up and couldn't get that song out of my head. so damn catchy

[@CelestialWriter01]

Fred, Bill, Jason, and Kenan were magic.

[@yakultcat]

if he ever put out an album, i'd buy

[@IAmYourLeader-bn6ib]

White Pete str8 blew up the spot!! 😂🤣 Love the White Pete music too💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MitchKarlo]

Bring this segment back!!

[@bradychick6535]

Thanks for all the laughs Kenan&Crew:)

[@redandbluebulldog1508]

Kenan Thompson is one of the funniest people of his generation. He is certainly the funniest, most talented individual on all of SNL right now. I love this video. It cracks me up, and I actually enjoy the music as well. A skit most well prepared and well done. I watch this video often, and will happily continue to do so. Thank you for posting.

[@JonnaVoorendt]

Gerard Butler!

[@kunalmahore4801]

Jason's dance is next level
