Martin Freeman has one of the best "pissed off" faces ever

[@MasterofPuberty]

I thought that might be a real fish, but the clapping and coffee confirmed it.

[@caseyrayharris.esquire489]

Never considered the fact that he might actually be eating raw fish

[@AdLangho]

It was a prop.

[@fantanaranja]

@@AdLangho no its a real fish they talk about it in "Behind the Sketch: Hobbit Office "

[@whatrwedoing7258]

I need an entire season. Please. This was pure gold. Pissed off Martin freeman, pissed off elves, a perfect gollum impression, and an orc for some reason. Was great.

[@c0mplexit]

whoa kudos to him for convincing acting while eating a raw fish

[@hpt91]

No words...Thank you Taran Killam.

[@JoshDeMilo]

Golum was really Taran up that fish. You're welcome.

[@grinehard7]

BAHAHAHA

[@KrimsonKracker]

When it comes to impressions, he always manages to Killam...

[@miyam9001]

Well it’s a good thing they Killam first.

[@EnigmasExpeditions]

This needs to be a real show

[@anniebell6430]

this was one of my most favorite skits

[@williefor]

I actually really loved this one! Although I bet it was super weird for Martin Freeman to film.

[@xXCrazyVirusXx]

this needs to have at least one season made, lets make it happen

[@Casey_J96]

This was literally one of my favorite skits ever. nailed it.

[@grinehard7]

Everyone in the office flirting with Tauriel is hilarious!

[@NickSpaloss]

Taran is crazy haha

[@BooglePoots]

I thought that was a real fish but hoped that I was wrong for his sake lol

[@eleftheriak.8889]

We asked and they answered. I could watch 20 seasons of this

[@freethemind7]

At first I thought "surely that can't be a real fish...." I like sashimi and all, but that's too much =/

[@emjebri]

I want this to be a real series.

[@spisskahruska]

The Office is the ultimate heartbreak to me and SNL has become quite a bit the same recently...Stitching these together and with such an outstandingly great outcome....Thank you

[@BucketofThrowup]

my sideburns XD

[@goliathstone3110]

3:28 Listen for the camera man holding in a laugh lol. It's at the very end, sounds like just letting out air.

[@nanana7823]

+Goliath Stone I would say it was an actor, since those are the ones with mics.

[@goliathstone3110]

+Nana Lamarque That makes more sense.

[@ezracyr4932]

sounds like its the door

[@snowflakeedits05]

@@nanana7823 Actually, they might not have had mics attached. It could have also been a boom pole then in which case yes it could have been the operator. Boom can pick up a lot of sounds which is why you have to be quiet on set.

[@lukewescott7596]

i saw someone else say this needs to be a thing......couldnt agree more, I could watch at least a season of this!!

[@GLYDraws]

Martin is so done XD

[@legolasislegless4485]

2:42 SNAPE??

[@harushouse]

I actually loved British The Office & this totally made my day (:

[@ilovenycsomuch]

They should’ve kept the staff joke

[@OutdatedRam]

Yes. Legendary dance. 2:59

[@quinn2401]

I can't stop watching the parts with Kate in it. She is so fucking cute in this sketch.

[@aniela28]

IK

[@elizabethoconcerts]

This is easily my favorite SNL skit

[@firewordsparkler]

This was amazing

[@parvathynk2393]

OMG that fish was real 😐👏👏👏👏

[@parvathynk2393]

Omg also it was taran 🤩😍 👏

[@mohammedt9749]

I hope they turn this into a show !!!

[@montananerd8244]

Gollum's fish-eating is the visual equivalent of microwaved fish smell ...

[@Faith-lh9in]

lol martins little wheeze laugh at the end

[@j33psamuels48]

I would watch this show if they made a series like this...

[@jennifergriggs3854]

The tune “Gandalf” was humming sounded like the toothpaste commercial in Grease

[@hunterhayes8028]

kate looks good

[@MAM_007]

Gollum did not think Brent's......urrrr.....Gandalf's dance was any good, ha.

[@krishnakabrawala1693]

I liked Evangeline verson of Tauriel but Kate is awesome. I absolutely adore her. She is the only reason to watch SNL videos.

[@Jabberstax]

This is funnier than what was shown on the night. Its more like the original Office series.

[@denverintranslation]

Literally no difference between this and The Office UK

[@alexdalyen3402]

Just like the office

[@XX6-JX9]

Gasp how could Bobby Moynihan tell that Hooded Specter is Laughing? intriguing. but im left wondering if ever working in this kind office. im never going to be exhausted because of all of the i would be giggling because of my coworkers. XD

[@scattjax3908]

Taran should eat raw fish in every sketch.

[@jakewayne4245]

love Costumes great. and the Make UP Great.

[@eole123456789]

I have no idea wth I'm watching but I couldn't stop laughing !

[@usmcchrisg]

Better idea than young sheldon.

[@LarsLiveLaughLove]

oh geez

[@amandaalonzo891]

Martin Freeman is's face!!! Lol, like: 😐

[@gulyaswift1503]

Season 1,2,3,4,5 please

[@rositabardeca]

Esta loco

[@pokedubby3722]

oh wow he actually he is eating a raw fish

[@jackcloud4728]

this is actually pretty close to the real office (that's the English one) I mean as close as Americans can get it to british humour

[@sabahbubbler]

Ah great, one of those British humor vs American humor. Lemme guess, you think British humor is better. Haven't heard that argument before

[@terebertuccivoicemusic9821]

mi nou understand britich jumor

[@erikmoe4767]

We must bow down to our superiors. The intellectuals... the true scholars, connoisseurs and sauvaugners of comedy.

[@hwsiii]

‘Dildo Bagins!’ I love that!❤😂

[@rositabardeca]

El tio ese con cara de empanado😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

[@McGregorsPlumbingandHeating]

Who else finds 3:14 funny asf? 😄

[@MRGiacalone2005]

Who is playing the Orc?

[@valeria4915]

Elf Kyle > weird Kyle ♥

[@simoSLJ89]

Sequel of "The boss of it all" by lars von trier.

[@LizFolei]

[@juansaenz4250]

Why do I want this to happen

[@inadequatesubject8103]

[@felipecarrasco7404]

[@angyemm5925]

Gollum!, Really right in front of my ice-cream?😖😵

[@rositabardeca]

Illoooooooooo ese esta loco matando al pescado que asco😨😨😨😨😨😂😂😂😂

[@SewardWriter]

What, no Thorin? I guess SNL isn't all for the UST.

[@captaingreek]

Btw all their screens are off. How the heck do they work?

[@caronstout354]

SNL didn't have time to get Sindarin programming on the computers...

[@rositabardeca]

Y mi abuela:uhhhh.👵👵👵

[@rositabardeca]

A mi me ponen al lado de eze y yo😝😝😝😝😝😨😨

[@user-di1jo8dg7t]

[@ScarnStudios]

3:16 Emma Watson?

[@asecretone]

Kills my club.

[@jcrowley1953]

[@Davepool-hs7vr]

Gollum should be dressed

[@rositabardeca]

Un sin cara😑😑😑😑😂😂😂

[@stephenbrooks8409]

Hilarious. Me likesees.

[@IsabelleBoiten]

Wait, is that a real fish?

[@prernasherki9617]

Yes

[@Embersfamilynow]

Omg the fish part😵🤢

[@creatorkfol746]

If only there was a way to watch the full snl 40th anniversary 3 and a half hour special

[@Jabberstax]

Pirate Bay.

[@leob4403]

Without the ads it was 2 and half hours, and this sketch is not from 40th anniversary

[@stephyMar13]

Dildo Baggins was hilarious but I can't help but imagine this scene. GANDALF; Hey, Kili. [Looking at camera while holding in laughter,] KILI; Yeah? GANDALF; What's your uncle name again?... Ah yes, HORNY Oakenshield! (Laughing uproariously) You get it bc his name is Thorin and he- (gestures at Bilbo,) (wheezing laughter) [Gandalf is pounding the desk with his fist repeatedly, Kili stares blankly at him and Bilbo is staying silently while the camera is on him. ] BILBO; Nothing happened between us. Just wanna state that now and put all the rumors to rest. (Camera zooms in on his sweaty forehead,) nothing at all. 😐

[@yoitsFEARS]

part 2?

[@AdamNair]

What's with the country restrictions @SNL? That's no fun.

[@austinisthaman]

pls make this a real thing

[@grinehard7]

I would totally watch it lol

[@mrs.blueeyes4350]

Would be lots more fun with Orlando Bloom. Has he ever been on SNL?

[@rositabardeca]

👐👊👈

[@PillCozbee]

Don't think the progressive American audience got this, not realizing the UK Office was the precursor to NBC Office. Oh well.

[@leogothisoscar271]

+PillCosby I'm a progressive American audience member and I find this and the aired sketch absolutely hilarious. It's so perfectly spot.

[@NatashaY94]

+PillCosby Actually, many of us have seen the UK Office. I saw it on BBC America several years before the American version began airing. This is bonus footage, it wasn't aired before a live audience. That's why you can't hear any laughter.

[@ariajia9224]

PillCosby I'm only 16 and I know it was based off of the uk office which I have seen. But nice try

[@sabahbubbler]

What a presumptuous twat

[@Punki80]

WTF did I just watch O.O?

[@GavTatu]

just because martin freeman was in the office, and the hobbit does not mean they have to make a sketch of it.

[@mladengochev6918]

this is actualy sad

[@francisaguilar1260]

its the british version of the office so yeah its supposed to be sad

[@mladengochev6918]

so the US version of the office is funny but the British version is sad? i thought is a comedy the fuck?

[@TheRalouch]

Its the difference between American and British comedy, it is funny but many things do come off as sadder than you would expect

[@mikecantreed]

This sketch was not funny. Just standard present day SNL formula of just mimicking the source material without adding anything original or comedic into the mix.

[@ElijahVT]

You need to calm yourself. If you don't think it's funny, then don't watch the show or a specific sketch from snl

[@ryanpatterson9630]

+mikecantreed but...dildo baggins

[@zach11900]

damn man, you hated it so much you posted the same comment twice

[@tooclosetokyle]

+zach11900 was thinking the same thing.

[@animechuck4219]

They have to keep it just boring enough so the suits don't ever decide to greenlight some sort of spinoff or movie out of it.

[@mikecantreed]

This sketch was not funny. Standard modern day SNL format of just mimicking the source material without adding any original comedy to the formula.
