Cut for Time: Cast List - SNL

I know exactly what you mean! In this case, Will Ferrel and I went to the same high school (I went a good ten or fifteen years later or something). I don't know if we had the same theater teacher, but that guy--even that look exactly--is my old high school theater teacher. Beautiful tribute, if that's what it was.

[@i_hate_vampires5063]

I would think because literally everyone is breaking character. Like I’ve heard that Lorne has said before about breaking “This isn’t Carol Burnett!”

Probably because no one could keep a straight face. Or maybe NBC didn't want to air a sketch about an adult telling kids to screw each other and kissing with tongue.

I think generations are getting shorter and smaller. Look @ every single rapper out right now. They are small enough to wear women's clothes and some of 'em do! The Migos wear women's blouses on the reg. Lil Wayne wears skinny jeans from the juniors section. It's really odd. Men on average are under 6' tall and weigh less than 150lbs. There has got to be some sort of nutritional deficiency.

[@Bewarenoguchi]

Could just be genetics. They say the brains of the newest generation are also decreasing in size but are much more efficient with certain skills than ever before.

[@mr2_mike]

Agreed.

[@ivans562]

Honestly, I think it was cut partially because literally everyone breaks. Lorne famously doesn’t really like when they break, he’s not aggressive about it but clearly the dude prefers when they keep it together, and while this is ducking hilarious, no one keeps it together.

[@eme.261]

@@ivans562 -- As this was filmed during the dress/tech rehearsal, which runs between 8pm - 10pm on Saturday nights before the live show, it's unlikely the skit was cut due to the cast breaking. Far more likely that the skit was cut for timing purposes. If this was cut and it's genuinely funny, there were probably other skits during this episode that were just as funny or even funnier. Since they began uploading skits immediately after the show, they know they have the option of still "airing" skits that are strong but can't be fit in during the live show's runtime. This is a good change from before, as during the time I worked at 30 Rock, I saw some of the funniest skits during dress rehearsals that never made it to air, which was a shame for the regular viewers of the show.

Soon as Will's character told a couple of high school students, "Your hw is to bang each other's brains out." = "Uhhhh... sorry, cut for time."

I love how Will tries his best to hold in his laughter then turns away for a moment when Keenan enters the scene. Keenan has one line in this entire scene and immediately kills with the delivery. He can stay on SNL for however long he desires, I'll never get tired of Keenan. 😂😂

I feel like this is one of the best sketches of the last five or so years. It kills me how high their level of quality is, to cut something like this. Other shows would be defined by this one, but these people left it on the cutting room floor. On purpose. It is so amazing. Unbroken, I’ve watched this show since I was 12 in 1988. Umpteen years of watching the show and this was STILL a high point to me. And not good enough to air. Boss Bitch move. Bunch of badass professionals over there. I respect it. I’m actually extremely thankful for the Internet and KZbin and what that affords us old people. SNL has done amazing things for a long time, and some of it did not air, and now unaired AMAZING sketches and ideas have a huge aviary in which to soar/faceplant/fly.
