I think this entire sketch was a contest between Kristen and Kate to get each other to break character.

[@Sci-Fi-Punisher]

SAME!

[@AnnoyingAsianWitch]

Now there's the skit where Aidy & Kate own an apple farm.

[@mxrtn1n]

I’m scared as soon as I clicked on this and they said cats I looked at the ad and it was an ad for cats

[@buckbundy8642]

The two of them together are amazing. They play off each other perfectly.

the women at 2:33 laughing "it's the same cat" has clearly been a victim of Butternut's psychological manipulation

[@Dandylion567]

That was me. The funniest part is actually that Butternut is a boy, and the kitten is a calico. The only way a calico is male is if it has Kleinfelter's Syndrome, meaning that Butternut is probably female and has manipulated people into believing she is male.

Areej Mandurah that's true it could be an improvised line indeed - Kate's reaction could be part of the sketch but to me her 'stop it' after that S and M line sounded more like Kate whispering to Kristen rather then Barbara to Furonica. The entire tone is different.
