I love how it's the X-Men look from the 90s, but with the dialogue from the 80s where everyone is yelling at each other all the time.

It also is blatantly calling out how Wednesday was just goth Young Sheldon in the Xmen universe with the Addams family brand. Oops did I say that out loud

She really killed it. She was great in every sketch. Her ability to really commit to a character elevated the whole show. She could actually fit right in as a cast member

[@JasonTaylor90210]

She's not that great.

[@formermpc10]

Ha! She is the flavor of the month to attract a certain demographic. She can only play one type of character well, which is why the sketches were very similar. Evil girl on game show. Evil girl on road trip. Exorcist parody.

[@christheghostwriter]

@@formermpc10 this is a real dipshit take. The idea that she played the same character in those three sketches is just fucking stupid. And the funniest character she played was the wigger chick on the Ridiculousness sketch, which completely obliterates your sad efforts here.
