I'm not even mad they keep redoing this sketch, because it confirms the lore that the teacher quits after one day dealing with these kids.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Sam Rockwell, Adam Driver, and now Jason Sudeikis.

Jason just has that older SNL energy where he fully becomes the character he's playing and just continues trying to get other actors to break. He'll always deserve more credit for his time on SNL

Agreed, this had the energy of the 80s or 90s. Amazing to see it again!

[@DanLoFat]

They just break because he's so committed to the character, I don't think he does it to get them to break because I think he's a good improv artist that really doesn't want to break the actors although it's fun to see that when it happens organically but I don't think he's trying for that What's my luck in an interview when he's 80 years old he's going to come out inside I was always trying to get him to crack them up you know I was playing the character Angle now I knew that would get him.

What she does with her mouth is so spot on. The kind of thing you've never thought about or noticed, but an excellent mimic suddenly makes you aware of.

It doesn't happen very often, though. It's amazing how well she can play both serious, straight-faced characters and wild, psychotic characters.

I almost didn't recognize Cicely. She and the cast just keep getting better and better as well as the writing. Jason's frustration is so good my blood pressure went up watching him.

I totally agree, Christine! I had to keep rewinding it because I was laughing so much, I kept missing some of the dialogue. Mr. Teacher brought to mind Mr. Lewis, my ever-exasperated Monroe Jr. High science teacher (San Jose, circa. 1976 🤦‍♀️) whose hair style, glasses, and wardrobe consisting of short-sleeve shirt & polyester trousers, could have been the inspiration for SNL’s costume department!
