This is the kind of writing you come up with at 3AM that you later read at 10AM cracking up thinking “what on earth was I thinking” and I’m very glad it turned into a sketch.

[@canaisyoung3601]

So, it's a typical SNL sketch, only the acting saves it from being average to awful?

Nope...it's awful. These morons are getting paid?

[@henry30000]

yes but imagine this is the kind of thing you read and go “what on earth was i thinking “ and you crumble it up in a ball and toss it away forever

[@Mark73172]

Yall some idiots this is based on the movie elevator 😂😂😂

They missed getting her as a cast member before she got famous. I feel like she’s going to be a regular, she fits in so well.

They ate a lot of edibles while writing this 😂🤣

Keenan rarely gets overshadowed. Well played Ayo and Bowen, you did it.

[@cecilkeith1951]

He's really perfected being real odd AND being the straight guy. I love Keenan.

[@codyferrell1031]

Think Keenan has been sloppy for the past couple of years tbh... He is always breaking character with smiles and what-not... Which is totally fine once in a while. But homie literally does it in almost EVERY sketch... But that is just a mild grief... My main problem is just like he doest care about BEING IN CHARACTER at all it seems... Love the man, but he needs to be better... like his old self (AKA before he became an untouchable/un-fireable SNL Legend).

[@DiegoLombardPao]

Kenan is the Simpsons of Snl

[@allisoncastle]

@@codyferrell1031 THANK YOU!!! Lol I’ve said this before and it seemed like no one agrees with my opinion on him. I’m so sick of him smiling in skits. It’s funny the first like, maybe 10 times. But he’s literally done it in hundreds of them. Like you said kind of, it seems like he’s not even trying at alll.

[@glowingfish]

How much SNL has grown technically and artistically in the past decade is amazing. They were able to fit 3 or 4 concepts in a sketch that in the 90s would have been obnoxious voices.

[@jakehayes9945]

And yet....it still sucks. Normally was correct

[@galactus9625]

[@abbyjomorris7780]

I love that they got to reuse that great 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' dress from when Chloe played Marilyn Monroe during Brendan Gleeson's night

[@canaisyoung3601]

But now it's Sarah Sherman wearing it (and looking better in that style).

[@Artemis-goddess]

@@canaisyoung3601She’s lovely and I agree! She pulls it off better because she is a bit softer than Chloe. Closer to Marylin.

[@Eddie_000]

Let's all finally admit that Sarah Sherman is a smokeshow when she dresses normal.

[@ashley.taylor174]

Ayo is so adorable 🥰

[@canaisyoung3601]

Only if you admit that Sarah Sherman's normal style of clashing patterns and loud colors has just as much beauty.

And she liked hooking up the most. Why do you think she was always on the go?

[@laalaa99stl]

Well I for one would be damned curious to know what the descendants of this elevator would look like!

[@6lemans10]

Nope.

[@samarittan9308]

I feel the complete opposite. This is the worst season in SNL history. The writing is sophomoric and is pushing sexist themes. The group of 14-year-old boys writing this dribble needs to be fired before the show is taken off the air.

[@mang4260]

... Yeh, maybe funny "lines", but really not funny sketch. And final was basically... Fulfill ending duty? Remember when SNL was about "not safe jokes"? Watching SNL now is like watching movies with cast of SNL: you expect to see someone you know and appreciate, but you don't really laugh.

[@miroslavassiniavskis7725]

Great critique for disbalanced believers in institutions, laws, order and categories as such in a very funny way :D Would be interesting to see opposite logics for such script. For example during dates instead of romantic topics people would choose to talk about religion, politics or something like that :D

[@merrittmussorgsky2937]

Man SNL has just gotten sooooo bad I want to say lately I left lightly means the lady 25 years SMMFH!!!! I mean let’s be real, the last time SNL was good and I mean actually funny on a consistent basis with an amazing cast with A list celebrity actors and legendary guests that for the most part nearly all gave amazing performances and actually talented musical guests that gave electric performances where nearly every skit was couldn’t contain your laughter drop dead rewind hilarious but you couldn’t unless you taped it on a vhs prior ;) lol was the norm. Let’s go back to that era, now it’s 90+% unwatchable, revolving door never remember cast members for the most part, cringe worthy performances from the cast and who the hell is that nearly a celebrity guest hosts who are soooo obviously reading their lines cause why not nearly all the cast members do it smh every now and then you’ll see and hear one funny azz line like “ there’s enough food for the mouths” like whoever wrote that should be writing a lot more cause they shyyt is funny as hell, let’s be honest, most of the skits and ideas are just not funny they’re just plain stupid like what moronic third grader came up with this bullshit??? And you’re lucky enough just to hear one funny line forget about the whole funny can’t forget skit, you’ll be waiting all year that’s the least, if not years smh it’s really gone downhill and been sliding for a long time, no, it’s just plummeting off of a cliff. Oh, how I miss the days of the height of SNL where you had in living color competing every weekend on Sundays, who has a better episode better skip that I guess better performances. And I loved me some SNL back in the day but unless it was one of those unforgettable hosts and episodes. They still remember today. What’s the timer preferred in living color. Got to love and respect where JLO and Jim Carrey both started out as well, so many others including pretty much the Wayans family lol, but I think David Allen Grier and Sammy Davis and of course Jim Carrey were side splitting hilarious!!! In between skip got to see some fine azz Fly Girlz shaking their thangs and the who’s who of the up and comers in the brand spanking new genre of original underground birth place of Hip Hop mmmmhuh that alone makes it stand out amongst any other comedy skit shows. Man now I’m in the mood to watch me some in Living Color! Hahaha

[@The__Outlaw]

SNL is missing an opportunity . They should have a cast member , dressed like Sleepy Joe , wandering around , shuffling in and out of bits , as they are performing them. Wearing pajamas , and a sleeping cap. Sitting with the band , sleeping in a chair. And NOT acknowledging him at all. Would make it funny.

[@LeL-q9e]

Thumbs down! This is stupid. Only someone from this generation would think along those lines, because this is what they think about all day long. SNL has gone downtime toilet.

We live in a society. And if you are stuck in an elevator, you have to hook up. Also, this sketch is a better post-apocalypse scifi movie than most post-apocalypse scifi movies. It drives me absolutely insane when the world ends and everyone is like 'oh, we're just going to ignore our opportunity to rebuild society to be less neurotic about sex and nudity despite the fact we might destroy the species by preserving those antiquated derangements.' Huge pet peeve.
