I have said this before, but I'll say it again. Mikey Day has the best concerned/shocked reactions. Any sketch that he plays a character who is surprised or shocked by what they are hearing, he is hilarious. I love the war letters to wife sketches. They are in my top fave SNL sketches. The one where he plays William with a wife Lydia is my favorite of these sketches. Hope they make more. Mikey Day is severely underrated.

"After World War II began in 1939, the terms became more standard, with British Empire historians, including Canadians, favouring "The First World War" and Americans "World War I".

[@glkmee22]

One of my best sketches. So original and very well acted. Great script. Everything. Bravo you guys!

[@whatisupbruh2738]

I would legitimately watch this if it was a real show; Absolutely hilarious 👌

[@Supersupee]

[@agonleed3841]

My favorite skit with Claire Foy!

3:48 thats how my dad answers questions: Me: "dad what are we eating?" Dad: "food" Me: "hey what are you ordering" Dad: "something from the menu" Me: where are we going Dad: out Its annoying and he knows it

Hector Arredondo My mom did that too when I was a kid. 😂

I don't mean to sound melodramatic but please cherish your father while you still have him. I miss my dad every day of the 10yrs since we lost him and the 16yrs since we lost my stepdad. Give them time now because you won't have it later. ❤️ Blessings

Classic Dad

One of my ex-husband's favorite jokes to this day is to wait until you're on a road trip and you're sort of out in the middle of nowhere, and then ask as if a little uncertain, "Do you know where we are?" Then after the unwitting dupe of the joke tries speculating about which town might be the nearest: "No, we're *in the car* 🤣😂😆" He managed to catch me out with that one twice when we were first married, and 20 years later, he has never given up hoping he'll get me to fall for it again. More than one niece or nephew has fallen into the trap while a passenger in the car. 😉 He even tried to pull it on me once when we were in flight: Him - Do you know where we are? Me - If you say "in a plane," I'm going to punch you in the arm with all my might. 👊🏼

“Why would you call it World War One?” This is one of my favorite lines.

[@dtv2031]

The most clever sketch SNL has done in a long time. Very funny and well done.

[@horiyoyusuf5020]

“Henry is the man in the photograph”... “dear James thank you for the pocket watch.”

[@rodrigul3]

I couldn't get past the first letter...hahahahaha. This is GOLD. Mikey Day really made this sketch!!! The face he makes...hahahaha #SNL

[@SMbigpapi]

"OMG!! She Joined The German Army!!!"

[@t5dagreat]

Mikey's reactions are priceless!! Each reply just gets worse and worse!

[@xxIluvyouguysxx]

*THE WAR IS BAD, MARGARET!*

[@bryanbarnes3933]

Why are you calling it World War 1? You think there will be a second?

[@tejaswoman]

Overtones of " *Not great* , Bob!" from _Mad Men_

[@kasiakovacs1687]

Mikey Day is so underrated.

A deployment in France, 1918. "Who is Henry?! Why is he living in our home?" A deployment in Afghanistan, 2008. "Who is Henry?! Why is he living in our home?" Ah, soldiering... Some things never change.
