This Day in SNL History: Penelope

[@srushtikalani1238]

I love how at the end of every skit they show that she wasn't lying 😂😂😂😂😂

[@troofball4]

She's supernatural. The goddess of one upping.

[@atomaraffe]

Yeah, but since no one else is seeing it, is it true though? Or more likely that she thinks in her delusional mind that it’s true?

[@tandyandy8819]

**I broke the sound barrier and drove through the future,...sooooo** My favorite 😅😂

[@abbylynn.1110]

“it’s called a panic-anic attack”

[@carlos-ricardochambers8486]

She's the best comedienne in snl history. Respect to legends but none had as many bizarre laugh-out loud quack characters as Kristen.

[@carlos-ricardochambers8486]

Gerrit Peacock I feel the same way about the airplane scene & the arguement she gets into in the store with the teen..then gets fired. R.I.P. Jan Hooks but there are soooo many Wiig characters i cant remember them all..Gilly..Suprise Lady..Mindy Elise Grayson ('The New York Times said : BAD.') she's a crackpot.

[@carlos-ricardochambers8486]

Gerrit Peacock Melissa McCarthy is another genius. I agree with you on Sara & Amy : i'll pass.

[@kimberlybardin6949]

I love her more than you, sooo...

[@JT-cw9rs]

Gilda Radner and Kate McKinnon to name 2 I personally think are funnier. She is incredible though.

[@Secretzstolen]

I'm obsessed with Kristen Wiig's characters, they're all so freaking funny! They should each have an hour long episode. Penelope, Target Lady, excited lady, Shana, etc

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

And let's not forget Aunt Sue, Mindy Grayson, Dooneese, Gilly, Kathie Lee Gifford, Flirting Girl...so many hilarious characters!

[@TheIrishYoshi]

Eh I think her characters are the least good of that era. Very repetitive and a little annoying. I do mean least good though.

penelope needs to make a return 😅

[@anonymoustranscriber2869]

Well I think that Penelope needs a return, exit and another return after that, just a little more than you need, sooo...

[@markmh835]

I'm Penelope's scheduler. And we are planning on having her return to SNL as guest host this year. But only after she marries Lorne Michaels. And then divorces him, and gets SNL in the divorce settlement. So then she will own SNL. And she plans to shake things up. But first she has to testify at the Trump Impeachment Trial. He will owe his job to Penelope. But he will need to pay her off because she was one of his porn star mistresses. The best one. The one who did the kinkiest acts. And had a 3-way with Ivanka and Jared so he could watch. And after the Impeachment Trial, Trump will appoint her ambassador to Italy. And she will marry the Pope. But then she will divorce the Pope so she can marry Lorne Michaels and gain control of SNL. So then she can guest host. On every episode. So that should probably all happen by April. So stay tuned. Soooooo...... .......

I love Penelope, so. I'm her number one fan, so. Which makes me a bigger fan than you, so. And my adoration for her is so huge that I have to store it in a grain silo. The silo is on Mars, so. And I have to remove the access by sleeping in a vacuum tube and its located at area 51, so.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

I love Penelope more than you... I know her in person, and every week I bring food and crops and jewels over to her house, and sacrifice them to her, on a big alter on her front lawn... Penelope put the alter out in her yard just for me to use! It is made out if the core of planet Mars,. Penelope said I could carve it myself!

[@wildwoodandonyx]

Well, I wrote the 1st Penelope sketch the day before I made the solar system when I was 9 and knew she’d be famous...So, I named my daughter Kristen Wiig. Oh, and her mother’s name is...Morgan Fairchild! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

[@seemsmad3789]

I forgot about that guy! Great throwback reference! Skit idea, they're brother and sister attending gramps's funeral.

[@alienbeef-gravy493]

Penelope is an immensely powerful being that can bend reality at her will, she seems to be able to spread the infection she has. When you get angry at her you get infected, the only way for you to keep the infection is to win a battle with her. These battles destroy the entire world, so she travels to different dimensions, ruining them one by one, the only way to stop the destruction is to regularly shave her head.
