It’s almost as if writers are extremely important for good sketches week after week.

[@chuckaudio3191]

Nice.

[@ashleybrajae5676]

I’m a filmmaker myself, writer, director and producer and as screenwriter we are the foundation that is build upon to make great shows! It’s work but I love it!

[@ricosuave6898]

Well, it definitely improves the odds but when you've been watching SNL for as long as I have, it's by no means a guarantee.

[@teresahickman6276]

They are the most important

[@its_jjk]

I don't think anyone said otherwise

[@iainmarshall8093]

I wonder who decided "Mikey gets cuckolded" is a specific genre of sketch at SNL 😂

[@crosstudio]

whoever it was should get a raise.

[@Paineinyourblank]

except for Matt Shatt... hes the king

[@crosstudio]

@@Paineinyourblank yes, Shatt with two Ts.

[@maryschroeder1533]

I'm pretty sure Mikey came up with it himself. He writes all of those.

[@JamesKlass79]

I just wanted a policy!

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

The twist in the State Farm skit ending was SUCH a cherry on top! Chef's kiss, Writers. This shit doesn't write itself! Pay the writers, end the strike, and get back to making seriously funny skits!

[@asherhayes2429]

The State Farm sketch was great but in general SNL needs new writers. 80% of the sketches have been truly unwatchable they've been so bad. Weekend Update has been consistent but in general they need to clean house.

[@emu314159]

That sketch works because the Jake from StateFarm character really sucks in the actual commercials. It's the worst kind of corporate design-by-committee bullshit. By contrast, Flo and the Limu Emu (and Doug) are glorious insanity.

[@stevenclark1662]

​@emu314159 Jake from state farm wasn't a character. He was a guy named Jake that worked at State Farm.

[@_Tree]

Guest hosts Michael B. Jordan, Meg Tha Stallion, and Pedro Pascal were hilarious this season 💯💯

[@montyb10009]

They were!

[@stefaniem2872]

That wasn’t Meg Tha Stallion. That artist’s name is SZA.

[@katcraig7525]

Travis Kelce was great. That American Girl skit will be a classic.

[@krisjones5614]

Don’t forget Quinta

[@kab9706]

So many great guests and skits this season

[@ellierose6]

Pedro and the team need an Emmy for Mario Kart.

[@nbbim2012]

Pedro needs an Emmy for every sketch -- just a superb episode!!! Keke's episode was also fantastic

[@johrathbun]

Nah, I'm thinking Pedro with Lisa from Temecula!!

[@ellierose6]

@@johrathbun That wasn't pre-taped. It was more of a physical comedy routine paired with Ego's impeccable timing, and being live was part of it's success. It's always funny when people break, sure. It was a different sort of sketch altogether.

[@michaepwright]

Second that!

[@SirGenesis206]

His whole episode was perfect.

[@distorted_kirbo]

Please pay your writers we want SNL back Edit: I don’t want to be that person but I’m glad everyone agrees. We need our weekly dose of SNL!!

[@lillyryann]

I literally got tickets to SNL and then the writers went on strike and the show couldn’t happen! I am so devastated but there is no SNL without the amazing writers. I’m heartbroken but I support them!!

[@randyhowey7414]

And Late Night with Seth Meyer's and Crew too !!

[@alicia27ish]

Right!! And Family Guy and American Dad 😢

[@mailelouie658]

I’m dying too!!! I miss SNL and my Late Night!! Colbert and Seth!! PAY THE WRITERS G*D D***MN’*!!!!

[@jasonsmith530]

Let the writers Decide when to go back. Maybe 2024?

[@eliza_naomi]

the writers leveled up this season 100%, they better get what they need cause i want to see more seasons like this

[@natleonoudakis29]

They have Mike Diva now, all will be good

[@canaisyoung3601]

They did. That's why WGA strike ended in early October (it took another month for the SAG-AFTRA strike to end, but hey, it's over).

[@mikewilliams4534]

The State Farm skit is one of the best I’ve seen in years.

[@bravetiger6836]

Underrated

[@aspamok]

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen an SNL sketch where Mikey gets his family taken over by a marvel actor I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird it happened twice

[@heathercook9466]

The Jake From State Farm is one of the best skits SNL has ever done. Michael B Jordan *chef’s kiss

[@skittlznt2611]

The way I stood up and cheered when Limu Umu and Doug showed up at the end 😂😂😂 that was an awesome sketch from beginning to end 👌🏾

[@stuniccals2499]

Okay, but I would genuinely watch a 8-10 episode long Mario Kart show staring Pedro Pascal

[@jessicatwist9903]

I was looking to see if anyone else felt the same way lol I would watch the shit out of that 😂

[@matthewweng8483]

I just noticed he even got stuck making his sandwich with the heels of the bread. Nice touch.

[@BeaulieuTodd]

His lettuce and mustard sandwich. 😂

[@crystalshaw8744]

I hope Michael B. Jordan was nominated for an Emmy. He was hilarious.

[@ardisfaire]

"He looks like when they dressed up ET for Halloween!" 😂😂😂😂 Why is this so accurate lol?! And I'd totally watch a live Mario Cart with Pedro Pascal!!!

[@timmmahhhh]

The State Farm one was my favorite, then again I don't watch too much tv in any form. The State Farm one was brilliantly dark, wow.

[@maekshift5096]

Honestly a majority of the enjoyment I get out of SNL is from pre-taped, more well produced sketches. It opens up the door for a lot more creativity, and they could probably pivot very well into a large scale online sketch based channel that would translate well into shorts/tiktoks, as well as continued YT uploads

The Southwest Airlines “Computer Jokes” are spot on. Their network is a Frankenstein nightmare of multiple apps that do the same thing because nobody gives a shit. My boss told me “We are the Wal-Mart of airlines.” Then HIS boss echoed the exact same thing word for word. Anyone who criticizes the pile of crap they built, they are swiftly shown the door. I left after I pointed out the pile of dog shit on the floor that everyone pretend not to see so they wouldn’t have to pick it up.
