Towel Guys - SNL

[@daspicklerick]

This skit is a classic. I could see them revisiting these charecters in the future. Marcello and Kenan are an amazing pair in this.

[@sendtownjose]

So great on so many levels: seeing my native dominican republic finally as a fully formed sketch, not just a nod in a fred armisen talk show, and a dominican version of the 1985 tom hanks and jon lovitz duo, at a time where more sketches like this are needed, just as I was thinking a few days ago. Also, maybe Lorne is now making my dream come true of picking a marcello hernandez centered sketch, where he exploits dominican culture?

[@monroe1814]

This sketch was excellent man! Kenan always makes a great Dominican... Kudos to all the participants..

[@akken2112]

Let's be real. Part of why Kenan can play a Dominican is the fact that African Americans and Dominicans have African Roots.

[@m.4523]

​@@akken2112dude Marcello Hernandez is actually dominican and he look white af. We come in all colors. It's not the look, it's way of doing. I even seen a Chinese that was raised from the age of 1 in DR and he is straight more dominican then I will ever be🤣

@@m.4523 What does that have to do with my factual statement about Dominicans having African roots?

[@m.4523]

@@akken2112 Everything because it's not what makes somebody dominican. The fact that all of the Caribbean and most of South American countries all have some African DNA doesn't make it Dominican lol. Like I said it's the way of doing, the expression etc. Someone from Jamaica acts totally different as from somebody from DR even if they would look alike. It's not the "look" by skincolor it's the way they act, talk etc. If he was acting in a poor way, yeahh it wouldn't pass so.

[@akken2112]

@@m.4523 Dude, you're going way off topic. You need to stop with the semi-white fragility. Some of you Dominicans with your desire to distance yourself from Africa is beyond ridiculous. All I wrote was that part of why Keenan Thompson can pull off accurately portraying a Dominican is because African AMerican and Dominicans have African roots. That is a historical fact that can't be denied. It would be similar to how maybe a Brazilian, Cuban or Puerto Rican could pull off playing a Dominican.
