[@kitsunefire1]

That voice for Rachel was dead on! Hahaha, she did that impression perfectly

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

+Ayden Wolfe lol i had the video minimized and i thought it was jennifer aniston.

[@gambitwilson7880]

Ikr!!! I wonder why she hasnt done more Jennifer Aniston skits?

[@Redloxodonta]

+Gambit Wilson I dont think she had the impression down until now...she talked about it in an interview for Trainwreck before this season aired.

[@ajwoodall31]

+Gambit Wilson good point! hopefully they will bring it in more...

[@chartle1]

+Gambit Wilson I guess it wasn't the right time.

[@comedycentraluk]

Wow that impression was so so good!

[@estebancasanova]

it really was.

[@BetteDavis19]

+Comedy Central UK I KNOW!

[@BronsBiggestfan]

Yea! Uhuh! That's right uhh yea!

[@tonyatthebeach]

+Comedy Central UK could it BE any better?

[@BetteDavis19]

tonyatthebeach I KNOW!

[@johnryan6019]

That Jennifer Aniston impression was spot on.

[@Joelbrandan]

I was waiting for kool aid guy to come in and say "OOHHHH YEAHHHH"

[@LTrotsky21stCentury]

+John Ryan Oh? Yeah! Oh? Ok! Yea, impressions? OK!

[@TheGreatBlackBird]

+John Ryan Even the voice itself

[@calebpursley7644]

+shafta99 agree to disagree a few select women are airheads dolmen too

[@juliancarroll1347]

+John Ryan One of the funniest SNL bits I've seen in a while

[@terraventusaqua123]

Ross had a black girlfriend, so Rachel has seen exactly ONE black person...

[@roccocleavenger3851]

+Robert Jay Ross worked with a black woman at the museum in the episode Joey worked at the museum with ross, Joey and Ross dated a black girl when was moving in, and they both also dated another black girl who was the paleontologist. Me and my dad were thinking today trying to think of some.

[@hugglescake]

+Rocco Cleavenger But Michael Che is a black GUY.

[@gambitwilson7880]

+Pop philosophy I was thinking that, too!!! Well at least until I remembered that im heterosexual male so I've never seen even 3 seconds of Friends.

[@roccocleavenger3851]

I know that's the difference lol. hugglescake

[@governz4232]

+Gambit Wilson Wtf? Firstly, you're clearly not straight because you feel the need to point that out. Secondly, many ''heterosexual males'' watched Friends too. The final episode was watched by 50 million people. You clearly know nothing about the series.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

The pure shock and awe and complete disbelief from the audience when Rachel Green start talking his hilarious! Got to be the most accurate impersonation I've ever seen.

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

That Rachel voice impressions wasn't just good, it was SCARY. There is some supernatural shit goin on, I'm so confused, impressed, and had to pause to make sure furniture around me wasn't moving on it's own.

[@calijude]

+Event Horizon Productions! Soooooo SPOT ON! AWESOME, comment! Loved the "furniture moving"!!!!!! lol

[@jtw.111]

+Event Horizon Productions I know, it's like Vanessa Bayer has the same vocal cords as Jennifer Aniston or something lolz

[@BetteDavis19]

+Event Horizon Productions I KNOW!

[@chiarab4827]

+Event Horizon Productions Gosh yeah when she first started speaking I was like "wow that is dead-on" and then once she started listing off the other friends it gave me crazy brain goosebumps. I am pretty sure that if someone closed their eyes throughout that whole segment they would have thought it was actually Jennifer Aniston.

[@kellismith8994]

+Chiara B holy shit guys...that really was some kinda possession excorsist thing...I hope vanessa is ok...funny as fuck tho

[@sunfireThu]

The Rachel impression was *dead on*. Vanessa Bayer is a very talented woman with her impressions.

[@alibali69]

WHY DID IT TAKE VANESSA THIS LONG TO DO THIS IMPRESSION OH MY GOD

[@SayYesToAwesome]

Alexandra white girls Always be white girling

[@modarXmodar]

Rachel begins here 3:21

[@madisonashleyyy]

Thanks :)

[@samrat447]

Thanks a lot!!

[@butterflyqueen9260]

modarXmodar thanks fam

[@eclectica1]

@burteriksson Clearly you missed the part where they took a shot (and a significant one) at Hillary. Or maybe your triggered ass just has selective viewing and hearing.

[@rishiheda8186]

Bless you

[@harshitachaudhry3536]

OMG!! just close your eyes and listen to her voice

[@LindseyLoodles]

Harshita chaudhary I

[@Xycron]

Holy shit that was perfect

[@babyvision6924]

“Pheebs is gonna bring her new boyfriend and he's not gonna fit in” Literally describes about half of the episodes

[@xXDamolaXx]

Or he’ll initially fit in and then randomly have a terrible character trait.

[@oscarfun100]

​@@xXDamolaXxShooting a bird...

[@rindarling]

damn... that was spot on....best rachel impression ever

[@Mcfaddenc15]

RinTluangi Ralte haha I know 😂I will never look at Rachel the same way again!

[@auti9401]

when she was like "and you know Ross" I literally screamed! She sounds exactly like Jen Aniston OMGGG

[@maleahmanning5807]

Vanessa's Rachel impression was perfect. Friends is my all time favorite show and I'm really impressed

[@okrajoe]

Perfect impression.

[@SayYesToAwesome]

okrajoe shut your racist mouth

[@giareneeble]

This impression still blows my balls off. Fucking outstanding.

[@Mcfaddenc15]

I will never look at Rachel Greene the same way again. That was spot on! 😂

[@SayYesToAwesome]

claire mcfadden Claire YOU. ARE. RACIST

[@RonnieStewartJr]

This is seriously like the best impression I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂

[@mrengulfeddirector]

"Sometimes!" I died.

[@LLL-ki9lg]

The Jennifer skit is hilarious. That was a great job.

[@BlueyMcPhluey]

No laser time or laser time replacement????? Funny jokes??? I love it!!

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

This is part one, it will be in part 2

[@GarthShoemaker]

"Hey, that's a great Rachel impression. Let's put that on the show!" "Cool! Should we write some good content to go with the impression?" "Nah"

[@rd3179]

hahaha

[@sillybilly4710]

Oh yeah! Yeah Yeah! Oh Yeah! Ross!

[@TheRetroGuy2000]

+Garth Shoemaker This is exactly what I was thinking. How hard would it have been to come up with a few good lines? It's a great impression, but would have been so much better with actual material.

[@calisongbird]

😂😂😂😂👍🏼

[@deletedwaffles]

+RJ Guy The thing is, if I were to imagine the actual show Rachel there it would probably be the same.

[@dollarrecordswithjosh795]

Vanessa Bayer is SNL's secret weapon - she is brilliant.

[@beadabriglia4954]

PERFECT RACHEL IMPRESSION OMG

[@SniffyPoo]

that is the best Rachel i've seen

[@LiliRoseMcKayMusic]

Vanessa Bayer is a queen

[@gemmaskate]

I'm so glad Vanessa Bayer finally got to do her Rachel. It's incredible. i wanna see her do something with actual Jennifer Aniston

[@potsyband]

It's been a couple years, so you might have seen, but m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpO6g52Xn91ggqc

[@leob4403]

She did do it the first time 3 years before this (season 38)

[@JordanLeeUK]

Literally crying with laughter, Vanessa smashed it

[@_zhinco1223]

best rachel impression ever ! haha

[@VladSicoe]

Brilliant Jennifer Aniston impression!

[@angelogaminde8760]

Yes! SNL knows that I like the Weekend Update for Michael and Colin and not just for Zoolander cameos. They finally caught on!

[@antrosania1047]

It's been five hours: Part two, s'il vous plait?

[@aguilacahc000]

I know!

[@morganpenny6154]

If it's been five hours go outside

[@dhruvbhatnagar4180]

hands down Vanessa's best SNL performance ! I wish there were other skits where she played Rachel

[@leob4403]

She did another one on news update with jen aniston herself. She also did it in season 38 when zach galifianakis was host

[@Mimi4826]

That was the best impression of her I've seen. She was dead on

[@jakesimmons8422]

Best impressions from Vanessa I have ever seen

[@esotericed8736]

That was an amazing impression.

[@poindexterflex3528]

That initial gasp from the crowd though! They knew she frickin' nailed it from the get go.

[@zeylagarza6780]

THE HILARY THING OMGOMG😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hannahsearcy1845]

Oh my god that was so annoying. The impression was perfect, but all she said was "yeah"

[@Trumpetjoe40]

Boy, if you think this small snippet was annoying, try having to watch Friends without being a fan for 7 damn years.

[@hannahsearcy1845]

+asstomouth100 I'm a fan of the show, and I've seen all the seasons several times, and Rachel always kinda got on my nerves, lol.

[@Alice45894]

asstomouth1000 But why would you watch it if you didn't like it?

[@rishiheda8186]

That was kinda the intention

[@SimenHof]

This was one of the best Weekend Updates ever. Just everything was spot on

[@bluekinopio9390]

Holy fuck best Jennifer Aniston impression EVER

[@joseveijanen3715]

There were two black girls in friends, Ross dated both of them.

[@anisurfer84]

Wow, I had no idea Vannes Bayers is so good with impressions.

[@JusttheGayBits]

those fucking overalls lol

[@potsyband]

The Bright, Kauffman, Crane credits at the end 😂🤣

[@mp3holder94]

Vanessa Bayer is my favorite actress on here and this is why!!! she's so funny!

[@Koley411]

The Rachel impression was really good! I just think she didn't say "honey" enough!

[@zcdarktide]

omg colin is so cute my heart melts

[@ReneeC43]

Haha this is great and that is a PERFECT impression

[@Magitroopa]

Loved Weekend Update so much!

[@williamsanders2439]

1:42...just "Hillarious"! lol

[@Alice45894]

I just realised there was only like one black person in Friends

[@Star71476]

Alice Mc yeah that’s it and it was ross’ gf lol

[@deezeannie5548]

Alice Mc the girl who just moved in a couple blocks from them is also black

[@SayYesToAwesome]

Alice Mc BLACK LIVES MATTER

[@vick7224]

MORNING IS HERE THE MORNING IS HERE SUNSHINE IS HERE

[@bearsantos7102]

Vanessa's Rachel impression is perfect.

[@MotherLutalica]

this was too accurate omg!!

[@twinsrookie]

Vanessa Bayer's Rachel impersonation was spot on!! That was SCARY GOOD!!!

[@beachstreet101]

The best Jennifer Aniston impression I've ever seen. Jennifer Aniston does act like that in interviews. If she was mimicking Rachel on friends then Jennifer was playing herself.

[@marissanieto297]

So good! Love it!

[@jevonmahoney]

THAT RACHEL WAS ON FUCKING POINT!! :)

[@justhereformemes]

im crying. that was perfect

[@liv4vivv]

That Rachel impression was spot on! she's gooood

[@mcpeez010]

She is amazing! That was just incredible!

[@charmed122098]

Omg YAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! They finally let Vanessa use her Rachel impression, probably cause of all the support after her interview with Jimmy Kimmel

[@2ndplace1]

Omg that impression was so good!

[@ManbatDetective]

😂I didn't know how much I needed this, Jennifer Aniston on Jennifer Aniston👌😂😂😂😂 💀

[@yojiviriak675]

4:42 What's that? 😂😂😂😂

[@maggielowman2210]

The impression was great and I love friends I binged watched it until I watched every season and episode

[@criss857]

[@oliverjohnkallesoe443]

She killed it in first five seconds

[@OtherStrange]

oh my god this impression is spot on 😂😂

[@BinkyStaIIs]

Spot on.

[@saadi9397]

She killed it!

[@andywalsh5883]

That might be one of the best impressions I've ever heard

[@bluboo8]

lmao I remember when she did that on a late night show ! can't remember which one though

[@adanmartinez8709]

that voice is on point 😂😂

[@TEHNOOB916]

Spot on!

[@deeplyconfused13]

I was not expecting a lot, but that impression is fucking spot on.

[@lukeshdoesntknow]

You can almost pinpoint the moment the audience realizes how good her impression is

[@DC9848]

Great impression!!!!!

[@newpurplerider9802]

That impression is spot on!

[@asadshahid7387]

wow that is very very very very accurate.
