Bailey > rotten tomatoes

[@jakejoker1988]

@Marco You misspelled Avengers Infinity War

[@tomon5598]

Nort It was just soooo weird and random!

[@jedinxf7]

this but unironically

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

Nailed it! 😂

[@babymaker7425]

"If Armie Hammer sees this, it's gonna be like so bad." You don't know the half of it, sister.

[@gracecostilla7850]

the fact bailey is into armmie hammer should have been the first red flag for us

[@DrOctatonic]

@@gracecostilla7850 Right? This aged very well. Or very badly.

[@Tripplebeem]

Homeboy just wanted to eat some human flesh non consensually, can’t he live?

[@archibaldthejester42069]

@@Tripplebeem Homeboy just wanted a lil munch, just a lil crunch.

[@matthewsantosleal]

Considering that in other appearances Bailey has had crushes on The Joker and Buffalo Bill, this has aged beautifully.

[@maiamustache]

“This isn’t KZbin, this is live television.” Little does he know...

[@tawnygaona9114]

"I try to be friends with girls and I get along with guys better" the accuracy is so cringe worthy.

[@peternewturkey]

tawny gaona we all know THIS girl

[@thejanglezclan]

Any girl that says that is a red flag.

[@jpeach250]

@Devishi Raina basically she is saying stuff that she thinks the guys want to hear to get in with « the boys » it could be a crush thing or the girl is insecure about being a girl and therefore asserts being « not like other girls »

[@leaf6356]

we always talk about how annoying those girls are but I just wanna say it's equally as fucking annoying to actually get along with men better and have all these stereotypical judgements come out because of it. women bring drama, men talk about ass and video games. period. I don't want sex, I want good company, and men tend to bring that more often than a room full of women. I don't blame them though, I blame the society that pins women against each other left and right.

[@jg2722]

True, If your girlfriend ever says that , might as well just worry about yourself king and let her go.

[@prankgirl9112]

This is an exact, exact impression of my niece. To a freaking T. This is the most impressive impression I've ever seen on SNL.

[@prankgirl9112]

PaleoDaddy Frighteningly good lol.

[@timkinss]

Get on with young people, guys? I mean, this is a comic exaggeration. If she did the same for 40 somethings...

[@prankgirl9112]

timkinss What?

[@Marathonracer]

timkinss You've evidently lived a very sheltered life. Bailey Gismert is an instant classic because she's real, and if you bothered to READ the comments by Prank Girl and many others who've known her, you'd know that. It's interesting that you're sooooo defensive when it comes to "young people" - one can only guess why.

[@noahhurley-abelew6536]

Instant classic? Oooooook.

[@handoftheking1219]

Keep bringing this character back please!!!

[@callmeishmael4659]

surprised she hasn't been back yet

[@1bwash]

Sooooo funny!

[@bobmoney8689]

Dude, fucking great, she is 1 million percent deserving of her spot on SNL. She wrote and acted this perfectly

[@NotAustinV]

Heidi is seriously going to be a huge star. She is so funny and has amazing potential

[@robzilla730]

Easy on the eyes too!

[@brittonb.8482]

At first I didn’t like her but now she’s one of the standouts for me. She’s incredible. She’ll be remembered.

[@nickpearson5129]

That aged well

[@icypenguinparty]

@Michael Richmond Jr Of course she did. If you're a funny, likeable, good actor, you apparently just don't belong at snl. That's what they seemed to think about Taran at least.

[@rakeldanell]

She's flat.

[@LindsayKBurton]

"I am, like, so stressed every night...with, like, the play..."

[@callmeishmael4659]

".. like I have to bowl with my dad.."

[@ernyhuelke7408]

hehehe sweets!

[@LindsayKBurton]

Hi Erny!!!!!!

[@ernyhuelke7408]

merci sweets!

[@Infinity600gaming]

Tbh I thought she said plague not play 😂

[@callmeishmael4659]

She's outstanding here. The way Bailey drops in "ok, thirsty" was pretty funny and then that she's stressed about bowling with her dad, the delivery of that was perfect. Very funny

[@chocolateheaven882]

"I HAVE TO BOWL WITH MY DAD"

[@brandonjamessharp]

Heidi Gardner is my new favorite cast member.

[@stephen_sezs]

Brandon Sharp she’s the next big thing

[@chadbianchi1549]

Yea, she’s really funny in this one, I know girls exactly like this

[@bodijisattva9333]

Heidi is great as this character. She is a real keeper.. Who has bot seen the behaviour before? Can't wait to see more !

[@jasonmichaelcook2239]

"I try to get along with girls... but I get along with guys better." I've heard a lot of girls say that - she tapped into something with that one.

[@sojournerrose7787]

Trying to be original and unique because they hang out with guys and think they aren’t girly😂😂

[@ModMINI]

@@jasonmichaelcook2239This kind of humor is important because it saves future generations of kids from having to say or believe that "but I get along with guys better" lol

[@fenecofeneco19]

And how do you judge her?

[@Marathonracer]

Every single one of us has had a Bailey Gismert in our high school class, past , present or future! Heidi Gardner is as hilarious as she is brilliantly spot on !!!

[@lagurl1997]

I almost wet my pants when she started crying "I'm SO stressed out" lmao

[@CinemaDust]

Her teen/millennial bit is frightengly real. I'm loving her.

[@anthonymarquez6493]

CinemaDust no millennial is a teen now they are all 20 something's now

[@CinemaDust]

Anthony Marquez hence the slash

[@jorgeacosta9051]

CinemaDust but her character is a teenage movie critic

[@gtZerote]

While most put the upper limit on millennial s in the late 90s, others put it later. Goldman Sachs range goes to 2000 making a millennial as young as 18.

[@anthonymarquez6493]

W Guy Tidwell those born in and after 1998 are part of generation z.

[@hsfhanaa]

The second Heidi Gardner played 'every boxers girlfriend' I knew she was gonna be my favorite cast member so happy she is a regular now

[@ryanocalleigh3072]

Hana'a F.: and she’ll be at her sisters, with the kids.... Colin did you hear that??

[@garrettneiss7297]

Her Kristen Schaal impersonation still has me shook. I’ve never seen anything so uncanny.

[@danmagoo]

Yeah, I hated that bit almost as much as this one. Both went on about 2 hours too long (and yes, it's only a 90-minute show). Clearly people who like this kind of mental torture are entitled to their opinions and their enjoyment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in this case I just really don't get it.

[@jackwilliams5474]

+Dan Magoo I agree with you.

[@aap71]

yes, colin heard that! he can hear you!

[@sophiecg5193]

all of the body language at 0:34 completely sold me how did she get SO accurate and specific

[@stonevisionmedia]

Heidi is going to be next snl star!

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

frank bonini She was in almost every sketch last night

[@sofia9072]

Kate is tho

[@jasonmichaelcook2239]

She has a small supporting role in Life of the Party, and steals every scene she's in. Considering she's in those scenes alongside Melissa McCarthy, she's definitely doing something right.

[@aperson2943]

She has been fire on every sketch since she became a cast member. Bright future on this one. That's coming from a damn near life long SNL fan.

[@ethanwilkins5001]

Agreed. The 2020 cast is the best it's been since 2010.

[@RavenclawNimbus]

She was good since the start. Almost reminds me of Cecily Strong. Cecily _nailed_ the first weekend update sketch she was in. Come to think of it, the character kinda reminds me of Bailey! The character said “Stop ittt” in a similar way.

[@aarondigby5054]

I remember her first season with SNL and she was a sponge now she's breaking into her own, go Heidi.

[@danaeantoine6950]

this actress is so versatile!

[@Famiry_Guy_Ken]

Danae Antoine she's awesome

[@Seantendo]

That's some good-ass character acting.

[@erikshaw7]

Heidi is awesome

[@xordus]

Holy crap, that was a teenage girl if I've ever seen one. Impressive and funny too

[@burgesssam]

Genius. Heidi is so talented.

[@robertgoldman1579]

Sam Burgess she just might be one of the most talented cast members on the show right now. She's definitely more talented than Kate McKinnon, and probably right there with Kyle Mooney as far as ability to act out the nuances of a character. Hopefully she can keep pulling out these hilarious characters.

[@burgesssam]

Robert Goldman They're probably my top 3 actually. I wish more people appreciated/understood Kyle's brand of comedy. He's brilliant. His Brigsby Bear was great.

[@stonevisionmedia]

Seriously good acting too! I love her!!

[@emmerz22]

She’s plays a spot on teenager

[@SamRaycraft]

She is killing it so far. One of the best cast members right now.

[@Lelexismarie]

LMAOOO THAT GIGGLE LAUGH. Where is her Emmy?

[@ebromero2]

I hope this character keeps coming back!

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

Damn, Heidi is a gem

[@ZandeKongo]

The crying is spot on. 🤣😂

[@erikakane2711]

I thought she was parodying an actual person, but whoever thought of this character is a genius. Its like Molly Shannon and superstar “Mary Katherine Gallagher” level funny 😆

Talent.???? is that her real Southlake that’s how she acts or is she acting like a weirdo oh just weird I don’t understand what she’s doing, but I definitely don’t understand what or how that is talent

She's plays the disgruntled plagued wife rolls well, the boxers wife who consistently takes the kids over to her sister's, and the wife of a big time coke dealer. Great performances

[@Tommymang]

We need a segment where this character and Kyle Mooney's Bruce Chandling interact. That would be soooooo funny.

[@jinyubao7956]

Heidi is such a great actress. I enjoyed her role in literally every sketch.

3:35 is funnier here than it was in the original broadcast, for ironic reasons. The best reasons.

[@aharonholtzman1835]

She nailed it 👌

[@DavidJoneswhynotgoglobal]

I love Kate and Cecily but Heidi may be an even better comic actress. Completely commits to her characters and squeezes every possible laugh out of a script. Wonderful performer.

[@ManPursueExcellence]

David Jones Yes, that decade or so of improv really paid off for Heidi. She is so committed to every damn character she plays. Talent like this has become rare these days. I also love Cecily because she plays her characters with such a damn straight face and has a great record of not breaking.

[@SeanRee]

I disagree. She amazing, but the other new cast members are pretty damn good

[@marieearthangel]

Chris Redd's got the goods too.

[@intalent]

They have a solid on-screen cast. Now, they just need better writers to support them

[@hutch1197]

intalent - I'm talking the newest of the new: Chris Redd (who is decent, but not really stand-out), Luke Null (invisible?) and Heidi. She's the only one who has made a considerable footprint so far.

You left out Kenan Thompson though. He's been pretty good
