[@asdabir]

I just love it when Cecily plays a foreign person. The accents sound so good

[@ren2704]

Sorry it's not good at all. Not even remotely french!

[@Kherce73]

SO good :D

[@ren2704]

Je me demande qui est le plus con de nous deux avec tout le temps que vous avez perdu à écrire cette réponse! Lol :p

[@asdabir]

Marathonracer haha thanks, well I’m not French, I just know what sounds good to my ears. I did have a French co worker many years ago and it does sound like hers but hers was a lot stronger, probably a regional thing. Cecily really is a treasure though.

[@EsthledoKid97]

Only French people will say it sucks lol

[@jkl799]

Kate can just look off into the distance and it's funny

[@neomargs]

JKL I saw that part too!

[@irosencrantz882]

JKL, she was good, but, honestly, my favorite performance was from Cecily. She was awesome!

[@lucylu4102]

I know - she is so brilliant!!

[@alexanderpanayi7212]

Yea or looking up at the stage.lol

[@AaronHatcher]

She looks bbn like she sees a sniper lol

True. But this wasn't good.

[@freedapeeple4049]

Their acting skills are amazing. I'm quite sure either of them could successfully play virtually any role in any genre.

Agreed!

Her makeup, flappy neck and hair style are perfect 😂 The accent and voice are more a pastiche but that’s ok because it’s Kate McKinnon, she’s great ;)

This is Brigitte Bardot😉🤣👏

[@elizabethholden9686]

Exactly!

[@gingernightmare9152]

Bardot has been out of her mind for 20 yrs now. Super funny but also sadly realistic.

[@Jermbuf14]

One of the most underrated skits in SNL recent history.

[@grenpier]

Jermbuf14 i strongly agree

[@fodroumpouras4038]

Yes For me it is the best. Top of the top Kate. The best member of snl.

[@fodroumpouras4038]

Actually, dumb fuck, it's not underrated at all.

[@duoslinger4325]

I like how Kate says "homeaux".

[@ixlnxs]

I have a t-shirt that says "heaumeau". I bought it in my native Belgium, where long vowels are the Dutch equivalent of the gay lisp in English. And I wear it down in Morocco, where I live most of the year.

[@mria621]

ixlnxs Are you safe wearing it in Morocco? I hope so!

[@ixlnxs]

mria621, sure. The city is tolerant, I have a European passport, and it goes over most people's heads. The Moroccans who "get it" are gay or gay-friendly. Remember there are more atheists in the muslim world than in the USA.

Well Kate McKinnon's Bardot is pretty dead on.

[@Lelexismarie]

“WE ARE wOKE 👀”

[@smartazz61]

Alexis Robinson We are woke? Yeah, I guess mocking an older actress that unlike many hasn't made herself look like a freak of nature with plastic surgery makes you woke. If you don't follow the party line then you're a horrible person that probably doesn't even deserve to live right? Try reading "Gulag Archipelago". A true account of the horrors of communism. Even the incorrect assumption that the Kulaks were evil perpetrators of anti party sentiment was enough to cause their murders. In turn, literally a hundred million people starved to death with the loss of the Kulak's agricultural expertise. Progressives are doing a fair job of laying the groundwork for modern socialist hell on earth. Read the book, or in your case the CliffsNotes. If you allow it to sink in, you'll see what the progressives are doing. I imagine most have no idea. They just think they're creating a eutopia. But to simplify the thing. Not going along with the me too thing shouldn't cause you to lose the respect you rightfully deserve by virtue of living a long rich life. One that no one could say was used to do anything but enrich people's lives. In this case, SNL and you are bullying Grandmothers simply for the fact that they think differently than you. Why is diversity wonderful until it becomes a diverse thought process? You all are horrible hypocrites and bigots and should shut the hell up until you can practice what you're preaching. Diversity my ass. Yeah, what happens to those that THINK different?

[@Lelexismarie]

smartazz61 Thank you so much for the extensive response. I do not appreciate you saying that myself and SNL are “bullying grandmothers” no no no, I simply quoted “we are wOKE 👀” because of the way Kate McKinnon did it. Nothing to it. But I’m glad myself and others got a history lesson.

[@smartazz61]

Alexis Robinson First, you posted on you tube. Second, you wrote three words. A bit difficult to know exactly what side you were rooting for but I took a shot. Third, your post was simply the closest one to my finger when I decided to bash SNL. It looked like you might be cheering SNL on (once again, 3 words, I'm not a mind reader) I figured if you were on SNLs side I'd get two birds with one stone. If you weren't no big deal because surely NO ONE that writes WE ARE WOKE and nothing else is really not taking any of it or themselves very seriously. You cant get yourself in a huff over a perfect stranger that was quite obviously working with his own personnel Agenda. SNL was my target. You just happened to be the person that to me appeared to not be real worried about the whole thing. Now, UN bunch panties, take a bong hit or chant oooohhhhhhhmmmmmm, and order up Gulag Archipelago. No matter which way you lean its something everyone should know about. Especially in this climate of rich and powerful people that are desperately pushing the socialist agenda. Imagine, in Canada, soon the U. S. If your little five year old boy comes home and says, "daddy, I want to get boobs and be a girl. Well in Canada, not getting the boy into the doctor's office for hormone blockers before he can enter puberty could possibly get your child taken away from you by the state. I'm not making that up. Google it. If stories like that don't make you at least wonder a little about whether or not there are powerful people that would do ANYTHING to take your freedoms away, then you're probably on the side of giving the poor little chap hormone blockers. Now, after all this, do you still think you had very much at all to start me writing? Your post was just THERE! And if you REALLY care what a stranger attached to your KZbin post, you're spending too much time on the internet. Yes, I spend too much time on the internet.

[@Lelexismarie]

smartazz61 Look I’m with you, I don’t live under a rock. I obviously want to live in a world that values the choice to make their own decisions with their body in the future, not have to go through constant racism (yes this is a hell of a run-on I just don’t know when to break), equal pay amongst everyone, and where #metoo can become #notanymore. I get the points you make, but SNL a show that comedy-fies many things that happens in this day and age is for a lighthearted laugh. Kate McKinnon one of my favorite cast member on the show had a funny way of saying “we are wOKE” AND I f***king laughed my ass off. That’s all.

[@kat35lulu88]

Alexis Robinson I thought that was funny the way Kate opened her eyes so wide!!! And she did it for the cat meowing. Something so simple can be so funny.......

[@MrGayle_]

Nailed it. Kate and Cecily easily the best on SNL

[@julz3tt3]

Agreed. True facts

[@waynej2608]

Easily. And, easy on the eyes, too, esp Cecily.

[@xomarahdickison7567]

Cecily is spot on with the accent. How she changes the inflection on the vowels is so good.

[@Mac-dt3iz]

HAHAHA The makeup they did to imitate Bardot is spot on.

[@mouila]

No, here the actress is still beautiful. The real one is just awful and mean.

[@SuperJNG18]

Why do I feel like Kate muttering "You are freaking old too, bitch," was thrown in to make Cecily laugh?

[@waynej2608]

That was funny. Actually, I believe Bardot is a bit older. Either way, Deneuve has aged better.

[@chrisdesjeunes3691]

Pretty sure it was scripted, you can tell the laugh is a nervous one, regarding Catherine Deneuve's age, who in real life is at least 10 years - if not more - younger than Bardot, but still she was in her mid 70s then.

[@britt4130]

I can’t fucking handle Kate and the meows 😂😂

Brittany G that shit was gold....

[@esomoi7197]

Cecily is so amazing at accents

[@omarchandler4983]

Cecily sometimes jumps right out there with a world class performance like this satire and Kate just feeds her the ball over and over. Great comedic acting.

[@chrisdesjeunes3691]

You do realize that Cecily was playing the straight man to Kate here, right?

[@bicarbonat1]

The way Cecily Strong under-speaks "I tell her, 'Don't say this one'" as Kate McKinnon launches into the cat anecdote, and then says "Oh, she gonna do it" with that fatalistic sip of wine 😂💯 Excellent straight-man delivery, purely in-character

[@tmhwriter]

Great comment. I keep laughing every time I read it.

[@sw9618]

1:59 poor Catherine Deneuve. "so many of the things this woman says are problematic" ...and so many things they make poor Cecily say are to set up MacKinnon's punchlines..

[@Marathonracer]

jv Evidently, you don't know much about the great history of "straight men" in comedy. Lou Costello was nothing without Bud Abbott to set him up. Without Cecily, Kate would have less to take off on . And Cecily's retorts were priceless, calling attention to Bardot's insanity, like the perfect one you linked to ! To call her "poor Cecily" shows a lack of understanding of her role and just how important it actually is.

It's normal in French the letter H is mute. WE NEVER PRONOUNCE THIS SOUND IN OUR LANGUAGE! Try to pronounce a letter or a sound who doesn't never exist in your parlance. Now I'm able to pronounce an English H. I can say hi and not I to salute someone. At school, our English teachers don't teach us to pronounce the letter H in the English style. And we also don't pronounce the S of the end of the words, the letter S is mute too. A lot of our letters are mute in French by example the W is pronounce in the German way like the letter V.
