I am this couple. When we met 28 years ago I did on-site promotions for an unnamed major beer company, and she was a special needs elementary school teacher. It really is amazing how much anal brings a couple together.

This! 😂😂😂

[@yoshilu7451]

Jane's fake booty on Temu line is so good. The whole sketch is really a setup for this punchline, and it totally works cause you know the quiet thoughtful nerd girl has been coming up with comebacks in her head since highschool and is just looking for an opportunity to deal them out like playing cards.

[@alexarihani2902]

She’s sharp and quick but doesn’t get into drama or conflict and isn't social so there no place for the wit to shine

In a future Weekend Update I better hear "…and now to give their take on the subject, The Couple You Can't Believe Are Together!"

[@TheLordRam05]

This feels like the kind of couple you would see on a sitcom used as an added element for the main characters to interact with while we watch these two just have a healthy and loving relationship.

[@TheLordRam05]

Like we slowly see the progession of them being together then have a small arc of the guy proposing to her, then the wedding, then a kid. During which the main sitcom cast is struggling to do anything and has tons of bad relationships and drama. Its great, this skit is a favorite!
