One of the reasons I love this skit so much is that the premise was so absurd and likely would have failed if they had used someone else. This was MADE for Bowen and he knocked it out of the damn park. SNL has its fair share of conceptually random absurdity sketches that, 85% of the time, end in a lot of scratched heads and "ehhh..."s. But god, when those types of skits are executed and acted flawlessly like this -- when the cast member(s) just go all-in, balls-to-the-wall, batshit crazy committed to the bit -- they are PERFECTION. That 15% of the time that they do work is nothing short of magical and this was the cream of the crop, I'm so glad I got to witness this iconic moment of SNL history

It is true. The ship was built poorly. There were issues with the thin walls of the ship and issues with the boiler room. To make matters worse, the number of lifeboats were removed to make the ship asethetics more appealing; and then the ship was cruising at a faster speed than it should have. The ship was a disaster waiting to happen. Iceberg...Not Guilty! LOL

Do you think it is Yang's writing or the writers on the crew? One would think the character is Yang's to expand but the script came from the writers.

First Chinese American man to be nominated in an acting category. Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Bowen Yang, _Saturday Night Live_ I've waited 45 years for this.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Well, SNL didn't have any Chinese-American cast members up until Bowen Yang. They had Rob Schneider, who's part-Filipino, they had Fred Armisen, who's a quarter Korean (though he did think he was Japanese), and they used Akira Yoshimura, who is one of their stagehands who actually is Japanese. Bowen Yang, much like Eddie Murphy, is the first East Asian cast member to be popular.

[@Rita-yi4vv]

😂😂

[@dietotaku]

i mean the iceberg as a completely valid point, it was white star line's fault for not providing adequate equipment for the lookouts and building a ship with a way undersized rudder so it took forever to turn and the fact that they would have been better off hitting it head-on than trying to dodge it because all of the damage would have been contained to one watertight bulkhead.
