[@897trisha]

Oh the accuracy! I’m a premenopausal amateur ceramicist in a fleece vest giving away my shitty pieces to family members. 😂😂 I feel so represented😂😂

[@xletragedyx]

I've wanted to start forever. I'm gonna be middle aged before I get the time

[@Markus1894]

‘It started off as the Virgin Mary with child’ ‘And what is it now?’ ‘A bowl’ Amazing.

[@LZ2ME]

As a ceramicist who teaches adult and kid lessons… these pots look good compared to some of the work I’ve seen

[@SusanBame]

Takes me back to the '90s when I took pottery classes at our town's community center. I had three teenagers, a house, a husband, and a full-time job. Pottery class on Saturday morning was my therapy.

[@catshez]

As a fellow Mud-slinger (our nickname in the UK) and teacher, I must agree with you 😂 I want that mug !! 😃😅 Somebody had a lot of fun throwing those last pots ! Great work if they had never been on a wheel before ! ( I do believe I have made some vaginas in my time..) 😱😆😆😆

[@IGarrettI]

You must be a bad teacher then

[@catshez]

The "bar" for art has lowered so far, that this rings true. Ever been to a hippie fair?

[@paytonvanwinkle4651]

These two are really coming to their own as stars of the show and I love it. This gives me the vibe of an old Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon sketch.

[@san18ful]

I was thinking the same

[@LindaC616]

I think that's what they were trying for. Except no one was trying to make the other break

[@LiliLawless]

Whiskers 'R We!!!

[@LindaC616]

[@jjplano]

I like them both, and they're better actresses, but they're not even close as funny as those two, and can't bounce from each other as well. also, they're inherently hot, doesn't help

It never looks dirty because it never looks clean. That's what i told my mom about my room 😂😅

[@soni8995]

😂😂😂 Nice one.

[@carlasidhom5785]

I would love to know what prompted this sketch. It feels so specific. Like they KNOW these women. All 3 crushed this.

[@KCNwokoye]

Emma has a terrific way of enunciation and diction expression. Such a finesse actress.

[@TheBasher-_-]

And she's hot. Don't forget that.

[@hedwigrocks24]

Yes, especially when she said, "sharted out as the Virgin Mary with child" 😂

[@BebbiaJ]

You know a sketch has tanked when a top comment is focused on enunciation.

[@thekiss2083]

Finesse is a noun, not an adjective

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

She has a speech impediment. And you have a very loose grasp on how words work.

[@xxxafterglow]

Damn, this is accurate in every aspect, but especially the tone. Ceramicists are a unique breed. Someone needs to write that macho man bun glass blower sketch

[@897trisha]

lol yesss!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Should have done that when Jason Momoa hosted. Oh, well. Next time...

[@VangoghsDoggo]

As a potter, it was nice to see this! Every student makes all kinds of "pots" the first year, thinking they will give them as presents. All the recipients have that reaction! I didn't give away anything until my third year, when I could actually make a bowl! Made everyone in the extended family a set of 3 nesting mixing bowls. When my mother passed, I was going to take her set as I never made one for myself. Her husband would not give them up! I let him keep them, he loves them and uses them like she did!

[@LindaC616]

D'aw! I'm sorty you lost your mom, and I hope you eventually get a chance to make yourself a set.

[@The_Real_Mier]

Sorry about your mom, but glad to see that you’re not bragging about your own work while slashing other people for gifting their pottery when they wanted to….. 🤨

[@TheRealRedFlashlight]

You tell 'em.

[@samredbird4225]

Bless your little heart

[@devious2172]

When you're learning, what do you do with all the crappy stuff you initially make? You can't melt it back down right? Do you just toss it all?

[@dmiranda70420]

Your husband's wedding band was such an underrated joke.

[@mogulmayhem]

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

This gave me flashbacks of the spoon holder I made for my mom in Kindergarten. It was lumpy & dung -colored but she used it until I was in college..

As someone who has recently started taking pottery classes, I am looking forward to my family members' reactions when receiving my "very creative" bowls for Christmas LOL

[@stevenshea990]

you mean **finger basins**

[@Briguy1027]

"Merry Christmas Mom, it's your vagina . . . "

[@JoeO.]

As the parent of a 4th grader who takes an after school pottery class, I approve this sketch.

[@coolboss999]

"Is that a replica of your vagina?" I was NOT expecting this response 😭💀

[@cwg73160]

Jfc you’re still making comments about not expecting things no one in their right mind would think about commenting. Tf is wrong with you?

[@j.davidsapp6212]

"We had to wrangle a 'possum out of the compost." Brilliant!😆🤣😂 Really great work from all cast here!

[@1984watchr]

OMG The irony.... I tried my hand at pottery a few years ago and I swear to you, I had designed that exact "mug" I kid you not!... When she pulled it out, I died. It had the exact same shade of pink color - the handle was in the shape of the exact same wavy piece of clay shaped with your hand and just stuck onto the side.... I needed that today. 💀

[@1984watchr]

Oh, and it was also heavy as a brick. Wow. lol

[@rogeryee5211]

“People want pottery made by a pre menopausal lady wearing a fleece vest”. So true!

[@AndrewBehm]

3:30 exactly four coins being in the foyer bowl is so accurate

[@tammic2016]

Unless you’ve done pottery, it’s hard to grasp how relatable this is. Glad I’ve graduated to intermediate level 😂

[@funk3nst3in]

"husband's wedding band" as an item in the list of things in the foyer bowl is WILD

[@meganchambers8108]

Lol that went right over the audience's head!!

[@karlkettner4954]

Heidi’s character work is to die for.

[@botmes4044]

I made a vase in high school. After less than a year of practice, it actually turned out really well. It had a wide form, then tapered dramatically towards the opening with a very fine and delicate spout. So delicate in fact that someone chipped it while it was drying. In my effort to sand away the chip, I ended up removing the entire spout, so now the spout is just a nub. My mom still keeps it on her shelf with some decorative flowers poking out.

[@Initwithlove]

Ya can’t make this stuff up❤❤❤❤😂😂

[@jennifermannfitness]

I currently have a box of bowls that I made in ceramics class 25 years ago… It’s sitting in my garage because my mom finally wanted to get it out of her house. This skit hits home. 😂

[@dustinreckling5496]

I'm so glad pretty much everyone in the cast had a chance to do something tonight! Great use of the ensemble for the first time in a few years.

[@grifirnyc]

When it started, I instantly felt like it was a new take on the "Delicious Dish" idea, just PBS or KZbin instead of NPR. And with that cast, I was all there for it! I absolutely loved this sketch, and it reminds of when my mother got into pottery about that age, as part of her "craft of the year" phase.

[@samanthakennedy9514]

Yep love to see if they can put this together and work with that

[@Kasino80]

I had the exact same thought. Felt very...Sweddy.

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

Heidi Gardner is Janice from The Electric Mayhem. You can really see it in this skit. SNL did that skit "Oscar" based on Joker. So they really need to do something with Heidi as Janice.

[@samcobden3263]

For suuuuuuurrrreee

[@llanitedave]

As an "amateur potter," I can sure relate!

[@iamawesome1208]

That pink mug is awesome.

[@nataliaschuler3949]

“Had to wrestle a possum out of the compost” is the unsung hero of this sketch

[@kegorogers]

In college, I would wander over to the art school when students were selling their items. This skit brought back some fond memories. I still drink my coffee from a mug that looks like someone's failed experiment; hard to clean, but oh so satisfying.

[@ymustisignin]

That mug is almost identical to the one thing I ever made with a kiln and I feel so seen

[@danholm4952]

50 years ago we made such to give to parents for Christmas...mostly ashtrays so mom could smoke right next to us!

[@bettysmith4641]

That is so true 😂

[@thekiss2083]

"Women's Creek, Vermont" was the highlight here

[@laalaa99stl]

These ladies are kiln it!

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

I want to know how they did this - did they plan the sketch with enough time to dry and fire the pottery for this? Did they just go to a local pottery school and go through the dumpster? Or did one of the writers have a family member in a pottery school and these are actual gifts?

[@cleverusername9369]
