I have not done my favorite SNL skits from the past year, so here we go.
Disclaimer as always: These are just my opinion, and by all means, feel free to completely disagree with me!
#10 - Passing Notes. I do like it when the cast breaks, and no one gets the cast breaking more than Ryan Gosling. It also helps that one of the best cast members for breaking, Ashley Padilla, makes the skit better with her attempts to get control back while clearly unable to control herself.
SNL did set this up by changing all the notes from rehersal.
Gosling and Padilla will make another showing on this list.
#9 - The Gentlemen's Code. Connor Storrie had a gem with this riff on Victorian manlihood. As always, Keenan steals the spotlight!
#8 - K Pop Demon Hunters. I thought the best miusical moment of the season was when Bad Bunny himself hosted and they had a fun skit featuring the singers from the movie. That skit ended up finishing really strong!
#7 - ICE Meeting Cold Open. Pete Davidson returns to play Tom Homan having to come into Minneapolis and try to fix the ICE nightmare that unfolded in Minnesota. The line 'we invaded Minnesota to distract from the Epstein Files but had to release the Epstein Files to get Minneapolis off the front page' is one of the most honest statements about the Trump Administration.
#6 - Weekend Update: Tucker Carlson. Hands down the best impression on the show this year was Jeremy Culhane's Tucker Carlson.
#5 - Mom Confession. The most relatable skit of the year, as a family member comes to realize that her vote for Trump might have been a mistake, but doesn't want to give the rest of her family the satisfaction they desire from admitting she was wrong.
#4 - Hormuz Jeff. Will Ferrell was perfect as the only guy willing to run the Strait of Hormuz!
#3 - NYC Mayoral Debate. Miles Teller is one of the best hosts they've had recently and his return featured a great skit about a debate in the insanely disfunctional Mayors race in NYC. Keenan once again is outstanding at the debate moderator.
#2 - MAHAspital! A filmed bit from when Harry Styles was host, mocking the insanity of RFK Jr.'s health care advice.
#1 - Cyclops. Ryan Gosling manages to get not only Ashley Padilla, but also Veronika Slowikowska to break as three clueless Cylopsi (?) must answer a riddle. Not as good as the Beavis and Butthead sketch from last season, but close.
That's it for this week.
Please make sure to stay up to date on all of your vaccinations!
Have a great weekend!
