John Mulaney was a strange choice to accommodate "Saturday Night Live" when he did it late last season, but he was absolutely brilliant in this format.
It's no wonder they brought it back during the year because it brings a level of energy, creativity, and an unconsidered abandonment so strong that even this week's sketch was a lot of fun . And the best is an instant classic.
Mulaney was not the only new face either, as Ben Stiller makes his inevitable return Michael Cohen So "SNL" could make fun of its recent audience, while Bill Hader returned home who made it appear in two brilliant sketches. And he was on fire!
As usual, we rank all sketches from worst to first, including the Cold Open and Weekend Update segments. We will avoid musical guests because they are usually not funny – unless Ashlee Simpson does show up. We finish with a look at the casting member who has had the strongest week.
Shark Tank: legal edition
Pete Davidson started his Michael Avenatti, joined by Cecily Strong Jeanine Pirro, Alan Dershowitz of John Mulaney and Kate McKinnon Rudy Giuliani in a sketch where famous characters in difficulty have asked for their legal aid. Robert Kraft (Beck Bennett) and Jussie Smollett (Chris Redd). Unfortunately, they only touched on the two stories in the shallow part, when they could really dive deep into the flesh of these stories. It was still fun to see Kate, Pet and Cecily fend for themselves in their respective roles.
Cha Cha Slide
There were two elements of humor here. One was that John Mulaney was at a reception with Ego Nwodim & # 39; s his family and yet he seemed to know more than his. He was more immersed in the traditionally black community, including the church and Howard University, which even his girlfriend did not realize. And then the other layer was the weird version of the new rules of "Cha Cha Slide" Kenan Thompson emitted, including two different movements of Beyonce, moving grunts and the use of a fun church. Both were kindly humorous, none were hilarious.
MONOLOGUE – John Mulaney
Once again, as he did last April, John Mulaney gave a stand-up routine instead of a monologue, but we had to wait for it. Plus, it was always funny to play his look and talk about how he in use to be colder, like when he made cocaine. He delved into his own Catholic history, the subways and the strangeness of life in New York. Although there were no moments of laughter, there was a lot of good content delivered with confidence and charm, thus preparing the scene for the upcoming show.
CUT FOR TIME – Dianne Feinstein
In this pre – recorded sketch that took a long time, Cecily Strong 's Senator Dianne Feinstein proved how horrible she was with children, with an open mind and listening skills. She was combative and angry, hitting teachers and students and constantly demanding a DO (start over). It was to help her public image, but even she could not escape the unpleasant reality of her closed-minded reactions.
Toilet death ejector
The self-explaining purpose of this invention was the most entertaining part of a fake, yet well-intentioned, fake advertisement. No one wants to die in the bathroom, whether they are old or not, but there are a lot of problems and details to be sorted out before they are really ready for the market. And yes, that's the most obvious question you're thinking about, but it was still funny. We still laugh corpses flying through the room and just miss the bed.
Update of the weekend
Just as cold, Michael Cohen's testimony was the main story, with Colin Jost the shot of sending by comparing it to that big sewer rat that got stuck in a grid. They went through some of Cohen's stranger assertions and then went to Tracy's funny appearance in CPAC, where he kissed a flag and probably still speaks.
In response to a pig that paints and was spared by the slaughterhouse, Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant left by two women from a farm that would never kill and serve a cute or talented animal; only the stupid ones and the bad guys for them. But the funniest part of the piece was not the details about the animals on a meat platter that they had brought, but how much the stench of the meat had almost derailed the piece, again and again. again.
"For R. Kelly, unpaid alimony is also alimony, " Michael Che once said that they jumped into the news, proving that they would not hold back on this story. And then, they slid backwards into an equally scathing dig – okay, maybe not quite – at Jussie Smollett's. And that was it, a "Update" shorter and tighter than usual, but still continuing the hot trend of the segment.
The unknown caller
Pete Davidson brought back his most famous character, Chad, Chad distraught and careless, to put him in a lead role in a movie. "D & # 39; agreement." This character is so stupid, and yet, in this frame inspired by "Scream", it worked perfectly. John Mulaney tried so hard to threaten him, but Chad was just not able to get it, but hey, a free pizza!
Have and not have
In this pastiche of classic cinema, Kate McKinnon tried to play the seducer, but as she could not whistle, sing or do anything that her "sexy" soliloquy was asking for, it was getting more and more awkward and embarrassing for her as for she. -being a man, John Mulaney. Kate had a reaction when she suggested that she was maybe gay and that's why she was so bad at it. John played very lowkey, which worked perfectly while Kate dive further into the weird.
COLD OPEN – Hearing of Michael Cohen
Ben Stiller came back with his impression of Michael Cohen, surprised by the lack of surprise when he claimed that Trump was a racist, a crook and a cheater. "For too many years, I have been loyal to a man when I should not have been," he said. "Now I know how Khloe Kardashian "Yes, this joke has attracted the biggest public reaction … welcome to America, at least until Jim Jordan, furious, takes over." It was a tour de force of false fury and he we missed seeing him in this show, even more!
What is this name?
Bill Hader came back to liven up the fake game show where people are asked to identify ordinary people in their lives (which they can not do) and people like Kardashians (they can) … Welcome to America . As expected, John had no problem with Chrissy Teigenbut the name of the girlfriend of his good friend of four years? Well, who has the time? Who can pay attention to such things? We are all so busy these days. It was the deepest exploration of the superficiality and egocentricity of modern Americans and it was brilliantly played by all involved.
Bodega Bathroom
An instant classic in coarse humor. John Mulaney and Kenan Thompson presented a musical based on the mythical and disgusting bathroom of the bodega, with singing cockroaches (Melissa Villasenor and Cecily Strong) and oversized toilets (Beck Bennett). It was a mashup of several musicals with the toilet playing the role of Audrey II of "The Little Shop of Horrors" and it was a masterpiece of parody. And if you do not live in an area of bodegas, just change it to these scary out of brand gas stations and you'll get the idea. They are rude, they are strange and now they have a nice tribute to their very horror.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
It is interesting to note that two of the strongest sketches of the week were made on the back of former cast member Bill Hader, who spent an absolutely brilliant night. But it is not eligible, which leaves us watching Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon, with Pete Davidson a surprising black horse.
But it was the two veterans who had the most fun, especially if we included Cecily's fertilized performance. On top of that, she killed him again under the name of Jeanine Pirro and provided effective support as a dancing cockroach and competitor to the game show.
But we must give it to the brilliant Kate McKinnon, who once again delighted us with her Rudy Giuliani, laughed in "Update", gave life to the candle of the Virgin Mary in the bodega, and then at home as classic movie star. has no idea how to seduce.
These are moments like this that remind us how much she is a treasure for this show: she became the leader of the cast (we have to give Kenan her props as leader) and one of the performers the more versatile and more intrepid of the show. There will be a huge hole in the cast if she decides to leave after this season, or whenever she decides to leave.
"Saturday Night Live" will air on Saturday at 11:30 pm ET on NBC.
