The American parody of Saturday Night Live will only make sense if you saw the movie

Saturday Night Live often goes pretty wide with their parodies, striking absurd instead of point, at least lately. But their parody of We, in the form of a credit card identity theft advertisement, is very accurately observed and quite amusing if you have seen the movie.

In the sketch, which presents Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson as protagonists of We, Nwodim's character calls the Discover customer help line to complain about possible identity theft, and you can guess the rest. What makes this work, however, is how much drawing plays on the film's humor: the uselessness of Kenan's husband and the increasingly scary and threatening words of Nwodim's doppelganger. The film's images are also used in specific ways, which are really fun only if you know what they mean in their context.

There is also a surprising amount of rabbits involved. If you have not seen the movie, may not be on Google.
