#SNL #DuaLipa #SNL49 - Komedie
I feel like this is a semi-biographical sketch about every SNL writer that’s gone on to marry a famous movie star
Wow
Roasting him at every opportunity
All one of them?
Taran Killam (SNL) married Coulby Smolders (not sure of spelling, she was in the Avengers movies and on TV shows). As far as I know, both marriages are happy. Maybe in earlier SNL decades there are more examples?
@@no3namesalikeEmma Stone’s married to an SNL writer.
i'm guessing Sarah Sherman watched The Elephant Man recently...
Knowing her sensibilities, she probably watched that movie as a kid the same way most kids watch Disney movies or anything on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network: all the time with their parents tolerating it.
This is Dua lipa! Sarah Sherman cannot hold a candle to do a lipa!!!!
@@davidgoosen1633 Dua Lipa isn't the writer😭
@@tictaccandy9217 I don't care
of course she would love The Elephant Man... And just Lynch in general
dua’s acting skills are PHENOMENAL!!
“THATS WHAT HE SAYS TO EVERYONE!!!”
especially with cats
Better than Ryan's... 😀
(on SNL)
I hope she does more film and TV.
This was rather sad to watch.
It took me back 20some years when the show went in HUGE for cringe. Every sketch went for the pathos and it just wasn't funny. Sometimes it was downright disturbing.
'Ride your face until it looks normal'.... 'wrong number perhaps'... My goodness, this was too funny!
Perfect timing lol
Fr though, anomalous tongue game must be 🔥 😂
damn u have bad taste in jokes, this was terrible
That’s DISGUSTING. and ableist. How you can laugh is awful.
I'm pretty sure that was work related 😂
The voices in this sketch are like warm butter on a crumpet. Both Dua and James sound superb
Thank you! I was the production sound mixer for this sketch. I appreciate your kind words and compliment! I felt our dialog tracks came out nicely on this one for sure, however post always does an extremely fine job once they get my tracks. Post did an outstanding job on the edit and mix on this one so I can only take some of the credit.
@@spyrospoulos7055well done indeed!
@@spyrospoulos7055👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@spyrospoulos7055you're welcome! High quality production like this really elevates the sketches. It sounds like a lot of work positioning those mics to create moments of intimacy and a great nod to the period and style- you certainly deserve credit
James deserves more sketches.
The camera work is incredible! Dua does a great job.
I thought it was scarlet johanson with some more lip filler lol
AND the lighting! Unsung usually more obvious in black and white. Excellent work!
"I'm tryna show you what this snout do" 😂🐽
Struggling to find the comedy.
snl hasn't been funny in a long time
This skit was funny and clever. People aren’t seeing the joke. His unattractive looks which used to at one time repulse women. Are now his number one weapon to attract women. He turned a negative into what he thought was a positive. Another layer is It’s a reverse take on don’t judge a book by its cover. It also points the sad truth about a lot of men being dogs that can’t control their most basic urges and how there are always women out there willing to play along. If you are being offended comedy just because you don’t like the joke perhaps you should shut the Phuk up because people are more offended by you than a stupid skit.
@@awesomesauce5166that skit was funny. If you don’t get the joke then it sucks to be you nerd.
If something goes over your head it’s best to not proclaim your ignorance out loud.
@@jf4313 I'm not saying it's not funny because it's "offensive" or what not in fact there's where i find humor to be funny the most, it just was not funny, snl is garbage now
This is dating in 2024
Multiple beautiful women being totally into the obvious worst men because they like their words? Yeah.
@@chasehlee7197you said it’s “obvious” then admit that these men manipulate women into liking them… do you not realise what you’ve said?
@@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358 what about him was manipulative? looks like she ignored all of the glaring issues.
💯💯💯
That’s dating in every decade since consciousness. With technological tweaks obviously lol
The production value of this skit is next level! 😆🙌🏼
Not a sketch.... it's a film.
I'm always amazed at how beautifully they can produce films in under a week!!
I have a jaw deformity and facial paralysis. I’ve been shunned by many individuals throughout my life. Watching this made me feel sick
Good thing no one told you to watch it.
@@DailyMunchSNL has a pretty big influence, to portray something in this way is irresponsible
@@DailyMunch Well we see the compassion on this individiual. Honestly I don't have any disabilities, love SNL, but found this still uncomfortable to watch. I just think they missed the mark on this skit and there is good "make a joke of" and bad "make a joke of".
I'm sorry this made you feel that way. I have worked in medical for quite a few years and sometimes it's the mental aspect that is the most difficult. Much love.
Yeah, This sketch was in really poor taste. And it wasn't even funny.
A bit fucked up they’re literally mocking people that have facial differences..?
Very fucked up
And all these weird dorks praising the skit in the comments as if it’s some genius comedy breakthrough, childish doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Calm down, its a parody of the elephant man.
How does it mock people with facial differences? She treats him with love and respect. Isn't that what we all should strive for?
@@stefanpereira9367 are you joking? i cannot tell
I’m here because a man with a facial difference spoke about this sketch on tik tok and how devastated it made him someone like him was still the butt of a joke in 2024. Please do better SNL.
I too saw that TT. I follow him and he’s truly such a wonderful person. I don’t understand how this old trope is still funny to ppl. So many suffer and we make jokes at their expense. So disappointed with SNL, I expect better.
Funny.. I saw a video of a man with a facial difference saying he thought it was hilarious and people should lighten up.
“I have a Black friend” energy. Comedy shouldn’t make people who have been othered their entire lives feel bad about themselves. It should make them laugh and lighten their load. Make fun of the privileged all you want, but don’t punch down against people who have been picked on and mocked their entire lives.
@@mikeybinmike I'm not claiming to be friends with the guy who's video I saw. I'm just pointing out that this commenter said they saw a video where a guy was offended, whereas I saw a video where another guy was not offended. Whose opinion is more valid? Idk, that's not for me to say.
How was it making fun of people with facial differences? This joke is more so mocking/satirizing the old-timey movies that were basically "Look at this disgusting freak, but he's an artistic genius so the woman is able to look past her monstrous visage!" In this sketch, it ends with it being revealed that while Peter is a great playwright, he's not some pure and perfect person that needs to be raised up by a benevolent woman. In fact, he's kind of your average cheating a-hole who has no problems attracting women. If anything, this sketch says "Hey, some people look different. Their physical differences don't make them pure, perfect, souls, nor does it make them evil, wicked abominations. They are just normal people and can be nice of dicks just like anyone else."
Despite learning multiple times Dua Lipa has an English accent, it always surprises me when I hear her talk.
Bro I thought this was Emilia Clarke lol
Props for this make up department tonight they killed it this episode.
i thought we were past using disabled people as the butt of jokes in this day and age but i guess not
SNL hasn’t been funny for years so I guess now they’re trying to be edgy as a desperate attempt to win favor? Like this is middle school humor and I’m actually amazed at all these people praising the sketch, im convinced they’re bots or being paid lmaoo
@@gooseball100 Yet no joking about SNLs God Alec Baldwin murdering a mother. Not even a weekend update.
Unfunny people relying on making fun of other, unacceptable
An Elephant Man parody? In this day and age? Color me impressed
Loren definitely asked: why now?
it's funny because it's black and white. get it? black and white. not color.
Definitely a great sketch for Elephant man...
Only 44 years too late.
Its Poor Things meets The Elephant Man.
This is very surreal. Strange vibe from this sketch.
The skit is basically taking a piss on those with facial differences. I’m positive there are many, MANY people who aren’t going to find this skit either funny or acceptable
@@marybodnar4749 I mean... It's literally not though. It's making fun of an outdated film trope. Like you can hate the sketch and find it unfunny, but I think it's a massive stretch to say that their goal was to make fun of people with facial differences.
@@marybodnar4749how is it doing that?
@@marybodnar4749 you understood nothing. Go deeper, in no way did they make fun of those with facial differences. They only (and quite obvious actualy) made a very accurate representation of the dynamic between men and women, well, men with lack of character and self awareness (morally, physically, spiritually). How many women, beautiful, kind, generous, devoted women haven't been cheated on by a low life spineless dude? THAT'S what's being represented here.
Someone put a time stamp on the joke so I can get it
The sketch challenges the concept of “ugly”. He was ugly not for his looks but because he used and manipulated the woman who genuinely loved him. So 3:15 for those half asleep
it’s clearly parodying men who date women who are out of their league and yet still cheat on them. media literacy is an ancient skill it seems
@@JuvianTVthank you for saying this so succinctly. The sketch really could’ve been a funny meme. It was way too long.
Looks like a reenactment of how Colin met Scarlet, Sarah just can't help herself😂😂😂
The dust in the briefcase 😂
that part killed me lol
is it just me or is the punchline being that a person with a visible disability is a bad person and also somehow inexplicably able to find love weird as hell??? like maybe it’s not that deep but do we really want to be putting more media making disabled people the butt of the joke??
i think this is about ugly people but no matter what, your point is still valid. this is an extremely bizarre sketch. it wasn’t funny, it wasn’t unique. in fact, besides weekend update, dua lipa’s whole episode was just weird. the host picks the sketches. we can call it her fault, probably. very dumb and not in a way to successfully achieve comic relief.
@@EliTheMac - You say the "host picks the sketches" as if Lorne has nothing to do with it.
You are very much mistaken. The host has some input, but it's Lorne's decision.
I think the message is that a disfigured man is just a man.
You are ridiculous!!!!!!
This is an allegory for women not to drop their standards when finding love with a less than perfect man, because elevating that man's ego and self worth will only back fire and turn him into a womanizing 'pig'.
Is this really Sarah Sherman? Fantastic performance. This is an inspiration for all writers.
Yes. She's credited in the video's description.
@@holdenroth5929 I read the description first, and it still looked more like Chloe.
Anyway, I thought her acting was superb.
Amazing
I don't think the intention of the sketch was to make fun of physical differences, quite the contrary. It shows that there is someone special out there for every person, but this guy was just using his insecurities as a means of stirring compassion in women for the purpose of seducing them. What ended up being truly ugly was his soul.
that is what i said, these people are way too quick to call something dishearting and offensive, without lookin for the message in the skit-
how small their talent is then, if you can't show an idea without offending people.
@@roshidemon please tell me what type of comedy isn’t offensive to some tender heart somewhere.
if the intentions were good they could have used an actor with actual physical differences. And they could have achieved the same message using a maybe less attractive person instead of mocking people who have deformities.
@@MarianaOlin so it’s ok for you to be prejudiced against Dua because she’s attractive? The double standard is why no one can take you seriously. Peter isn’t “visibly different”. He’s fictional. He’s not possible in real life. No, replacing him with a real person is 100% not the answer. Were you this offended by Beauty and the Beast?
I thought the punch line would be about Dua having the sliiiiiiiightest blemish, like a birth mark on her stomach, and getting dropped for being a freak.
You should be a writer on SNL, because that’s a much better punchline
That would've been WAY more clever!
That sounds funny, but is cliche and punches down, as it centers around beauty. Instead, the sketch challenges the concept of “ugly”. He was ugly not for his looks but because he used and manipulated the woman who genuinely loved him.
incredibly ableist
The writing. The acting. The costumes. The production. Perfect.
Disappointed. I thought we’d got past this? For all of the people with a visible difference, you’ve let us down.
The difference in comments here and on instagram.... barely any comments on here about how damaging this is. Yours is the first I've seen! Still loads who love it over on insta, but also lots with our point of view. It made me uncomfortable watching it.
its supposed to be a send up of twilight zone and the elephant man. calm down.
@@SarahAliceDouglas Tiktok is loaded with people calling SNL out.
@JoefromNJ1 you're missing the point. The negative trope of people with any kind of visible difference, is problematic and damaging. Young people will look at these things, and think having a visible difference = being bad/evil/ugly and so on. It's especially damaging to those with a visible difference, but also teaches those without to be afraid, distrustful, and to mock. Far too often, villains have visible differences in movies/TV. And in this case, it's not only a cheater, but making fun of the fact that someone with a visible difference (even if it is fake and not a real condition) could ever have that many people interested in them... so hopefully that makes you realise why we are being vocal about it and calling it out :)
@Phil.The.Lumberjack I hadn't gone over to tiktok to see what people were saying, good to know there are loads calling out there!
My meager belongings. 🤣
Have you seen my pile of dust?
So happy to finally see a proper adaption of Kim and Kanye’s relationship
Lmao
bro what💀
Dua lipa is doing great job
2:46 love how you can hear someone in the crowd go “Jesus Christ”
No you can't, it's a laugh track
@@seanhurley9216 These shows are performed live. The video was shown to a live audience. You can hear the audience member say "Jesus Christ" as they pan to Dua and Sherman in the bed.
I don’t know what’s more concerning, the fact this has been created or the comments on here! Disgusting 🤢
Using facial differences or disability as the focus of the joke. Being derogatory towards sexual interests or actions.
Come on! This is beyond shameful.
I feel like this is just making fun of people with facial differences?
And I feel it was funny so like maybe lighten up a bit?
Im sure you laugh at racist shit too @@DailyMunch
@@DailyMunch And I feel like it was funny but I have heard from an actual disabled person its offensive and maybe everyone doesn’t have the same opinion as you?
@@DailyMunch holy shit you are insane like actually insane
@@stitchedtwinkleteddy well that person has a right to be offended and move on with their life just like everyone else should when they are offended 🧟♀️
This really is a shameful display. Punching down against people with visible differences who have been mocked, pointed at, and made to feel like they’re less-than their entire lives isn’t just not funny, it’s callously cruel.
The only punching I can find in the sketch is towards players and cheaters… But go off if you want to go hunting for things to be offended by.
Your one of those…. Getting offended on behalf of others!
Stop it.
Some of Anomalous Man's hookups (visible on his phone) include "Alexis- Hinge", "Amber- Tinder", and "Liza- Sanitarium" 😄
LMFAOOO THE TEXTS.. IM DYING😭
The elephant man meet the twight zone!
all dwight
Meets poor things, not twilight zone.
Yes!! I recognized the hideous face from Twilight Zone - The Masks and also Eye of the Beholder. Whew!! LOL
i was totally seeing Eye of the Beholder!!!
Thank God they are letting Sarah be weird AF, this was a great sketch.
I came to watch this yesterday (Tuesday) because I saw a reel about how a new SNL skit with Dua Lipa was damaging to the visible difference community. It was uncomfortable to watch. And the comments of people praising it both here and on instagram, not realising, or understanding the negative impact it has on the visible difference community... This has been going on for far too long. When will it stop. We are not your villains, we are not evil, ugly, scary, monstrous, unsightly, grotesque, unlovable, and whatever other way visible differences have been portrayed on screen (and let's not forget stage too). When will people realise! 💔
exactly. you are absolutely gorgeous btw!!
@@claraclonk thanks ❤️
The Visible Difference Community can sit down and shut up. You’re like everyone else, where having a “visible” difference and cheating on your partner still makes you just another cheater. Welcome to the Every Body Is Different and Still Accountable Community! 🎉 🎉
Signed,
a woman with facial hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, acne, pock marks, and psoriasis
@@janefitch4254 nobody is disagreeing with that, it's the general way this skit talks about and portrays people with disabilities + facial differences as disgusting
@@claraclonk mmm no…it’s unfortunate that the Visible Difference Community chose Peter as their mascot without getting to know him. They really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover though. Dua’s character was so blindly infatuated with him as an artist that she missed the con: he’s a narcissistic scrub 😂. He writes alluring adaptations of his life of woe as a lonely broken man shut off from the world. Trap set and snap. She ignores all the flags, like him literally bringing nothing to the table but a briefcase of dust, his horrific table manners, his THIRD EYE FFS. You get it yet? He’s weaseled his way into a cushy life and can’t even return the favor with faithfulness. All he brings her is down, and like the classic conman, he’s got multiple backups available just in case she catches on, he simply slides into the arms of another woman. Even with both women kicking him to the curb, they simply must agree in the end that he’s just such a gifted playwright…
I can't enjoy this humor at the expense of a person that looks different. I find it rather insensitive. Not something I would expect from SNL
How was it making fun of people with facial differences? This joke is more so mocking/satirizing the old-timey movies that were basically "Look at this disgusting freak, but he's an artistic genius so the woman is able to look past her monstrous visage!"

As the matter of reality, it happens
I don’t understand the controversy of this sketch, I understand that making fun of somebody with differences is bad but it was more about society (in like late 1800s) causing him to be an outcast. They also go surrealist with the crab claw, eye on the back, and him eating a fly with a frog tongue. Again, I’m not a fan of punching down but imo it feels fake to the point of it not being offensive but idk
I agree. They aren't punching down on appearance. The Anomalous Man has no real-life counterpart, he's just a total player. It's a satire of modern dating.
Honestly not funny especially for those who have facial differences etc.
We thank you
What’s more frightening is you watched this sketch about a man with horns, a hoof, a snout, a lizard tongue, and a blinking eyeball on his back and thought, “They’re making fun of real people.” 😮
Shut up
You’re complaining about something on SNL, it’s not for the sensitive.
You being obese is actually way funnier
This is disgusting
That was like, an actual art film. Amazaballs
Disappointing and disrespectful
haaaahahahahahha
Wait, at what point does a sketch become a short film? I'd say about at the 3 minute mark in the tub for this one. Bravo. Bravo, truly.
It is hard to convey how offensive this sketch is to disfigured people (1% of the world's population).
Disfigured people are often portrayed in the media as being evil, pathetic or unlovable. These portrayals do profound damage to a community which already contends with stigma, harassment, bullying and hate crimes.
In this recent sketch, the Anomalous Man is seen as
1) isolated, unloved, with horrific self-esteem,
2) the woman who loves him is seen as heroic for doing so.
3) His appearance is relentlessly mocked
4) The fact that he is sexually active is the big joke.
I know SNL can do better. SNL is a vaunted show, gracing our country with many laughs over the decades. But this sketch did not do SNL credit.
We need to educate people about prejudice toward disfigured people, and the media's role in perpetuating this stigma. To learn more, please watch: czcams.com/video/zD9KhXQOED8/video.html
It's more offensive to fans of comedy.
Well said👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was looking for a comment like this! Thank you for speaking up!
This comment should have more attention ❤
I wish I could add to this but you’ve said it all, I’m disgraced by this sketch. Thank you for saying it so well
Too high-concept for some, I see. I thought it was great! Bravo!
Obviously it’s not about appearances, it’s about fuckboy psychology, as in some men portraying themselves as tortured, special and misunderstood, to only then act like an average cheater. Plus about women’s obsession with saving men.
Little pig boy may have come from the dirt, but he’s made it a long way since then
Little Pigboy used to be hawt tho😢
Little pig boy seems to have a frog tongue and an eyeball on his back. Is that even normal for a deformed person?
I gotta say, Sarah Sherman is gonna come out being one of the greats of SNL.
I can't wait for her career in body horror comedy
thas a stretch. shes great here, but most of her performances are her half breaking, with a middle school play like delivery. she also cant keep her accent/vocal approach straight throughout a given skit.
She has a CZcams channel with weird skits like this on it
She is the weakest actor on snl
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr You guys new? SNL greats aren't known for their great acting or accent work.
Every Sarah Silverman body horror skit is incredible.
Sherman* [She isn't Jimmy Kimmel's ex-gf. 🙄]
She's Sherman. Her colleagues also often call her Sarah Squirm.
@@robotdowney lol can’t believe my brain wrongly autocorrected that one, given that I haven’t found anything by Silverman funny in decades but Sherman is a star.
Using physical disabilities for the sake of "comedy" in 2024...wtf
hahah go cry about it
Bravo! Dua Lipa is a dramatic actress, even with cell phones in 1897 London. 😆📲
I wonder if it would be a “Doctor Who” episode in a different time and place.
I love how you can immediately clock when a sketch is written by Sarah
Sarah Sherman is one of the best current cast members
Ehhhh … she’s kind of a one trick pony. I will say, this is the first time she actually tried something different. So, I guess I give her credit for that.
Ehh idk about that. Given her many chances, but snl is not for her.
snl is at its best when its more unhinged. 😂
Do you have rocks in your head?
@@chrismagsmagsq
"I'm tryin' show u what this snout do" 🤣😂🤣😅
Dua has to be one of the most talented acting guests on this show. She’s giving her ALL in every skit! What a wonderful performer
Something about punching down on the appearance and never letting up is unsettling to the entire sketch.
All that uncomfortableness for one "Har-har" ahh punchline
They aren't punching down on appearance. The Anomalous Man has no real-life counterpart, he's just a total player. It's a satire of modern dating.
@@hedwigblythe3476 his appearance is the butt of the joke the ENTIRE time. It is doubled down when the "resolution" is that despite being visually unappealing, he is still a terrible person. It is tripled down by whoever thought it was a good idea for him to start catching bugs in his mouth. It is no longer parody when it closely resembles the very real experience of being visually different, which many people are, and they are judged harshly on appearance alone by much of the world that thinks that is ok to do. It is not parody when it is never made "ok" in the sketch that he is a person, just made worse in that he is also ANOTHER "bad" thing, a cheater (yes cheating is bad), so the audience was "right" to be repulsed by him in the first place,
@@elisangale431 Respectfully, I thought he was living his best life. The Victorian women seemed to be the butt of the joke because he is such a player. Also, the absolute absurdity of his persona made it clear that there is no real-life counterpart to the Anomaly. He could have been a minotaur. It still would have been a brilliant satire. It was also so on brand for Sarah Sherman's magical realism. Honestly, it came across like the classic Twilight Zone episodes, as well as Gabriel Garcia Marquez's characters in fiction.
@@hedwigblythe3476 how dare you make fun of the Visibly Different Minotaur! Shameful.
@@janefitch4254 I don't think Hedwig is making fun of anyone, and I can respect their remarks enough not to push further. You on the other hand seem to be here just to antagonize others. I don't think you're mature enough to have a discussion on this topic
I knew it was a Sarah Sherman sketch as soon as it said Anomalous Man, she always brings the weird!
Hollywood is so up their own ass
I swear, this exists in the same yet parallel universe as Poor Things.
🌟🥂~ Wow, Dua Lipa is a total natural in this entire episode!! 😲~ Brilliant writing and acting like this, is exactly what some of us were missing in the first SNL episodes of 2024!! ~ I had never even seen much of Dua Lipa, before this! ❤️🔥
So bizarre, but so brilliant 😂😂
The production design here is superb. What an incredible job on all levels.
It's 2024 - are we not past making fun of people with facial differences?
It’s a parody of the Elephant Man
@@nicolegonzales5283 doesn’t make it okay, hun. Maybe listen to other people on this one.
@@nicolegonzales5283yeah I love the scene in elephant man where he shoots his tongue out several feet to catch a bug, really impactful scene

It's so cruel to mock Joseph Merrick in this way. They could have made this sketch, with the same twist, without mocking him.
Tell me the similarities.
@@gregoryuk no, my comment is obvious.
John is it not
They aren't mocking Joseph Merrick. It's set similarly in London, but clearly derived from classic Twilight Zone. Also has no one read Gabriel Garcia Marquez? The Anomalous Man has no real-life counterpart. The satire was beyond the viewers who haven't read fantasy literature.
Dua's acting on this one is amazing!
I think this is Sarah’s best performance so far
Classic SNL creativity and originality here
never lower your standards ladies lol.
Right, people with visible differences are undeserving of love. “lol”
it’s not a nice thing to do- completely disregards equality within the sphere of disability. We are praising ableism because it’s ‘entertaining’ for us.
Check out the it handle faceequalityint for more info
this is disgusting
Even if it was intended to be a parody of the elephant man(great movie), it could have been done with a lot more grace and respect. This is the wrong culture that is circulating in the media. Please remember that we choose what we believe, don’t be fooled by sketches or celebrated individuals that are glamorised on television- they are blatantly mocking a visible disability.
I apologise to those who are affected
Wake up people,wake up
hahahahah
Alternative title:
The Anomalous Nice Guy
Dua should get a role in a movie/ series. She is so great! Seriously very talented 👏👏👏
Yall haven’t seen TikTok I take it
This sketch was cruel.
Yup, dating in 2024 is a futile endeavour. Even half-pig-half-man with a third eye on his back can't be trusted.
Austin's voice in this is so good for no reason
My God, I was cracking up at the end! 😅
An ode to The Elephant Man. Very well done.
This feels insensitive
Dua has some acting chops.
This is the version of "fortnight" we never really expectedly expected dawwwg!
This harks back to the old school sketches from the first 10 years, except now with the latest artistry. Just brilliant.
There have been many people who have facial deformities that have commented how disgusting and insensitive this SNL Short is- it is not funny and SNL needs to do better. Very, very disappointing and they should be ashamed
And next up in “People Laughing at Comedy Until It Becomes Relatable” 🙄 Shut up and pass it on.
This skit is getting shredded on TikTok.
I was informed that the praying hands emoji is actually 2 hands highflying each other😂
Dua Lipa was amazing in this
This one’s in a class of its own! 👏🙌
Some of these comments are wild, like who do you know that has a snout and pigs feet? Why read into this so much lol
Dua did a really great job for the entire episode!
This is disgusting, shame on snl
Not this in 2024…
People are born with facial disability, this just mocks that community :(
She has a fucking snout and crab arm
How? The Anomalous Man has no counterpart in real life. Clearly, the character is actually using the anomaly to play women. The character has a frog tongue and an eyeball on his back (which seemed to "wink" at the video for Cold Heart). It was totally on brand for Sarah Sherman's surreal trademark comedy. I saw references to Twilight Zone and Gabriel Garcia Marquez inspired surreal-fantasy in this clever skit.
Who cares? It’s a joke, the man is clearly not a human or a good person.
I’m gonna have nightmares pls 😭
I'm trying to show you what this snout do 😂
For some reason, when I heard them call him the Anomalous Man, I thought of that time when Trump couldn't say the word 'anonymous'. He kept accidentally saying anomalous.😂
🤣🤣🤣👏
Sherman playing all these weird little characters is a joy.
"Have you seen my pile of dust?" lol
If it’s making other looking people cry, it’s not funny! Ride your face till it’s normal?!?😮
