#SNL #JasonMomoa #SNL49 #TateMcRae - Komedie
the kid being into dinosaurs is spot on, i don't know a single man that didn't have an obsession with dinosaurs when they were young
I blame barney
The ones who didn’t were super into trains. It’s always either dinosaurs or trains. Always one or the other, but never both
I didn't. Into comics.
I didn't. Never understood point of dinos or rome.
I'm not a man and had a dino obsession. I still remember begging for dinosaur toys and then finally when I was really sick and home from school, my mom felt sorry for me and bought me a green Diplodocus😢
Adding dinosaurs and astrology elevated this to another level. Well done, SNL.
"You're acting like the Visigoths right now!"😂
Yep.
"Only traces of em buried in the ground"
*Inevitable Jason Momoa* "KINDA LIKE ROME! 🗡️ 💪"
The offbeat transition between bank account and gladiators at 1:38 is so musically compelling
Yeah a lot of the “imperfect” moments seems very deliberately calculated
Lies again? Rome Roma Evil Angel
It's hilarious.
Funny as fuck 😭😭😭😭😭
Reminds me of "Sleeping on the Couch" 😂😂
When she said "Think about things that matter" then started singing about Astrology, I lost it! 😂🤣💀
I am an Art History professor and we covered Rome this semester and discussed the whole "how often do you think of Rome?" thing. So, of course, I'm showing this in class today.
quomodo illud?
So you condone domestic violence. Imagine the genders reversed. I hope a student calls that out.
@@bfan6032 Seems to me that allie is on the side of Rome buffs and would not be doing any domestic abuse to her partner for that reason.
Too many nagging scolds on this platform.
@@bfan6032 grow up child
Hope it went well!
❤ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤
I give this sketch a X/X. I’ve already watched it 3 times. Well acted, well written, factually accurate, and extremely funny. Definitely V stars
Wow. Your standards a low.
Don't you mean III times?
X / X? Well done, sir (or madam).
Isn't it great.ive looked at it at least twice a day since it's aired.
I give it a full C per C
Background dancers giving 100%. You love to see it.
I love the moves for "in the year double-M, double-X, triple-I." Brilliant.
Man, this might be the funniest sketch of the night! From Jason's rapping, to Ego's constant slapping, I couldn't help but bust up laughing at this pure piece of comedy gold. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
_🎶"From Jason's rapping, to Ego's constant slapping, I couldn't help but to bust up laughing, at ROME! ROME! Ancient ROME!"🎶_ 😂
It was.😂 Other than maybe Weekend Update, this was hands down the funniest damn thing this week hands down, ROME!!
If Jason was "constant slapping" Ego would it still be funny? Domestic violence is not a premise for cometic punchlines! Our society must stop normalizing this behavior.
@@rainmandale5858 For real. It's the Patriarchy at its most insidious.
@@rainmandale5858Sigh. Stop.
As a Latin teacher, I could not love this sketch more 😂
Audere est faucere ubi est latrina?
Salve!
Salve et vale😊
@@teovu5557 Someone done sold you some bad Latin, kid
Agricola!
Whoever wrote these lyrics deserves an award
The one thing I was disappointed with was the "bright colors" popular misconception -- the truth is somewhere in between. Mark Abbe, probably the leading expert on Roman polychromy, has said that many reconstructions are going a little further than can be supported by the evidence -- the coloration probably wasn't lurid most of the time, but "refined and naturalistic", so as to complement the intrinsic qualities of the marble.
@@maxwellerickson7066 this video was made for you
@@maxwellerickson7066 literally has nothing to do with the comment bro
@@importedposter4152But it was interesting. Well, vaguely interesting.
@@maxwellerickson7066nobody asked you nerd
Can we acknowledge the choreography in the Rome segments? I love it!
You don't have to ask for permission. Just go ahead.
And music, video direction, too!
@@skywalker6648 Absolutely! : )
You know the old saying: *Rome* is where the heart is.
as a former nanny, i've never in my life had a child who wasn't absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs. dead on
Astrology girlie getting called out right now hilarious imao😂.
“Look at our son!” Cut to a child staring wistfully out the window 💀💀💀💀
“Nah woman!”
That child is my friend! I’m so happy that he got to participate in this
@@nataliacanarozzi1247 ur friends with a child?
@@nataliacanarozzi1247 You're an adult, though.
Flashback to the Wells for Boys skit lol
The astrology thing killed me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Astrology, Rome and dinosaurs Americas favorite pastimes.
Are you sure you know what a pastime is?
Don’t forget Aliens 👽 😂
@@tinareynolds2938 And guns
@@tinareynolds2938nah thats americans main game
That and conspiracy theories.
Ego is having the time of her life with these sketches cause how does she spawns two love interest with him already 😅
Reminds me of Heidi when Michael B. Jordan hosted 😂
Lisa from Temecula is sooo lucky!
Real men STILL think about dinosaurs 🦖🦕
...and Rome, or course.
Real *adults* still think about dinosaurs - got nothing to do with having a penis. ;)
I think about both
Women do too. Dinosaurs are badass.
Ross? Is that you?
SNL just delved into the brains of classics majors.
hey that's unfair. some of us obsess about Sparta
I’m a classics major and I’ve never felt more seen
Man, the second she said "what are you thinking about, baby?" I just knew it was going to be about Rome.
The fact that the video is titled "Rome Song" didn't give it away?
Same
@@billyeveryteen7328 I didn't actually read it lmao
I saw it live and I knew it was going to be Rome, too.
All rhyming words before - alone, home, I predicted Rome, but not this awesome MTV Award worthy music video. Great costumes and choreography, this wasn’t thrown together, this took time.
Jason Momoa was absolutely fantastic and hilarious here
This sketch was hilarious! The little kid rapping about dinosaurs was the best part, he did such a great job!
As funny as the whole song was, that little kid was the best part. This episode was giving the best moments to random children.
Who is the kid?
@WendyDahling3 I came back to see if anyone else was offering the information. He did a good job.
@@WendyDahling3 Probably some writer's kid. He lacked charisma.
@@LindaC616 He was fantastic!
@@WendyDahling3 Kevin Hart
so for those who are not understanding why this is epic: this is a response to a tiktok/vine/shorts/reels that was trending recently during which the girlfriend/wife etc ask their boyfriend/husband if they think about Rome while being recorded. to most of the women's surprise.... most men responded that they do think about Rome.
Thank you for explaining, i had no idea about that trend. The video was still funny, regardless 😂
And I'm pretty sure that's in response to making fun of Andrew Tate. The red pill leader who says men need to think about Rome.
Thank you I didnt know what it was but it was still funny
Vine is still a thing?
@@frankd9945no i don’t know why they said vine it’s a tiktok thing
Funny as hell and another awesome performance from Ego!
I'm a woman and I often think of Rome too, so this is hilarious. And of course I love astrology! And dinosaurs...whew. My youngest could name every single one of them as a child. I remember we were on a dinosaur exhibit tour at the Carnegie Science Museum in Pittsburgh once years ago. The guide asked if anyone knew the name of the dino skeleton we were looking at, and without a beat my baby (who was 5 at the time) said Corythosaurus. He was the only one who knew! Impressed the hell out of the guide...and me! He ended up walking with the guide the rest of the tour and she'd ask him the name of each dinosaur we looked at and he'd be spot on.
Yes thank you! As a woman, I think about Ancient Rome too. I think that it’s sexist for them to say that only men think about or teach or study about Ancient Rome. Like, haven’t they heard about Mary Beard? The old British lady who writes books, including a new one recently, and does a lot of documentaries about Ancient Rome.
@@HeatherAngus-vj2jq What’s even more sexist is that they included domestic violence in the skit and laughed at it as if it was something to be joked about.
@@HeatherAngus-vj2jqI'm a woman and have always found Greco-Roman (and Egyptian) history fascinating - as wel las dinosaurs! But it is kinda funny to me that every man I've ever known in my life has had a big hard on for Rome. xD I bet none of them knew, however, that the Roman calendar we still use today? Cleopatra told Caesar about that. We wouldn't have that calendar without her! He was killed mostly because he was so involved with this powerful woman whose influence was causing (good) changes in Rome that conservatives didn't like. And then SHE was killed for it. Men can't handle a badass bitch who's smarter than them, and makes sweeping changes for the better!
@@hex3845honestly kinda was hoping the husband to slap back after the wife mentioned Astrology…
Since astrology is a joke
Love when SNL parodies current TikToks, trends, and events. Good work, writers! 🎉
All of which was made up misinformation. And you hope it dies on TikTok. And then it gets legs. And now everyone at work thinks it's true. On a platform of hundreds of millions of people you get 1600 agreeing with the point that means it's DOA. It would need 160,000 men agreeing. Ya'll just listened to the 1% and applied it to the 99%.
It's not current. TikTok renders SNL obsolete because it can't keep up.
@@aaronhaceves yeah they either have to go really big and write songs, because otherwise literally every other joke has probably been made by the time Saturday night rolls around. I mean, they have to have the sketches done by like Wednesday to allow time for costumes and set design and whatnot.
@aaronhaceves tik tok is for children and old people. I'd rather not install that sketchy chinese spyware on to my phone. Once you're over thirty, you'll realize that tik tok is something you want nothing to do with.
This sketch is more of just about the facts of life. If you are a man, you think about the Roman Empire, and this is a joke has been around for well overca decade. Much older than tik tok.
@@aaronhaceves Yeah this is kind of a miss for me because the Rome trend came and went on TikTok like 2 months ago. At the time you couldn't escape it, every other TikTok on my feed was a Roman empire joke. It was totally beaten to death, and now it's basically completely disappeared. So this coming out months later feels so off the mark. On the other hand, Chloe Troast's orphan sketch last week was hilarious. I think SNL is much better off just coming up with weird original stuff like that instead of trying to hop on trends like this
As a woman who has been rewatching HBO's "Rome," I put myself in the guys heads, cause, you know, ancient history rules!
I need to find me a girl who likes Rome instead of that astrology nonsense.
PULLO!!! FORMATION!!!!!!!!!!
@@jaobidan2358 I started rewatching because Ray Stevenson died 😥 Love Pullo!
I always make it a point to rewatch that one every 5 years or so. I think I'm about due 😅
RIP Ray Stevenson.
This is the sketch version of that meme with the couple in their bed and the woman's like, "I bet he's thinking about other girls", but the guy's thought bubble is about something COMPLETELY different. 🤣
Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that a triceratops would totally own a spinosaurus in a fight
Not if the triceratops is a gemini.
lol!@@MC-ib6nc
@@MC-ib6nc A spinosaurus would know to stay the hell away from a triple (horned) gemini.
Every world history teacher is going to use this for the next twenty years. I say this as a world history teacher.
"You're acting like the visigoths right now" lol
This one will be a classic … it’s so topical and funny as hell 😂 kudos to the writers on this sketch it’s an A+ and every actor in it was totally on point .. this is live sketch comedy at its very best .. and reminds me so much of really old SNL from the late 70’s !
Topical.
Everybody will have to remember there was a weird week one year where this was a thing. I don't see this being a classic because it's so specific to last week.
@@JamesEvans2023What happened last week?
@@UkeCan1I don't know about last week, but a few weeks ago, on a British game show, David Mitchell made a joke about the Roman Empire popping into his head several times a day. And maybe he got it from some show that transcends international borders, something every one is watching.
@@LindaC616 I remember a few weeks ago people were asking streamers how often they think about the roman empire. like it became a meme.
Fun fact the script only had Ego slapping Jason one time but he was clearly into it and just had her keep doing it
The dinosaur obsession as a kid is so real lol. I remember after Jurassic Park came out, I walked around pretending to be a velociraptor for an embarrassingly long time. I even remember breaking the tops off of plastic clothing hangers and holding them between my toes to mimic that one big claw they had on each foot 😄🤦🏻♀️
... but enough about last week ...
Man Jason Momoa looks so Good in that costume that he needs to find a Rome movie to make stat LoL 😅
"In the year double M double X triple I". Loved that!
It's one of the best sketches on SnL for this year so far .
The music videos are some of the funniest things on the show. Remember "Boomers Got the Vax" and "Loco" during the pandemic? I think Chris Redd used to write most of these while he was on the show.
@dbadagna
agree , those were fantastic as well 💯 %
@dbadagna
just watched these 2 sketches again.
...reminiscent.
Best skit of the year!! This had my 76 year old dad feeling hype.
Wow this video really makes me think… about how Caesar was the first leader to have his picture minted on currency while still alive
Was he? I'm pretty sure the Hellenistic kingdoms did that.
This needs to be added to Spotify asap. I need this in my playlist 😂😂😂
The last time my partner looked pensive and lost in thought it turned out he was thinking about his rear tires so yeah, this is spot on.
THIS IS GREAT 😂 loved the kid just hopping in and rapping about dinosaurs
As an Italian I cannot avoid thinking about Rome, especially because I live here 😂
As someone who is a big fan of ancient Rome, I found this hilarious.
I swear this skit had me literally crying it was just perfect lol 😭
Same.❤
I need to make part or all of this my ringtone. I was a dinosaurs kid, decided to study archaeology, and now work in the heritage sector. This is my anthem.
Jason Momoa getting slapped in the face like 4 times while dressed as a Roman soldier was hilarious!
I can just see Jason telling Ego not to hold back on the slaps.
Five times a day this song pops into my dome
FR tho, Rome and dinosaurs are endlessly fascinating topics.
Wish I could stop watching this😢 its so addictive 😂
Fr
Dinosaur kid is such a mood 🦕.
Ego Nwodim makes this sketch, it’s so amazing but her slaps and passion bring it to the next level
SNL is at its best when it goes weird
Sarah Sherman outdid herself with the tennis skit.
Isn’t crazy how we just learned how to backward engineer the type of self healing concrete they used? The secret ingredient was salt water!
Most SNL sketches make me grin. I enjoy them very much. Some are better than others; of course, they make me chuckle. This sketch, like maybe two or three others in the course of a season, made me laugh out loud, so much so that my wife, from across the room, had to speak up. "What's so funny?" she asked. "An SNL sketch about Rome," I said. "Why is it so funny?" she asked. I didn't know what to tell her. Why IS it so funny? It's also not really about Rome, is it? All I know is, I nearly choked on my Sunday (2023-11-19) morning breakfast every time Ego smacked Jason Momoa across the face. Why was that funny? I don't know. But it was.
if SNL sketches make you grin, go watch SNL with Chris Kattan, Chris Farley, and Will Ferrel. today's SNL should make you cry
I enjoyed reading this comment.
This is the most accurate representation of my thought process I've ever seen
Every time I hear Chloe's singing voice, it always blows me away, but hearing her rap a little at the end!? Now they need her in a rap song, please. We already know Punkie and Ego can rap, give Chloe some bars!
I hate comparing cast members, so I'll just say she's a great "replacement" for Cecily!! She's great, I can't wait to see her evolution on the show
this batch can really sing
@@t.brooks7602 You know, it is possible to compliment someone without bringing another down, or comparing them to others. And Chloe isn't a replacement, she's her own person. No one can replace Cecily.
Her hairstyle in this video made me think it was Cecily for a second!
Well, I'm gonna be comin back to this one for years. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. I wish it was an hour long.
"Goddamn tyrannosaur!"
Is the best line ever.
This honestly hit me hard lol. I've lately been super interested in ancient Rome for whatever reason. Glad I'm not alone
Of course Aquaman love dat aquaduct!
She really leaned into to those slaps! 😂 ✋
"In the Year: Double M, Double X, Triple I" (2023)
😂😂😂😂
This gives Lonely island 'incredible thoughts' vibes.
*popstar never stop never stopping
Leave it to Ego to turn this sketch into a full contact sport. 😁
Slapping someone who's not gonna slap you back, ooh, hilarious
That was the funniest part.
This is the ILLEST! 🤣 If this episode doesn't win an Emmy...
As a triple Gemini, I feel majorly attacked right now. 😂
Don't worry. It's not real lol
My ex husband is a triple Gemini - it’s totally real. @@user-vl2jq1wx7w
@@user-vl2jq1wx7w How dare you :D
I've had so many people be shitty to me when they find out I'm a Gemini. It's like we JUST met. lol
I didnt understand the attack so I sidestepped it. Lol
I was obsessed as a child by dinosaurs 🦖, now my grandkids are completely obsessed with dinosaurs 🦕, the kid rapping about dinosaurs just got me good!!!😂
This is definitely ONE OF THE BEST SKITS THIS YEAR. Jason and the SNL crew, You guys are AWESOME. Now I just need to make my sides stop hurting from the laughter.
The dinosaur part by far . .. this video was well performed and written 10/10
Rome?
All I think about are robes 👘👘👘
Hanbok😍😍 👘 👘
Romans wore togas. Isn't that similar?
@@jareddemarzo8196 Close...but not the same.
Astrology lmmaaaaaoooo 🤣🤣🤣💯💀 #priorities
Would love to see a full version of this song released. So catchy.
This is so good! It's nice to see some humor that references people's internal lives and not just their exterior roles in society. Plus I totally thought about dinosaurs all the time as a kid and regularly think about Rome and/or astrology more than I should as an adult, so this tracks.
I think about dinosaurs more than I need to as an adult. Heck, I probably think about dinosaurs more than I think about Rome.
I think about this song everyday. I play it everyday.... what did you do to me?
Seriously, excellent.
This was the best skit by far the only thing that hit harder than the slaps was the transitioning from reality to rome 😂
Like, ASTROLOGY! ASTROLOGY! xD Oh shit! Now it's a jam! xD ♥
I love Rome! This song was really funny. Some of them can really sing well!
I literally ask my husband every other day how often he thinks about the Roman Empire
I would like to believe that this is one of Jason Mamoa’s special interests that he asked them to make a skit about 😁
No, it is a trend that began with making fun of Andrew Tate, which then went to British comedy shows, and then apparently started appearing on tiktok, (which I have never watched).
Oh I loved Jason dressed up as a Roman soldier rapping! Who came up with this sketch?! Loved it!
2:25 this shot + the choreography! dayum it’s good!
We need a movie about Sparta with Momoa in it
I would definitely pay to see that
OMGI can't stop laughing!! This was Awesome!!!! hahahahaha
This is the best show they've done in awhile. Jason Momoa is just a natural at this. He'll be in the five-timers club in no time!
Why is this so accurate 😂
This skit was the first time I laughed during the show. There were several skits in this show that didn't even make me chuckle. This one was good, nearly as good as Weekend Update. I was genuinely thinking about going to bed and catching the replay on CZcams until they did this skit.
fvcken love this! kudos to the writer
Kenan is always the best part of any SNL skit 😂
I used to watch him on All That and Kenan & Kel.
He only made me laugh one time ever and it was the atm skit lol
Yep... ooh weee what up with that! 😂
@@RobeLifeMusicWhen they filmed good burger two this summer, he surprised everyone at the cop shop one morning with coffee and donuts.
@@Andrew-dd3yt how on earth do you remember that he only made you laugh once? Like, who singles it out and pays attention to details like that?
This sketch was topical and amazing
Imma be rapping this song at school in front of a bunch of students 😂.
I can distinctly remember zoning out and thinking about rome while my gf talked to me after i got Rome Total War for a few weeks. Good times.
I did not know the statues were painted!! That’s kinda scary lol
"He must be thinking about other women..."
"ROME ROME ROME ROME!"
for me as an archaeologist with a BA in Roman archaeology this is way too accurate
Except for the statue of Romulus and Remus. That was added to the Etruscan during the Renaissance
Punky’s reaction is so good.
"Nah woman". If I said that to my mother, my parents would stop arguing and she would most certainly beat me. And my father would too
