The message: Eventually life starts sucking in the normal ways only.
And honestly I find that really beautiful
I love this. So true
“Eventually”. Life just sucks from the get go. In your earliest years you have no control over anything and then you get shoved into a shitty education/daycare system that desperately needs to be revamped. We have major infrastructure problems in our country. Capitalism is dying because the government only supports big businesses. We’ve stagnated in terms of jobs because at some point we just settled 5 days and 40hrs instead of increasing wages and lowering the work week like we had done before (not forcibly or artificially like government is trying to, but naturally because it just doesn’t make that much sense to work that often for most jobs). Income taxes are... yeah getting shoved into a locker is the best analogy, and that’s the least terrible part. Then because U.S. tax law makes so little sense (or maybe it does make sense and they’re just really pro super rich people) the richer you are the more write offs you can do to pay less in taxes. Just try mapping out or outlining your life (school, college, career, retirement, death) and take a look at it; it’s depressing. Life just sucks in general and then people make worse. Maybe it gradually gets worse, but I mean I HATED life as a kid because I had no freedoms, no worth, was forced to go to school (when probably 5 out of 8 hours I was either learning something pointless (still never learned how to do my taxes or balance a check book or health insurance or all the “common sense” bullshit I know had to figure out myself) or just doing literally nothing and wasting life) and that lasted over a decade. Life
Definitely didn’t get “better” from then, but it just always sucked. God, do I hate that we’re born into this world of no choice of our own and then expected to be grateful for the shitty lives we have to live.
Is the iguana normal to you, Richard? Is it???
And that's true equality.
I don't even worry about being gay anymore, I only worry about the iguana
I'm pretty sure that this is just Kate's real life
But Kate has a cat (a fat, alley cat named Nino Positano). We should be happy she doesn't have reptiles for pets.
EDIT: I just found out that Kate McKinnon actually did have an iguana as a childhood pet, and hated it.
Kate stopped doing characters a while ago. Now she just shows up as herself every week.

@@canaisyoung3601 but she own a iguana as teenager. Still has trauma from this...
😂😂😂😂😉
This whole skit is 100% just a cry for help from Kate about the iguana. FREE HER.
I was really laughing.... I also owned a terrifying Iguana, that mauled me in the face. It would attack you in your sleep, and chase you around the house. I kinda got a kick out of it for that.... but my girlfriend wouldn't even come over my house because of it.
Luckily (sigh), it finally croaked after stuffing its face with dry cat food, it burgled from the cupboard. I found out later, that Iguanas need much more light than most owners can ever provide, so their "rutting" cycle gets extended indefinitely. Otherwise he would have been ornery for only about a month or so, once a year.
RIP.... IGGY POP ... fierce berzerker lizard, had 6 long terrifying years lurking in my house.
@@pheresy1367 🤣
"It figured out doorknobs." 🤣
Free who, Kate or the iguana itself?
@@melliott-ey2ul lol😂
You can’t understand how much this IS my life! My husband and I have been together since 1995. We have two sons. They’re now 16 and 13. Our youngest literally would cry for a turtle...begging us for a turtle. We got him the turtle about five or six years ago...and now the turtle has commandeered our life. From a fly infestations that I can never remove to weird fungal disorders that we all have...because of the turtle. Did I mention it hisses at me when I feed it and only I feed it. My husband changes it’s cage water which honestly is too much for me to handle without gagging.
Guess who quickly lost interest in the turtle... and I feel sort of bad for it because it’s entire life is basically terror feeding from to middle aged gay guys who used to be really really cool...but now it’s just the turtle. It will outlive us.
I would watch this show.
this is easily the best thing I've read all day
@@EricaGamet “Turtle of Terror”
But fr if you find out you can’t care for it properly or it’s too much for y’all, there are certain rescues that can help you 💖
And I’m sorry but the terror feeding sounds hysterical 😂
See no, you lost me at weird fungal infections. Sorry, but that turtle would have to go lol.
"fully accepted by my entire family. but... i don't like most of them"
THIS IS A FUCKING MOOD LMAO
Right?
MOOD
Amen
@Heidi Hopf I love that
This line was too real. When I was in college, my gay classmates were all talking about "how did your family take it/mine has accepted me..." and my response was pretty much "I honestly couldn't care less what my family thinks of me being gay..." Which turns out is *not* a popular response.
Moral of the story: Homophobic bullies ain't shit when compared to an iguana.
@Sara Mill it’s all part of the democratic conspiracy to overthrow the secret iguana dictatorship that Controls United States government. DOWN WITH ANTI IGUANA PROPAGANDA AND UP WITH FREEDOM.
@Sara Mill That’s what the establishment wants you to think, their using the whole liberal vs conservative thing to cover up the fact that all the high ranking politicians are secretly serving the iguanas. The only national not controlled by iguanas is Canada. Don’t fall for the lies of the establishment. DOWN WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT UP WITH FREEDOM.
@@adonalsium844 this is the best response to trumpian stupidity that I’ve seen in a long time. Bless. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Sara Mill 's human brain was surgically removed and replaced by an iguana brain. SHE'S PART OF THE REPTILIAN OVERLORD CONSPIRACY!!!
@@Mcb0223 I have to agree! 😂
"I only have one friend, and she's my girlfriend--and she don't even like me that much." Oooof. That's the realest line in this skit.
Sooo much real in here!
💯
Hell yea
Too real
Yep, it's funny because it's true.
And same thing for straight folks too.
The iguana does NOT get better
"It figured out doorknobs..."
Kate's bit with that iguana was amazing! 🤣🤣🤣
Everything got better for the iguana. Floors. Doorknobs. Faces. Everything it ever wanted!
czcams.com/video/36J001dJ5Js/video.html
You gotta work with [preferred pronoun]. A lot. Whatever your iguana identifies as. More than likely it is either a female or a male with 2 penises.
My iguana follows me around the house. Tuna is the chicken of the sea. Iguana is the chicken of the tree.
Regardless of species, gender, or sexual identity, we can all relate to each other.
Some of this was kind of joking, but people underestimate intelligence and overestimate it as well.
I love iguanas. They're always better!
"Now There's An Evil Dinosaur Living In My House." LMAO.
Kate McKinnon makes every SNL skit she is in better.
Who makes a skit worse?
that line was a coffee spitter this morning
This was me, without the gay. I have an epic tale about "the rough green snake" my mother brought home for my 4 year old son...
It figured out doorknobs. LOL
Kate makes everything she is in better, period. Man, I love her.
as a gay person, i really love that they made a skit about gay people using all their gay cast members and their host. it seems like a simple, obvious casting choice but it really makes a difference
Agreed, it's left me with a warm feeling this morning 😊
@Skylarkist Expert I think you're confusing gay with Jewish.
Hold up, all those homies gay?
@@ashleyhathaway8548 best response ever 😂
@Skylarkist Expert I don't think that's true at all, only like 3 cast members are lgbtq out of 15, and I suspect that Punkie won't be here in 1-2 more years. Kate mckinnon likely won't be staying much longer either.
Don’t tell Kate that iguanas live like 15 years...
she better just stop getting cages and give it a room. don't worry about the door, it can open it!
@@samanthanickson6478 Thts scary ahhaha....Meow
Iguanas only live 15 years? ....uh.... uh... no one told Hercules or Sampson that! (the two biggest iguanas in Gitmo when I was there, both were known on base before Castro closed Cuba)
omg
It'll live to 20 at least just out of pure spite
Well, there goes our idea for an office iguana. 🦎 Thanks so much for the shout-out! #ItGetsBetter! 🌈
XD
@Justin Grynkewich Me too lol
Nice comment!
@Justin Grynkewich, I'm kind of surprised that SNL didn't pin it.
Thanks for making the SNL-inspired iguana pin... got mine recently and I love it!
“Don’t wear basketball shorts when you out with your girl or everyone gonna think you the one that fights” haha Lmfaooo underrated joke😂😂
It's true lmao I work with a gay couple and the one you thought would be "the guy"basketvall shorts and slides and all that, is the chill one with her own biological son. The girly girl be running up on people with attitudes lmao.
Seriously, I know the iguana material was hilarious and all but that one was my favorite.
That was pretty damn funny!
my partner scares the shit out of me and im the more masc one so
That was the best line of the skit and I'm so mad it didn't get the laughs it deserved.
bowen's thesis of "gay men are way better at bullying me than straight boys were" is so good. you can tell this was written by the snl gays and i love that we're here and doing stuff like this.
Yes!
It reminds me of this video critiquing the movement over 10 years ago. Something like “it doesn’t get better it just gets less bad.”. And unfortunately it is pretty spot on.
Wdym "we"?
@@Liquoricilicious i'm kate mckinnon obv
Girl....nobody is born gay...shut up
All I’m thinking when Bowen is talking about getting bullied:
“Must get rid of toxic in community.” 🤣
why no response
ICONIC
AHEM gaysovercovid AHEM
Need a real king that can handle.
Hell job at Sara Lee
"Its scarier when gay people are mean because they're so organized"
Factual information 🤣
“It figured out doorknobs”. That made me laugh out loud for some reason.
I think that’s a Jurassic Park reference.
Same to both of you. She called it a dinosaur 😂
You are not alone😂😂😂
100% jurassic park, I'm rolling here.
Tragically, my parents used to say that about my brother and I - prewalking, our crib was against a closet door and we figured out doorknobs before walking. Out of the crib, this caused escape problems, especially with two babies going in different directions.
"i only worry about the IGUANA."
“So much better that he got to have problems previously only available to straight people. And THAT is progress.”
This is what it’s really about
Which is fact, this line was brilliant
I'm Bi and campaigned for marriage equality in the UK when I was younger, my best friend's older brother is gay and was against gay marriage, when I asked why he said "I'm for it in principle but my boyfriend will make me marry him if they make it legal so I hope they don't". I knew quite a few gay people who were "against" gay marriage for similar reasons, one of them said "Why would we want to get married? That's for straight people who want to ruin their lives and lose half their stuff".
True equality is when we aren't defined by idiotic stuff like who we sleep with, thankfully we are moving in that direction.
@@bipolarminddroppings LMFAO! Thank you. That was a good read. I'm already in a good mood due to the script so I read this with a smile
@@bipolarminddroppings Sooo........can we hear the end of that first story??? 👀
It's odd that even though Dan Levy was hosting they randomly got Johnny Galecki for this sketch
YOU are genius, yes!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it!
That was my first thought!!
The Covid hair struggle is real.
“I actually never worry about being gay anymore 😄, I only worry about the iguana 😀” I coughed on my drink the second I heard that lmao
1:00 "Stuff about taxes would have been extremely helpful."
It really is bullshit that taxes weren't taught in school.
@@ender003 It's Ironic because the US is one of the only nations where you have to do your own taxes and where the government of your country doesn't know exactly what you make and what you owe without you telling them.
The whole iguana story was too funny compared to the real world issues. Income taxes, lack of friends, bullying and then that flipping iguana 🦎👏👏👏
You don't think they iguana story is real? Wake up, man! This is real life!!
If you've ever owned an iguana, you'd realize that the iguana story was a "real world issue."
I have a bug phobia and had to have life roaches delivered to the house for years because that’s all the bearded dragon would eat. Found some escapees in my bed one night and nearly lost my mind. Lizard problems are effing real.
The girlfriend line is the realest line in this skit 😂
That's probably what Punkie Johnson has to deal with, since she does have a wife and everyone thinks she's the man in the relationship, even though she doesn't identify as male. There was a standup piece she did about that.
Common sense to many and news to few: This skit is GOLD and shows PROGRESSION because it's not about people admitting their comfort w/their sexuality, it's about other facts that every single individual has to deal with, regardless of orientation (hence: "the iguana").
i love how this skit is very funny but also very sincere in that it still does promote the original project while making fun of gay adulthood without being mean spirited.
It helps that the people in the sketch actually are gay (Bowen, Punkie, Kate, and episode host Dan Levy, who looks like he could be a cast member on SNL, and I'm not saying that because his father, Eugene Levy, also did sketch comedy) and that a writer who identifies as non-binary (Celeste Yim) wrote it.
I love how they said “it gets better, now we’re having issues that used to be only accessible to straight people!” Theyre really right it IS progress 😂😂
Dan, Kate, Punkie & Bowen put together a skit just for us gays 😭😭😭 I know it's just one skit but it means a lot to see how successful & proud they are, and to know they're putting stuff out for our community. hope I can be like them someday
You most def will, and I look forward to that day!
I kind of want a skit of just Kate's video essays about the iguana, for example "I think the iguana is listening to conversations. I told my wife that I was going to pick up the kids from school, and when I got to the car the iguana was sitting in the driver's seat, staring at me. Another time, I saw the iguana sitting on my bed watching Jurassic Park. please send help"
at the very end, the camera briefly turns to the iguana, before fading to black
Trigger warning for the words “Income Tax”
Sharon Casey Ledwidge At least he didn't say Poll Tax. * _gulp_ *
Hey you gotta censor the word dude I almost died
AHH NO
I twitched & looked around out my windows.
omg true
“You know what feels like getting shoved in a locker? Income tax”
I fear the taxes I must pay eventually
You could just refuse.
@@BigBadJerryRogers I’m bad at business tho
it's really not that bad, srsly. most people don't gotta do shit, you get a w2 you pop it in to the ACTUALLY FREE turbotax, and not the fake free turbotax, and boom. it asks you a bunch of stuff you don't actually need to worry about tho, so thats annoying. no i did not come from a reservation, or get injured in a war, or buy farmland this year, please give me my money now
@@kristajohnson9173 It depends how much you have saved and you have to hope the IRS never has some further interest and accepts your return as it is. It's not fun.
@@kristajohnson9173 Turbotax lobbies the government to keep taxes compicated.
“Yeah.. I think so.. it get better ...? Sometimes”😂😂😅
I love they show real photos of themselves when they were teenagers!💗
I REALLY felt it when Matt said "I've been fully accepted by my entire family, but I don't like most of them". LMAO
The funniest laugh out loud snl skit I've seen in ages. The wife that got mauled in the face by an iguana - I just spat my coffee all over the laptop! Great job SNL.
The iguana is controlling Kate’s life.
"Just because you can get married doesn't mean you should." Hehe, Amen. 100% of all divorces are caused by marriage. 😉
I'm so glad I was working in family law long enough to see gay divorces. It was fascinating... usually one partner was successful and one was a leech.
Makes me think of the key and peele characters where jordan's character clearly doesn't want to get married and was low key hoping they wouldn't legalize gay marriage lol
The absolutely unrelated iguana had me 🦖
The most accurate thing I've watched this decade.
Dan Levy is so naturally funny, just like his dad.
He is funny and a talented writer, but I wonder if he could do completely different character impressions like Eugene was so good at. So far all I've seen Dan be on camera is basically himself. Granted, I haven't watched everything from SNL yet so I dunno...
@@DrGamelove Dan is funny but Eugene has given me so many more laughs over the years. I've been watching him since SCTV and the mockumentary "Best in Show" is one of my favorites.
@@oakpkdude I believe it was Nick and Night that showed SCTV when I was a kid and that way my intro to a bunch of people.
@@DrGamelove You could be right. I know there were a bunch of people that started out on SCTV; Dan Akroyd, Catherine O'Hara, John Candy and the list goes on.
@@oakpkdude Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas too, wasn’t Akroyd SNL? I know he’s Canadian but I don’t recall him on second city.
Well they didn't call the campaign "It gets good."
It gets... Eh 🤷♂️
I need a spin off show of just Kate vs the iguana please and thank you
Why does Dan Levy look exactly like Johnny Galecki used to?
Facebones2391 - exactly what I was thinking!!!
Dan's cuter though
Holy Sara Gilbert he does. Eugene is Johnny daddy
He literally tweeted that a few years ago and it's still a thing 😂😂😂
I think he looks like his dad in this sketch.
Don't wear shorts in public with my girlfriend anymore because then they think you're the one who fights. LOL
This was my favorite moment. I would watch a whole skit - possibly a whole movie - with this as the foundation.
That was brilliant
@@Yes-iu3kr same!
As someone who was just starting college and joining the GSA when It Gets Better campaign started, I really appreciate this skit in my 30s. 😂
“It figured out door knobs....” Lol!!!!
"it gets better and then somethings..EH"
“I made one vague tweet about chromatica and I had to move”
Me, a gay: ITS WHAT YOU DESERVE
Cause you only like definitive tweets about chromatica?
Future Nostalgia and Plastic Hearts outsold.
@@Bloooo95 Who cares lmao
@@tyrant-den884 lol
I was in knots laughing at this sketch then I read your comment and I am done!! If I don't get total sensory deprivation with back up drugs soon I'll die from laughing!
01:56 those Tweets are top notch
“I know where you live” LOL
Kate looks like she's playing Ellen in this video. That hair 😆
I was feeling more Jane Lynch. Lmao.
@@GlamMakeupLove87 No, it was more like Hannah Gadsby!
The glasses say "1990s Rick Moranis"; the hair with those glasses remind me of Sally Jesse Raphael.
Why was every sketch with Dan Levy absolute perfection?!!!!!
I'm starting a petition to have Dan host SNL once a month for the rest of his life. Anyone joining? 🥰
I like Dan, but I am afraid if I met him in person, he would throw rocks at me.
This is my favorite skit of the year so far. Share this with all your heterosexual friends. If they are heterosexual men they can stop envying lesbians and if they are heterosexual women, they can stop envying lesbians. 😂🥴😁
everybody wants to be a lesbian until they get to the iguanas.
No one knows what you mean. Work on your misogyny issues.
As a heterosexual man, there isn't much in life that can stop me from thinking about how much I envy lesbians 😂
😂😂🤣
If anything the opposite is true considering an increasing number of formerly lesbian female identifying individuals are now identifying as male.
"I Tweeted one vague opinion about Chromatica and I had to move" 😂😭 SO FUCKING TRUE, y'all can be so vicious. I love Gaga but it's not her best
That iguana bit got a genuine laugh out of me.
The fact that Kate had an Iguana growing up makes this so much funnier
“I have an evil dinosaur living in my house”
“Now I just have one friend, and she’s my girlfriend - and she don’t even like me that much” ...... welcome to my (wonderful!) life 🤣😂🤣😂
This is actually super sweet, remembering the 10 year anniversary of that video. It made a huge difference to me back then, and now I get to rejoice in the banality of existence 🤗
"You know what feels very similar to being shoved in a locker, though? Income tax." Y'all, this skit is utter perfection. I love it so much.
Kate was featured a few years ago in a GQ magazine feature article and photo shoot. The photo shoot included pics of her with an iguana crawling on her. A while later in an interview with Seth Meyers she spoke of having had an iguana as a pet when she was a teen. It was apparently not a great experience. She concluded that iguanas do not belong in suburban homes.
now I know why you never see dan levy and johnny galecki in the same room
I was convinced that was Johnny Galecki...
😂😂😭 that totally went over my head
I came to the comments to see if I was the only one that thought Dan looks like Johnny Galecki here!

Omg the iguana bit had me rolling on the floor. Lmao
Dan Levy with long hair looks like Johnny Galecki and now I can’t unsee that
My day got better from this skit🦎
“Because they are so organized” I died 😂💀💀💀
“There is an evil dinosaur living in my house...” 😭😭😭😭😭
I love this skit so much - they should do more of these. Coming was hard - yeah - that part got better - but trying to fit in with the gay bullies became it’s own nightmare. I got dumped because I wore too much plaid. I got dumped because I didn’t want to watch another episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I got dumped because I told the truth about Justin Timberlake’s nasal whiny singing voice. I look better in a tank top than he ever did and I’m 36 years old.
I hope you feel vindicated about JT!
“People are going to think you’re the one who fights.” I’m dead
LMFAO, "it figured out door knobs." It has a whole "Happy Fun Ball" vibe.
I shall now call iguanas "evil dinosaurs" for the rest of my life. Thanks, Kate.
I feel old now. I remember when "it get's better" project started, and now there is a whole generation who grew up with it. Makes me happysad. :)
Kate with the iguana has me fuckign dying i cant lmaoooooooooo
Is Dan Levy playing Johnny Galecki? 😆 🤣 😂
“It figured out doorknobs” killed me.
"..and now I have an evil dinosaur living in my house." 😆
"It figured out doorknobs." Lol!
I flew across the country to see my son in a play in high school. I ended up staying with him at his mothers house. Just before I went to sleep on the couch in their very large living room, I was told of their iguana... And of course it was in the couch... scratching.... It took me almost all night to finally fall asleep and when I woke up, there was this almost 4 foot long 'dinosaur' on the back of the couch looking right at me... I half expected a cape thing to come up behind its head and to attack me... I scrambled away with a scream and of course everyone else in the house thought it was so funny.... it was sofa king funny...
@@mezzb haha,... its a true story... I just thru the pun in because it seemed a good fit.
Kate McKinnon is the best! She cracks me up in every skit! 🤣
I'm very glad that SNL can make a nice joke about the "It Gets Better" project. I guess it got better.
Oh lord, the Iguana!
0:52 Leonard Hofstadter got fit and healthy after leaving Sheldon 😁😂
something i really appreciated about this is how they used actually gay actors for this skit. made me happy!!
Wait, what?
They are actually gay? I thought it was just acting.
My gaydar is broken.
@@TheScreamingFrog916 yup! All of the actors are actually gay!
Kate and the iguana were all this sketch needed. I literally forgot about everything else that happened in it.

THE CHROMATICA TWEET IS SO ACCURATE LMAOOO
This is hands down my favorite SNL skit
PLS HIGHKEY THE BEST SKIT EVER
CHROMATICA LMAOOOO
As a trans teen I love this lol. But yeah believe me I know adulthood will suck but it beats the way people treat me rn.
For some reason "mauled in the face" just broke my funny bone.
It figured out door knobs. 🤣🤣🤣
the iguana gag 😭🤣🤣
The way Kate says “The first thing I think of when I wake up is the iguana” -- I CANT BREATHE 😭🤣
Can we just agree to now call snl The Kate McKinnon hour? Every single skit she is in, her humor just dominates!
Sidenote..... totally can relate to the iguana, but mine is a bearded dragon!! They can live to be 20!!
