This was oddly beautiful
I’m 14 and that was deep
@Lynx Music nah, I think he’s right
@@Yooooooo83 boy fuck off I thought i had a hair in my screen and got frustated cause i couldnt move it hahahahahahaha
@@luisgil9115 my man, you should use dark mode😂
@@Yooooooo83 lol, dark mode is better tbh, less straining on the eyes
Laughed so hard when he lipped “White House.”
Me too hahahahahah
Haha for real
Sammmeee😂🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao i was hoping to see a comment on it💀💀
Tyler Ledbetter me too 😂
This was a depiction of two entirely different worlds of the people, with a hint of fun and laughter thrown in. This doesn't feel like the usual SNL comedy. I appreciate this
you're tryinh to satisfy a longing with compulsive online binge watching
@@criztu stop being so real i feel exposed ive been watching too muxh shit for the last year like wtf am i doing with my life why cant i get up and go home rn im so lazy damn
and ppl dare to say SNL doesn't keep releasing good stuff, I mean, any show is open to bad episodes, but man when SNL hits the ball, it's a home run
Schiller would be proud.
I assume neither english nor coherent communication are native to yourself.
His face when she says (and he repeats) “Oh, did I say red house, I meant white house.” 🤣🤣🤣💀 Classic.
I'm interested job

Lies again? Contender Series Cold Storage
"Why don't you quit your job?"
"Because I won't have any money"
"...you are a very interesting man"
So relate able
it was a jab at Melania
I'm dying
Yea, what would it mean?!!
fantamas06 it means, if trump were to quit his million dollar buissness, he would still have millions to spare
Suddenly I want to listen to an audio book narrated by Kumail
Aaron Aprile yes
He's the voice I want to hear talk me to sleep after sex.
same tho
He’s a lucky bastard I wish I had nice voice like that..I sound like mcloven 😂😅
It was 999 I made it 1k , first time in my entire internet life
I feel the spider in a box is a metaphor that's way above my intellect.
Blip Machine It’s a symbol of the memory of seeing Melania as a real human being with her kindness and vulnerability, just like any one of us.
Or it's just a spider.
What spider?
She said she thought he was her spider at first, but then she realised SHE was the spider. She's a vulnerable spider that's locked in a pretty box, protected from being "squashed by the maid" but no freedom, no air to breathe. I think that when she gave him the spider, it's like giving herself to him.
@@APHxVOCALOID12lover wow...
I know a guy who married an American after becoming friends with her through customer service. He worked in India and she called for technical support issue and he somehow got her number. Now they are married. LMAO
Wtf , how desperate is she.
lol! There was a lady who met the man who would become her husband when he delivered Dominos pizza to her house!
There's a movie with the same plot, but the girl's Indian,and the guy's American.
@@ellaenchanted8407 what movie is that ? I want to know
@@ellaenchanted8407 it's "The other end of the life" .
This for some reason had me very emotionally invested.
Luke Gold Me too, I think it was a brilliant and sincere sketch.
Luke Gold when she showed up at the call center I was like, wait.....💔
i think i'm gonna cry
If they made this premise into a movie I'd totally watch it.
It’s simple... the music.
Julio Torres writes some of the most bizarre but still incredibly entertaining skits. They need to use him more
how can you tell who wrote this? i didn't see it on the video, but i've always wanted to know who does these
Come on chris' tummy! Tell us!
tummytimeCHRIS7 Ooh, the papyrus guy! He’s a fantastic writer indeed.
Alejandro Yegros I know him from the HBO show “Los Espookys” and thought he was hilarious and looked him up and saw that he wrote many of my favorite “new age” SNL sketches. I’ve been watching them back and it makes them even better when I can really see his unique humor shine through the skits.
Everyone should watch Los Espookys. Great, really funny, and original show
Wow, that was actually profoundly deep, emotional, insightful, and humanistic.
"actually"
@@hijodelaisla275 "'actually'"

I thought this was going to be funny, and it turned out to be kind of melancholy but sweet
yea, it failed as a comedy skit.
Melancholically melancholy
He must have thought the same thing.
He went on lol
@Jason Yang Either am I, but apparently you have to be, who cares anymore don't stress yourself outJY, just have peace within yourself, stay away from passive aggressive people, without valium, just be yourself, I'm trying to be. Trump is not important, just ourselves
This was better than most Oscar winning movies.
Certainly better than most non Oscar winning movies.
You seem to have high standards! #stupidfuck😅

You made me laugh so phuking hard, thank you☺️☺️☺️☺️

@@sherlockholmes2497 Crash. That was easy.
only a little different in the UK 😅
This was surprisingly good. Probably more realistic than we realize. Kudos to the writers.

"It's difficult to talk to him about things that are not...solid. You know, things that are abstract"
This is an amazing skit
wait i thought it said strapped 😂
I typically find Trump jokes lazy and overused, but this one was a step above the rest.
Yeah, Big Boss Man loves hand size. My prediction, Trump will win in 2020!
Of course, it should always be Facts over Feelings!
"Red white and blue rage" is so underrated in this skit.
Jokes aside, as a former Amazon customer rep I can confirm the inherent sadness and stress of this job. Truly fucked my life over. I had weekly panic attacks in the bathroom and never completly recovered. Thanks, Jeff fucking Bezos
Hope you hv a better job now :)
@@michellelee8933 I do, thank you so much!
@@sabrinacamargo25 glad to hear that
Been a customer service of Walmart is just...hell!
It isn't a job with a long life. Just 1 or 2 years
This skit is sad and beautiful and funny. It speaks volumes about the loneliness we all share in the world. Also, the piano music is haunting. The spider is a symbolism for companionship. That is all.
no the spider symbolizes how we all feel out of place, how this is not where we are meant to be
Carlos Diaz
Both of you, shut up and fuck off.

Very Nice😀😉
holy shit that was emotional
I almost cried
It’s the piano.

You shouldn't curse. Cursing is a sin. Repent and turn to Jesus Christ or you will go to Sheol, aka hell.
Christian Coyote I've always wanted to go to Seoul. Tell me more
I often come to this clip. It makes me feel warm inside. Not sure how this is even a SNL sketch. But I am thankful them for making this. This is not for laughs. Some audience members tried to launch but abruptly stopped. It is really an interesting character combination. Person who thought about this is a genious. Has making of a great movie than a SNL sketch. Without insulting or making characters stupid, the characters were depicted with great humility. Even the elements that is suppose to be humerus doesnt make us laugh but makes us have a deep emotional connection with characters.
Two of the best actors in comedy, giving some of the best drama performances!
"Red white and blue rage" is such a real thing. I learned that after I finished my contract with the military. I'm allowed to have opinions now.
Wowww...I would love to hear more about your experiences...this skit was amusing though..
Wow, you weren’t previously allowed to? Seems to me that those who’ve served are the ones who most frequently exert their opinions, is there some legal restriction? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.
@@lotusinn3 Where I was stationed, in my particular squadron, an airman's opinion accounts for crap. When they want to know how you feel about a certain thing, they will tell you. The military wouldn't work if every Joe thought their opinion of how to approach a mission mattered. And they drill that into your skull from day one.
When I got out of the military and started working a customer service job, I saw how irate people always got what they wanted. That just blew my mind.
pixpusha Oh wow. I can see the logic in that though, you’re right about that. If every service member thought there opinion mattered, it would be chaos. Just like the chaos that comes it experiences as a civilian, with everyone thinking their opinion is important and valid just because it is their opinion. I come from a military family and have always felt a pull to the service, it’s always nice to hear from actual veterans about their experiences, good or bad. Also, thank you for your service!
I hate that old customer service adage “the customer is always right.” Now customers feel entitled to treat workers with disdain and suffocating irateness and are pretty much applauded. Crazy.
@@lotusinn3 ...Correct. Some people act like spoiled little children and think just because they spent some money, they have the right to treat someone disrespectfully. Now, on the other hand I have received horrible service from a number of companies-I just stop spending my money there.
That was weirdly poetic and deep.
Brad Painter righttt
Cecily has the most versatile accent imitation! She sound so convincing in anyone of them....
Really ironic story, I once talked to Kumail as a customer service rep! I recognized his voice right away. He’s extremely kind and funny.
Huh. Putting all the politics aside for a moment, this is an incredibly unique and attention-grabbing piece. SNL is very hit or miss when it comes to their skits; this one I really found entertaining.
But not in a humorous way, no?
The twist of it being Melania got me laughing… and then curious… in a way that "drove the story on" That's how you tell a story!
They're more like near miss or miss, tbh
Trump seved Israel very well .. it's anti-semitic to criticize Trump.
This is strangely touching
Michael Gilley It's like a romance story on a comedy show. It's so odd.
Yeah I admit the end made me a little misty.
Honestly tho
Same
I had a guy tell me I was his soulmate on one of these calls. 😂
yeah customer service is weiiiiird. i hate the "so what do you do when youre not at work" im always thinking "not talk to strange men, for one"
Damn that's deep for SNL..
That was surprisingly deep
Leaf It on the Cutting Room Floor that's what she said
Leaf It on the Cutting Room Floor "I thought, 'He is my new spider.' But I was wrong- I am your spider."
It's like the movie "The Other End of the Line".
r/im14andthisisdeep
EXACTLY! I found it rather touching than funny. And I am so touched! Lol
Who thought that the spider would be dead when he opened it?
Ryanne Barstow yeah I thought it was going to be dead or jump on him and bite him
Was expecting baby spiders to flood out everywhere
Me
I was expecting it to jump out
Yup, but it was just that much better that it wasn't.
“Did I say, red house?” I DIED
I thought the spider was going to jump on his face when he opened the box.
“If you don’t like this job then why don’t you quit?
“Because I wouldn’t have any money”
“You’re very interesting man”
LOL
if she doesn't like Donald why doesn't she quit? Because she wouldn't have any money. very good cross reference
cdchris512 she does have money. She used to be a model but I don’t know why she’s still with him?

@@maazkalim Slovenia isn't a third world country mate, moving to the USA usually means actually a lower standard of living than in slovenia
.@@novayafinch2931 Ahh...
Who mentioned Slovenia, specifically?!!
Besides, I'm not even a 'First Worlder' - let alone a Murican.
So, before "defending Slovenia's pride": You may go have some introspection whether you're suffering from the "World Rank-ism" orthodoxy propagated particularly by Murican pop-culture, and so do their mistresses - leading to its virulent belief being one of the stereotypes of 'First Worlders'.
Needless to spell-out: Your urge to "fact-correct" me on something unsaid whilst peddling an unmistakably dinosaurus-insight has peeved me off( read killed my mood).
Oh jesus... what a great gift... a spider!
You don't get it do you
@@raihanniyas24 what do you think’s a metaphor for?
A black widow spider???? Hahahaha!
last winter I found similar spider in my house, I kept it in a container (made some holes to the container, and put it some dried grass and some water in a bottle cap) to release it in spring. Maybe it was a gift from melania too!!11!1
And _still alive,_ like Michigan J. Frog!
Sometimes Kumail looks like Robin Williams... particularly in this skit.
OMG yes! I'm not that familiar with him but when I see him I feel like I've watched him in something and that's what it is exactly. Honestly there's something there vocally too.
He was an amazing host. He nailed every sketch.
An unexpected treasure from SNL.
yea right
honestly
it is like a spider in a box
I was so mentally invested in this skit. Wow where are more skits like this.
Watched the Bruno Mars skit "sad mouse" if you have not already
Yeah but it wasn't funny
He's a muscle man now. It's crazy he looks like Arnold. Really funny comedian
I want to give the person that wrote this the hug they clearly need
Whoever wrote this is brilliant. There are aspects to this that you rarely see in other comedy skits. Keep making ones like this with these writers. My family is from Iran, and I think I feel some SouthWest Asian literature principles speaking to me here.... and I LOVE it. Just the kind of unique take on comedy we need.
`what would you say these literary principles are? I'm quite interested :)
The writer is Julio Torres, an amazing Salvadoran comedian :)
@@ErikaTheGreat89 Thank you for sharing this info!
@@ErikaTheGreat89 Wow, nice ❤
@@ErikaTheGreat89 thanks!
I was expecting to laugh the whole time after hearing "Melania Trump" but then...this is just so emotional, what the helll??? Like...wow...made me rethink my life...
Then you need to call back to Pakistan.... my working hours are long so you can take extra time...
@@propakistanigamer2035 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is whole some. Like a mini movie - very heart warning. It's amazing how different this is to the live in front of audience sketches. Like the is well made, very cinematic
the spider metaphor is about melania being afraid to speak to others and how shes worried about her surroundings. people expect her to be the perfect person so he never opens up about her feelings (thus her caging the spider in a small box). when she finally met the man she was talking to, she gave him the spider along with a thanks (to symbolize that she finally got to open up to the person who listened to her and that shes no longer afraid of speaking). he opened the box, the only person who listened to her, because he was the person she opened up to. he opened that box up for her, and the spider that she feared would crawl out.
Lmao I actually want to see this as a feature length movie.
guyyouseewhenyoudie me too.
Me too! I would go see it!!
What a movie that would be ! It would have to have those two starring in it, though. They are wonderful together !
I would donate to this cause.
"actually"
The real truth behind the voice of "Thank you for calling customer support"
Renato Costa sadly, its why we have lots of tech grads in other fields, no more jobs because of politics... look it up any tech website talks about loss of tech jobs because tech lobbyists lied and told obama that we need more tech people, so they used h1b visa exploits as a veil for needed work, when in reality, they were needed to save labor costs for tech comoanies like fecesbook and zuckerscrooge, all for the money.. look up, tech jobs h1b visa exploit immigrant jobs, google it, any smart news or tech sites point out the facts.
Your life must be full of monogamy, whiteness, and perfection....to live in a fantasy world....i dream
I've called customer support out of loneliness before. Not ashamed to admit it
Renato Costa i am your 1 thousandth like
This is actual movie material
What makes this so outstandingly beautiful is that it’s disguised as comedy.. when in all reality it’s one of the most breathtaking and deep concepts. This was done SURPRISINGLY well! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
"Bully... bully." I love her impersonation of Melania.
this is a well written story. I enjoyed the symbolism of the concrete images, and concept of this fable.
Fit n Fab 420 ahaahhaa that’s how I like you tuuube
Man, that skit was the most emotional skit ive ever seen on SNL, Jesus Christ the piano!
Going back to this from time to time, its brilliant
wow dude. that was surprisingly really good.
Big Sick was pretty good too. Kumail is mad talented.
why was it surprising? don't doubt my man
The stereotype is true. Haha, what do you mean surprisingly? The content or the fact he can read and narrate while having a camera catch him smile???
He has some good little stand up bits...not as much bits like a little is good. It's pretty funny. He just didn't have a lot of material. He's funny and quick.
I thought the short was kind of stupid and petty, but done well.
k a y l e e more crybaby liberal SNL sketches. Funny how they never made fun of Obama.
No it wasn’t
This should be made into a movie.
awesome1990s this was emotional
I think it’s a twist on that Queen and Indian boy movie
I wouldn't watch it
I loved Donald Trump. I voted for him, and yet I loved this skit. For some reason it reminds me of Spike Jonze's 2013 movie Her.
It's not really about Donald Trump. This is Melania's story and her struggle for emotional independence. If anything, Trump is the antagonist of this story and I'm okay with that.
This could be the most incredible piece of art that SNL ever produced. I didn't expect this at all. It was a touching story. That didn't make (which is the case in 99% of the comedy on SNL) the characters one dimensional. Bravo.
Lifting the covers at the end to a pile of purses! Loved it!
SOMEONE MAKE THIS INTO A MOVIE
I laughed so hard when she said that! Best quote ever.
eolhc feels like it should be a movie
They have it's called “Her" lol
There's a bollywood movie like this called The Lunchbox
@@pedromontes750 that movie is boring as 🔥🔥🔥
Woah I never thought I'd ship Melania Trump with a random call center employee in Pakistan but here I am crying "Leave Donald, Melania. Spend your days happy, filled with love and spiders, and sensitive men who listen to your dreams!" This whole skit was a weirdly emotional journey.
Attractive women don't like sensitive men. They like assholes. Giant assholes. That's pretty much the way it's been throughout human history.
You seems like a wise man.
Bravo
tempest411 lol they do tho
tempest411 oh come on we dont need your read pill advise van we just enjoy amazing skit
Katie McGowan me too. #fanfiction
I wished it could end with “oh shit where did it go” after opening the box.
Or perhaps with it being dead because she didn't feed it
Interesting and thought provoking. Loved how Melanie comes to defend him.
How is that spider still alive?
one time i caught a black widow in my garage and put it in tupperware and it stayed alive for three weeks without even air
mementomori for real? The sketch is about a dude from Pakistan talking to and having an emotional affair w/ the 1st lady of the United States and a bug not being dead is the "unbelievable part" of the sketch to you?
great... currently i have a taped spider on my wall for 4 days... I don't want to take out the tape now
The will to get away from Donald Trump kept it going. Probably overnight delivery service too.
Real answer, they can go months without food or water because they've evolved to go a long time between prey. Some extreme examples have gone almost a year without either.
a much better love story than twilight
ubermensch826. Seriously? That was a thousand years ago. Give it a rest already.
Classic 😂
holy shit that was old
Pandas mating is a better love story than twilight
.... but it wasn’t a love story.
this is not a SNL comedy video..I find some calmness it watching this video. I watched this numerous times but find something soothing in this video
That's like an International Romance Movie. Kinda Beautiful.
Cecily's Melania impression is the best one I've seen so far.✌️
I think it's because she took it seriously.
I think she is the only one in the cast who can really pull it off
I thought Paris Hilton's was pretty good.
are you deaf? that accent was sounding more south american than Russian. Lol, this was the worst.
@christopher weise I was gonna say the same thing.
Yo for real tho, if this skit was a fucking movie, i would watch it... 😂😂😂

why not cable tv?
@@PoopyDoopy39 Hech! Guess [s]he means to perpetuate the belief that "Netflix® ain't a niche content-provider anymore so they fill-up their catalogue with lotta trash".
I'm so confused... I came in expecting to laugh but got this wonderful, beautiful sketch. I don't know what to do
So, TRUE ! I'm glad this guy enjoys acting, he is so funny with no effort, love it !!
Felt like I just watched a very emotional reality..very touching
Me, A fool: Oh wow, an asian guy in a call centre, real original SNL
Me , After watching this: An asian guy in a call centre and Milania Trump, that was realy emotionally touching SNL
Aaron Mitchell hes not asian he is indian
@@vericvoidal he is from Pakistan
Laughing Hyena most americans believe that middle eastern people arent asian
Well technically Russians could be considered Asian but nobody calls Russians Asians, its more about the person rather than the actual geographic location, just like how a descendant of someone born in China who is born in America is considered Asian ever though they weren't born in an Asian country.
@@timmydirtyrat6015 1- Someone with Chinese/Han heritage born in America is still an ethnic Han and Far East Asia is their native region so even they refer them as 'Asian', they are still factually correct.
2- Ethnic Russians are Baltic-Slavs, the European part of Russia is their native land and 80% of ethnic Baltic-Slavic Russians live in the European part of the country. Russians are not Asian. Russian Federation the country is a Eurasian country geographically and the Asian part of the country is conquered by white-European Russians in 16th and 17th century. Ethnic groups for exp: Tuvan people living in the Asian part of Russian Federation are Asian.
3- You can not change geographic facts.
Wow, didn't expect that; was very touching; soft haunting music, craving emotional connection, huge-ass house spider...way to go SNL :)
More wholesome than I can articulate

BigDrewMachine it was very unlike SNL, which is not a bad thing
I'm agree it wasn't funny
@@ronaldperry279 Ahhhh... Mundane pragmatism have to strike, no?

@@thelonf356 It was precisely like SNL in that was totally unfunny.
I loved this story, it had me paying attention because it was sweet and soft. Not like how most skits involving trump are.
Dua Cirone That's because he isn't the focus if the skit.
The music was spot on as well.

not your typical snl shit...
really well written.
This touches me because i have worked in different call centers throughout my life and it is not a nice job to have or at least not easy and very bad pay specially if you do it overseas like me
Live in America, had call center job (retirement services) and it was miserable. Some reps can stand it, but for me never again. There will always be horrible people to talk with in call centers.
I don’t know why, but that was so thoughtful and profound all at the same time.
That was some solid sketch. SNL doesn't necessarily have to make comedy sketch all the time
I didn't laugh once.. I don't even know what was so funny about this skit..
Jit Su who here said it was funny?
Well ProffessorX, it's SNL, and when I used to watch, it was funny. Well those were the Chris Farley & Will Ferrell days of course.
THIS IS THE CUTEST, PUREST SKETCH IVE EVER SEEN
Very touching. The purses in the bed cracked me up, though. I have a jillion purses too.
Should I show this to my call center agents to coach them on the importance of listening...?
This guy is a natural. Best guest for a while. Truly funny.
Found this and watched this several times during my horrible call center stint.
Almost accepted a position at one...did i dodge a bullet? 😱
Yes. Just read callcentres on reddit. It took me almost 5 years to get out. Never do this!
@@dashpash 🤣👍🏽
The call center is a step up from retail or hospitality industry.. But it a scam like an Indian call center..
I did one for 2 months and it was tough
Oh nooo!! 16 lines on hold... @1:14
I love Cecily. She's awesome!
This was sort of beautiful.
I'm glad it didn't have a goofy punchline to deflate the whole thing. It ended pretty perfectly.
Red, white, and blue rage. 😂😂
MURICA
As a European kid with an Arab surname who had to spend a few years in the USA, I came to understand that "I am a US citizen!" yelled at the top of one's lungs, was always the start of an incoherent angry monologue from a dumb fuck with zero knowledge of other languages and countries.

Bully bully bully .. lol
Stop that!
:-D
Such a poignant short film. Love it.
This has become my favorite SNL film.
This episode was really good - every sketch was great - especially the nursing home one.
