“little pig boy comes from the dirt” is the funniest line to ever come out of an snl sketch

[DracoMalfoyable]

Me: *just going about my day, minding my business, living my best life*
My brain:

[joshm]

i don’t know what interpretation is better
1. this guy is just airing out his trauma during this spelling bee
2. someone else wrote these and this guy is just so dedicated to the job that he doesn’t care how weird these are and just wants to do his job as seriously as possible

[dudewhy]

The smug look on James’s face when he says “Little Pig Boy comes from the dirt” is the classiest way of trying to make Pete laugh I’ve ever seen

[addrad]

The increasing level of aggression with each repetition of “Adolescent!” Gets me every time.

[CJ-gyie]

"Little Pig Boy comes from the dirt" is the funniest thing I've heard all year!

[silvialimeme]

James Franco serious face is everything. I love how he says chagrin and snatches the replacement card for urophiliac of the judge.

[gorplsnaps]

"Well so far it's been depraved Todd"
"Ha, that sounds more like a round 3 word"
*looks in disbelief*

[omlbonnie]

You can see Pete freeze when James says little pig boy and “ little pig boy comes from the dirt”

[thereligion]

James Franco cracking made this like 10x funnier.

[noexisllanos]

"Little Pig Boy comes from the dirt"

I died

[bodenlosedosenhose]

"Little pig boy comes from the dirt" is the best thing any human has ever said.

[littleblueclovers]

“I derive sexual pleasure from being treated like a toilet: Adolescent”

[woodyworld]

"Little pig boy comes from the dirt." 😂😂😂😂😂

[mohdd]

"uh hey man, can I get a normal word"

[pigman]

"hey could I get a normal word?" "I'm just reading what's on the cards. your word is little pig boy"
I laughed so hard

[daborshy]

My favorite line: "ADOLESCENT!...what I was before I became an adult urophiliac."

[AbolfazlShirazi]

It's literally 3 A.M. and I am working on my Ph.D thesis.
My brain: "I used to be an ADOLESCENT. Now I am an adult, I am a UROPHILIAC".

[FaustinaFalcon]

how in the HELL is this not a recurring bit?

[anika.williams]

Pete being the only one who had to move the mic up is killing me💀
