Will Forte is rightfully acclaimed for this sketch, but Chris Parnell deserves props for being a terrific straight man to Forte’s antics!

The way he pauses on his like 8th "Q", looks up like he's trying to remember, then throws in a few more Q's... I'm dead😂😂

[marstamars]

The funniest part of this is that he got far enough that their are only two chairs left.

Me telling my friends the WiFi password

[KingoftheJuice]

It's so sad; he was off by just one Q.

[hungwilliam]

I expected Tenacious D even less than the Spanish Inquisition.

[Iampatrix]

If he'd made it to the next round his next word would have probably been "little pig boy".

[filippomusenga]

will forte is superhuman. 1.10 min just saying consonants in a monotonous tone, i was in tears. how many people can do this and be entertaining? amazing talent

[jesse]

I was not expecting the whole Jack Black song at the end. Just brilliant.

[bobs]

I need a Will Forte ASMR of him reading the alphabets

[dkrom]

A Will Forte classic. With some Tenacious D thrown in for good measure.

[crashburn]

I'm here because someone at the grocery store had this as their ringtone. Standing in line at the checkout I just started cracking up and no one knew why.

[KKAkuoku]

Why can’t every SNL skit be as deliciousy oblique as this?

[SnazzySazerac]

I’m really sad he didn’t throw a number in there

[StamfordBridge]

When Jack Black revealed little Daniel was him all along, I was devastated. Emotionally harrowing stuff.

Business - What my father did for a living when I was an adolescent before I became an adult urophiliac. Business.

will forte captures the vibe of a strange quiet child so perfectly

[HatunTashDCCIMinistries]

👀Me looking at how much time is left in the video so I can know how long he can keep spelling.

[ryankurtz]

The best part for me is Chris Parnell's dead pan reaction.
He looks down at his paper, looks up and says "Wrong."

I'm getting flashbacks to my 3rd grade spelling bee failure...
Moderator: The word is "awkward."
Me: "Awkward." AQUERD.
Moderator: Incorrect
Me, to my dad: Was it the Q?
Dad: Among other things, yes.
