how in the world does ellen look older here - in 2001 - than now, in 2016????!!!!

[tawnyahettwer]

The sketch writer obviously had some unresolved issues.

[zerobatsu]

I love the premise that the kids are totally grown adults.

[loisann]

This skit is sad, bcs it's true many times. How difficult to join a family when the children long for their parents to be together.

[l.christinejones]

the girlfriend dodged a bullet leaving that house of lunatics 😂

[rivkajoan]

After seeing this, I had to go watch a documentary on the heroin epidemic just lighten the mood

[bossds]

For about five seconds I thought Seth Myers was Ben stiller

[jonathanludwig]

So this is how she learned how to treat her employees

[bardicpearl]

As a child of divorced parents I can state this sketch is 100% accurate.

[percyperanamus]

ellen's character here is too genuinely distressed looking for this to really be funny

[brianarbenz]

I met two stepmothers in the years after my parents' divorce, and I liked them both very much. My father was the problem, not either of them.

[Matt-frfu]

the son: That isn't mom!
THERE IS 1 IMPOSTOR AMONG US

[rhyuuenalexei]

I feel bad for Ellen's character.

[wildtacos]

as the son of divorced parents I appreciate and find this hilarious and makes me reflect on how cruel I was towards my parents new partners

[dharmallars]

Love Amy and Seth they're a great duo love to hear them scream at each other and/or other people

[PureEnragement]

I feel incredibly bad for Nancy, especially after they burned her gifts.

[coldsuncrowfeet]

you can tell the audience did not like how will's character turned on ellen's character. it made me sad too

[mikealexander]

It's funny, until you're the new person in the situation. Then it's just true

[karanshah]

That was plain horrible. Feel sorry for Ellen's character in the skit. SNL was supposed to make me laugh. I expected a funny Will Ferrel skit.

[kaelie]

This video made me want to cry... not laugh.
