Daniel Plainview's I Drink Your Milkshake - SNL

Daniel Plainview (Bill Hader) and his son H.W. Plainview (Amy Poehler) travel the country looking for the best milkshake for their Food Network show "I Drink Your Milkshake." Plainview drinks patrons' milkshakes with a long straw. [Season 33, 2008]

I love that the entirety of the joke here is just that Hader does a really good impression of Daniel Plainview

[dirtyunclehubert]

i have NOT heard SUCH a spot on impression of a voice. EVER.

[Solarstar]

Bill Hader's impersonation of Daniel Day Lewis is perfect.

[charlietheanteater]

The way Hader says “I’m an oil man” has me rolling on the floor.

It’s incredibly accurate

[bigstunna]

Bill's impression was so well done down to the facial expressions and his walk, audience didn't deserve that great performance

[Josh-hpeb]

What an underrated sketch. Although, it sounds like only 15% of the audience had seen There Will Be Blood

[abihayes]

Bill screaming "I ABANDONED MY CHILD!" killed me

[souptart]

the writers: do you wanna play a silent boy who follows his oil baron father around while saying and doing nothing and watching his old man steal people’s milkshakes
amy, putting her wig on: let’s go

[clemencec]

"I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD! I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY! I'VE - Oh, there he is." lmaoooo
by far my favorite sketch, too bad the audience never saw that movie...

[MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

Bill Hader is a genius. His impression of Daniel Plainview is spot-on just like all his impressions. He can do all the voices and he's a tremendous actor. I can't wait for the new season of Barry.

[kizzysalahuddin]

NO!! NO!!!! I ABANDONED MY CHILD!!!! I ABANDONED MY I ABANDONED MY

[Daniel_Delayne]

best part was Amy's meek, silent face.. the way she just stood there sheepishly.. cracked me up for some reason :D

[KaleLikesWaffles]

This has to be Bill Hader’s idea, he’s so big a cinephile that the audience doesn’t get it 100% haha

[mrmatio]

How is no one talking about Amy’s impression of H.W. It’s spot on.

[kubrick]

As a HUGE TWBB fan, I cannot believe I did not know about this skit until 2022. One thing is doing a great impression, another is perfectly imitating THE GREATEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD. Hader is brilliant.

[clarkb]

not only were "no country for old men" and "there will be blood" released the same year, they were filmed pretty close to each other in west texas.

[lucy]

this incredible impression went over the audiences head, clearly. completely dead and unresponsive

[Rylai_xiv]

As soon as he said "I'M AN OIL MAN" in that spot on voice, i was rolling on the floor.

[SuperCrimsonKing]

This sketch is just foreshadowing for how good of an actor Bill Hader actually turned out to be.

[trmpt]

Amy poehler was perfect she didn’t even have to do anything. I like how they literally took the line of one movie and made it funny.
