Most people don't fully appreciate that a big part of performing comedic sketches is being able to do it without cracking up. Kattan was a master of never breaking character, no matter how far off the deep end he went.

i think it's quite hard to sound so incomprehensible on purpose, but he's doing a great job
the body language & intonation is very well done too, this is exactly how a very self confident teacher looks & sounds like 
hilarious skit 

[clothilde]

He sounds like every platform announcement ever in my local train station. I swear they practise to get that incomprehensible.

[importpappa]

I love it when he throws in a few words that are understandable, and then immediately returns to the jibberish. Brilliant.

[Saybleu]

This room is filled with one of the most brilliant cast's ever. They are all a gift to SNL's history.

[sonapucci]

He sounds like a doctor’s handwriting 😀

[orawal]

what a CHARACTER!! Chris Kattan is a genius!!! Brilliant!
He even writes like he speaks! LMAO

[Dan__W]

"And I can't stress this enough- uhwweddeddeduhdee." 😆

[MrDogfish]

Him erasing and correcting a small detail on his chalkboard scribble was brilliant.

[Actionx]

I used the “little pop keez” line on my students. They never got it but I got a good laugh looking at their faces when I did it. Never got old. 😂

[anooseholay]

I’m still blown away by how good that backwards drawn question mark was!

[viviannichols]

“What is the test on?”
“I don’t know, pumpkins?”

🤣🤣🤣

[hasp]

Chriss Kattan is a virtuous actor! Honestly, watched him in this, Mr Peebers, Zimmerman and a few more, he's just underrated in my opinion. This was hilarious!

[mmille]

I didn't see this until I was out of school, but I laughed so hard when I saw him writing on the chalkboard, and "correcting" it. It was like the way some of my teachers scrawled. I couldn't read their writing sometimes.

[djsingh]

Lol. I wish I had this teacher in school. I would go to school everyday for the entertainment.

[rhiannon]

My brother and I used to try to imitate him. I love Chris Kattan!

[jameshurtado]

The best part was when he randomly jabbered incoherently into the recorder

[sto]

Love when he records himself and laughs in amusement.

"Seventeen O Ray, Peter arra, during his a ship, at the time but up, what it ba did it pop, calls them on deck get some more, and I can't stress this enough, a wino wana nee." -Teacher Suel.
