It takes a skilled comedian to make something so dumb so incredibly iconic. He is everything.

[rosequartz]

I can't believe how well he captured the unbelievable hubris of the lanternfly.

[vanessaseymour]

Audience participation had me rolling. 🤣🤣 They were truly into this skit.

[Braham_the_Terror]

"I don't know what I mean I'm a bug!" was so funny lmfao

[vfran]

Love Bowen Yang! He commits 100% to any character he plays. Very entertaining!

[laalaastl]

There isn't a costume Bowen isn't willing to wear.

[clareoconnor]

How is Bowen so uniquely skilled at playing bugs? First daddy long legs, now the Danielle Lantern Fly Bregoli.

[alliedodero]

This reminds me of when Bowen played the iceberg that sank the Titanic lmao

[carloschambers]

Bowen makes losing Aidy go down a little easier. Always hilarious.

[Liv.Pearsall]

i cant wait for Bowen to considered one of the GREATS of SNL 😭✋🏼

[squishyshelli]

"Cash me outside" 😂🤣😂🤣 I heart Bowen!

[melissasaint]

"Cash me outside, sucking all your trees to death" it's like watching an old meme die and be reborn in a burst of flame🔥

[madmaximilian]

That skit had me rolling especially when the corn came out...the lantern flie said you'll hatin and I'm matin.😆😂😄🤣

[nonabliss]

What is it about Bowen that he can portray non-human objects (an iceberg and this insect) where he can capture the essence of each subject so effectively? He is a genius I think.

[thekiss]

Andrew Dismukes deserves credit tho, my man put on that ridiculous corn costume for a 5-second bit 😂

[christianzafiroglu]

This got the biggest laugh from me all show. The concept was terrific and Bowen Yang owns it, like everything else.

[brookeb]

Totally nailed that Maury/ Jenny Jones(aging myself, I know) intro tape for kids who the show sends to boot camp. Was surprised there wasn’t an ‘I don’t care I do what I want’ from Bowen.. 😅

[afizzo]

"My family's been in this country for generations - 80 of them!!" About 4 months 😂😂

[kmjc]

I knew the second they started this bit that Bowen was about to show up as the bug and they did not disappoint.

[mateoconk]

Bowen was born for this. Can’t wait to see how he grows and hope he gets more room this year.
