Retirement Party - Saturday Night Live

It's Mitch's last day and an office gets awkward when his secretary is forced to say something and a big secret is exposed. Aired 11/19/11

Keenan's expression of dejection when Kristen is yelling really makes the sketch for me

[hanspoker]

"I don't know if you're aware of this, but you're extremely dramatic."
"OH AM I?!?!"
"Yes."

[alliecardinal]

Lol Jason Segel’s character has a different drink every time we see him😜😂

[emmachoplin]

I feel like they combined two bad sketch ideas to make an even more confusing sketch

[AdamSharpe-ihxz]

The audiences' attempt at clapping at the end said it all about this skit. Can't be great every time.

[Knightonagreyhorse]

It feels like this sketch was written on a Monday morning.

[mihhi]

Is it weird that I can relate to the secretary? I hate being pressured to do something in front of people.

Writers:"Kristen it's Monday we need you to think of anything for a sketch:
Kristen: I can't think of anything to say!!!
Writers: "brilliant!(keep running with that!)"👍😂

[gabrielgomes]

"oh, don't make me say anything!", The continuation of "oh, don't make me sing"

[wompaxstompa]

Janelle! Janelle! Janelle!

Janelle: oh, don't make me sing

[Steve]

Writer's room late in the week: "Ok, I have an idea... we're at a retirement party... something something... Kristen does her mad lady thing... uh... there's a weird guy played by Jason...." "Well, we haven't got anything else, let's go with it." "But it doesn't go anywhere and has no jokes." "Doesn't matter."

This is what it feels like when your employer tries to con everyone into believing they are a "family."

[eggmayonnaise]

I want to but I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY! Thank you.

Nobody's dying of laughter and that's fine. Many SNL sketches fit that descriptions over its history. To me, SNL is a showcase of the players. They make it special with their acting and delivery, regardless how average the writing could be. I like this one.

[McBurnside]

Loved this sketch. Reminds me of a lot of the company functions I've had to endure.

[munaboulos]

wiig is amazing hahahah she is literally acting the way i want to act when people push me to do something

[loveevol]

Aww. This is how I felt at every family reunion. The Janelle part. Some people are super high maintenanced in the regard that no matter where they are they need to be the center of attention. And then there are people like me who wish they could be invisible at every large gathering they're forced to be apart of and HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!

[mLify]

I have been to some weird retirement parties. This is actually pretty accurate.

[jomacc]

I DON'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING!!!, Ha ha ha

[honorladone]

I could tell Mitch is one wild and crazy party animal.
