Why are all of John Mulaney’s SNL sketches fever dreams.

[awesomemcawesomeshorts]

Kenan's "who am I" at the beginning KILLED me

[-AdamTheGreat-]

When John says “who’s this guy?” And it cuts to Pete cracking… so hilarious

[amberw]

This feels like an improv skit that got out of hand in a musical theatre class

[rosericorico]

Crew: *emotionally sings about not wanting to killing a lobster*
Pete in the background:" *and now its time to get funky* "

[clairebun]

I like how Pete immediately lost his shit when it got to the musical.

[spacemanproletariat]

Fun fact: John Mulaney desperately and repeatedly pitched this sketch as a writer and they never let him do it, so when he came back as a host, he just whipped it out out of a spite

[bradlebanon]

Kenans emotional delivery of "who am I?" At 2:12 almost breaks Mulaney lol

[queenava]

You just know John wrote this one...for gods sakes just let this high waisted man live out his musical theatre dreams, all he wants to do is sing...

[ashleymcgrady]

I’m still mad the name Clawsette didn’t get a bigger laugh.

[cynthiazhang]

John & Kennan almost breaks at 2:13
Kate & Kennan almost breaks at 3:03
Cecily almost breaks at 3:53
Pete almost breaks at 1:52 & 1:56
Pete completely breaks at 1:35

I love this so much

[joewong]

Pete Davidson's "I won my lawsuit against Bumble for getting zero matches" is the surprise quote that gets funnier with each passing year.

[allyd]

2:07 Mulaney is FEELING it
2:13 Mulaney almost breaks
2:16 BACK in character

[Concetta]

“This diner has incredible set design.” This is Monty Python worthy.

[avak]

The way John says “Who’s this guy?” just kills me. 😂

[virashrienaikare]

When Pete breaks it looks like he's the only person in the diner thinking, "this isn't normal"

[ghostlyamy]

and to think that when john wrote this skit initially back as a writer, they DIDN'T USE IT

[kyleolsen]

The most unrealistic thing about this is that the diner has an A from the health department.

[spookystela]

John Mulaney is a truly weird soul and I love him and this

[manazon]

Kenan Thompson is the heart of SNL and a national treasure. HE MUST BE PRESERVED.
