"I'm looking forward to having some real TALK...with some real FOLKS."

A modern classic.

[BlackDiamond]

This is why starkiller base got destroyed. He did not fix the calcinator.

[Devoted__]

“I’m about 90% sure that Matt is Kylo Ren”

*strategically tells Matt, a.k.a. Kylo Ren his sad story*

[adamwade]

"Oh no, he's choking on food"
I freaking lost it here

[JakeVanderPloeg]

We need a “Matt the radar technician” skin in Battlefront 2

[sawyertilley]

"Lemme go see if i can find it"
*1.5 seconds later"
"Hey i found it"

[GrippeeTV]

“I haven’t had my MUFFIN yet MATT.” The delivery KILLED me dude 😂

[josiahbahuaud]

“Oh no, he’s choking on food.” kills me every single time. 😂😂😂

[tomross]

"dude Matt straight up sucks" has always been my favorite starwars line

[lilchey]

“He said he’s SHREDDED”
yes, my friend, you didn’t see Kylo in the shower, you saw Ben Swolo

[konstance]

I love the little laughs at "Sorry about that" and "Really struck a nerve with me" because the audience all knows what's coming just by the character and the delivery. But we still die laughing at "especially since I'm the one that killed him." This skit is a masterclass in comedy.

I love how committed Adam is as Kylo, even in a parody

[aries]

I love the idea of a random guy leaving a room for all of 3 seconds and coming back with a sith lord's lightsaber and saying look at it

[ExemplarKyle]

"Dude, Matt straight up *sucks.* "  This is one of the best SNL skits of all time.

[megaunderflow]

Kylo actually is a very impressive boss. He carried not only The First Order, but the entire Sequel Trilogy on his back.

[Sorrus-Blyfe]

“I ran into Kylo Ren in the bathroom”… That line always gets me. 😂🤣🧙‍♂️👍

[tenkenroo]

I like how Adam driver commits to the role even when he is a comedy sketch

[Unity]

I love how he's staying in character while staying in character

[caiorezei]

People usually go to Marriage Story when they exemplify Adam Driver's incredible acting skills. And even though we all know he was by far the best part of the sequels, there's no doubt in my mind that _this_ is what really shows how great an actor he is. He can bring a character so dramatic and torn to a whole different genre without losing anything from his near-perfect physical and emotional performance while still being comedic, the exact opposite of the original portrayal.
That simple thumbs up is so well thought and performed to be Kylo's attempt at social skills. What an actor.

Kylo Ren is such a great boss, he reunited Zach with his son.
