"I wasn't even ready to show that to myself to show me that" perfectly said

[josephhoeffner]

I always love when SNL sketches have dogs because no matter what wild nonsense is happening they cut back to the dogs just being like ":D"

[robertwatson]

Cecily’s ability to play an uptight, know it all, upper middle class white woman who is freaking out on people is unparalleled.

[laney]

I work in a pet store and this is honestly so accurate there really are people like this. I was ringing a guy up the other day who was buying milkbones and the guy behind him told him he “couldn’t imagine not caring about his dogs health enough to feed it something like that”

[marleee.]

I remember watching the Blue Buffalo commercial this one is parodying and thought "wow, I've never heard of a company specifically mention how they're $0.25 cents more a day than another dog food brand" and I'm glad SNL took advantage of that

[kengeorgejones]

I think this is the same woman Cecily played in a 2014 sketch with Seth Rogen, where she slowly became hysterical about Blue River dog food. One of her best performances. She's great here too. I also found myself wondering if John talking about the dog in the cart was any kind of reference to Petunia...

[rebeccafisk]

Working at an all-natural pet store, this hit WAY TOO HARD. I’ve been there, 32 cents a day :’)

[alumpyhorse]

Cecily can transform into any character. She’s so damn brilliant. Not to mention that singing voice

[Stardust]

Whatever bag of food my dog is eating is 100% better than the Crispy Chicken Sandwich + fries & a large Coke I just scarfed down from McDonald's 😂

[globbyakaweirdjellyguy]

Makes sense that this would be a prerecorded and edited skit because Cecily’s little pug voice makes it impossible to keep a straight face.🤣
All the animals were so cute too.🥰

[batgurrl]

The animal closeups were priceless.
Everyone, he says it’s working.
We’ll go really slow😂😂

[XlittleXdrummerXgirl]

"That's why the dog can't walk!"
Me, looking over at my pug, knowing damn well that she'll walk if she HAS to but her preferred method of transport is being carried around like the princess she is:

[KindredSpirit]

As one of those people who spends more money on high quality dog food, I think this is funny. Especially because it is obviously a parody on Blue Buffalo, which had a bunch of recalls in the last year or so. Lol.

[RCAReacts]

This would be funny, if I didn't actually have someone try to do this to me at a Petsmart. Too real SNL...too real.

[justifiabledoubt]

"Subconsciously, I knew what that meant the whole time, ..." 😅
What an absolutely hilarious sketch!
And Cecily is fantastic.

[ruule]

I did not expect a Blue River sequel and I am here for it. Love Cecily in these!

[ap]

Fact that Cecily has now been in 2 blue river sketches is kind of funny

[angellacanfora]

I love how they are barely trying to conceal the fact that they are referring to Blue Buffalo pet food (which my cats refuse to eat, btw)

[ipissed]

I feed my dog the most expensive dog food in the store so that I know it is healthy enough to survive eating the cats shit.

I'm going to miss Cecily Strong so much on Saturday Night live
