[Shaman]

"They just birded a man to death!" is the greatest line never written

[xombiesque]

**Beck getting turtled to death**
Mulaney: "We're on the phone!"

[billgatesleavingyamomshous]

“The birds got a knife, he wasn’t raised right”

[nadamoonlight]

“Oh no the birds just set a gas station on fire”
“How???”
“Sir I can’t explain-“
“Nononono you just told me that birds set a gas station on fire so you’re gonna have to explain.”

[nopenotes]

“I don’t know just kiss me”
“What? No that’s not this”
I need Kate & Mulaney in a movie together 😂😂

[bexmw]

John: what’s the emergency?
Kate: -gently whispers- birds....

[omarchandler]

“The Birds. They just BIRDED a man to death.”

[josephbeaulieu]

John saw a man dying outside and was just like: "we're on the phone"

[krisweber]

I would pay so much money to see the techs pulling on all the wires and dropping turtles and shit

[oliveuh]

the phrase “the floppy floppy things” and kate’s scream at 1:34 is being very under appreciated

[decimatedstar]

This feels like Kate is improving all her lines:
“And now the turtles have learned to fly on their own”

[A-small-amount-of-peas]

Love Kates breath on the glass at 1:17.
People who haven't seen The Birds really need to rewatch it to recognise how accurate Kates panicked noises are to Tippi Hedrens

[michellee]

John Mulaney really needs to star in a 1940s period film

[terryeubanks]

That "jerk of the year" line convinces me this whole thing was Mulaney's idea.

[Rex_Crackerz]

Beck Bennet slamming against the booth and John saying “We’re using the phone” was very under appreciated

[Unownshipper]

2:40 Kate McKinnon using a phone receiver to hold off a knife-wielding bird puppet all while desperately trying not to laugh may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[MrBrentMoore]

We need a supercut reel of everything that goes on in Reese De'What's marriage.

[hannahcroteau]

“has anyone said: shoo! get out of here, birds?” 😂

[natepasman]

The special effects were just... Unreal

[MonkeeKnucklez]

The glass-cutter / knife bit genuinely made me lol.
