“They drowned, bitch! That’s not me! That’s water! Nobody’s cancelling the ocean!” I can’t stop laughing

[zellia]

"First of all, you came to where I live and YOU hit ME"

[karenjeter]

“ Nobody is cancelling the ocean.” Best line

[celestialbreeze]

Bowen Yang is nominated for an Emmy and I'm pretty sure this is the skit that did it

[lojendu]

"They bumped into me and I said ' Oh I'm sorry', which is insane"
Oh honey, we feel you. It happens all the time

[BlushGush]

“They bumped into me, and I said ‘oh, I’m sorry, ’ which is, INSANE.” LMAO

[johnorlando]

The idea of the POV of the iceberg is genius.

[bryansimmons]

Why do I find myself coming back to this skit over and over? Literally, one of the funniest. Bowen Yang is hilarious!!!

[jordanthecoder]

"I was chilling" — underappreciated detail.

[corrina]

“You said you’d be my Oprah COLLINNN”
“I never said that—“
“WELL SOMEONE DIDUHHH”

[lizard]

Bowen killed it in this one. My favorite part was the "Irish cacophony."

"I've done a lot of reflecting to try and move past it."

Jost to Iceberg: "What was going through your head that fateful night?"

Me: "Um, the Titanic?"

[Rachel-]

“12 tracks, no skips, swear to god”

😂😂😂😂

I love all the iceberg jokes that almost fly under the radar: "There's so much more to me that you...can't see" and "I was in my home...chilling!"

[henrycogo]

I never once looked at it from the Iceberg's perspective. Thanks Bowen.

[somethingorother]

"I've done a lot of reflecting" is such an amazing low-key iceberg pun 😂

One of the reasons I love this skit so much is that the premise was so absurd and likely would have failed if they had used someone else. This was MADE for Bowen and he knocked it out of the damn park. SNL has its fair share of conceptually random absurdity sketches that, 85% of the time, end in a lot of scratched heads and "ehhh..."s. But god, when those types of skits are executed and acted flawlessly like this -- when the cast member(s) just go all-in, balls-to-the-wall, batshit crazy committed to the bit -- they are PERFECTION. That 15% of the time that they do work is nothing short of magical and this was the cream of the crop, I'm so glad I got to witness this iconic moment of SNL history

"First of all you came to where I live and you hit ME" is delivered so perfectly
