man Adam Driver brings his acting game no matter what.

I just rewatched this and I feel like Adam was just messing with Pete "look upon your father". He saw Pete breaking already and just went in for the kill.

[kmatson]

Either Adam Driver is a fantastic actor, or deep in his heart, Adam Driver is an oil Baron in his soul.

"AND SO YOU SHALL!" Never fails to make me laugh

[jimmy_the_squid]

Pete Davidson: *Breaks*
Adam Driver: *So you have chosen death*

[modesttriangle]

“I was born 7 months too early” was when I completely lost it

[Elle--lcep]

"I wanna be you when I grow up!"
"AND SO YOU SHALL!!!!"

[silverninja]

"Now your bones turn to oil beneath my living feet!"

This is my favorite line Adam Driver ever said.

[mattrank]

Adam Driver should have gotten an Emmy for this performance.

[nateconley.]

This was just 5 full minutes of Adam trying to break Pete and flexing his acting skills *hard*

[danielwilcox]

So Mordecai is the descendant of H.R. Pickens. But Mordecai is also the weakest in his class, sullying the Parnassus bloodline. Looks like it was H.R. Pickens who got the final revenge. Great lore.

[rosshillin]

"Incubation technology was still in its infancy" is a great line 😂

[laurenschulman]

“LoOk aT YOuR faThEr BOy¡!” Pete Davison almost loses it.

[TheRealRehman]

"You are weak like H R Pickens"
"Who is H R Pickens?"
"EXACTLY"

[brandonthompson]

Its almost scary how well Adam Driver can tell and carry a dramatic story on a live sketch comedy show.

[federicadoti]

Adam Driver has been the best SNL guest. He kills it every skit.

[dausas]

I want to see Adam Driver reprise his role as Abraham H. Parnassus but this time he's a chaperone for Mordecai's class field trip to (insert location)

[watson-tv]

When he stabbed the fake bird EVERYBODY broke character. That was friggen perfect!

[gabbagulag]

You honestly can’t blame Pete for nearly breaking, I would’ve passed out halfway through the sketch 😂😂

[christopherlove]

I never tire of watching this sketch. I just realised Abraham H. Parnassus says he has been an oil man for 82 years. That means, factoring in that he started at a young age but still a man, he is over 100 years old with an elementary aged child! He's a boss!
