These close encounter skits are the best. And the fact that it's comedic storytelling and not the typical situational type of comedy makes them even more brilliant

[dhyanawinant]

Aidy and Gosling laughing make the first episode the best one .. The writing for Kate’s part describing her privates is award winning 🏆 !

[danwhitehurst]

“So I’m out there full Donald Ducking it with my fun bun and mud gun showing”
Had me rolling

[busdriver]

Kate McKinnon at her absolute best! Her delivery is perfection.

Whoever came up with and wrote these sketches is a genius.

[ComicalRealm]

The best sketches are usually the ones where everyone is losing their shit because of one person. Especially if they got the veterans losing it.

Kate’s smirk when she sees someone about to break character

[LaughBoys]

Man, extraterrestrials are fascinated by Ms. Rafferty. She’s gotta be a celebrity to them at this point.

[OmicronGaming]

Ryan Gosling loses it every time and I can’t blame him

[Gary-And-His-Demons]

You can tell Kate is having the time of her life, making people lose their crap on a live tv show. She is truly in her element, in these skits!

[fawks]

"I swear to God this little bastard's name was Shart"
I'm dead XD

[marinemccord]

As great as she is, the best part is her coworkers breaking during the whole thing 🤣

[sydthesciencekid]

“Pardon me Sharon” gets me every time 😭

[VGobaira]

Aidy kills me EVERY TIME as she delivers lines while furiously trying to hold her laughter. ❤❤

[thomascasillo]

Sketches like this and the Debbie Downer Disney world sketch are so hilarious because one person makes themselve and everyone else involved laugh. That's pure comedy gold at it's finest.

[Silkys-a-clown]

"That felt Super off the books" 😂😂😂

[alomaalber]

the cigarette makes the character, we used to do that, glad to see her going nationwide with it! real actor!

[thesprinklebox]

"My fun bun and my mud gun" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 her pants somehow get ripped off every time.

[DressMeD]

“damnit colleen you’re becoming your mother!” 😂😂😂😂 she is THE best. Kate embodies this character “and mind you i’m still rocking zero pants here so my coot coot & poop shoot are on full display!” and ryan gosling breaking … classic.

[micheleyates]

Cecily Strong is AMAZING; how she can keep a straight face through all of this is AWESOME!

[Lateralus-yfek]

The “Whaaat?!?!?” In each sketch kills me every time! 😂
