"Dude, I don't care how crazy I am, this a pineapple" love her delivery on that

[drewstanley]

Kate McKinnon’s role in this had me dead! This was so funny! Breaking her accent and just straight up like “dis a pineapple!” HAHAHA

[ethanahmu]

I love how Reese De’What pronounces his last name a little louder each appearance.

[Mskittenlover]

The way they even Photoshopped Kate and Will's faces on the poster 😂

[zacharywinograd]

The fact that they were able to recreate the costumes from the film is absolutely amazing

[thomasrosebrough]

For people who don't know: that actually is the origin of the phrase! Gaslighting really does come from the film "Gaslight" which this is parodying.

[arthurdurham]

This is equally parody and a pretty accurate paraphrasing of the movie

[oscarwaterman]

I love all of Keenan's presenter characters. He and Bill Hader really know how to set a sketch

[bellaminna]

Will's "Ohhhh..my cuckoo darling" line set up to what I knew would be another adorably ridiculous cinema classic with Kate.

[TheMrgoodboy]

Kate is exceptionally good here. I cannot stop watching her saying "That was up?.. because to me that was not up!". Perfect delivery !

[lisa]

“Can’t believe you told me it was 9 inches and I said ‘Oh, lucky me’”. “IT IS!!!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Funniest part of the skit. Every woman’s been there Paula. We’ve all been gaslit

[eddiethecurler]

I can't believe "...and I'm afraid its membrane as well" didn't get a bigger laugh. 😄

[laalaastl]

SNL is gaslighting you into believing this is a parody. It's actually the real thing!

[NickChiuco]

That audible "Oh my God" from the audience when he kissed the 18-year old maid. 😂

[DimIsHigh]

Will Forte sneaking a Cypress Hill reference in this sketch is pure gold

[mkfd]

Kate McKinnon’s Ingrid Bergman never gets old… her Casablanca portrayal is HILARIOUS!!

[stephify]

It's tragic to think that most people watching this have no idea how perfect Chloe Fineman's portrayal of Angela Lansbury is here. Its like she's the only one of the three to have actually seen the film.

[stoptorturingme]

Reese dewhat never showed us his wife but i automatically visualize leslie jones's livid face whenever he talks about his marriage

[madelyng]

This looks like a good movie! Can’t wait to see its sequels, Gatekeep & Girlboss.

[gabrielagagodasilva]

Loooove the character building on Reese De'WHAT, he and his wife have been a part of my life for years now LOL
