I’ve always been a big fan of SNL, my housemates and I used to sit down and watch it almost every week. It’s sometimes hit or miss but there’s one skit that’s always on point. That’s the midnight matinee section, where it’s a little more high budget but never enough that it looks too good. As a fan of MST3K’s we’re barely above a public access show aesthetic, I’m a huge fan of this. I’m going to talk about a few of my favorite ones here today:

My Best Friend’s House- This one is wonderfully twisted and sold by the talent of Ariana Grande’s excellent comedy chops and vocal range. A young woman recalls the smells of her best friend’s house only to find out that the dad is a serial killer and it was all a coverup.

In a similar vein is the My Room sketch featuring Olivia Rodrigo. She sings about how great her room is only to find out that she’s in a zoo on a bug planet.

Probably my favorite one, is the Beppo sketch where John Mulaney is desperately trying to save a horrible monkey puppet named Beppo that’s in space.

I want to bring attention to these wonderful sketches even if I have to spoil them a little bit. Check them out and have a good laugh.
