The SNL sketch where the entire earthquake coverage is derailed because every single person trapped in the collapsed Social Security building was there to legally change their name.
Donald McRonald trying to become a Johnson, Mark Peanus, Holden Tudiks (who went alone because he thought his parents would be mad), A. Hitler “hailed as a hero,” Dr. Donna Diddadog, Julia N who insists her last name is pronounced like “cigar,” and the anchor is just Carol Kumdungeon the whole time.
The absolute best part is Kate McKinnon’s anchor getting called out for every single earthquake pun and just calmly going “Yes.” No defense, no apology, pure shamelessness. And Pete Davidson as the firefighter completely loses it in the background at Holden Tudiks like he wasn’t even supposed to be in the sketch.
This is the kind of stupid that only works because everyone committed so hard to playing it completely straight.
april ludgate describing government work: “doing the bare minimum is doing your part.”
somewhere, millions of employees just sat up straight and whispered, “finally, a politician who understands me.” 💀
then leslie knope shows up with enough enthusiasm to make an entire department look productive just by entering the building.
one woman treats public service like a paid nap. the other would organize a committee to celebrate the nap.
honestly, that’s the most realistic government documentary i’ve ever seen.
