I had a daycare kid named Mark who was just like this. He was a sweetheart and almost never talked to anyone or played with the other kids. I’m sure he would have loved a well
Did anyone check to see if there was trauma going on in his family? I was like this and it was almost certainly a response to all the dysfunction. Look up the “lost child” or “invisible child” role in narcissistic, addicted or otherwise dysfunctional family systems and this pretty much nails it.
i was this kid(metaphoracly) and YEs he would have i mena i didn't ALWAYS want to be by my self but i also was perfectly fine hangign out under one spesific tree at recess
@weedman I loooove (/s) how people say this like it’s more on kids like this than it is on the indoctrinated little brats who would “whoop his ass.” Those kids’ parents have a lot more reckoning to do with themselves than this one’s. It’s wild that some people think it’s more excusable for a kid to be a violent shithead than to be sensitive.
this is one of my favorite snl sketches of all time because, i shit you not, once had “a well for the backyard” on my christmas list when i (15 M) was like 8 for this *exact* reason. i also was crying one time when i was little and tried doing that thing disney princess do (when they laying face down on their bed crying into their arms) and then sat up after a few seconds and thought “how to they breathe???” and just cried normally.
This crying Disney princess style thing is way too relatable - I tried it as a little girl and was like “well great, now there’s snot and tears on my arms AND I’m sad”
I did something similar. When a boy I liked moved away, I promised myself (like an Emily Bronte character) I would write him everyday because I would miss him that much. I was 22.
In all honesty this skit hit me in the feels. I felt it. Like I, a 22 year old dude, would LOVE to have that. And plus, the line “this ONE thing is for him” line is iconic
a lot of my childhood felt like me waiting to be taken seriously as an adult now I realize that adults are a lot like children who are only kept in check by financial responsibilities.
The audience was not picking up on it which I thought was a shame, although I do hear the one person laughing in cool recognition of what’s to come right when the skit begins
@@carlosmillan7933 but that movie has a tons of sex scenes, like jfc i was 16 when i watched it and felt like soft core porn at times, tho Diego Luna and Gael Garcia were so hot in it
The reason why she said "a secret", is because that's what Snow White said in the 1937 original by Disney. The well is a parody about a lonely person and the comfort from sharing secrets with a wishing well. I found it creatively Hilarious!
Funny thing is I don’t think of myself as a sensitive person but I so did that as a kid. I was nervous around other people a lot and I wasn’t sure about them. I I had thoughts plenty but I really wasn’t that unsociable either.
That last part where his mom defends him is so good! I know a bunch of people have mentioned it, but it really is a powerful things for us kids who "just sort of waited for adulthood". I always wanted a Barbie, but the truth is, I just really wanted someone to defend me.
So much great writing in this sketch. Dad calls the boy, multiple times, no answer. Mom almost whispers, "Spencer?" Kid immediately answers, "Yes, mom?" And they just leave it hanging.
@Rosa Bethany Iglarsh Well, he seems to be typing himself to her, and she's allowing it. Whether that's right or not is up to you. As for yelling at the normal kid, he's in entitled, or at the very least she sees him that well. I feel like she had some bottled up feelings she was letting out on him.
Nope. It's seafoam mint, a pastel shade of green. Because mint green is soothing without presupposing one's gender. That's why they deliberately did NOT make it blue.
i can't believe how accurate this was for me, especially the "they're gonna blossom into a wonderful, successful creative life, but they're just not ready yet". i remember at one point my nanny told my mom "why does she think so much" after seeing me constantly just stare at the walls in pondering in my childhood.
I was a lot like that kid. Being a sensitive kid is not fun as you are very introspective and not nearly as outgoing as a lot of other more well socialized kids. But, you can then laugh at things like this. My mom bought me a typewriter (this was in the 80's) so I could type up my feelings. it helped. People thought I was sad but I was not. I was just introspective and an introvert. I thought a lot about everything to the point of being overwhelmed. I am happy kids like this are now more understood.
I tend bar so all I do is talk. Of course, it's part of my job. But people think I'm such a natural, funny conversationalist. I don't know how that happened cos when I was a kid, I rarely spoke. That's why I agree with you that the joke of the sketch resonates with those of us who were quiet kids.
Moynihan’s quick look of both sad disappointment and calm understanding in 2 seconds and one action at around 1:01 has me laughing so hard “Yeah, he won’t be a football player, but yeahhh, he’s going to be ok”
me too! ...and a big furry hat like on the colbert late night show..."now that this hat is upon mine head whatever i say is now and forever law" ... and maybe a scepter too while were at it...
Yup. This was most definitely based off of my childhood. Some SNL writer saw me on the street and turned me into a sketch. And now I really want a well. So thanks a lot.
Umair Farooq an Alfonso Cuaron movie about coming of age teenagers that have a confusing bromance...? It's pretty sexual though, I definitely don't think a kid should be watching that lol
I wanted a set of toy dishes and got them, but I'll never forget my father saying "Let's hope he outgrows this" as I left the living room. I didn't outgrow it.
You're very fortunate. Whenever I asked my parents for something like, say, My Little Pony, my mother rolled her eyes in disgust and my father started cursing and telling me to "Quit prancing around my goddamned house!"
When I was younger, I really wanted to have a cook toy station, so my parents brought me one for Xmas. To counterbalance it, my aunt and uncle brought me a builder kit. Never played it more than 5 minutes.
Omg I was the weird kid who would sit in the clearing in the back garden and pretend the forgetmenots were the only ones who truly understood me. I'm glad I can laugh at this now. Thanks snl #stayathome
@@kiva822 honestly, being a kid that also waited around for adulthood due to undiagnosed childhood depression, at 31 im chillin. still kinda passively just waiting to die but i got a good paying job, a shit ton of friends who love me, and eat regularly so its like cool i guess. still wallow around the house in my edwardian nightgown tho and pretend to be residing in a decaying french chateau spared by the revolution so yeah, still a little weird.
I sat in the back yard being very sweet & demure waiting for the little birds to fly down, sit on my shoulders, and sing for me. And that was just last summer.
I think this is also gentle humor about how sensitive kids, especially sensitive boys, tend to be mama's boys who have more of a connection to their mothers then the world at large.
"everything is for you" is more correct and nobody but Mom will put up with neurotic assholes like us. Thankfully now there are cell phones to stare into all day instead.
Annie Stop Talking well he did use it as slang so really he can spell it what ever way he wants. Don't let words like that trigger you; just go about your business like you usually do. Unless of course correcting grammatical errors is your thing then by all means!
Wow...that's really what you got out of this. You know, 70% of the things we are "didgusted" about in life is only because that's how we perceive it. Quit looking for conspiracies.
I feel like this boy and the girl from the My Little Stepchildren skit could get along. Like those two kids in the back of the playground who don’t really hang out with anyone but each other.
i feel bad that whenever i see the kid who was in the first change of name office sketch (ruclips.net/video/nv6FMEvNiWo/видео.html) in other SNL sketches, i automatically think "it's holden tudiks!"
This sketch actually helped me to reconnect with my inner child and remember what was important for me in childhood. Also it's great humor and it's made with love ❤
I agree with that... not to get on a high horse, but it does feel like I expected all adults to be well rounded and striving to be good people... but it's just not the case. Many adults are still living as if they hadn't developed a sense of identity or self-awareness and it's frightening.
I watched Braveheart when I was 5 and animal house when I was 4. Were they the TV version? Hell no. My dad is awesome for that and my brother and I played with GIJoes based on WW2. This was back in the day when no one got offended or use the victim hood card all the time.
Could you imagine how many straight-up childfree adults would just have one in the far corner of their bedrooms? Like imagine how many millions of adults would have these versus only tens of thousands of kids.
I was a little girl, but I look sad and thoughtful in most of my childhood pictures. My first memory is leaning against a bus window, crying, while raindrops traced rivulets on the glass. I definitely would have appreciated the well. My mom appreciated her weird little kid and never tried to make me be more "normal". I'm so grateful.
“Some kids like to play, others just sort of wait for adulthood”
This was my childhood summed up in a sentence.
Same. Especially since I stopped getting invited to Birthday Parties after 2nd grade, and I lived in a very rural area that nobody wanted to go to.
Man me too.
Still Ill that line hit me like a brick, isn’t this supposed to be comedy, why am I crying? Why do I feel so seen?
I’m 13 and I act like a 7 year old so I’m kinda the opposite I guess....
Yeah, I just waited.
I wasted it but it's not so much to waste honestly

Hey yeah, me too. I was that kid. Sort of.
Amazingly true comment this is. In many ways in fact, kids can be better, more civil, and more logical than adults. It's strange.
Kind of like a Joe Rogan standup bit I saw years ago where he said, "the older you get, the more you realize there are no adults."
wow I completely agree with that Joe Rogen quote. immature fucks everywhere.
The haunting, ethereal music really seals the epic-ness of the sketch.
Like the movie A.I.

OMG YES!!!! I didn’t even think about them💀💀😫🙌😭😭🤣
OMG this is soooo spot on, I needed this as a child, and yes I'm a full time artist now.
but are you... uhm... you know... ?
ilya Kozlov Does it matter, but no I love yoga pants and fuck me boots. lol
what do you mean by "you know"?
you love yoga pants and fuck me boots and at the same time ur saying ur not.. hmm... ok... playing the ambigious card there... ok ok
i see. i get it now. sorry mate.
the dad's face when she says "a secret" is the best part
Yeah. And he was flipping air, not burgers. He was so lost in worry and confusion about Spencer.
So much pain in that face ! Like "I know it's not bad to be gay, but does he have to be THAT gay ?!"
That went from dark, to weird, to beautiful, to inspiring. The last part really drove the point home. Loved it.
Quiet kids don't need wells. They need supportive moms like Spencer's.
Sometimes Mom has to work…… give me The WELL DAD!!!!
A well is nice too
This is a truly masterful skit. It is not funny, it's very profound and it touched my heart
"You have everything......everything is for you....." I died!😂
I’m watching Marriage Story on Netflix, and I’m like, “That’s the ‘Wells for Boys’ kid!!”
i feel bad that whenever i see the kid who was in the first change of name office sketch (ruclips.net/video/nv6FMEvNiWo/видео.html) in other SNL sketches, i automatically think "it's holden tudiks!"
why do i want one of those balconies so bad
I just imagined someone performing the end of Let It Go on it

When you want to look down with disdain on the small minded people who shun your uniqueness.
that Y Tu Mama Tambien shoutout though
shoutout? or callout?
Daniel The Maniel screamin (like if you got it)
Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who got that.
Sammy Pierce disguised as no homo bromance material :D
I'm Mexican, and I never liked that movie.
This sketch actually helped me to reconnect with my inner child and remember what was important for me in childhood.
Also it's great humor and it's made with love ❤
As a somebody who was a "sensitive boy" I'm thinking
"why didn't they have this when I was a kid?" ☹️
SAME :D
Colin Same! Even though I'm female.
Well is not for girls jennifer.....
Saaame
Colin sensitive boi
"Do you want to go watch 'Y Tu Mama Tambien?' Yeah?" Haha, I love everything about this and for sure know a few kiddos like Spencer.
This is so perfect. The writing, the acting, the directing, art direction -- every single element. So damn perfect. Thank you!
I just love "vicious mama defending her son" Emma Stone
My childhood was basically waiting for adulthood and now that I’m an adult, I see that most people never matured mentally and I feel trapped.
I agree with that... not to get on a high horse, but it does feel like I expected all adults to be well rounded and striving to be good people... but it's just not the case. Many adults are still living as if they hadn't developed a sense of identity or self-awareness and it's frightening.

“Do you want to go watch Y Tu Mama Tambien?”
Holy hell, how did that make it into the sketch?? That movie is super inappropriate 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
That’s the idea
That's the joke lol
oh that's what she said? lmao that movie is too sexy
I watched Braveheart when I was 5 and animal house when I was 4. Were they the TV version? Hell no. My dad is awesome for that and my brother and I played with GIJoes based on WW2. This was back in the day when no one got offended or use the victim hood card all the time.
When he looked into the mirror I absolutely lost it.😂😭 I definitely did that as a child.
I'm 24 and I need this for Christmas!
i definitely did the whole 'refuse to acknowledge anyone yelling at me' routine when i was a lad
Were your parents pissed?
@@sloanewalker42 oh yeah, teachers too. that may have been the point who knows. i was/am very stubborn
Oh my god, I swear to god, my fiancé must have had this as a toy in his childhood. I'm laughing so hard at how perfect this is
I'm in tears. One of the best things I have ever seen. Hands down.
I love in all these toy commercials it’s the mom that’s just as invested in the drama of it all.
that would have been AWESOME growing up. I would have staged so many dramatic scenes or just gone full snow white. I love it
Ok but why didn't I get this for Christmas as a kid???
Because it is not for you, because you have everything and that thing is for him
Love Cecily doing the voice over! This commercial is so well done
Ok, but what about Wells for Men in Their Mid-20s? I suppose I could just go buy an actual well, but I can't afford that and I want this.
You can drive to the beach or r sit in your car for a while.
If anyone actually wants to do this, those electric pump water fountains are pretty fantastic
@chester rockwell *Why do you sublime your reply like that.*
Could you imagine how many straight-up childfree adults would just have one in the far corner of their bedrooms? Like imagine how many millions of adults would have these versus only tens of thousands of kids.
Julio Torres wrote this one for SNL. I looked it up after seeing him on Late Night with Seth Meyers recently. Julio Torres is some kind of genius.
Can fisher price like ACTUALLY make that please, I’m 14 years old and I WOULD buy that 😂
How about a 16th century mansion in Normandy or a castle in Bavaria?
bruh same i also want the balcony so bad
I got my foot in the threshold of 30 and the other on a banana peel, and i need this toy lol
And now Fisher Price announces … Wells For Sensitive Grown-up Men
I need that balcony right now. As an adult. I'd wake up so dramatically every day... you don't even know. :D
Oh my God. Best sketch I've seen in 10 years. Marvelous. I'm bursting with gratitude and delight.
I never had this toy growing up as a kid.
Oh well.
Bobby's face when she says "a secret"
I love how supportive she is of him!
I was a little girl, but I look sad and thoughtful in most of my childhood pictures. My first memory is leaning against a bus window, crying, while raindrops traced rivulets on the glass. I definitely would have appreciated the well.
My mom appreciated her weird little kid and never tried to make me be more "normal". I'm so grateful.
