@PrincesaSae what's right is acknowledging she's talented regardless if she's latina, Asian , or any other race or gender or designation people prefer. That's how you move forward and lift people up. Not rooting for a team let's you do that.
@sael2I’m a native speaker but since I grew up in the US and get anxiety from time to time I get overwhelmed when sometimes people who speak Spanish speak sooooo fast lol
The brilliance of this sketch is that the dialogue in Spanish has to be familiar enough so that non-Spanish speakers can still understand the jokes. Mikey killed it with the super-gringo Spanish 201 accent and vocabulario. The sketch with Marcelo and Pedro Pascal is gold -- I hope this is a recurring bit with all the Latine hosts.
Hispanic means that you/your family come from a country that speaks Spanish (culture), and Latino that you come from Latin America (Mexico, Central & South America and the Caribbean). Hispanic denotes culture and Latino geography. A Brazilian is Latino but not Hispanic, a Mexican is both Latino and Hispanic and a Spaniard is only Hispanic.
It is cool, but it is also how having a job at SNL works. But that doesn’t necessarily make it less of an achievement, like not everyone gets their comedy bits made into skits at SNL.
This is how it often works. Things like Dana Carvey's chopping broccoli, Will Ferrell's Harry Caray, Kristen Wiig's target lady all came from material they had pre-SNL.
I'm pretty sure this sketch was actually based off a stand up set by Marcello Hernández about him schooling his Spanish teacher when he was younger just like this. Super cool that they let him have this level of input and super funny sketch!
@K E It is 99% identical to Marcello's bit on his stand-up about this exact same thing. So he definitely wrote this. ruclips.net/video/QNq7dMa5Vvg/video.html
I love how now that Marcelo is on the show, we get a lot more Spanish content, especially when the host is also Latino/a. I just wish they had done it more too when Melissa Villaseñor was a cast member, or at least more exploration of her Hispanic culture in skits.
@Mr_Archer15 Good question! I believe she can but not fluently. Maybe a lack of confidence in that area contributed to less skits of that nature. Still super under-utilized as a cast member though, and it would've been nice to have more skits where she got to explore her Latina culture. Legit the only one I can think of rn was the one she did w Selena Gomez.
@Mr_Archer15 the girl is from whittier and she's 2nd or third Gen. She speaks a little and she's learning, per a stand up routine of hers I saw wheres she's talking g about her abuelita.
According to one of her stand-up sets, Melissa Villasenor's Spanish isn't that good. She knows enough to understand her mom, but not the rest of her family, who are Mexican and only know Mexican Spanish.
English is my first language. Taking Spanish class in America was very much like taking the class in this video. The teachers mean well, but there's a whole side of culture and complexity in Spanish that they totally miss. Loved seeing these three let their culture shine in this sketch!
I agree with you, I’m a teacher, that is Black and Puerto Rican, who teaches film, but this is why we have to have more teachers of colors in the classroom to represent and teach our cultures correctly! Loved this so great to watch!
It just depends on the school and districts standards... Every Spanish teacher I had growing up either was Hispanic or lived in a Spanish speaking country for a significant amount of time. They would bring in souvenirs from their travels, cook us traditional food, and could not only speak fluently to the Spanish students, but often *corrected* them on their speaking and, more frequently, their writing. For reference, I grew up in central Indiana.
I started learning Spanish independently of school during the pandemic as a middle schooler. Fast forward a couple of years, and I’m a couple of years ahead of most students taking Spanish classes, and I can tell that our school definitely has better teachers than most districts, since basically all of our language teachers have lived for prolonged periods of time in the country of origin for their selected language, but even then, I can still notice issues in the way my fellow white second language Spanish-speakers, the teachers specifically, speak, mostly revolving around z and s not being pronounced the same way, the letter r being pronounced by the uvula, etc.
research Hispanic countries as oppose to Latin ones?.. and you'll get a better notion as to why all of them have the Spanish language in common but not necessarily the same slang!
Repent to Jesus Christ “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV Y
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 the devil is the enemy? God is the one who is a serial mass murderer all throughout the bible. What a stupid religion. Maybe stop randomly posting your fear-mongering religion in videos that have nothing to do with it.
I never thought I'd see a Colombian singer, a Dominican, and a Cuban all on one SNL skit. I am loving the representation SNL is giving. Thank you!!!! Love this skit too, so funny :D
They did such a good job with showing how Spanish is taught in America. I was able to understand all the gringo Spanish with my 4 years of high school Spanish, and about 2 words total when Marcello and Ana were speaking. Glad those 4 years of my life weren't a total waste 😅
@corvus2512 Yeah, what MacSultana said. It's a slang term used to refer to white people with bad Spanish accents. It's sometimes used in a derogatory way to essentially call someone a yankee who can't speak Spanish well
@hayleyleiberman8491 oh okay, I knew gringo meant white so I just thought maybe it was in reference to Spain, a nation of white people speaking Spanish versus all the people they colonized speaking Spanish if that makes sense.
@corvus2512 Oh yeah, I can totally understand how that could be the meaning behind it! To be fair, perhaps in other countries that is what that means? I just learned the definition when one of my spanish teachers told the whole class to 'stop having gringo accents' and then she had to explain it to us bc we had no idea 😅
My friend say why would he say I am Gino from Roma when he come from Milano... or the bit in that sketch when Graham Chapman stands up wearing the lederhosen and asks Terry Jones in perfect German where he could find the German language class.
I love it when in 3:16 you see Marcello's lips mouthing Ana's line. Marcello's Spanish contribution to the sketches is so refreshing. Probably one of the best recent additions to the SNL cast. Much love from Fiji!
Speaking as someone who has sat in a classroom while a teacher butchers my language to the point of not being able to understand them, I got a sick thrill out of watching Mikey get upset and scared.
Now you know how Americans feel when we hear immigrants butcher the shit out of our language. We get a sick thrill out of watching you struggle too. Turnabout is fair play, yes? If you can say it, I can too.
Funniest thing is still Cheek’s song Mexican American: Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school. And they take Spanish and get a B. 😂 I was a Spanish minor and lot of friends and classmates who were Hispanic got B and Cs and I’m like dude your fluent how you not passing 😂
@Brian Shockley I saw that too in my Spanish classes in high school. It's because feeling a language in your soul does not mean that you know that language on an academic level. Like conjugating some of the lesser used verb tenses, like the subjuntivo pretérito pluscuamperfecto, or even knowing what those terms mean. I do lots of language exchanges, and I get questions all the time that stump me, because I've never had to think about how XY&Z work in English. For example, I had some guy ask me about verbal phrases. My initial response was, "What the heck is a verbal phrase?" Then you also have to consider dialectual differences. Native speaker or not, you gotta study the vocab list. For example, in my Spanish 1 class, we learned that doll=muñeca. Except no one says that. All the native speakers got it wrong on the test.
@laurao3274 "feeling a language in your soul does not mean you understand it on an academic level" reminds me of the jokes about native-english speakers failing english class. im sure the same could be said for other art forms (bc language truly is art), like cooking or dancing. there will always be a more "structured" side with rules and terms you dont quite understand if youre used to only doing these "from the heart"
@brianshockley6429 it is humorous at first, but it’s useful to know that a lot of Latinx parents are immigrants to the USA, so their children know Spanish just by speaking and listening, but they never take classes to understand the WHY of Spanish structure. They are not in schools where they are reading Spanish materials or writing in Spanish (American education system, where English is the dominant language in a school), and access to Spanish books for children in the US is hard. Also, many immigrant parents want their kids to focus on English. I had a Mexican girl in my AP Spanish class and she could speak and listen, but it was humiliating for her because she could not read a word to save her life or write, and I can empathize with her that the situation made her feel detached from her roots or ashamed… Think about it from your perspective as a native English speaker studying a foreign language. The PASSIVE skills (listening and reading) might be easier for you because you usually learn Spanish grammar and pronunciation first. The ACTIVE skills to produce the language (speaking and writing) are harder for you because you did not grow up surrounded by the language input to need to use it. Everybody has different levels of speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Also, you can be a native speaker and still not know all the complexities of your language. We learned English as kids and we didn’t need books to be able to speak or listen, so basically, the rules are “intuitive” to us, but we cannot explain WHY some things are the way they are. For goodness sakes, many people say “I of eaten” instead of “I have eaten”, mix up their homophones, and can’t use the right pronouns (he vs him). The SAT also proves that we do not know a lot of vocabulary outside of standard everyday use. If you know the European levels of language (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2), most native speakers cannot score a C2.
This is absolutely hilarious.... When I was in high school we had a man named mr. Williams trying to teach us Spanish... But all of us were Hispanic and grew up in households that only spoke Spanish... I swear I got A's on some of my papers because he couldn't understand what they even said LOL
It is very hard to think and speak at the same speed/tempo of a native language speaker. I know some high-school German, but can't translate native speakers in 'real time' like a normal conversation. I would have to ask them to please slow down their conversation and maybe I could get most of what they'd say. (But I could listen to some Latinas read a box of cereal all day, never mind look at them :) ).
@carmelapelaez2700 my Grandparents on my mom's side are from Mexico ... On my Dad's side my grandfather is Irish and Grandmother Mexican American.... I have his last name.... Can't judge by last names ... I know PLENTY of people with Spanish last names can't even understand a single word of Spanish... Most of my friends and their families grew up speaking Spanish as well.
I'll never understand why they teach stock phrases in foreign languages classes in the U.S. that no-one uses in real life. just like "asi asi," no-one ever says "comme si comme ça" in french
@romariorodriguez3797 yes people absolutely say that. It is a matter of generation. It s not a Gen Z expression but not akward either. Also there are regions in France where it is more or less used .
Yes, it's adding much needed representation and diversity to the cast and the sketches. And it's always fun when the cast members share their culture in a comedic way.
German is a beast to takle. Beside the regional dialects there is also a destinct way of moving your mouth per region. Whenever I hear a fellow native german speaker, I love to guess where they are comming from.
Lol when I was in middle school back in the early 2010s, there was a girl in my Spanish class who didn't even know much English. Her family only ever spoke Spanish. They also happened to live in the same apartment complex as me so I knew who the whole family was. I literally did not understand why she was in that class. I assume her English is better all these years later. She was just starting to learn then.
@Mskittenlover12 in high school, I have no idea why they do it, but they do. Maybe they just walked their classes to do better on standardized testing so that the schools get more money. At the college level, heritage speakers who take 100 level are really just trying to get an easy a. Most heritage speakers who grew up speaking it, as long as they are not passive bilinguals, easily learn how to spell it and where the accents go. There is no reason for them to start at a basic level
@Mskittenlover12 Hey maybe she was still learning, just in a different way than the rest of the class. Like, when looking at the book show Spanish words and their English equivalents, perhaps while the rest of the class is learning new words in column A and referencing column B to see what it means, she's looking at column B to learn new words and referencing column A to see what it means. Know what I mean?
I would have loved to have a classmate in my class who could have helped me. My teacher was from Puerto Rico and talked very fast, made it hard to learn. Thank God for Kid Frost!
Taking Spanish in high school felt like this but I only had one teacher where I was like ummm are you sure you're qualified to be teaching this level??
1:40 ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Hugo says, *"My favorite food is grilled chicken with rice and beans and sweet plantains, just like my grandmother used to make.Plantains add a sweet flavor to a well-salted dish."* _Mi comida favorita es un pollo a la plancha con arroz y frijol y platáno maduro, como lo hacía mi abuela. Los platános le dan un sabor dulce a un plato bien salado._ 2:35 ENGLISH TRANSLATION: María says, *"My favorite food is a ropa vieja, with tamales, with tostones. For dessert, a Durofrío, a mamey smoothie, just in case, the mamoncillos, I love them, because they are like a mix between a lychee and a spicy lime and a little sweet too. They are so so rich. TRUE?"* _Mi comida favorita es una ropa vieja, con tamales, con tostones. De postre un Durofrío, batido de mamey, por si acaso, los mamoncillos, me encantan, porque son como una mezcla entre un lychee y una lima picante y poquito dulces también. Son tan tan ricos. Verdad?_
I had to look up "Durofrío". Apparently, it is homemade ice cream. "Ropa Vieja" is a Cuban dish with meat and vegetables. "Tostones" are fried plantains. And "tamales" are meat pies.
@MsJanetWood The mamey sapote, is a species of tree native to Mexico and Central America. The tree is also cultivated in the Caribbean. Its fruit is eaten in many Latin American countries. The fruit is made into foods such as milkshakes and ice cream. Melicoccus bijugatus is a fruit-bearing tree in the soapberry family Sapindaceae, native or naturalized across the New World tropics including South and Central America, and parts of the Caribbean. Its stone-bearing fruits are edible. It is also called Bajan ackee, genip, guinep, genipe, ginepa, kenèp, quenepa, quenepe, quenette, chenet, skinup, talpa jocote, mamón, limoncillo, canepa, skinip, kenepa, kinnip, huaya, or mamoncillo. Lychee is a monotypic taxon and the sole member in the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical tree native to South China. A tall evergreen tree, it bears small fleshy sweet fruits. The outside of the fruit is a pink-red, rough-textured soft shell.
As a middle school teacher, I can relate. The key is not pretending to be the source of all knowledge, but admitting u don’t know everything, supporting students on their own journeys and being a curious learner yourself.
I agree. This skit is fun, but kind of unfair to teachers. Most of the students wouldn't have a beginning without them. Sometimes you need someone who's speaking your language to start with.
@lukeeleavittPlease don't be rude. Apparently you are not aware, but people should be treated with kindness. Maybe you should look inward instead of lashing out at other people. Just a thought....
Yo soy cubana, y los entendí perfectamente 😂. Los cubanos hablamos muy rápido, tengo amigos mexicanos y de otros países de habla hispana, que a veces no me entienden, dicen que hablo muy rápido 😂.
Lol this takes me back to high school. My Canadian Spanish teacher convinced me to take her class even though I had just moved to Canada, ended up giving me Spanish novels and asking me to write essays to separate me from the class so I stop correcting her 😂. She still gave me a 97 instead of 100
my Spanish teacher in HS was Cuban, she was my favorite teacher cuz she'd deadass spend 20 minutes with us going through the book she was forced to teach us telling us how it was wrong and no one talked like that or pointing out the differences in different Spanish speaking cultures so that we knew when it was Spain Spanish the book was teaching us or Mexican or Guatemalan or Cuban etc... because the book just cobbled together a bunch of words from different countries
Thank you so much for this bcus I learned "Asi ASI" in school and I'm just like.... what? What do you mean it's wrong??? This really puts it into perspective
I am a huge Marcello fan, and so thrilled he is bringing so much to SNL. I know he had this exact experience in his own HS. However, the real comedy gold here is Mikey Day! I'm laughing outloud! OMG, "I'm sweating a bit", "Uh-oh!", "That was a leeetle fast por me" "Yummy!", "I heard rice in there somewhere...", and you can see even Marcello is cracking up at Mikey's responses! Great ending with the dance. Hope we get many more like these.
I'm lucky, my darling stepmom is from Colombia, so I've been improving quite well on my high school Spanish - though the word I use most often with her is "despacio!" 😄 You're so right, Marcello is super talented, versatile, and funny as hell. He grew up in Tamiami, half an hour from my home in South Miami, FL. It's always been a delight to hear his accent among so many others as I've grown up. Miami is excitingly cosmopolitan thanks to the influx of Latinos and their "energía." 😂😂
My white spanish teacher would've school him as she was a pro in grammatical errors in 7 different languages. I remembered my friend who was cuban tried this on her and she wrote literally EVERYTHING he said down and we were all amazed at how quick her wrist was. She pointed out like 12 different grammar mistakes and and said "fast doesn't mean accurate. The faster you speak, the more grammar mistakes you make" And she did the same back in english, speaking fast, and had him write everything down, he only got the first sentence, humbled him the F down lol This was back in 2004, spanish level 4.
I'm from Cuba and we are just like that! Our accent is pretty much impossible to understand if you don't know our idioms or if you are not used to the speed. But It's very fun and joyful and the video portraits that perfectly. I love it when I see these types of representations of my country
I once had a Cuban co-worker. For the record, I am Puerto Rican. At the club we worked, we'd speak in super fast Spanish. Our other co-workers and the customers would be all _y'all speak so fast!_
@pikachuhutch234 They know English too. It's not an issue of not understanding English, it's touching to him/her to see Spanish being made more visible.
This actually happened to Marcelo when he went to college. It’s one of his bits from his stand up comedy. So funny. Glad SNL writers used it. And I’m sure he had so much directive input! So proud of our hometown Miami boy!!!!
Don't count on it. Liberals are racist in a different way where don't really hate Hispanics they just ignore them like hell. Took them 40 years to hire a Latina!!
@skxlter5747that is absolutely not true cubans aren’t represented at all if u think we are give me some examples because i’m cuban myself and the only one people know about is scarface which the main actor wasn’t even CUBAN
It’s so insane to hear words like “mamoncillo, duro frío, batido de Mamey, etc” in freaking SNL 🤯 as a Cuban this is like peak representation, blew my mind 😭😭
The SNL writer are killing this season best sketch of the night seeing Marcello ,and Anas De Armas speaking Spanish as Spanish students was so fun ,and brilliant😂👏🏽👏🏽.
I'm a Dutchmen who grew up in Germany, and when I moved to the Netherlands, I was that annoying student who always corrected our German language teacher.
Gotta love how Ana explains the way cubans say “I’m in love”. As a mexican I’ve never in my life said “estoy enamorado”, just “estoy empelotado” or “estoy ganchado” lol spanish is difficult because of how we never use the standard spanish and slang is so common in every hispanic country.
@JorgeEscobedo-pz5yf Mexico City, empelotado used to be slang back in the 90’s, not everyone knows the meaning tho, so don’t worry if a lot of people don’t get it
As a Korean who’s living in México now, this clip makes me laugh a lot every time I watch it. I’m struggling with learning spanish now, and Señor Macintosh is kind of a button to laugh jajajajaja
@rayarena879 he is from Miami though and the Cuban culture is dominant here. Specially the talk lol I hear the Cuban more than the Dominican when he speaks spanish
Lord Rama dude, you need some serious help. You're spreading white supremacist tropes in a comment about an SNL skit. Something went horribly wrong with your life. There's still hope for you but you need to seek help now.
The fact that I’m taking Spanish classes right now makes this even funnier! My teacher is Puerto Rican and she be telling me all the things the Spanish books got wrong 🤣
To be fair, Puerto Rican Spanish is a very distinct dialect. Depending on your book, you're probably learning either Mexican Spanish or Spanish from Spain.
I suppose it’s similar to when I was in Ireland. My friend was dating a gal from Spain. She could talk with him and the others, but had a very difficult time understanding me. It dawned on me that they likely learn the king’s English. The other part I found interesting is one night she had a Chilean acquaintance over. After he left she explained how she had a tough time talking with him due to the language differences. I asked her a bit about it and she said that even within Spain there is a considerable regional language difference, to the point that she had a difficult time communicating with people from other areas. As an English speaker I find that fascinating. Although English may very slightly from region to country, it doesn’t seem that drastic. On the other hand, Spanish seems to very wildly even in one country and certainly to another.
Oh no, en La Habana la mayoría también se comen las S al hablar, así que la pronunciación también es correcta para Cuba, sobre todo para el occidente del país.
This is exactly how I describe my Spanish degree to people: Imagine a foreigner learning English from 19th century poetry and grammar textbooks and then having a conversation with you. I've definitely been Mikey more times than I care to admit 😂
The sets are set up all over the room at different angles, so sometimes the audience's view is blocked depending where they are seated, but there are stationary monitors hanging from the ceiling, so everyone can always see everything.
im a teacher of english and i use this to those students who get frustrated for not reach the native level, is very hard, so i play this video, shows backwards spanish english
One of the best sketches I’ve ever seen in my life - and I am from Germany. My wife is from Peru so i am in some Spanish to communicate without big problems but Maria was a little bit difficult to understand all she said with food. I watch this clip repeatedly to enjoy this so much. This is so much Fun. The other one I love is George Washington with weights and measures 😂
Lol I am a native Spanish teacher and when I went to a new high school, my students were surprised because my accent was really "Spanish" not like their other teachers. I taught them how to gradually understand Spanish when spoken naturally fast lol and the principal told me I spoke too fast even though my students understood.
Every Spanish teacher’s worst nightmare… and every student’s reality. 😂
Except that a native speaker would never be admitted to an introductory level. At Uni students are given a placement tests.
@sunnyb7228 Oh boy. I'd fail intentionally 🤪
Who is the girl who came at the end? Someone else famous?
@amber619popMega Famous. Karol G
@amber619popthe cuban girl? Yes shes a famous cuban actress
When your teacher is A2 level
I think maybe is A1😂
He teaches thanks to his degree on Duolingo.
May be A0 😅
Yeah, I believe he is A0 cause he just knows a word here and there.
@ajeykulwe call that A1.1
And this is why we need more Latino hosts
Yes 🙌🏻
How about just funny talented people.
@harrisone79 both things are possible, Harrison...
Pedro’s Spanish was hilarious and super relatable as 1st generation immigrant
@PrincesaSae what's right is acknowledging she's talented regardless if she's latina, Asian , or any other race or gender or designation people prefer. That's how you move forward and lift people up. Not rooting for a team let's you do that.
As we now know 'Soy milk' is just Spanish milk introducing itself.
Hola milk. Soy Padre.
😅😅
Soy chorizo 😂😂😂
Mucho gusto en conocerte Milk
😂😂😂
Mikey nailed the uncomfortable awkwardness 😂
he is SO GOOd at playing up cringe/awkward moments. Reminded me of that dating game show skit they did years ago with Regina King!
I have seen colleagues experience this when they place a heritage speaker who "never took it before" in their classes 😅
It's giving "pop that beanie back on" energy.
His specialty!
He's so good that you can actually watch his soul leave his body as he dies inside.
“Estoy kidding” made me lose it 😂
Hahaa that’s when I lost it too
😂😂
He didn’t even conjugate it correctly. Estaba kidding.
I use to laugh at gringos in Spanish class. So hilarious.
@BaraAnne So then that would make it OK to laugh at 'beaners' in English class, right?
As a mexican who studied on the US, this is sooo accurate. Btw, I love Ana speaking on her cuban accent about tostones and batido de mamey
I could listen to ADA speak all day
And the Miami girl snapping action when she wasn't getting called on 😅
Yes, Mikey Day trying to say ARROZZZ is legit all of us gringos :D
Only time we will ever hear someone say “ropa vieja” and “mamoncillo” in SNL I guess
I’ve never tried any of these dishes but they sound so good!!!
I love how the subtitles guy just gave up on this skit
I love when Mikey Day plays the flustered, overwhelmed guy. 😂😂
He definitely took over the role from Beck Bennett without any difficulty.
i love it when Mikey day
Mikey day is quickly rising to the top of SNL. I love everything he’s in. Marcelo is going to be huge too.
Pop that beanie back on is all I can hear when he's in this type of role😅
Like everytime. Every. Time.
I'm a Spanish teacher, and I think this was fuego. XD
I am a native Spanish speaker and I can understand how difficult it is to learn it there. Xd
@sael2I’m a native speaker but since I grew up in the US and get anxiety from time to time I get overwhelmed when sometimes people who speak Spanish speak sooooo fast lol
Like a true Venezolano am I right my brother?????💪
me causa gracia que digan fuego, caliente en cada frase los "americans" cuando hablan españolo
Qué chucha weón 😭
The teacher went on to make Emilia Pérez 😂
HAHAA
LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂
Jajajaaj thats a good one😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Cuban accent is like going to learn English at a school in a lost village of Scotland, hahahah
Chilean accent is the final boss
@jarobanoChilean is Singaporean English, or if you got lost in the Shetland islands, UK
Well your secretary of state is Cuban Américan so keep making fun of latín Accent
me encanta el acento cubano 😍
@JeayGonzalez He doesn't even speak Spanish because he's scared the Republican voters would realise he's not white
The brilliance of this sketch is that the dialogue in Spanish has to be familiar enough so that non-Spanish speakers can still understand the jokes. Mikey killed it with the super-gringo Spanish 201 accent and vocabulario. The sketch with Marcelo and Pedro Pascal is gold -- I hope this is a recurring bit with all the Latine hosts.
Latino or Hispanic. Latine is contradictory to Spanish language. ‘Latine’ is something people made up in the US.
Please don't butcher Spanish by saying dumb shit like "Latine" or even worse, "Latinx".
I'm sure you mean well, but only Gringos say Latine.
@NathanLGrossman or Latinx
Hispanic means that you/your family come from a country that speaks Spanish (culture), and Latino that you come from Latin America (Mexico, Central & South America and the Caribbean). Hispanic denotes culture and Latino geography. A Brazilian is Latino but not Hispanic, a Mexican is both Latino and Hispanic and a Spaniard is only Hispanic.
They literally MADE A SKIT from one of Marcello's COMEDY BIT. That mad respect right there 👏 🙌
i was looking for a comment that said this! he even said the same thing for his fav food as he said in his comedy bit!
What Marcelo? 😏
It is cool, but it is also how having a job at SNL works. But that doesn’t necessarily make it less of an achievement, like not everyone gets their comedy bits made into skits at SNL.
I was just thinking this lol
This is how it often works. Things like Dana Carvey's chopping broccoli, Will Ferrell's Harry Caray, Kristen Wiig's target lady all came from material they had pre-SNL.
I'm pretty sure this sketch was actually based off a stand up set by Marcello Hernández about him schooling his Spanish teacher when he was younger just like this. Super cool that they let him have this level of input and super funny sketch!
? It’s very hard to come up with skits. If anything they were like “please let’s do your skit”
@K E It is 99% identical to Marcello's bit on his stand-up about this exact same thing. So he definitely wrote this. ruclips.net/video/QNq7dMa5Vvg/video.html
@goombapizza6335 bingo
Had the same experience 😂
I had a brutal time changing schools every 3-4 mos. Different countries. Couldnt please anyone.
1:52 that when I’m bored in class 🙏🏿😭 I just start to do it
I love how now that Marcelo is on the show, we get a lot more Spanish content, especially when the host is also Latino/a. I just wish they had done it more too when Melissa Villaseñor was a cast member, or at least more exploration of her Hispanic culture in skits.
She's so talented but wasn't given the right roles to shine in.
Could she speak Spanish? I am aware she’s Latina but never knew if she could speak Spanish
@Mr_Archer15 Good question! I believe she can but not fluently. Maybe a lack of confidence in that area contributed to less skits of that nature. Still super under-utilized as a cast member though, and it would've been nice to have more skits where she got to explore her Latina culture. Legit the only one I can think of rn was the one she did w Selena Gomez.
@Mr_Archer15 the girl is from whittier and she's 2nd or third Gen. She speaks a little and she's learning, per a stand up routine of hers I saw wheres she's talking g about her abuelita.
According to one of her stand-up sets, Melissa Villasenor's Spanish isn't that good. She knows enough to understand her mom, but not the rest of her family, who are Mexican and only know Mexican Spanish.
English is my first language. Taking Spanish class in America was very much like taking the class in this video. The teachers mean well, but there's a whole side of culture and complexity in Spanish that they totally miss. Loved seeing these three let their culture shine in this sketch!
I agree with you, I’m a teacher, that is Black and Puerto Rican, who teaches film, but this is why we have to have more teachers of colors in the classroom to represent and teach our cultures correctly! Loved this so great to watch!
@ashleybrajae5676 White people can't speak Spanish? Spain is in Europe. Most people from Argentina are white.
It just depends on the school and districts standards...
Every Spanish teacher I had growing up either was Hispanic or lived in a Spanish speaking country for a significant amount of time. They would bring in souvenirs from their travels, cook us traditional food, and could not only speak fluently to the Spanish students, but often *corrected* them on their speaking and, more frequently, their writing.
For reference, I grew up in central Indiana.
I started learning Spanish independently of school during the pandemic as a middle schooler. Fast forward a couple of years, and I’m a couple of years ahead of most students taking Spanish classes, and I can tell that our school definitely has better teachers than most districts, since basically all of our language teachers have lived for prolonged periods of time in the country of origin for their selected language, but even then, I can still notice issues in the way my fellow white second language Spanish-speakers, the teachers specifically, speak, mostly revolving around z and s not being pronounced the same way, the letter r being pronounced by the uvula, etc.
research Hispanic countries as oppose to Latin ones?.. and you'll get a better notion as to why all of them have the Spanish language in common but not necessarily the same slang!
If only my Spanish classes were this interesting
Gotta love Ana’s commitment to her native language
Repent to Jesus Christ “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV
Y
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 the devil is the enemy? God is the one who is a serial mass murderer all throughout the bible. What a stupid religion. Maybe stop randomly posting your fear-mongering religion in videos that have nothing to do with it.
Lots of love for everyone then. Isn't almost everyone committed to their native language? XD
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 No
@nickaschenbecker9882 what other languages can you speak?
"Tan, tan, tan ricouuuus"
2:52
I always find it so funny when an American has trouble pronouncing Spanish correctly
I never thought I'd see a Colombian singer, a Dominican, and a Cuban all on one SNL skit. I am loving the representation SNL is giving. Thank you!!!!
Love this skit too, so funny :D
✨️unidad✨️ 😂
Me too it was awesome.
So so good! 🥰🥰🥰
Just a tiny note: Marcello is Dominicano (padre) y Cubano (madre).
@vickitickitori Oh dang! I thought Marcello was just Dominican! He's such a cutie!
Didn't realize he's half Cuban too! :D
As a Colombian I was so proud.
They did such a good job with showing how Spanish is taught in America. I was able to understand all the gringo Spanish with my 4 years of high school Spanish, and about 2 words total when Marcello and Ana were speaking. Glad those 4 years of my life weren't a total waste 😅
@jimgravesus Thank you, Einstein!
What is gringo Spanish? Like Spanish from Spain?
@corvus2512 Yeah, what MacSultana said. It's a slang term used to refer to white people with bad Spanish accents. It's sometimes used in a derogatory way to essentially call someone a yankee who can't speak Spanish well
@hayleyleiberman8491 oh okay, I knew gringo meant white so I just thought maybe it was in reference to Spain, a nation of white people speaking Spanish versus all the people they colonized speaking Spanish if that makes sense.
@corvus2512 Oh yeah, I can totally understand how that could be the meaning behind it! To be fair, perhaps in other countries that is what that means? I just learned the definition when one of my spanish teachers told the whole class to 'stop having gringo accents' and then she had to explain it to us bc we had no idea 😅
This is absolutely hilarious. This reminds me of a Monty Python sketch where the British Instructor is teaching Italian to a room full of Italians.
Not as good but still funny
@Randomuzahh007 Better.
All sketch comedy takes inspiration from MP.
@Wayzor_ It's true what you say!!
My friend say why would he say I am Gino from Roma when he come from Milano... or the bit in that sketch when Graham Chapman stands up wearing the lederhosen and asks Terry Jones in perfect German where he could find the German language class.
My Spanish teacher call the accent Americano😂😂😂
Petition to get Ana de Armas & Marcello Hernandez in a Spanish speak movie together; or any movie together
Or just give Ana de Armas all movies
or married, just kidding
Chill 😂 it’s just a sketch
oh stop
Um, why?
I love it when he uses his Spanish in the skits, so funny and unexpected
Mikey's Spanish?
Who?
@soccerzz5 The "kid," I assume. And I agree.
😂 I agree and his facial expressions are pure comedic guld! He is my favourite current SNL cast member.😂
reminds me of my brothers
This is a perfect example of the difference between speaking a language and speaking a culture 🤣💜
I really like that! Might have to use it sometime. Thank you!!
English speakers can say the same about Latinos/Latinas that 'speak' English. Fucking hypocrites.
Speaking a culture?
I don't speak mexicano...
Wait... Actually I do!
A huevo jijos de su pinshi madre!!!!!
Excelente y maravilloso comentario.
I mean, the teacher doesn't speak the language either
Why is the teacher that one tiktoker? 😂 0:10
Rudy mancuso?
Omg I know who you’re talking abouttt
@ENHYPEN-k6nwho 😭
@cassiesayshi8174msChang I think
Same hair
I love it when in 3:16 you see Marcello's lips mouthing Ana's line. Marcello's Spanish contribution to the sketches is so refreshing. Probably one of the best recent additions to the SNL cast. Much love from Fiji!
Funnylooking, no quality there, YET!! I think he'll make it though!!
@toddmiller243 I think he's absolutely hilarious, he's contributed some brilliant sketches
He sucks!!
@toddmiller243lol ok troll. If you think he sucks why do you watch these videos. Stop spewing negativity into the world, we already have enough of it
@jandm4ever716:) I’m glad that you said it.
Speaking as someone who has sat in a classroom while a teacher butchers my language to the point of not being able to understand them, I got a sick thrill out of watching Mikey get upset and scared.
Now you know how Americans feel when we hear immigrants butcher the shit out of our language. We get a sick thrill out of watching you struggle too.
Turnabout is fair play, yes? If you can say it, I can too.
Funniest thing is still Cheek’s song Mexican American: Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school. And they take Spanish and get a B. 😂
I was a Spanish minor and lot of friends and classmates who were Hispanic got B and Cs and I’m like dude your fluent how you not passing 😂
@Brian Shockley I saw that too in my Spanish classes in high school. It's because feeling a language in your soul does not mean that you know that language on an academic level. Like conjugating some of the lesser used verb tenses, like the subjuntivo pretérito pluscuamperfecto, or even knowing what those terms mean.
I do lots of language exchanges, and I get questions all the time that stump me, because I've never had to think about how XY&Z work in English. For example, I had some guy ask me about verbal phrases. My initial response was, "What the heck is a verbal phrase?"
Then you also have to consider dialectual differences. Native speaker or not, you gotta study the vocab list. For example, in my Spanish 1 class, we learned that doll=muñeca. Except no one says that. All the native speakers got it wrong on the test.
@laurao3274 "feeling a language in your soul does not mean you understand it on an academic level" reminds me of the jokes about native-english speakers failing english class. im sure the same could be said for other art forms (bc language truly is art), like cooking or dancing. there will always be a more "structured" side with rules and terms you dont quite understand if youre used to only doing these "from the heart"
@brianshockley6429 it is humorous at first, but it’s useful to know that a lot of Latinx parents are immigrants to the USA, so their children know Spanish just by speaking and listening, but they never take classes to understand the WHY of Spanish structure. They are not in schools where they are reading Spanish materials or writing in Spanish (American education system, where English is the dominant language in a school), and access to Spanish books for children in the US is hard. Also, many immigrant parents want their kids to focus on English. I had a Mexican girl in my AP Spanish class and she could speak and listen, but it was humiliating for her because she could not read a word to save her life or write, and I can empathize with her that the situation made her feel detached from her roots or ashamed…
Think about it from your perspective as a native English speaker studying a foreign language. The PASSIVE skills (listening and reading) might be easier for you because you usually learn Spanish grammar and pronunciation first. The ACTIVE skills to produce the language (speaking and writing) are harder for you because you did not grow up surrounded by the language input to need to use it. Everybody has different levels of speaking, writing, listening, and reading.
Also, you can be a native speaker and still not know all the complexities of your language. We learned English as kids and we didn’t need books to be able to speak or listen, so basically, the rules are “intuitive” to us, but we cannot explain WHY some things are the way they are. For goodness sakes, many people say “I of eaten” instead of “I have eaten”, mix up their homophones, and can’t use the right pronouns (he vs him). The SAT also proves that we do not know a lot of vocabulary outside of standard everyday use. If you know the European levels of language (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2), most native speakers cannot score a C2.
1:06 I'm dead at that voice 💀
Me sonó como a Jim Carrey jajajaj😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏
Yeah, me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's my favourite part of the sketch
A little fast hahaha
Sounded like Trump to me ahahhaha
Just the way he said "Uh oh!". That got to me good LOL!! 🤣
Como cubano se siente increible escucharlos hablar con el acento que nos representa
This is absolutely hilarious.... When I was in high school we had a man named mr. Williams trying to teach us Spanish... But all of us were Hispanic and grew up in households that only spoke Spanish... I swear I got A's on some of my papers because he couldn't understand what they even said LOL
It is very hard to think and speak at the same speed/tempo of a native language speaker. I know some high-school German, but can't translate native speakers in 'real time' like a normal conversation. I would have to ask them to please slow down their conversation and maybe I could get most of what they'd say. (But I could listen to some Latinas read a box of cereal all day, never mind look at them :) ).
@Nicholas TV
Scammer
Don´t you think something is missing in a history which a "Dustin Kelly" grew up in a households that only spoke Spanish?
@carmelapelaez2700 ????
@carmelapelaez2700 my Grandparents on my mom's side are from Mexico ... On my Dad's side my grandfather is Irish and Grandmother Mexican American.... I have his last name.... Can't judge by last names ... I know PLENTY of people with Spanish last names can't even understand a single word of Spanish... Most of my friends and their families grew up speaking Spanish as well.
As a cuban, it’s so exciting for me to see Ana talking about things I relate to
Somos, dos, Lore.
As an American, it's exciting to see Ana. lol
Cuban in Florida does not count.
@glennjenkins7907 dude, I was born, and I still live in Cuba, shut up
@spngaa cuba is not a country.
ana de armas snapping at the teacher to answer her killed me 😭
that´s what we do to ask for ´permission to speak in the classroom-
I'll never understand why they teach stock phrases in foreign languages classes in the U.S. that no-one uses in real life. just like "asi asi," no-one ever says "comme si comme ça" in french
True
Wait, no one says comme si comme ça in french? I thought my french was good
@romariorodriguez3797 yes people absolutely say that. It is a matter of generation. It s not a Gen Z expression but not akward either. Also there are regions in France where it is more or less used .
To be fair, "así así" or "así asa" is a pretty common phrase in Spain spanish
I believe a better one would be 'mas o menos', more or less, kind of...
Love the Latino era in SNL 👏🏽
Same here! I want more Spanish speaking hosts. Marcello has been amazing.
Yes, it's adding much needed representation and diversity to the cast and the sketches. And it's always fun when the cast members share their culture in a comedic way.
this year alone we had Ana de Armas, Pedro Pascal, Jenna Ortega, and Aubrey Plaza
@ajkelvin Jenna Ortega and Aubrey Plaza are Latina?
@daniellederer293 Si Señor
30 year retired German teacher here. Hilarious! Any time a native speaker was in my class I asked for them to offer me suggestions AFTER class!😉
Why would you have native speakers in your class? Shouldn't they be in another class?
@ exactly! Principal ordered it and I had no say!
German is a beast to takle. Beside the regional dialects there is also a destinct way of moving your mouth per region.
Whenever I hear a fellow native german speaker, I love to guess where they are comming from.
This is how my Spanish teacher felt while I was in class . I just needed a language credit . 😂
They should have placed you higher or waived the requirement 😅
Lol when I was in middle school back in the early 2010s, there was a girl in my Spanish class who didn't even know much English. Her family only ever spoke Spanish. They also happened to live in the same apartment complex as me so I knew who the whole family was. I literally did not understand why she was in that class. I assume her English is better all these years later. She was just starting to learn then.
@Mskittenlover12 in high school, I have no idea why they do it, but they do. Maybe they just walked their classes to do better on standardized testing so that the schools get more money. At the college level, heritage speakers who take 100 level are really just trying to get an easy a. Most heritage speakers who grew up speaking it, as long as they are not passive bilinguals, easily learn how to spell it and where the accents go. There is no reason for them to start at a basic level
@Mskittenlover12 Hey maybe she was still learning, just in a different way than the rest of the class. Like, when looking at the book show Spanish words and their English equivalents, perhaps while the rest of the class is learning new words in column A and referencing column B to see what it means, she's looking at column B to learn new words and referencing column A to see what it means. Know what I mean?
I would have loved to have a classmate in my class who could have helped me. My teacher was from Puerto Rico and talked very fast, made it hard to learn. Thank God for Kid Frost!
Taking Spanish in high school felt like this but I only had one teacher where I was like ummm are you sure you're qualified to be teaching this level??
the “estoy kidding” gets me everytime 😭😭😭
Love how she does the Cuban accent perfectly I forget she’s Cuban some times I’ve lost my accent over time 😭
I came so young that i lost mine & developed a American accent
Vamos seguí hablando español y no perderás el acento cubano vamos
You want to learn Miami Cuban accent then watch Scarface 👌👌
“Miami Cuban accent.” I didn’t even know that was an accent 😂
Why don't the Cubans pronounce "S"s at the end of words? Did France control the island for a period of time?
1:40 ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Hugo says, *"My favorite food is grilled chicken with rice and beans and sweet plantains, just like my grandmother used to make.Plantains add a sweet flavor to a well-salted dish."* _Mi comida favorita es un pollo a la plancha con arroz y frijol y platáno maduro, como lo hacía mi abuela. Los platános le dan un sabor dulce a un plato bien salado._
2:35 ENGLISH TRANSLATION: María says, *"My favorite food is a ropa vieja, with tamales, with tostones. For dessert, a Durofrío, a mamey smoothie, just in case, the mamoncillos, I love them, because they are like a mix between a lychee and a spicy lime and a little sweet too. They are so so rich. TRUE?"* _Mi comida favorita es una ropa vieja, con tamales, con tostones. De postre un Durofrío, batido de mamey, por si acaso, los mamoncillos, me encantan, porque son como una mezcla entre un lychee y una lima picante y poquito dulces también. Son tan tan ricos. Verdad?_
I had to look up "Durofrío". Apparently, it is homemade ice cream. "Ropa Vieja" is a Cuban dish with meat and vegetables. "Tostones" are fried plantains. And "tamales" are meat pies.
@MsJanetWood The mamey sapote, is a species of tree native to Mexico and Central America. The tree is also cultivated in the Caribbean. Its fruit is eaten in many Latin American countries. The fruit is made into foods such as milkshakes and ice cream.
Melicoccus bijugatus is a fruit-bearing tree in the soapberry family Sapindaceae, native or naturalized across the New World tropics including South and Central America, and parts of the Caribbean. Its stone-bearing fruits are edible. It is also called Bajan ackee, genip, guinep, genipe, ginepa, kenèp, quenepa, quenepe, quenette, chenet, skinup, talpa jocote, mamón, limoncillo, canepa, skinip, kenepa, kinnip, huaya, or mamoncillo.
Lychee is a monotypic taxon and the sole member in the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical tree native to South China. A tall evergreen tree, it bears small fleshy sweet fruits. The outside of the fruit is a pink-red, rough-textured soft shell.
This is the way.
They gonna think ropa vieja means old clothes yo. That would be similar to shredded beef 😂
Thanks guys! It’s nice to learn :)
1:47 I burst out laugh in this part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a middle school teacher, I can relate. The key is not pretending to be the source of all knowledge, but admitting u don’t know everything, supporting students on their own journeys and being a curious learner yourself.
I agree. This skit is fun, but kind of unfair to teachers. Most of the students wouldn't have a beginning without them. Sometimes you need someone who's speaking your language to start with.
nerd
@lukeeleavittPlease don't be rude. Apparently you are not aware, but people should be treated with kindness. Maybe you should look inward instead of lashing out at other people. Just a thought....
@layla2115 nerd
@lukeeleavitt didn't your mom give you enough attention?
As soon as he said "uh oh" I knew it was over 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Eeeeyyyummmmyyy!!” 😂
Right!! 😂😂
Soon as they walked in, you had to suspect! lol
😂😂😂😂😂
they’re both speaking spanish with a cuban accent. as a cuban person, it’s rough even for me to understand it😭
I have zero issues understanding any of the West Indian Hispanic accents.
Está bien, no tengo problemas porque soy oriunda de Puerto Rico.
Yo soy cubana, y los entendí perfectamente 😂. Los cubanos hablamos muy rápido, tengo amigos mexicanos y de otros países de habla hispana, que a veces no me entienden, dicen que hablo muy rápido 😂.
Ño, los Americanos te han infiltrado jajajaja
You must be Cuban American 😂
Somehow I doubt you're Cuban then lol.
Lol this takes me back to high school. My Canadian Spanish teacher convinced me to take her class even though I had just moved to Canada, ended up giving me Spanish novels and asking me to write essays to separate me from the class so I stop correcting her 😂. She still gave me a 97 instead of 100
Michael Longfellow dances exactly how you imagine Michael Longfellow would dance, and I appreciate that.
That's what I was gonna say
Best part
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught that
What, very white, but at least trying?
No melanin 😹😹😹
That sarcastic "yummy!!!!" Was funny big time! 😂😂😂
Look up sarcastic in the dictionary please
@josephsedano9897
Hush up please
Yeah, this wasn't sarcasm. It was funny, though.
my Spanish teacher in HS was Cuban, she was my favorite teacher cuz she'd deadass spend 20 minutes with us going through the book she was forced to teach us telling us how it was wrong and no one talked like that or pointing out the differences in different Spanish speaking cultures so that we knew when it was Spain Spanish the book was teaching us or Mexican or Guatemalan or Cuban etc... because the book just cobbled together a bunch of words from different countries
Ella le dice: "En mi país no se dice 'así-así'...". Supongo que en Cuba no se usa, pero en España sí.
@CommenterFreeman en la mayoria de latinoamerica se dice "mas o menos" a esa seña de mano or "so so" como dicen ellos.
My Spanish teacher, also from Cuba, did the same thing for us.
She also taught me “Mierda”, which now cracks me up.
Thank you so much for this bcus I learned "Asi ASI" in school and I'm just like.... what? What do you mean it's wrong??? This really puts it into perspective
Cuban older lady teachers are the best, they have such a funny blunt manner while imparting knowledge
Arrrrrrrroz!!!😂😂😂
You just know Marcello wrote this sketch cos it refers a bit from one of his standup routines. And Mikey's as hilarious as always!
I just saw that yesterday!
@natashafigueroa9198 Which one? Can you share a link?
@israeldelarosa5461 It's this one: ruclips.net/video/QNq7dMa5Vvg/video.html

1:41 caption [speaking spanish]
😂😂😂😂
Sosmerhing about loving plantains and rice with something about his grandmother making it
Grilled chicken with rice and beans and ripe plantain cooked by your grandmother, the plantains give a sweet flavor to a very salty dish
Ikr , shaking my head
El profesor sabe menos español que yo japonés. 😂😂😂
I am a huge Marcello fan, and so thrilled he is bringing so much to SNL. I know he had this exact experience in his own HS. However, the real comedy gold here is Mikey Day! I'm laughing outloud! OMG, "I'm sweating a bit", "Uh-oh!", "That was a leeetle fast por me" "Yummy!", "I heard rice in there somewhere...", and you can see even Marcello is cracking up at Mikey's responses! Great ending with the dance. Hope we get many more like these.
Right?? The spectacularly funny Mikey Day will be remembered _forever_ in the annals of SNL.
I'm lucky, my darling stepmom is from Colombia, so I've been improving quite well on my high school Spanish - though the word I use most often with her is "despacio!" 😄 You're so right, Marcello is super talented, versatile, and funny as hell. He grew up in Tamiami, half an hour from my home in South Miami, FL. It's always been a delight to hear his accent among so many others as I've grown up. Miami is excitingly cosmopolitan thanks to the influx of Latinos and their "energía." 😂😂
These were my white Spanish teachers in HS😂
My white spanish teacher would've school him as she was a pro in grammatical errors in 7 different languages. I remembered my friend who was cuban tried this on her and she wrote literally EVERYTHING he said down and we were all amazed at how quick her wrist was. She pointed out like 12 different grammar mistakes and and said "fast doesn't mean accurate. The faster you speak, the more grammar mistakes you make"
And she did the same back in english, speaking fast, and had him write everything down, he only got the first sentence, humbled him the F down lol
This was back in 2004, spanish level 4.
Very similar to a Monty Python sketch from Season 1 Episode 1.
I'm from Cuba and we are just like that! Our accent is pretty much impossible to understand if you don't know our idioms or if you are not used to the speed. But It's very fun and joyful and the video portraits that perfectly. I love it when I see these types of representations of my country
Well they are cuban, no need to fake it 😅
I once had a Cuban co-worker. For the record, I am Puerto Rican. At the club we worked, we'd speak in super fast Spanish. Our other co-workers and the customers would be all _y'all speak so fast!_
I’m Puerto Rican I’ll take that challenge on speed
Chile here: Who said speak fast?
Other Latinos have trouble understanding Cubans lol
I love hearing more Spanish on SNL, it means a lot to me 🇲🇽
And its nice because it's done in a way where it is still funny to people like me who don't speak Spanish.
You can look at the Spanish dub of SNL.
_Mucho_ means "a lot" to me.
@pikachuhutch234 They know English too. It's not an issue of not understanding English, it's touching to him/her to see Spanish being made more visible.
@JacobS2659 ok.
The dancing part was on point 😂
This actually happened to Marcelo when he went to college. It’s one of his bits from his stand up comedy. So funny. Glad SNL writers used it. And I’m sure he had so much directive input! So proud of our hometown Miami boy!!!!
Who is Karol G?
@catstoned25A Latin pop singer
@laurencorrales2223 ok, yeah and they are famous in the US? Have most people you think heard of this person before?
@catstoned25 I’m surprised you haven’t heard of her. She’s very famous.
@laurencorrales2223 I think probably only among people younger than most
Mikey Day is SNL’s secret weapon.
More sketches with Cuban and Miami references please!!! I’ve NEVER felt so represented before. I cried of joy and of laughter! Thank you for this!
Don't count on it. Liberals are racist in a different way where don't really hate Hispanics they just ignore them like hell. Took them 40 years to hire a Latina!!
You've been represented for years bruh chillax
@skxlter5747 seriously tho 💀😭
@skxlter5747that is absolutely not true cubans aren’t represented at all if u think we are give me some examples because i’m cuban myself and the only one people know about is scarface which the main actor wasn’t even CUBAN
@beautifulcorpse8202no we haven’t
4:21 Wendy Guevara en SNL 🤣
It’s so insane to hear words like “mamoncillo, duro frío, batido de Mamey, etc” in freaking SNL 🤯 as a Cuban this is like peak representation, blew my mind 😭😭
This was both hilarious and painful at the same time.
The SNL writer are killing this season best sketch of the night seeing Marcello ,and Anas De Armas speaking Spanish as Spanish students was so fun ,and brilliant😂👏🏽👏🏽.
This is based on a story from college that Marcello Hernandez tells in his stand-up routine! Props to him for this one!
Too bad its not funny
😕
This sketch is based on something that actually happened to marcelo 😂😂❤
"Loma abajo y sin frenos" just melted the part of my heart that harbours my Cuban idiomatic pride
I’m Chilean, we have a different idiomatic expression for it, but “loma abajo y sin frenos” makes a ton of sense and sounds so very poetic. I love it
La gracia para mi es cuesta abajo y sin frenos es una expresión en España también, pero lo asocio a algo que va de mal a peor xDD
@rabbityRogueo tambien "de culo y contra el viento" 😂😂😂
1:06: Uh-oh! 😂😂😂
Who ever pick out Ana's outfit is doing a good job.
Agreed. I love the crop top.
I'm weak in the knees
She could wear a trash bag and still look good
@K4R3N Right!!! She absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
They nailed the school girl look!
I'm a Dutchmen who grew up in Germany, and when I moved to the Netherlands, I was that annoying student who always corrected our German language teacher.
Gotta love how Ana explains the way cubans say “I’m in love”. As a mexican I’ve never in my life said “estoy enamorado”, just “estoy empelotado” or “estoy ganchado” lol spanish is difficult because of how we never use the standard spanish and slang is so common in every hispanic country.
Yes! Cuban Spanish has so many metaphors for practically everything. We commonly speak in figures of speech 😆
I´m mexican and I´ve never heard that before, Empelotado? ganchado? What´s that? Which part of Mexico talk like that? I´m curious
@JorgeEscobedo-pz5yf Mexico City, empelotado used to be slang back in the 90’s, not everyone knows the meaning tho, so don’t worry if a lot of people don’t get it
@AIByte3730como habla la chaviza.. 😏😂
@tercerimperiomexicano4487 cuando digo empelotado muchas personas ni entienden, ahora esto es en CDMX Y MONTERREY, no se si aplique en demás estados
As a Korean who’s living in México now, this clip makes me laugh a lot every time I watch it. I’m struggling with learning spanish now, and Señor Macintosh is kind of a button to laugh jajajajaja
Thats so nice to hear, hopefully your enjoying it!❤
Marcello and Ana are so cuban. I love it😂
Actually, Marcello is only half-Cuban. His father is Dominican.
@rayarena879 Well. He still "so Cuban" 😌🤣
Aprendí en México y me cuesta entenderles ;-)
@rayarena879 he is from Miami though and the Cuban culture is dominant here. Specially the talk lol I hear the Cuban more than the Dominican when he speaks spanish
@rayarena879 Jerry: Is there a difference?
Kramer: I don't know!
This game me "Lt Aldo Raine" (Brad Pitt) speaking Italian in Inglorious Basterds" vibes.
"A river there chief" lol
3:30 made me lose it LMFAOO Marcello was so funny in that part and as someone who's learning spanish, its even more so funny
Oh, the energy, the fun, the sense of community that Spanish speaking cast/guests bring to this show...
So true!
Lord Rama dude, you need some serious help. You're spreading white supremacist tropes in a comment about an SNL skit. Something went horribly wrong with your life. There's still hope for you but you need to seek help now.
ana de armas is crazy beautiful omg
👏moo-eee koh-mee-koh, kevinn👏
The fact that I’m taking Spanish classes right now makes this even funnier! My teacher is Puerto Rican and she be telling me all the things the Spanish books got wrong 🤣
It's probably because the book is Spain Spainish
To be fair, Puerto Rican Spanish is a very distinct dialect. Depending on your book, you're probably learning either Mexican Spanish or Spanish from Spain.
@laurao3274 Honestly, even the textbooks have outdated language a lot of the time!
I suppose it’s similar to when I was in Ireland. My friend was dating a gal from Spain. She could talk with him and the others, but had a very difficult time understanding me. It dawned on me that they likely learn the king’s English.
The other part I found interesting is one night she had a Chilean acquaintance over. After he left she explained how she had a tough time talking with him due to the language differences. I asked her a bit about it and she said that even within Spain there is a considerable regional language difference, to the point that she had a difficult time communicating with people from other areas.
As an English speaker I find that fascinating. Although English may very slightly from region to country, it doesn’t seem that drastic. On the other hand, Spanish seems to very wildly even in one country and certainly to another.
Hopefully starting with "asi asi" ?
'Y e'ta e' mi hermana". Pure dominican accent there, Marcelo. jaja
Oh no, en La Habana la mayoría también se comen las S al hablar, así que la pronunciación también es correcta para Cuba, sobre todo para el occidente del país.
En Venezuela tambien… es así en todo el caribe
Si en el oriente de cuba se habla asi
He speaks there with cuban accent, he can do both
Y en el Sur de España tambien. 😂😂😂
2:43 That look on a person's face when they realize they're not as fluent in a language as they thought they were 😳. Lol, Mikey nailed 😂!
"Y eta è mi hermana" dominican acent 💯🇩🇴😂 .
This is exactly how I describe my Spanish degree to people: Imagine a foreigner learning English from 19th century poetry and grammar textbooks and then having a conversation with you. I've definitely been Mikey more times than I care to admit 😂
3:37 I sense a little real-life frustration and disgust 😅
😂
0:40 he really called the principal in the "tú" tense 🫢
The teacher was trying his best 😢
Not good enough
2:59
"Don't get distracted by Ana de Armas, Ricky!"
ESTOY KIDDING!!!!!! 3:43
4:46 wait, there's people at the back of the scenario? Do they actually see anything?
You can be there as an audience and yes they do see everything
The sets are set up all over the room at different angles, so sometimes the audience's view is blocked depending where they are seated, but there are stationary monitors hanging from the ceiling, so everyone can always see everything.
Asi asi 👋🏾
It's SNL and you probably know how to read the words written there😅
@ScammerButChill tbf, “live” and “in front of a studio audience” are different things. The news is live but not in front of an audience.
"Loma abajo y sin frenos" JAJAJAJAJA this is too accurate!
As a former Spanish teacher [and native speaker] I found this so hilarious.
im a teacher of english and i use this to those students who get frustrated for not reach the native level, is very hard, so i play this video, shows backwards spanish english
A Cuban, a Dominican, and a Colombian all in one sketch?! Dang SNL, finally
I knew I heard a little Colombian in there
2:35 En la clase de idiomas, Ana de Armas actuando como cubana de calle y nombrando un plato típico de su país, eso no tiene precio. Jaja 😂🤣
One of the best sketches I’ve ever seen in my life - and I am from Germany.
My wife is from Peru so i am in some Spanish to communicate without big problems but Maria was a little bit difficult to understand all she said with food.
I watch this clip repeatedly to enjoy this so much.
This is so much Fun.
The other one I love is George Washington with weights and measures 😂
You gotta love it when that teacher who think he knows everything is outclassed by a couple of student.
Not really. I don't like to watch people get embarrassed like that. Kind of mean.
A couple of students with an "s".
@deepspace812 calm down, probably just a typo.
No reason to get your tighty-whities bunched up in a knot.
@deepspace812 now you know why he wants to bamboozle his teacher lol
^AI
Lol I am a native Spanish teacher and when I went to a new high school, my students were surprised because my accent was really "Spanish" not like their other teachers. I taught them how to gradually understand Spanish when spoken naturally fast lol and the principal told me I spoke too fast even though my students understood.
God bless ESL teachers.
"Loma abajo y sin freno"😂😂😂 This expression has a lot of meanings in Cuba.
