the SNL makeup & hair department KILLED IT in this sketch. Jennifer’s hair looks exactly like it did in the film. the Capitol reporters would literally fit right into the movie. and Bill Hader??? impeccable job
I'm sure there is year round coverage about past and potential future competitors as well as organizational news around the hosting entity. But you're right.
"The wasps gave 110% out there. Really pulled together as a team. Nobody believed in them before these Hunger Games started, and they used that as motivation to go out and sting their hearts out today."
Kinda like how she impressed the sponsors of the games by acting all radical... They figured she'd be fun to watch because she's 'all crazy". That's perfect for reality TV. Good observation on part of the SNL writers' team.
"No. The OTHER guy with the insane beard, YEAH YOU!" 😆 I also dig how Hader's Seneca Crane character is trying to help Peeta out by directing some questions his way, & then how protective he is when the questions get mean. PLUS how Katniss laughs at first. 😇
I love how the joke about Katniss's first name is arguably less embarrassing than the real, canon explanation for it, which is that her parents named her after a type of root vegetable.
I think that actually makes sense though. Like as embarrassing as that backstory is, I feel like a district where people are constantly going hungry would think naming their kid after a plant that could stave off starvation if you’re lucky enough foraging is actually pretty honorable.
Minh Nguyễn basically performance enhancing drugs are drugs that some athletes take which do something to your body (idk the science) and this help people to do something like run faster. The joke is that performance reducing drugs make your performance worse and the guy was joking about how Peeta was THAT bad. ^^ hope thats not too confusing XD
THE WAY JENNIFER/KATNISS STARTED TO LAUGH AT THE PERFORMANCE REDUCING DRUGS JOKES THEY MADE AT PEETA BUT STOPPED WHEN HE LOOKED AT HER- IM SOBBINH THATS HILARIOUS
Well she was suppose to have been all roughed up in the game, minimal makeup or it's unrealistic, in here she just put on a wig for the skid, the makeup was her regular makeup
Same peeta is different from the basic male characters can’t people just accept that. Also can I just say people who say that should think about what peeta went through in the games they’d be in the same condition.
@@prometheus5700 Yes, she has been in several recent productions. Although, I haven’t seen anything with her in it lately. The last movie with her in it was Passengers and that came out in 2018 maybe.
I watched SNL from the mid 70's til about 10 years ago. Did NOT know what I was missing so having lots of fun catching up. Gotta Love Jennifer. So talented. Josh is really talented and not short.
4:00 "I bet you hate it, when people talk about your beard" Correct response: "Probably not as much as you hate it, when people talk about your eyebrows"
"I usually do the golf beat. Our Hunger Games guy is on vacation." I love the concept that the guy covering the Hunger Games is away THE WEEK THE HUNGER GAMES ENDED. Also, the beard. If like me you see this before you see the first Hunger Games film, you will not stop laughing when Wes Bentley appears.
@@artyomxiii It's a joke the reporter was making. Katnis seems to be a strong and powerful warrior whose performance was incredible, but for Peter was not that incredible compared to Katnis. That's why they were asked if Katniss used PED, and if Peter uses PRD. Hope this helps however late it is.
Something key I've picked up rewatching the movies and this skit is that JLaw is honestly much more suited for comedy than anything else. Ig it makes it funnier over time knowing her big break was in prob one of the more darker movie franchises to date
+Angel Hunter he is quite short but not that much below average it's just pretty unlucky he is next to Jennifer who is only slightly taller than him but then she wears big heels and she looks so much taller and then Liam is a giant.
For this sketch its funny and I know that hes average height. The alternate ending could have them saying that Gale isnt her cousin and showing a photo of him
1:49 Let me get this straight. The Hunger Games journalist at your company could have gone on vacation at any other time of year, but he decided to take time off during the annual sporting event that he's supposed to be covering?
Only problem here is Seneca was more than like executed right away as depicted in the movie. Lol OR President Snow forced Seneca to do the press conference before he was executed.
"They're all dead" "Really? All of 'em?" "Yes." "Is that unusual?" "No, that"s how the Hunger Games work" "waarfff" xD I don't know who is this actor, but I love his face :D
can we just appreciate the fact that they made this hair, makeup, and costumes in less that a week? i mean they are inspired after the real costumes from the movie but still dang that's really impressive.
Tim Robinson, as a performer, was a hidden treasure that no one there was able to appreciate. He had a lot of succes as a writter, but is much more interesting his professional live after SNL. 'I think you should leave with Tim Robinson' is wonderful.
The dude who is hungry dosent really make sense like hes from the capital,, they literally have feasts so big that they throw up to just be able to try everything
@@ayandak47 the reason they are in crushing debt is that they use money for plastic surgery or clothes.To get out of these debt, they either go to the military or scrape by.
Nobody: Not even Jennifer Lawrence : Me: well the Katniss is a potato like plant other wise known as a tuber plant and her father always said if you can find yourself you will never starve 🙂

I mean they are professionals
Bill Hader looks menacing and awesome af!
And they addressed the beard question!
Wait that was actually Jennifer Lawrence?
Maybe they should have hired some writers, too

There is only one hunger games a year, the hunger games reporter that went on holiday just skipped his only job for the year
When your frequent flier miles are about to expire, you use those puppies NOW.
Maybe Snow “sent him on vacation”.
that’s so smart
I'm sure there is year round coverage about past and potential future competitors as well as organizational news around the hosting entity. But you're right.
I was thinking they should have used the name of one of the contestants and been like "yeah X is apparently on vacation" ...
Bill Hader's ability to look like literally anyone astonishes me.
PAUL AURORA PAUL AURORA
I find his ability is to always look like Bill Hader.
I literally had to replay to check if they actually casted the original character. Hahaha! 😅
The way he actually looks like Seneca Crane 😭
This sketch had more potential
"Ya gotta give a lot of credit to the wasps. They were great."
Such a perfect sports press conference line.
"The wasps gave 110% out there. Really pulled together as a team. Nobody believed in them before these Hunger Games started, and they used that as motivation to go out and sting their hearts out today."
Kinda like how she impressed the sponsors of the games by acting all radical...

Good observation on part of the SNL writers' team.
Was a cool scene. But then it got so sad. For short smiles
She's so good at acting, it's literally like in the movies
true i thought that also, she doesn't seem like jennifer lawrence here, she really is acting in this :)
Acting a character that hers ... so hard.
Even though she barely spoke in the movies (as in Katniss is sort of the introvert type that would suck in interviews like this)
@@Zhoshyn Jennifer's depiction of Katniss in this skit is different that Katniss in the movie. Jen created a new version of Katniss for this.
y'all know that she's an actress... right?
RIP peetas self confidence
There was no self confidence to begin with
Be gone brayden
"Any questions for Peeta?" "What was it like to be in the arena with Katniss?"
@@Marta-uv4id there was if you read the books but apparently you didn't

Is that one-line that I will remember and chuckled no matter what time of the day.
"No. The OTHER guy with the insane beard, YEAH YOU!" 😆
I also dig how Hader's Seneca Crane character is trying to help Peeta out by directing some questions his way, & then how protective he is when the questions get mean. PLUS how Katniss laughs at first. 😇
Yes
I was like wow she really looks like Katniss. Then realized it's Jennifer Lawrence lmao
Same.
Yeah just as lively as a piece of dry toast.
lol seriously......
I was thinking the same thing until she started talking & Katnesses voice came out, Jennifer Lawrence’s voice, that is LOL
It took me so long
I love how the joke about Katniss's first name is arguably less embarrassing than the real, canon explanation for it, which is that her parents named her after a type of root vegetable.

i mean if she finds herself she'll never go hungry
her dad did tell her "as long as you can find yourself you'll never go hungry"
@@leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve1631 well done hahaha
What about district 1 tributs names being Glimmer, Gloss and Casmere
Seneca seems pretty calm for someone who's about to be killed by President Snow
TMachine97 Yeah but it's not like he knew he was gonna get killed
Tha Bomb he realized it as soon as he had to let both live
Oh, Seneca. You don't know what about gonna happen to you lol
Nope, he realised when he saw the poisonous berries in the bowl..
Maybe that's why he doesn't want to talk about his beard. He's about to get killed 😂😂
katniss trying not to laugh at 3:30 is the best thing about this whole video
She was so natural in this and didn’t struggle like some of the celebrity guests! Good for her ❤️❤️❤️
Peeta’s single “Sorry” was funnier than the entire skit 💀
Yeah the writing was not strong in this skit, a couple of good jokes aside.
I cracked up, there was something about his voice.
@@cierrad1 GREAT JOB on the voice!
I WAS JUST ABT TO COMMENT THAT!!
🤣
did anyone else think that the guy who played seneca here looks a lot like actual seneca in movies
Bill Hader?
Yep. I was like, Katniss, check. Seneca, check. Peeta.. wait that's not the real one!
Seneca was played by Bill Hader in this clip, an SNL actor.
thats because it is them
Weird I always read it as sir- ee-na crane but your erite
3:30 - 3:38
"Have you been using performance reducing-drugs"
**Katniss laughs**
**Sees Peeta looking at her**
**Stops laughing**
+Angel Patel what is that? i dont understand this part, can someone explain this to me?
Minh Nguyễn basically performance enhancing drugs are drugs that some athletes take which do something to your body (idk the science) and this help people to do something like run faster. The joke is that performance reducing drugs make your performance worse and the guy was joking about how Peeta was THAT bad.

I love how SNL is able to get the actors to reprise their roles for their own parodies.
My all time favorite will always be Adam Driver being Kylo Ren on Undercover Boss 😂
@@CassTeaElle More understated but equally hilarious is Nic Cage pretending to be Nic Cage's clone on In the Cage segment
4:38 "And I've been standing this whole time"
I totally saw that coming 😂😂
Katniss's name is actually even weirder, she's named after a type of potato.
Ursa that’s explained in the first Hunger Games book
I Heard that it means "Thrower of arrows"
Oh yeah!! Wasn’t it like a tuber or something
Potato Evergreen lol
@@avery-grace2793 it was a tuber, it's very clearly mentioned in the book

ok
Guile. And. Cunning. I think he answered the question.
Yeah that was so dumb in the movies...that's the part I said OK peeta is weak useless Peeta
i mean honestly it was really smart but he had to probably get so much paint lol
THE WAY JENNIFER/KATNISS STARTED TO LAUGH AT THE PERFORMANCE REDUCING DRUGS JOKES THEY MADE AT PEETA BUT STOPPED WHEN HE LOOKED AT HER- IM SOBBINH THATS HILARIOUS
Cant believe a SNL skit from 9 years ago was already pushing the "Maude Ivory is Katniss' grandmother" theory
Her makeup is more beautiful in snl then in the movie
Well she was suppose to have been all roughed up in the game, minimal makeup or it's unrealistic, in here she just put on a wig for the skid, the makeup was her regular makeup
@@215ohmygod oh it was a wig
omg really now? comparing the make up? ohmaigod people can be so ridiculous
Wig?? Really???
Than learn to spell you moron
This is actually how I see Peeta's character haha
+H Shaw me too, that´s the reason why I dont like him, for me he is kind of pathetic.
He's much better in the books
Tsengee S agreed
You see him 2 feet tall?
Aww
PERFORMANCE REDUCING DRUGS I'M SCREAMING
Same peeta is different from the basic male characters can’t people just accept that. Also can I just say people who say that should think about what peeta went through in the games they’d be in the same condition.
WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING DO YOU NEED HELP
WHY ARE YOU CRYING CALL 1800 1111
I am turning into a God
i feel bad for peta
3:34 that smile/laugh on Katniss then hiding it after looking at Peeta, they should have shown everyone's reaction on this
I do think Jennifer Lawrence actually added some humor to this skit.

Pritthee Mahdiyat lol
Same! Laughed out loud like a psycho 😂
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been looking for that comment XDDD I'm still wheezing
i thought that line was weird. the buffet, the sticks and leaves, that seemed possible. But asking to eat someone's beard shavings? nah.
4:00 "I bet you hate it, when people talk about your beard"
Correct response: "Probably not as much as you hate it, when people talk about your eyebrows"
StormflameMW exactly what i was thinking
Haha Jennifer Lawrence laughed when he asked about the performance reducing drugs 😂😂
that dude who asked about talking to the other tributes and didn't know that they died had me crying tears of laughter.🤣
I really thought Jen had a doppelgänger then realised it was actually her
3:34 Jen suddenly remembered that Katniss never laughs
It's a good one it caught her off guard lol
Actually I think she stopped laughing bc peeta caught her and she didn’t wanna be mean
Either way, it's funny that she stopped herself! LOL
@@Cutiemaan yea i think thats why

+Angel Hunter he is quite short but not that much below average it's just pretty unlucky he is next to Jennifer who is only slightly taller than him but then she wears big heels and she looks so much taller and then Liam is a giant.

@RonnyDonny13 It is very short for a man
Rudy Cooper it’s 2 inches shorter than average for America’s
Only problem here is Seneca was more than like executed right away as depicted in the movie. Lol OR President Snow forced Seneca to do the press conference before he was executed.
Yeah, that’s the most inaccurate part of this.
This is canon and no one can tell me otherwise
The funniest part is that in the book Peeta is actually taller than Katniss

Gotta love JLaw
Why does bill actually look good with Seneca’s jacked up grooming choices tho....
Because Bill Hader is an underrated hottie
He looks great always, that's why
Bill Hader is a bloody genius, his work on things like South Park and SNL is severely underrated
I think the funniest part of this skit was the look on Hader's face when they asked about his beard.
Rewatching this for the hundredth time and I’m not over how brilliantly Jennifer stays in character
i laughed so hard when Peta Waddled away 4:47
Then he waddled away, til the very next day.

*me, dying of laughter
When he asked if peeta used preformance reducement drugs, Jennifer looked like she was laughing 🤣
*Its unhealthy how many times I watched this...Not gonna lie*
did anyone else notice that the biggest cheer was when he said the interview was over...
Bill Hader's expression after being asked about his beard is killing me. XD
the hunger games trilogy remade where everything is the same but bill hader plays seneca
and taram as peeta 😂
They used one of the most overweight guys on the cast to be the "starving" one.
Ironic isn't it
To be fair. He would've gotten fat because of eating more than he should so, being used to more food, he'd probably get hungry sooner.
He's also one of the main writters of sketches.
That IS what Capitol people are like
Peeta is bakers son, one of the wealthiest dudes from district, no wonder peeta is thicc also in a movie
AWWWWW PEETA...... So cute and sad....
I have always enjoyed it when SNL gets actors/actresses to reprise iconic roles for a sketch.
