This is kind of dark if you think about it. What if that guy is alone in the woods and grows people to converse with. What we see here is them finding out.
There is literally nothing there that hints at him being a jock. He was wearing a wool shawl over a denim jacket ffs. ;P I guess in the OP's world anyone who is a bully automatically plays team sports? o.O
eo Wow. Your joke was so unfunny I didn’t even register what you meant by it until I realized it was your attempt at a joke. Come on man, it wasn’t even a good ol lame dad joke. Hahah
@@annabelbrinkley4820 Well *spoiler* none of them were even real apart from Mike, so he could have had them believing they were in school (him being the only one knowing they are adults and aren't in school).
potwhovian no, they never existed.. he went out camping by himself and just imagined the whole thing. At the end after they explode even their beer and marshmallows disappear.
They were grow a guys after they died in horrific accidents. The parents couldn't cope with the loss so they replaced them. The last guy was a recent friend. He couldn't of known. This could explain them at assholes(beck) parents house.
How about, he has a personality disorder and each one of his personalities grew the other four people and his true self grew james. So obviously he doesn't know the others are the grow a guys and he thinks they are his regular friends..so the only grow a guy he knows of is his.
I said this one day after getting in a fight with my friend 3 years ago, every time i say i am lonely she uses this against me and others have too. F my life
Beck Bennett killed in this sketch! Well done Mike O'Brien. I really hope he keeps giving us shorts like this cause honestly it was probably one of the best parts of the show.
Might I recommend a warm furry cat to keep you company. It's works for me. Nothing beats curling up with your warm cat on a cold day & watching RUclips. Plus you have a ready made excuse for not doing anything. I couldn't move because the cat was in my lap sound asleep.
I don't know if I should just take it at face value and chuckle, or... Well, see... That ending has me thinking that the video was about one loney guy who made five "grow-a-guy/gal" friends so he could hang out with someone, and they each developed a personality. Then when one of them questioned if he had any real people friends, he panicked and grew a best friend. Now the ending is super depressing, as this lonely, slightly mad man is right where he started. Audience laughs, fade to black.
Yea. But I was hoping to get a number or website for grow-a-girl. #GrowGirlBritney #GrowGirlNatliePortman #GrowGirlSelenaGomez either of these models will do. Hope they don't self-explode when under physical exertion.
He get called out for basically not being popular. Literally goes out and grows a guy to be his friend. That friend dies. Finds out his original group of friends weren't real at all. He ends up all alone... You don't find that sad, brah?
These sketches are honestly addicting 😂 The writers are talented but it's the actors and what personality they bring to the roles that honestly makes this so funny.
@Dave Micolichek Actually, there's PLENTY of successful Clints in real life. Basically every company I worked for had Clints in every position of power.

@@seanhart9706 I think he means *lady* but basically yeah. The boyfriend died and there was a program using his internet activity to clone him. It has Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson in it.
I love seeing the comments from people confused by this skit. Kinda reminds me that not everyone understands odd/dark humor. Personally this skit will probably be underrated over time, because I think it was pretty hilarious.
Mark Strong Well screw heaven then. Though if you're already happy all the time, I guess you don't have much use for humor. So...yeah. This video though. I see the funny in it, but at the same time it makes me sadder the more I think about it. Which not all dark humor does.
@Dave Micolichek it is not smth you choose. Although you can choose not to hang out with people like those in your free time. Much harder when you have to be in the same place as bullies.
Beck’s character is so awful, he did such a good job acting him out

Alice Gerchanovsky horrible hahah

This feels like a Black Mirror episode
It could be one if they took out the witty humor and they made it a robot instead
i mean it is a black mirror episode
It already is a black mirror episode, it was freaky asf
It's better. It has James Franco in it
no i mean there is literally a black mirror episode in season 2 that this ripped off
"Are we your only friends?"
"I'm genuinely asking."
Are sentences a real friend would never say. I guess no friends are better than those types of "friends" though.
you gotta give the fucker some slack I mean he's not even a real person
Anyway, that's like four people, which is actually pretty good!
Yup dropped some people once they started saying that
Yeah, "News Flash", they weren't real friends, they were Grow-a Guys.

And then they always end up being so mean to the dude they created when they were the ones who created them.

It wasn't un-funny, but it was just really, really odd.
Lots of SNL sketches are like that, particularly those that air after Weekend Update.
I mean it does lack my sense of humor but I can't help but continue watching them .
I'm genuinely asking.
I was thinking, "And you're genuinely an asshole" lol
...for a friend?
"I'm genuinely about to punch you in the face."
Y'know, seeing as Clint has money and a "nice-ass lake house," I'd say he's probably his parents' grow-a-guy.

That friend dies.
Finds out his original group of friends weren't real at all.
He ends up all alone... You don't find that sad, brah?
They need "grow a sack" too and you can purchase it lol
This sketch feels like a sci-fi black humor to me. A bit ironic and surreal.
how does his "family" have a lakehouse if he's a synthetic being??
Trevor it's Trevor's lake house and that's just the lie he told Clint to say while they role-played the friend group.
Dave Micolichek he’s just genuinely asking
He thinks it is family's lake house because he was programmed to believe it was so.

You know the actor is good when he pisses you off sooooo much.

The sad thing is this means Mike O' Brian has no friends...
Well, he's dating Cecily Strong, so that's something.
Not A Doctor WHAT?
This cracked me up so hard. When Beck yelled “Me too! Peace!”
The ending gives so many layers to this skit, it went from from funny to tragically hilarious
As the very very shy introverted kid growing up, the opening scene was triggering. The dialogue of becks character was spot on
I had a real friend who turned into a Clint... had... Clints suck.
