    Fun fact: John Mulaney desperately and repeatedly pitched this sketch as a writer and they never let him do it, so when he came back as a host, he just whipped it out out of a spite

    Lobster number one!
    [Clawset’s Song]
    Papa I’ve heard they want you dead
    Let me go in your place instead
    Whether it’s boiled, steamed or fried
    Up to the great tank in the sky
    [The Barricade]
    Will your join in our crusade to keep this lobster from this pot
    Will you drop the masquerade and give our BLT a shot?
    Then join in the fight that would give us the right to be free
    Do you hear the lobster scream?
    Screaming the scream of scalding flames
    It is the screaming of a lobster and this dummy’s here to blame
    When the churning in your bowls
    Matches the burning of his shell
    You’ll know why lobsters in a diner never sell
    Lobsters,
    You don’t order them,
    In diners!

    When John points at Pete with that deadpan face and sings "Who's this guy?" I swear that's the part where Pete Breaks. I laugh every time!

      There's a point where something becomes too much, and it's just silly. At that point, you either have to cross the line twice or you are wasting everyone's time.
      As for the other, that's premature elaughation.

      MythicTyrant not absurd. I mean...they ARE technically doing, EVERY Saturday what theatre does. Live performances. It fits well. I'd love to see something of this calibur or effect every Saturday

      @@GREVIEWS02 not eating an animal that's literally been cooked to death but rather going for the veal, a baby cow? yeah, I think showing the hypocrisy in this train of thought was one of the main points of this sketch.
