I love that Heidi Gardner can do a hilarious caricature of a teen girl without caving into obnoxious stereotypes... like the joke of these sketches isn't 'teenage girls are vacuous and awful and don't deserve respect' - instead it's a painfully accurate representation of how raging hormones, self-consciousness and inexperience can make teens overact in a funny way. So we can laugh but we still empathise with her. It takes a lot of skill to make that work!
She also nails (subtly) how there's so much pressure for teenage girls/young women to appeal to normative dudes, making sure to signal that she likes burgers and sports, and that superheroes shouldn't be female.
WTF are you babbling about? First of all... you’re an ass-clown for NOT seeing that this sketch is INDEED doing that very thing that you “think” it is not. It’s ABSOLUTELY depicting how vacuous, clueless & delusional most teenage girls are these days. Her “hormonal crush” is just one of the many nuances of this epic display of the shit-show that many millennials have been groomed to become. The only thing “painfully obvious” is that you share the same mindset of this character- which she portrays beautifully. The only difference is that you likely had at least one parent who has tried, (to the point of ad nauseam), to get it through your thick skull that you need to get your head out of your ass & stop thinking like a complete tool. You need to realize... REALLY REALIZE... that your SnapChat account, your cell phone, your Jimmy Choo’s & your (fingers crossed) tickets to the next “Burning Man” are about as important to mankind as a turd dipped in chocolate. I too was once a teenage girl, but I was smart enough to know the difference between things that matter & things that don’t at the end of the day. I was a blonde, Honor-Roll, cheerleader with the same damn hormones that you seem to think are responsible for the ignorance of young women these days. Well, I’m here to tell you that I’m now a grown woman, still a blonde, still hella-smart (a physician to be exact), who refuses to let my children surf the wave of stupid that you’re on. Do us all a favor a watch this sketch again, and again, and again until you can say to yourself (with 100% certainty), that you understand that this depiction is not, in any way, respectful or encouraging of current, teen behavior. It is trying to showcase how delusional teens are and you, oh naive one, are the reason they write sketches like this. You’re more articulate than most, and appear to have enough potential to overcome the ignorance that plagues our future generations, so please... don’t dismiss this reply as bitter or mean-spirited. In other words, don’t Snowflake-out because your feelings are hurt. Instead, you should make a concerted effort to read between the lines. When you do, my message will become all too clear & you’ll (hopefully) make a positive difference in this world. Ohh, if it turns out you’re not in your 20’s, (but rather some 40+ year-old who should know better)... well, the only thing you should “feel” is ashamed that you’re as clueless as your comment suggests. Cheers!
She's still supporting but making an impression. They are shoving Alex and Mikey down our throats and unfortunately they will be full cast members next season. I don't know how Melissa V made it to a second season but I think she won't be back next season. She's rarely used but when she is, she seems to be a one trick pony. They don't seem to use her for her impressions which is her strength. Even her opening at the beginning of the show looks bad, she looks like a puppet.Back to Heidi, she's good in this sketch but maybe there is hope for her. I agree that Luke Null has not made an impression and will be gone. If it were up to me Alex whatever his last name and Mikey Day would be gone. They are the interchangeable and the epitome of the milquetoast white guys. I forgot that Kyle is still on the show. I think Chris Redd is making a good impression and he should be back.
Agreed that Luke and Melissa are probably gone soon-- I was surprised Melissa was back this season, even though I really like her. I can't tell if she's failing to perform or if they're failing to use her, but either way, the rarity of her appearances is notable. Also agreed that Heidi and Chris are doing great and will be staying. I don't think Mikey is gonna leave the show soon, he's a writer-- he might do a Mike O'Brien thing and go back to writing after being a player for a while, but I think he's a decent performer and improving, so he's probably staying. Initially I did think there were just way too many interchangeable white guys (like I literally had that thought, "all these guys are more or less the same and I can't tell the difference between them, why are there so many"), but to be honest they've each grown on me-- Beck is fantastic and Kyle brings in some much-needed weirdness, and they have great chemistry together. I never cared about Alex until he started playing Eric Trump in the Eric/Jr sketches, but those sketches are *so* funny that I'd be crushed to see Alex leave. I'm fine with them using him rarely, though.
You have to appreciate acting that deep in a comedy sketch. Gets a bit dark, but it’s pretty damn refreshing to see that kind of commitment to a character. Well done.
@@saywhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Vanessa is a cute Jewish boy, she nails that little dude, I hated it when she left the show, Ms Meadows (Vanessa Bayer) was the best poetry professor I ever had, she taught me that you could express yourself and be whoever you wanted to be in a pooeeem and she cared when nobody else did.
That part when Heidi was asking Michael if she knows Thanos is how I would act in high school when I found out my crush and I had a mutual friend. But I’m a guy so...that’s how I used to flirt.
Love her story.... Heidi was a hairdresser and gave up her career to pursue comedy... look at her now. She's a natural at this and doesn't rely on the teleprompter like everyone else. Edit: She needs more screen time. I love her and Cecily.
She is so good...her acting work is freaking amazing. Bring the character to life with no missteps and breaks at all. Very impressive and need to see more of her!
ha ha i knew someone would comment that. it took 17 hours it looks like. joke jōk noun 1. a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. I found it funny and i was amused. sure sounds like a joke to me.
Chris urquhart I was going to ask if you do it enough does it make your hair crust up like a Yorkie or Westie? If so,..... The new trustafarian hair craze, say goodbye to dreadlocks....say hello to eye booger highlights!
"Ok, so I guess I'll just shut up". Lol that was perfect. That phrase alone makes me empathize with how tough it can be to support your teenager without seeming overbearing.
I have teen kids in the house and this is so freaking therapeutic... It's too danged accurate. This is a California teenager, right? Because that's the accent. Even some adults have that accent. Mock it freely.
Anyone who can use that space of silence and awkwardness to build to tears while tossing out hilarious gestures and getting laughs all while on live tv is a comic genius. I mean she is really remarkable. Most ppl would panic and rush through a scene and fake it while filling every second. Her comfort in using the silence and her physical space is stellar.
The GENIUS of this character is all the little nuances that perfect capture those particular teen girls' obsession with being a chill homie who isn't like other girls.
The vibrato in Heidi's voice is bringing it
MDAShadow she is great. I love her as the boxer girlfriend who is STAYING AT HER SISTERS!!
Teresa McKeown does Colin know?
As a highschool senior I give her performance 10/10 on accuracy this is great 👍
Ok, awkward. 🙃
Weird.....I am making this comment 4 years later, which means you may be a senior in college by now.
Curious to know 6 years later what you did after HS!! 😅
We’ve all had a class with a Bailey
Dakota Perez yes...this is correct.
Facts lol
Dakota Perez Yes omg
Dakota Perez of course. If you live in SoCal you’ve had entire classes OF Baileys.
Or done a Bailey.
She really gets into character
playing teen girl good
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Yep. Amazing!
I was convinced that her character needed to take clozapine and and really strong laxative 😂
It’s too good
A little too much
I went to acting school with her. She's very into character acting.
"Okay, so I guess I'll just shut up..."
That was a little too accurate. That was my ex. Except she's 41.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot 😂😂😂
I sweaaar she reminded me of my 13 year old niece when she did that.
Shes 41?
Stefany Savoie i think he means his ex is 41. heidi gardner is 35
miapdx that’s like everybody’s ex.

There, even later to the party! We'll eventually complete an outfit. Maybe.
Her teen girl is too real. It goes from uncomfortable but funny to just uncomfortable.
Agreed. I would call her character annoying.. Perfect for making her a target on a dartboard. Ridicule is one of the nastiest facets of humor.
Agree. It ran about 90 seconds too long.
But then ends with funny
Yeah, there are moments where she's too real for SNL. But I don't mind watching it at all.
Too real? I have never encountered a person behaving like that anywhere in life.
This character is one of the best things to come out of SNL in recent years.
Okay

Yep. Spot on.
Che: "isnt he like, the bad guy?"
Bailey: "OrHesJustLikeDifferent"
Heidi is going places... I guarantee it.

For sure.
Mario Anthony. Yeah 😃 I'm so impressed. She's definitely going places.
Saturday night live is the place
Mario Anthony well she was on Bob's burgers
Sean Sheist yes, but voice alone is a completely different animal in many ways if you don’t do both.
This is the best weekend update character since Vanessa Bayer's little jewish boy.
My favorite Vanessa Bayer weekend update character was the child news anchor. Killed me every time
Jesse Cole agreed
Cathy Anne!
@@saywhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Vanessa is a cute Jewish boy, she nails that little dude, I hated it when she left the show, Ms Meadows (Vanessa Bayer) was the best poetry professor I ever had, she taught me that you could express yourself and be whoever you wanted to be in a pooeeem and she cared when nobody else did.
Bailey's back! I'm glad she was able to take enough time away from bowling with her dad to make this happen!
And the play
Culturedog dude this character needs a movie spin off!!!
And got over that bad case of mono!
😆😆😆
scary how uncomfortable she made me..... such an accurate portrayal of annoying teens
That part when Heidi was asking Michael if she knows Thanos is how I would act in high school when I found out my crush and I had a mutual friend.
But I’m a guy so...that’s how I used to flirt.
Jim Shoes
Great advice 😂😂
Kymmze J
Lol 😂
So did you ever ask Thanos out or what?
oh same, man
I'm not saying you guys don't work hard cuz on Saturdays you do
Haha Hella inconsiderate, they work hard all week to prepare and write the sketches ha
The best.
I didn't laugh, but I was legitimately impressed with how well she nailed that performance. My friend's sister is exactly like that.
Love her story.... Heidi was a hairdresser and gave up her career to pursue comedy... look at her now. She's a natural at this and doesn't rely on the teleprompter like everyone else.
Edit: She needs more screen time. I love her and Cecily.
It's almost not night anymore...
And she still relies on hair a lot in this job.
I really appreciate how committed she is. She is not afraid of slowing down her pacing. Respect!
Bailey IS SNL'S CURRENT BEST CHRACTER I HAVE A VISCERAL REACTION TO HER
Tammy V yes! Very this!!!
She is so good...her acting work is freaking amazing. Bring the character to life with no missteps and breaks at all. Very impressive and need to see more of her!
Haha Heidi is great. She was awesome in Life of the Party too
She's so invested in the character, she barely looked at the cue cards
Actually this is youtube. Lol

Goddamn Heidi is great as Bailey Gismert XD

She is SO GOOD AT THIS!!! She gives such a deep performance & makes the character so complex within 3 minutes!! 😂
We all knew/know a Bailey. Heidi absolutely killed this character, awesome job
"I'm not going to text Thanos" might be the greatest line ever written in the English language.
If you felt that uncomfortable teen vibes, then that shows how good her acting was.

I like how fast she comes back with “or he’s just different.”
As irritating as an actual teen. Painful to watch.
