When I read the description and the sketch started, I thought the servers were going to be nervous because they insisted on continuing to assume this was the actual Manson family. That would have been funnier.
I can't believe Lorne OKed this sketch. It's like the writers were channeling the worst improv-style sketches of the 70s that SNL was mocking when they first went on the air in the 70s.
if Dakota's "team" had a lot of input on what she would be okay with / would not be okay with, you can end up with a lot of meh sketches because they aren't willing to take risks.
Me and the other two people I watched this with looked at eachother when it ended and said "was this purposely an awful sketch?"... And not just cheesy or cringey, but actually unbearable, embarrassing and painful to watch. Its like the writers truly thought this would be funny... A lot of their stuff is pretty bad lately but this was on a whole new level. Couldn't believe my eyes.
Actually it happened to me. The girl did not write down our orders and then forgot mine. You know how embarrassing it is to watch someone eating for 20 mins while they rush you a half-assed meal?
Mason - Manson, makes sense. Fingers - Fongers...WTF? And then a bone-in fonger and a Caesar fonger.... Is this supposed to be funny? Is the next sketch going to be about chocolate molk? BTW, had they ever rehearsed this sketch before? Or was it the first time through, like it looked? Honestly...is this really.... My local high school can make this sketch funnier.
This sketch brings back bad memories of my waitressing days. At one point, management imposed this stupid policy where we had to memorize orders without writing them down! Nothing like making a hard job more difficult.
I know what you’re saying. I’m going to give my age away, but back in the day I worked at a Burger Chef and we couldn’t write anything down. When the lunch crowd came,I was so nervous I couldn’t remember anything. Stupid policy, and on top of that, the old cash registers didn’t compute anything for you, you had to count out your own change.
I think that at the very end, instead, when they all have their attention diverted by arguing about the drawing with the waitresses and the kid is alone sitting at his seat, another waitress should have came out with a big bra and fastened it to his head. That would have been sort of a funny/cute thing to see happening off to the side while the others are busy arguing. The sketch maybe deserves a sequel.
I really didn't think it was all that bad. Really don't understand why people are being so hard on it. It's not like SNL has ways hit home runs. Personally, I feel like the early 2000's cast sucked, and those episodes were horrible. I mean Tracy Morgan and Tina Fey were the only bright spots. I thought Will Ferrell and Cherri Oteri were so annoying I wanted to kill someone.
You guys clearly don't get this sketch. It's funny because the servers can't remember their orders and then Sarah Sherman sits at the table WITH the people she is supposed to be serving! Then she makes funny faces to show you it's funny.
whenever anyone would ask me "aren't you going to right it down" i'd quickly reply "don't jinx me" which usually got the rest of table on my side and somehow shifted the responsibility of any possible mistakes onto the asker. also i think getting sassy felt like doubling down which probably gave me a little edge on cementing the order to memory
People complaining about the writing while I'm mentally trying to understand how beautiful but unrecognizable Dakota is without bangs and with a ponytail.
Are we 100% sure the writers actually came back from the strike?
They never did
HAHA this one is too good
@markwred-kz1iq she indeed comes across kinda cringe at times.
Hey don’t make fun of ChatGPT’s writing ability like that. You’ll regret it one day…
Savage.
This never would have happened at Terrazanos!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mango Juul for the little guy is probably the best joke here 🤔
I want a mango pod so bad
@barringtonbec4748 I don't vape, but after this skit, I need a box of cigars and several vapes.
The bit with Kenan was the only funny part of this for me.
Professionals made this. They got paid for it.
If they just showed a blank screen I would have been happier to pay for it.
Read this in John Mulaney's voice.
HANDSOMELY paid no less
Hmm I'm gonna tell my 7 year old their theater skits are now offically SNL material.
Scary!!!
They really thought " fongers " was funny enough to carry a sketch.
I came here to say the same thing... Truly terrible.
This comment is going to get more likes than the video
i liked it ooops
No. The little gay line carries it.
Yes. Yes they did. I *almost* laughed when she said “little gay” though.
Thank God. I’m not going crazy. Other people thought this sketch was terrible as well.
i actually loved it lol ooops
I thought I was missing something lmao
@@kerinemeroff8093 oops is right., lol
Yeah... odd premise, bad timing, clumsy delivery. Not up to their usual standard.
Entire season has been awful tbh
When I read the description and the sketch started, I thought the servers were going to be nervous because they insisted on continuing to assume this was the actual Manson family.
That would have been funnier.
Or if they turned out to also be killers and suddenly pulled out a bunch of axes or something.
They should've invested in that!
That would have actually been a premise
I will be suing NBC for pain and suffering after this is over.
no, no, wait for the rest of the show, then proceed.
You'll need to get in line. Sweet holy geezus.
I'm attached to that lawsuit!
Make it a class action.
Good luck with that

Improv would never user the word “fongers”
If you’re gonna mix up an order, you gotta mix it up with something on the menu.
First thing I thought was, 70s too. Only, not old SNL , more like ‘3’s Company’ or ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ sort of material.
Me and the other two people I watched this with looked at eachother when it ended and said "was this purposely an awful sketch?"...

snl going thru dark knight of the soul, gotta hit a hard place before transforming... or smth like that :-)
And slightly insulting to waiters or servers. I worked as one for many years and always wrote the orders down.
I disagree that a lot of their stuff is pretty bad, but this one is the worst I’ve seen in a long time 😂

Welcome to Late Millennial SNL
ooof...that was rough.
I don't think Dakota Johnson actually took acting classes. I think her dad just made calls to get her into projects.
You know it’s a bad sketch when they have to put Kenan in there to try and save it😂
Why would he not be in this, he's part of the cast
Maybe you don’t know so much. 😊
@@bogzbiny He’s not in every sketch
@@boxsterman77 he saves bad sketches all the time
@@ThecrazyJH96he’s never bad in any sketch
How did that not get cut?
how did this one get through dress rehearsal is beyond me remember when kyle mooneys sketches gut cut for time
That bombed
The Home Movies skit from tonight was hilarious. I'll focus on the positives.
Agreed
I expect a public apology for this sketch.
That...definitely could've been better.
What's the matter? You didn't order the chicken fongers?
The whole episode was bad
Someone got paid to write "fongers" and then an actor got paid to say "fongers."
Mason - Manson, makes sense. Fingers - Fongers...WTF? And then a bone-in fonger and a Caesar fonger.... Is this supposed to be funny? Is the next sketch going to be about chocolate molk?

Cf is my son. I'm ss
There's like 4 CC's , im ss. Idk who ribeye is I don't think
You don't even have it right. It's a Diet Dr. Fonger for Caesar Mango.
Pretty please, with sugar on top, HIRE SOME NEW DAMN WRITERS who are actually decent!!!
Sketch seems to have been written by some third graders.
Amen
The only actual funny ones are the ones written by Please Don’t Destroy and all their actual funny cast members are gone except Keenan.
Is that Dakota ? ❤😂
Lorne said f^ck it, we’re out of time, let’s go with it.
I feel like we got fongered having to watch this disaster. What. What is going on?????
In the year 2525, archaeologists are still trying to find the joke in this one.

What a dumb policy. Were they trying to invite more customer complaints?
What a stupid rule. There’s nothing I hate more than when servers don’t write down our order. They forget a dish every time!
Dude, I write everything down. It makes the customers feel more at ease I think.
Paper trail. Smart.
It can be really helpful for when you get difficult customers too!
@@chi15800 im sorry but I don’t believe that for a second. Not unless it was the easiest table of 14 ever.
This would never happen at Tarazano’s
crowd was like "YAY ITS OVER"
This is terrible. Does anyone under 35 know who the Manson family was?
I like this one. We all have had those kind of waiters at some point.
Did Lorne sign off on this sketch? Was he out sick the day this sketch was approved?
bring back madtv
Is necessary to joke about that child 😅
Something is off about this sketch but I can't quite put my fonger on it.
6/10
@@andyt1974 You're being too generous but I'll take it 🙏🏻
Okay but this actually made me laugh
now I want shrimp scampi
Must be a slow day in the SNL writers room.
A slow day? How about "we're running out of time and we need something/anything right NOW!"
I mean...chicken fongers is pretty close. She goes to the kitchen and asks for chicken fongers, she'll get chicken fingers to bring back.
My face during this entire sketch 😐
I enjoyed the drawing at the end
Why does Dakota Johnson look a lot like Tina Fey in this sketch???
It's the cheekbones
She drew the hell
Outta her 😂
Damn, just when I thought they were getting better. I'm gonna go rewatch some sketches with Emma Stone
I was screaming laughing & then I went to the comments & everyone was hating it? Wild!
Same! You're not alone, I thought it was great! I love a little bit of goofy humor.
Hilarious! Sarah Sherman is frickin gold
I love her!! Sometimes we need a little bit of goofy humor that offends no one and is just confusing and chaotic
THIS WAS BAAAAAAADDDDDDD
Well. we got through it everybody, This premise was a million times funnier when Kevin Nealon did it way back when
I'm glad everyone in the comment section think the same thing.
Ok but covering the kid's eyes when they showed the drawing was pretty funny
As was his expression when Sarah accused him of staring at her breasts.
… woke has killed funny… my god…

I see the public sentiment, but I still laughed throughout
I know! Don't understand why everyone hates it so much, maybe I have a weird sense of humor lol.
This is carbon monoxide.
Haha Chicken Fongers
I know a lot of people didn't like this one but for my effed up humor this is GOLD

Maybe, they don't like Sarah Sherman or something, but personally, I like her.
a new phrase is hitting he english language..."chicken fongers"
This sketch fell flatter than the "rack" which the child was supposedly staring at.
Diet Dr. Advil for the little gay! I PEED 🤣
They can’t all be More Cowbell, guys. Jesus 😂
This skit is giving me anxiety because I genuinely think these waitresses are having a stroke
Even Kenan couldn’t save this one.
This feels like the type of random sketch that would have killed back in the 90’s with Will Ferrell, Rachel Dratch, Chris Parnell, and Molly Shannon.
You guys clearly don't get this sketch. It's funny because the servers can't remember their orders and then Sarah Sherman sits at the table WITH the people she is supposed to be serving! Then she makes funny faces to show you it's funny.
SNL never fails to spread laughter.
Now will you please all wash your hands?
Thanks for not spreading the virus.
Whered you get those emojis?
In the waitress' defense, the little guy was staring at her rack.
Fire whoever wrote this.
My little gay will only eat chicken fongers too.
God that was bad
"Let's keep repeating the word "fongers", it'll be HILARIOUS" - the writers, apparently
This happened to me the other day, except the waitress got everything exactly right and perfect 👍
whenever anyone would ask me "aren't you going to right it down" i'd quickly reply "don't jinx me" which usually got the rest of table on my side and somehow shifted the responsibility of any possible mistakes onto the asker.
also i think getting sassy felt like doubling down which probably gave me a little edge on cementing the order to memory
chicken fongers lol
This looks very unrehearsed imo. Every actor is blatantly staring at their lines off to the side
Wanted to write a comment about the writers of this sketch, but apparently everyone else already did 😂.
How did this make it past table read?
Those two waitresses worked as surgeons before.
This was hilarious to me.. calling a kid gay and offering him a juul pod 😂😂
LOL just to be clear. Juul does not have a mango pod and has not had it for years...😅
This is the type of sketch that enforces stand up comics views on how crappy improv is.
It's not improv, though, it's scripted.
Seems like I'm the only one that like this sketch
You're not alone! Im sad to see how many people hate fun things though lol
So much potential unmet
I'm sleep deprived rn, and I laughed out loud at this.
Was that the kickoff sketch? SNL, love ya, but c'mon.
That 'setting evening' backdrop in the sketch very relaxing, however ❤😊
There's a gas-leak in the studio. Turns out the whole season didn't happen!
If Dan Aykroyd shouted "Chee-burger, Chee-burger, Chee-burger!" in a dirty white t-shirt and apron from the kitchen, I'd have lost it... ;-P
That's too clever for these writers.
That doesn’t even look like Dakota!!! WTH?
Scooby shampooey for me!
Heheheh
I'd rather watch 4 minutes of James Austin Johnson doing impressions.
Yes.
Ok I see I'm not alone here.
I miss Sherman doing that Entertainment reporter for Weekend Update.
This sketch has been done on SNL before and so much better
No kidding! Anyone ever heard of Califongers? Wake up, sherpas!
Wow. Will there be a support group for all of us after this sketch?
Wait why did everyone dislike this sketch, I loved it.
Because it's not funny. Kenan's small part was the only thing I got a slight chuckle out of.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAWhumor is subjective and also shut up
I did too! That's so weird. Also why did so many people look up the sketch on YT if they hate it so much lmao

"and a mango Juul pod for the little guy?" 😂😂
i fucking love sarah sherman so much
Yesss
thought they were gonna move in the direction of everyone changes their order to fit the waiter's but I guess there's just no way out of this huh
Yeah, if they purposefully said the wrong order to get her to say the right order back. that would've been funny
How did this sketch get approved? The audience was even confused on when to laugh.
If someone doesn't launch a Chicken Fongers franchise after this, the entrepreneurial spirit is dead.
We definitely need this
The Sister Fingers restaurant in Alabama.
we shall call it Meat de Fongers
Gotta admit, the Mango Juul joke made me chuckle.
Yikes, It has not been a good 2024 kick-off for SNL
I don't know why, but I was laughing too much
