@@mena94x3 That depends on what you want to believe. It's possible that he saw Worf's face last and died without his eyes having closed while his head fell to the side in a position facing Dakota. Since this wasn't an actual death, and it wasn't really acted to perfection in order to be convincing of anything, one can imagine anything one likes. You can imagine that he was still alive and Dakota was his last visual. Or you can imagine what I suggested as an alternative. The real question is... was the character the one looking at Dakota and smiling... or was the actor? Because I'm pretty sure that smile was a character break... and if so... it doesn't qualify as "accurate" to the intended scene.
I was disappointed he didn't have the big Klingon sword doesn't every super fan have that or was it just my nerdy friends growing up?? extra ironically the friend I'm thinking of is a doctor
Sure, that's what all crybabies say. I'm a Klingon, (to butt hair) screaming cuz I'm being removed! Nooooo!!!! I want to make you smelly and gross!!! Whaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
@@Salsuero Yeah, SNL cast aren't very good actors, unfortunately. If they don't relate to the content, they don't even try. They just stand around acting embarrassed. Pretty lame.
Keenan is totally a Trekkie. He did those things way too well to have just looked it up online. Those skills come from years of paying close attention to Picard and his crew.
Considering how Klingons spend a few hours in makeup chairs and SNL has rushed skits, that is either a fine makeup job in a hurry, or Kenan was prepared a while back and this was his first skit of the night.

Well, that's kind of the essence of situation comedy--the writers create a situation, and the comedy evolves from it. The problem with this sketch--and aren't we being cute by saying there's only one?--is that it's entirely self-referential for the writer. Whoever it was thought it would be hilarious if Worf, a character who famously struggled to empathize with humans in spite of his upbringing, from a race that consider medicine a crutch for the weak, was an ER physician. As far as absurdist setups go, it isn't the worst one ever, but its probably pretty close. I'm a lifelong Trek fan with a fair amount of knowledge and enjoyment for the source material, and I wouldn't go near a convention if you paid me because those people tend to be nitpicky deep lore fascists that suck all the fun out if it because to them, it's better to think they're right than enjoy what they love. What would've had far more potential is a skit where an impeccably costumed Worf at a convention constantly lets down other fans by knowing nothing about it, just saying he's there for his wife. Again, more POTENTIAL--as Paul F. Thompkins rightly points out in his stand-up, if something is inherently funny, it is relatable after the fact. But this? This isn't something you could tell other people about the next day at work, like Kate McKinnon's character in the UFO abduction skits, e.g..This is just a desperate, anemic attempt at homage from a writer unable to recognize that Worf hasn't had pop culture traction for about 20 years, so the frame of reference is nonexistent for pretty much the entire audience.
Most sketch comedy has one or more ‘straight men’ to react to out of the ordinary occurrences and their reactions are modulated for comedic effect. A lot of Monty Python’s Flying Circus is like this.
Picard: "Mr. Worf, I'm assigning you to sickbay while Dr. Crusher is ill." Worf: "But, captain, I'm not trained..." Picard: "You will report to your post immediately!" Worf: "Aye, sir." *Many flatlining yellowshirts later* Worf: *Angry Klingon roar* "I'M A TERRIBLE SICKBAY DOCTOR!"
You're husband must not like being naked... or he didn't want anyone else to have the pleasure of seeing YOU naked. I'm almost certain he didn't want to see your parents naked, let alone his own! Probably didn't wanna pop a stiffy while trying NOT to look at your brides maids... or to have to replace all the dudes on his side with bigger units with secondary options. I suppose I can empathize with him. LOL
@@lynnwest4307 If I get married someday, I would like to find a wife willing to be married aboard a ship by its captain. We will be wearing clothes, though.
When Pete walks in and says "WORF!"
That got me
It got all of us
Ha ha ha ha ha
Lmao he was so high pitched xD
Yeah okay cool sure that’s great
This may not be their best sketch but the surprised "Worf" as Pete enters the room gets me everytime.
Lol same. That was literally the only part I thought was funny
@@CassTeaElle Agreed. A shame the whole sketch couldn't be that good.
It’s not their best, but I mean I wouldn’t be opposed to more skits like this
"What does that mean?"
"He dead"
Just like Worf would say
Come on Worf rocks
Dakota trying to hold her laughter as she pictured Worf's face being the last thing a dying old man would see, now that's priceless
anyone else notice Taran smiling at Dakota after his character died? tbh that only made it funnier
If she's what I saw on the way out, I'd smile too!
That, and when the granddaughter asked if Worf’s face was the last thing her grandfather saw, it’s a lie. Dakota’s face was the last thing he saw.

Damián "el Salsuero" - perhaps.
Nah. He and Leslie were laughing with each other.
When Keenan came in I thought he was going to say: "It is a good day to operate"!
That would have been much better than anything Keenan said during the entire sketch.
warpnin3
You mean DIE
I woulda Laughed
I was disappointed he didn't have the big Klingon sword doesn't every super fan have that or was it just my nerdy friends growing up?? extra ironically the friend I'm thinking of is a doctor
You should say that one in your own video skit hahahahahahaha
@@ashleyburbank3129 Yes, many Trekkies have a Bat'leth replica in their collection.
1:36 Leslie and Taran making each other break in that death scene is so silly I love it.
The roar is a Klingon thing. It's to warn the next world that a warrior is on his way.
Right, we know that... but the joke was that he didn't even know why he was doing it, even though he knew to do it.
Sure, that's what all crybabies say. I'm a Klingon, (to butt hair) screaming cuz I'm being removed! Nooooo!!!! I want to make you smelly and gross!!! Whaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Yes but first he must look into the dead klingons eyes by spreading his eyelids open with his fingers.....or so I've heard...lol
@@Salsuero Yeah, SNL cast aren't very good actors, unfortunately. If they don't relate to the content, they don't even try. They just stand around acting embarrassed. Pretty lame.
So how much of your time, exactly, do you spend watching Startrek recordings?
As a Taiwanese dude, who's also a major Trekkie 🖖, with a major crush on Dakota 😍... this skit had me smiling like a dumb boy all the way through! 😂
"look at me!"
"I can't...you look soo stupid"
got me once..
patient dies, "wooooorrrgh"
got me twice, and i died.
I really appreciate kenan Thompson he's been giving me something to laugh about most most of my life
I think it's waaay past time we put him in the "National Treasure" pile lol
I really liked the sketch and would have even without the perfect break, "Look at me!"
" ...I can't"
Too real
Super cute
I can't read more
That was super fake.
@@nealsterling8151 I think she broke for real there
This skit has parts only star trek fans would know. The yelling when someone does... Mentioning Stovokor etc. It's brilliant.
Charley Ghanem I gave it thumbs down.
@@steveleeart really eh? It was definitely meant for fans. SNL is hit and miss sometimes.
I agree, they largely blew it though.
@@charleyghanem3003 - I'm a fan but while the skit started with a funny premise, they largely lost it halfway.
Charley Ghanem
Yeah. Whoever wrote this is definitely a real fan.
Lol Taran's face when he's dying
Masqerader 🤣🤣🤣
After he "died" he was smiling
0:46 I'm living for Leslie's face 😂😂😂
"Here you go, Alf"
Keenan is totally a Trekkie. He did those things way too well to have just looked it up online. Those skills come from years of paying close attention to Picard and his crew.
Oh, if he were a Trekkie, "as we say in my family" would have been followed by a quote in Belarusian!
Pete’s high pitched “worf!” 😂😂
When he starts speaking... "Was that Klingon?" "No, I think it was Taiwanese." I laughed until I cried 😭 🤣
Why did he get a voice modulator that makes him sound _less_ like Worf?
Set modulators to Kermit.
ovinophile sounded more like Marvin the Martian to me.
Wait... how do you make Italics?
Duke T. Wouldn’t you like to know *weather boy*
If you heard his actual voice, you'd understand, human.
"I AM WORF, SON OF MOGH!"
I love Kenan so much.
The Warf cosplay was really good. The call back to TNG with the roar... nice touch. Haha.
Nurse: Here you go, “Alf”.
No it is Worf son of Mogh.
He’s dining with Kahless in Stovakor.
The homage to Leonard Nemoy got me 😭
Considering how Klingons spend a few hours in makeup chairs and SNL has rushed skits, that is either a fine makeup job in a hurry, or Kenan was prepared a while back and this was his first skit of the night.
i love that pete davidson's role was just going "WORF?!"
That patient had no honour!
I love Kenan Thompson. He just has to smile to crack me up.
my condolences to all Mr. Spock fans
RIP Leonard Nimoy
Kopal 13 thanks for spoiling my binge watching series
He was a good man!
“Cardiac Myopathy is a dish best served cold.”
Keenan can pull anything off. Hard to imagine who else could have made that work.
Fred Armisen
daww her breaking's adorables!
Oh come on. I was laughing, enjoying the show, and then they show that last image and I instantly start crying in the library.
That’s actually a pretty cool costume.
That look from Leslie Jones is priceless, and Kenan is a simply the best.
tfw you really liked a skit and then go and read the comments.. Guess I have bad taste..
I thought this sketch was hilarious
Don't worry. I liked it too.
Me too, this was hilarious
I thought the lines weren't that bad, but Keenans timing and delivery were kinda off mostly
I loved it!
3:09 As a Taiwanese, I have no idea what that means.
😂😂😂😂
Bruh he literally says what it means afterwards. Don't judge him if his pronunciation isn't perfect! >:(
PS: JK
Same, Taiwanese here too - that was obviously just gibberish 😂
Its Klingon lol not Taiwanese.
@@forreal22 gibberish? How dare you?
I love Kenan Thompson he's always so funny
"HE DEAD".
At least trekkies can enjoy the Nimoy tribute at the end ♡
Lifelong trekkie so I found it funny. And Spock at the end seemed like a fond farewell to Leonard Nimoy.
What the hell kind of accent is Keenan doing?! 😂
it reminds me of this ruclips.net/video/LkbWF-kDK8Y/видео.html
He's supposed to be doing an Indian accent
Klingon?
@@clarastallworth845 ohhhhhhh.
That's a Klingon trying to speak English through his Klingon voicebox.
Is that the hospital the Joker blew up?
They should have had a nurse walk by dressed as Joker.
Dr. Worf, M.D.
Coming this fall to NBC
Taran smirking at Leslie and breaking her as he died was great
Kenan is an American treasure.
0:46 Something tells me that this nurse is not impressed! 🤣🤣🤣

The nurse was the best thing about this skit. The pure confusion.
Picard: "Mr. Worf, I'm assigning you to sickbay while Dr. Crusher is ill."
Worf: "But, captain, I'm not trained..."
Picard: "You will report to your post immediately!"
Worf: "Aye, sir."
*Many flatlining yellowshirts later*
Worf: *Angry Klingon roar* "I'M A TERRIBLE SICKBAY DOCTOR!"
This post was actually better than the whole sketch.
Sanya Hikari now that would have been funny if they had like Patrick Stewart guest starring
@@blazerocker1734 This sketch is without honour.
One of those sketches that doesn't work at all, but because Dakota starts to break, the sketch get so much better.
You know that tightness you get in your stomach after laughing so hard. 😆
"We lost him!"
*corpse blinks immediately afterward*
As star trek fan from way back I can appreciate this🤣
You know a Trekkie wrote this. I wonder which writer on the staff wrote this.
Probably Pete, maybe Dakota lol
Isn’t Leslie the Trekkie?
Omg. That Klingon death roar was awesome for those of us who are a fan.
2:10 WORF 🤣 I love Pete Davidson
LOL I remember telling my ex-husband that I would like to have a traditional Betazoid wedding of course it never happened.

But seriously, that is most definitely not Taiwanese, and also not Klingon!
I dont know why everybodys hating this is one of the best sketches .. laughing all the way
Dakota Johnson can't stop laughing.. probably the only funny part of this skit :P
She's so pretty, such a distraction.
Lol if you're a trekki this was the funniest thing ever!
I think it makes the sketch better, since Kenan does look and sound ridiculous.
Actually I'm pretty sure it's in character because she's supposed to be laughing at how stupid he looks.
There was plenty else funny.
geeking out on all the TNG references lol
SAME 🤣
The worf spin-off series trekkies never knew they needed.
"Here you go ALF" hahah
I like how when keenan says "we lost him" you can you see the patient smirking
I would've cracked up if he said "Perhaps today is a good day to die!" after the grandfather died
Kenan is far great of an artist for this sketch.
I would love it if my Dr came into my room dressed as Worf!
my mother is admitted in hospital during christmas time, if I see somebody dressed as santa here I’d lose it
This skit pleases me more now that I am a Trekkie.
This sketch is wicked brilliant!
Everyone can’t stop laughing 😂
“Bring them to meee !!!”😂😂😂😂
That roar though lol
As an ancient ICU/ER nurse this is hysterical and if you only knew. Philadelphia USA
Oh I love seeing breaks. Missed them
😂😂😂😂 lmao I love kenan
"was your face the last thing he saw" 😂 😂 😂
Lmao Pete *"Worf?!"*
All right. Dakota's smile and laugh was sooooo cute..
This is what I would like to see at the free clinic. A serious doctor dressed as Worf.
I come back to this when I think of death because I really hope when my time comes it’s something like what Taran and Leslie had.
Almost missed the best line. "Here ya go, Alf."
LOVE IT.
Dakota is so cute ❤
"He is weak! Give him an honorable death by combat!"
This is like a Bait and Switch sketch. They start with one idea and then change it and it's just carried through by the charm of the actors.
As soon as Keenan case through the door I screamed. 😂
Join at the next episode when doctor worf says...
where did i stick my blade of honours ???
Welcome to the Muppet Show..
*"He dead"* 😂😂😂
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A "STAR TREK"!
I'm a doctor...I find this very very very funny 🙂
A ferret doctor?
Phil Hartman: "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a doctor! Oh, I mean-"
For a live show and probably 90 seconds to get into makeup... that is a good makeup job! 😎
This was my favorite Kenan skit.
I love Kenan's accent a lot .😘😘😘😘
Why am I only seeing this now in 2020!?😂 “...was your face the last thing our grandfather saw before he died?”
Kenan Thompson! U Legend!!
I kept waiting for him to say about the body something like, "It is but a shell. You may dispose of it as you wish."
Worf, son of Mogh.
Of the House of Martok.
Slayer of Gowron.
Connoisseur of Prune Juice.
Kenan looks awesome as a Klingon!
