Actually it does make some sense because the kiss was actually non consensual as the pair had never met. In fact, I've read that the sailors girlfriend was in a restaurant near waiting for him or something. I studied a bit of the photographs history for a school paper and was really surprised to find this out so I thought I should share ☺️

Remember too that nurses were considered heroes by soldiers & sailors, so he saw the white uniform & kissed her.
@@jenniferrogers2492 kissing someone nonconsensually is sexual assault, there is no conflation. You cannot legally force someone to kiss you. The woman in that photo has said she felt trapped and violated by it.

"Okay Mikey we have an English actress on this week, you got any sketch ideas?" "Get me 2 pens and 2 pieces of paper" "Oh you've got an idea?" "I've just told you"
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SKETCHES!!!! I love Mikey Day in all of these. the way he always checks the back of the paper after the first letter always gets me.
Mikey Day is turning himself into one of the best to ever be on the show. This skit will be his SNL calling card. He's completely versatile, does multiple characters, and can do accents well. It will be interesting to see what path he goes down after SNL.
@@robertgibson3315 Good observation. Keenan Thompson went sitcom. For them, it has to be huge, but I think it dulls them. The cast members over the past few years have been spectacular. I was watching the original NRFPT folks when young and have stuck with it most seasons. I just noted the incredible amount of talent that keeps showing up. I think it kicked up with Will Farrell but many would argue this or that. It's hard to mention just one current cast name without immediately thinking of another. Mikey Day pulled off one of the funniest ever with the "Space Lab" skit with Steve Carrell. There are a few skits that brought tears when first seen, ( Pete Sweaty and his Christmas Balls), and the "Space lab " skit was certainly one of those...
Were aliens responsible for Operation Overlord? Did they help using a pyramid and space lasers? Tune in at... whenever because let’s be honest, you are only going to watch this randomly while high.
They have been my absolute favorite since they started in 2018. This one and the one with Keenan are my favorites. I watch them over and over again because they never fail to cheer me up and make me laugh when I need it. Stop sending me cocaine!
I’d like to think these men with initially unresponsive wives to their plights in the military are all from the same lineage, destined to follow this similarly humorous yet devistatingly confusing cycle
So how many other people noticed that the trumpet is playing “What a Friend We Have Jesus?” lol. And I love the alliteration he uses when signing his letters.
It’s like Gone Girl if the entire novel was a period drama told back and forth through the couple’s weird, disturbing, and concerning letters to each other.
It has been some time since I have seen a SNL show as good as this one. Cary Mulligan was so involved that she deserves much of the credit. She is more than a serious actor, she is funny as well.
ruclips.net/video/xNnM4Yyc_C8/видео.html Try these if you haven't seen them. Hysterical. Kate McKinnon is brilliant. I can't believe she left the show.
This is by far my favourite series of sketches. Each one has a bit that I actually giggle about when I recall them. The photo that WW1 wife sends and the lock of hair from the WW2 wife played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Long may it continue.
I fucking love this sketch. You never know where the diamonds are going to come from in it. "Mary! YOU HAVE SENT ME COCAINE!" is good enough to make John Mulaney go "Damn, wish I'd written that."
@@nathanwatson1915 as you laugh at 90 percent of what he writes without knowing it.. .. I can agree his stand up and writing skills are better than his sketch performances.. And I think Mikey is better on set at snl..
This skit is even funnier in a way because it pays homage to her own real grandfather’s naval service in the Royal Navy during WW2. I just saw her in a documentary about her researching her grandfather’s naval service last night.
I love these skits so much and I was so excited to see another one! I can relate, with how many paragraphs I’ve texted to guys and they just use the last sentence to answer 🥲😂 these honestly make me laugh every time
Mikey Day ALWAYS kills this. The way he says ALARMED and CONCERNED always get me.
As a British guy, I love his accent.
@@Grayvorn He slipped back to American accent when he said _alarmed_ .
@@RaymondHng hah! Good point.
The way his voice goes up! 🤣🤣
Yeah def. love Mikey Day’s alarmed acting; and then going back to make sure he heard it right🤣
I’m so happy this sketch is still going
Same! But they've only done it with British women hosts.
Me too! I love it!
@@Larez121 that’s the point I think :)
Agreed. I get excited every time I see an SNL History Channel sketch.
@@Larez121 they have a civil war version too ruclips.net/video/KFj6qnfEBns/видео.html
Poor James/William/Bertie. Every time he reincarnates into a new life he not only ends up fighting in a new war, but also learns he married another lunatic as well.
I'm going to write a military character called James William Bertie, and in a perfect world have Mikey Day play them.
One was in WW1, the other two were both WW2. So, that doesn't add up

You mean poor Trenton/James/William/Bernie. Trenton was from the Civil War.
Whatever happened to the dog? 🤣
Mikey Day has mastered the "increasingly panicked" genre of acting.. love this series
MARY!!!! lol
"Quit putting shit on us, David Blaine!" 😆
This is one of my favorite recurring sketches
I was hoping they'd do it the week Maya hosted, since the first time I saw it was on the show she did with Martin and Mikey
Totally agree
it’s a snoozer for me
Automatic like before even watching it.
Mine too
I love how he ends every letter differently:
"Alarmed in the Atlantic, Bertie" lol
I’m rewatching it to pay notice to them all better, it’s a funny touch to the skit for sure
U sure abt that
That was one of my favorite parts!!
Mary, you have sent me COCAINE !! LOL
He really likes alliteration
“I meant a racy photo, not an illegal narcotic!” I died. 🤣🤣
Stop using cocaine!

@anonymous. I’m a history teacher and I had no clue about this! Thanks for teaching the teacher. 😂😂
They teased me with that “knock knock” joke. Damnit, Mary!
I thought he'd ask "who's there" about something unrelated and she'd resume the joke.
@@Evija3000 I wonder if her reply would've been 'Doctor'.

It's funny how SNL does this sketch each time there's a British host who can pull off a yesteryear wig.
They also did one with Maya Rudolph IIRC
And one with Jen Lawrence

Love Mikey Day's panicked-calm. Haha.
Hi Matt!👋
I guess his bride was little naughty while he was away... plus she might have killed his parents

"Get me 2 pens and 2 pieces of paper"
"Oh you've got an idea?"
"I've just told you"
They needed a cheap skit to make up for the expensive star trek set.
This is a reoccurring sketch. He’s done it a few times over the past few years
its a pen and a pencil
He had a pencil, yet the letters all appear to be in pen. Hmmmm.
I swear they can't resist coming back to this sketch every time they have an English actress.
True... I've always appreciated this skit but THIS ONE..I think is the best
@@agrayson12 I think Phoebe Waller-Bridge had better comic timing but the jokes in this one might be on par if not better.
I’d love to see them do it with Jodie Comer, if she ever hosts
Claire Foy was okay.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SKETCHES!!!! I love Mikey Day in all of these. the way he always checks the back of the paper after the first letter always gets me.
My FAVORITE continuing sketch. Mikey Day is hilarious as the ever-increasing bewildered and alarmed husband.
The absurdity is so great, Mikey is so earnest and holds it together very well. This is a good recurring sketch!
I love this silly ass skit. The first letter back from Mary’s triflin ass always gets me. It’s the “yes” for me😂😂😂
"my dear mary after all these letters my back feels weary. Such is the pain of carrying It for the both of us.
Once I noticed, I could not unsee how Carey’s pen did not once touch the paper when she was writing her letters
Yup! It bothered me so much. Mikey’s writing was great.
I took it she was re-reading the letter and scanning over what she’d written
@@mooniemuk That could be an explanation except she DGAF about what she writes to Bertie. She wouldn’t spend a sec looking over what she wrote.
I had to scroll for a while to find this comment. Was totally distracted the whole time thinking: lady put the pen to the paper! Please.
Haha same, Phoebe Waller-Bridges didn’t either but Claire Foy did.

I like the original one the best from Maya and Marty. Mikey was a union soldier during the Civil War, writing to his wife played by Maya Rudolph.

She finally got to use her English accent in one of the skits.
@Cerulean Blu she actually got to use her regular voice. 🙂
It’s great to appreciate some favorite sketches when they don’t turn up as often. Spot on with this one!
One of my favorite repeating sketches from SNL these days.
Love how they are bringing back deep cut skits like this.
It took a while for Mikey Day to grow on me, but as I rewatch these, I can’t help but appreciate what an excellent writer/actor he is!
Surely one of the best most well written sketches of Snl
“You know what? Screw it! I’m actually gonna do this.....”🤣

Perfect sketch for Mikey Day. Funniest sketch of the night.

These sketches always make me laugh so hard! 😂😂 Mikey is brilliant in them!
I have been waiting for a new one of these War In Words for so long! 👏
I love how low effort Carey Mulligan’s fake writing is with her pen a full inch off the paper lmao
I cannot get enough of this recurring bit. Mikey Day is an unsung hero of this cast.
Just saw Carey Mulligan in "Promising Young Woman." WOW.

Always approve and appreciate alliterations :-)
