I gave up on SNL a while back but this proves Aubrey's talent that she is so good, she can make it funny again. In all seriousness, I think she is probably one of the most underrated people out there. She is so quirky yet can pull off a serious role, comedy, psycho...pretty much anything without issue. This was her first appearance on SNL but I hope it's not her last.
@@GreenLine4444 - I used to love SNL years ago but when they stopped making fun of both sides of the political isle and became very left-leaning, it just really became unfunny. I have no problem poking fun of politicians and presidents...but it needs to go both ways. And if you look at the older SNL skits where they make fun of Bush and Clinton...and then contrast that to Trump, it's entirely different (and unfunny). And when they had many opportunities to fun on people on the left and still chose to do the same tired skits about Trump, it was painfully obvious they abandoned "fun" for "narrative". It was only recently they even dared poke fun at Biden and Harris...but those skits have an entirely different tone than the Trump skits. That is why I disagree about your comment about them being funny for many years. Not true for me. How long have you been watching SNL? I like the old original cast but my favorite was in the early 90's. Ferrell, Farley, Sandler, Hartman, Kattan...those were the peak years for me. In my opinion, it seemed their budget got bigger but the laughs got smaller around 2010. And aside from the obvious talent of Kristen Wiig, Kenan Thompson, and Kate McKinnon, the more modern cast was forgettable. Anyway, that's my take. And if they decide to focus more on other "funny" stuff instead of politics, it may be funny once again. But in my viewership, it used to always be funny with some skits not so great...but in the last 10 years, it's been the other way around with most skits not so great with an occasionally funny one. I loved this one with Aubrey...hopefully she comes back and hosts again some day.
@@dewrus2153 They've had a great cast for the last several years. And as far as them making fun of the right leaning/GOP-Republicans, that's because of the way the Republicans are now. They deserve to be made fun of. Donald Trump going around constantly lying about almost everything, and implying people should ingest bleach to fight the coronavirus, leaving a sick trail of scared Republicans in his wake. And the few responsible Republicans who do stand up to him, like Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger, the Republican party drives them off. Then there's Herschel Walker, who can barely string together a competent sentence. And when he does, that sentence is full of lies. Roy Moore, dating 14 year old girls. And now there's George Santos, he tells so many lies he is basically a pathological liar, even lying about his own mother dying in 9/11. And Ron DeSantis, walking garbage who is no better than Trump. Saturday Night Live is not making fun of Republican officials for simply being Republican - there would be no logic in that. They are making fun of them due to their questionable behavior, their idiocy in many situations, and their never wavering support of lies. Saturday Night Live also makes fun of Democrats when they do idiotic things. You just see more Republicans as the brunt of jokes because they have done way more idiotic things and shown some racist behavior since Trump came into politics in 2016. And why complain about SNL when there are lots of right-leaning media out there, including a whole network, Fox. If anyone doesn't like SNL being left-leaning, they don't have to watch it. Because I can assure you, I don't watch right-leaning media and TV shows full of lies. If I see anything with that garbage of a human Tim Allen on it, I turn the channel immediately. So my point is you don't have to watch SNL if you think they're too left-leaning; but obviously you are watching it, maybe because you do enjoy it. Republicans are being made fun of on SNL because they have allowed themselves to go down a lying, cheating, manipulative, trying-to-overthrow-the-government, bleach-drinking path who doesn't care how many mass shootings America sees, they still won't do anything about gun control. But yet they claim to love human life so much. In the future, if Democrats ever allow themselves to go down such a path, I am 100% sure SNL would be making fun of them too. They already make fun of Democrats, it's just that Republicans have grabbed most of the limelight when it comes to trashy behavior - Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert anyone. Besides, some of us like the political humor on SNL which is why we watch. So next time you think SNL is too left-leaning, remember there are organizations that counter that, like The New York Post, Drudge Report, Breitbart, The Hill, AZ Republic, and the biggest one of them, Fox.
@@ricardotramirez This whole thing.. Aubrey being a total psycho, with Ego and Heidi's faces looking at her, was damn hilarious, then when she imitated the kid I was on the floor. I laughed out loud even remembering it on my way to bed.
This was my favorite sketch in the episode. Aubrey and Mikey were great, the reactions from everyone else weren't overdone, good weird energy, and it mostly built to a decent finish.
Mikey Day is quietly great, and versatile as all get out. This lovely hapless new neighbor, DT Jr to Alex Moffat's Eric, one of Mr David S. Pumpkin's entrancing sidekicks - and he's a writer too. Rock on Mikey Day!
When playing taboo, the person giving clues needs to sit next to someone from another team who can double check that they aren't saying any of the taboo words on the card. So Mikey would move to sit next to Heidi so she can see the card and hit the buzzer if he messes up
@@highroller-jq3ix you're right, there's nothing dark about a person who would immediately guess "cars" to a Taboo question about stealing from hotels then telling someone to choke them.
@@absoluteterror9098 You're right, something that you didn't mention at all justifies a dopey-ass comment that is just sort of pointless and non-apt, especially considering that there is no evidence to indicate that the material was customized to her particular sense of humor.
You just know a comedian has range if they’re in literally all of the sketches. Like I expected her to be great at SNL, but she absolutely rocked. Wow.
I haven't lost it this hard over awkward SNL characters since Kristen Wiig's over-excited Sue who loves surprise parties. Aubrey's enthusiastic awkwardness *kiiiilled* it. "Just do me on this ugly couch, right now!" through clenched teeth had me crying. Love it! More, please!
@@birdsascarnage Oh darn! If it doesn't come up when you search for it in the RUclips search field, you may need to reset your region on your VPN settings. Hope you enjoy it!
LOL I love how they weren't concerned at all by the answers but they WANTED the real answer, and then just continued like it was normal LOL Mikey Day and Aubrey Plaza are such a great duo
Usually there's maybe one sketch that's good each week lately, but Aubrey killed it. They all did! I was skeptical when some of the cast left cause I thought it was the best snl cast in a while, but i can't wait to watch and enjoy!
I am sorry we missed out on all of that fun but I really enjoyed her character on Criminal Minds and I doubt we would have got that if she had made the SNL cast.
that one SNL sketch that will never be annoying, i could watch this every day😂😂 humour is so on point, aubrey plaza fits perfect for this, i love everything about it
I love that Aubrey isn't afraid to make fun of everyone's perceptions of how strange she is. I'm almost positive she wasn't on fire when she met her real-life Husband.
2:47 This is unforgivable! I don't know if SNL censored itself or RUclips did, but the subtitle writes "Touch me," when the dialogue is clearly "Choke me."
Subtitles are either handled by the creator manually or they are auto generated by youtube. It's not a censor, just a computer miss hearing a word, like the do all the time.
Is it weird that I wished this skit went longer?! Aubrey Plaza playing psycho is beyond entertaining. 🤣
It definitely was too short.
@@randalpierce8406 just like Garbage
It was super cringe; I was glad when it ended! But that means it was a good sketch because it really pushed every button.
We gripe about the skits going on too long and so they cut the good ones off too soon.
PLaying?
"High five" followed by the "choke me" got me howling 🤣
That was my absolute favorite
"Trump me"
Did yall notice she was also choked in the new chucky movie. I think she really is into it.
@@juan.zabala "top me"

MUCH longer

This was my favorite sketch in the episode. Aubrey and Mikey were great, the reactions from everyone else weren't overdone, good weird energy, and it mostly built to a decent finish.
Me too! Came looking for this comment cuz yep, everything you said 😄
They barely showed anybody reacting. That would have made it funnier I think. I bet Kenan reaction was hilarious.
@@MrGenexxx Agree (we mostly saw Heidi), but the direction hasn't been great lately so maybe it's for the best they didn't cut away too much.

Was probably so the actor could see the queue cards
@@smokeytaboo1756 I thought that, too, but if you look at Aubrey throughout the whole sketch, it's obvious that there are cue cards on both sides.

Not always... Halle Berry was only in like, three or four. One of which was the office Secret Santa.

And repeated "on" each time, which helped the joke land. Yeah he was great support in this. Oh man the states in alphabetical order!

This is a solid sketch... great performances. "don't say 'wildin'"
This is the greatest sketch yet this season. It's got that ol' "SNL" flavor to it. I could picture this being done in the 70s and it would be funny.
the slight delay before Aubrey screams “YES!” to the “garbage!” answer got me good for some reason
SNL nailed this skit....the writers, performers, cast and crew...everything!! I laughed sooo hard!!!

YES. MA'AM.

Such an unexpected punchline
By far the best skit of the night!
Damn really ? that’s disappointing because most of the stretches tonight aren’t that great.
Why I said by far the best. I laughed so hard at the acid, ketamine (parole, fire) lines while watching..
Along with the Black Lotus skit
A great use of “skip”. 😂
writing and acting in this one is perfect
What state are you not allowed back to? When she finally said "Skip!" 🤣🤣🤣
Aubrey Killed it tonight! 😁
Uh, the dog! The neighbors' dog! The rabbit! The orchid! The mood! Arrrgh.
"Skip"! Iconic.
Comedic timing is incredible!
OMG 😋😋... that was a big round of INTENSE!

😛😜😅
Best sketch I've seen in this episode so far. Great use of Aubrey's brain and everything Lololol

"It was so dumb. We were young and crazy. We were in our 30s." Truth.
Aubrey should already be in the five-timers club.
Would gladly watch her host four more times.
Or an actual cast member. She auditioned for SNL in 2008.
Ain't that the truth.
I am sorry we missed out on all of that fun but I really enjoyed her character on Criminal Minds and I doubt we would have got that if she had made the SNL cast.
I want Mae Whitman on SNL too.
The progression of butter knife! ...ungh!... steak knife! ...uNgH!... butcher knife! ... UNGH!!🤣
This was the best episode of SNL I’ve seen in years!!
Hard hitting linebacker writing
Love it the best
'Just do me on this ugly couch right now' 😂🤣
Despite all the dark jokes, this one got me lol
Love how Mikey always plays the wholesome neighbor / husband. So fitting lmao
“You always steal these from hotels”
CARS.
I don't watch SNL much anymore, but Aubrey rocked and cracked me up in this one. Choke Me! Lol!!
This sketch is a contender for top 3 of the last decade
“okay choke me” caught me so off guard lol
Me too
#metoo hahaha😂
This is really good! Just seemed kind of short, though. Could've definitely watched more of psycho new neighbor Aubrey playing Taboo!
It was exactly as long as it needed to be, which is fundamental to its greatness.
I was surprised when it ended, but SNL has enough skits that are too long that I salute them for erring on the side of short.
simple enough script, but executed wonderfully
I think it’s so nice that these people not only know their neighbor’s names but spend more than one minute a year talking to each other.
that one SNL sketch that will never be annoying, i could watch this every day😂😂 humour is so on point, aubrey plaza fits perfect for this, i love everything about it
This was probably the funniest bit a seen in forever. Every minute was awesomeness.
“Help me out here babe!” 😂😂😂
There's always at least one sketch per episode that is just genuinely funny. This is the one for this week
I love that Aubrey isn't afraid to make fun of everyone's perceptions of how strange she is. I'm almost positive she wasn't on fire when she met her real-life Husband.
Definitely on ketamine though I’d wager
Emphasis on "almost"
She is a lovely kind of weird and I like it.
“Ok choke me!” Took me out 😂
They knocked this out of the park lol it was too short haha when they said tiny tim and garbage I was rolling
Just naming the states in alphabetical order 😂
this was one of their better sketches - kudos to the writer of this one
One of the funniest sketches of the night!
Dark humor is the best!!!
This one really had me laughing.
Our daughter 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
this feels so rich and like snl’s old energy i love it😭😭😭
Relationship goals 😍🥰☠️
"just do me on this ugly couch right now"---- 💀
Genius premise for a comedy sketch.
Aubrey Plaza’s talents excel. “Remember where in public” 😂
I was expecting her to say, “Psh! Yeah like that’s ever stopped me.”
"do me right now on this ugly couch" 😂😂😂
Home run! Mikey and Aubrey absolutely killed it!
That “High five!” ...
“Choke me!” 🤣🤣
Heidi's face at 3:02 🤣🤣🤣

Ketamine Parole and Fire? Found my soulmate
That "oooo" from Aubrey killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Very good acting.
That was legitimately hilarious
"YES... High 5.. Choke me!" Comedy gold!!!!
The daughter part… she nailed it.
1. Ketamine 2. Parole 3. Fire 4. All of the above.
Tbh I'd love them as neighbours. They sound VERY interesting!
This skit was one of the funniest of the year
THE BEST GUEST HOST IN A LONG TIME!
That is some of the best work I have ever seen her do! Phenomenal!
One of the best in a while...up there with the alien abduction ones
The "Newbs" line was funny
"Help me out." "Skip!"
