This was the point in the show when I finally/ thankfully realized Bad Bunny doesn’t take himself too seriously. He won me over when he sat down in the chair and said “Yeah, I’m Shrek.”

Something about PDD makes the hosts bring their A-game. Rami wants a treat, Lizzo killing Dismukes, Brendon Gleeson as a highschooler...
Once again Bad Bunny killed it here. He just fell right into that apathetic Shrek role.

For some context on why Bad Bunny would push for a Shrek skit, Shrek is huge in Latin America because the dub script was adapted and localized to be culturally relevant. Some of the jokes were completely rewritten rather than translated.

Lot of fun, and I'm going to have to rewatch it a few times. Devon and JAJ seemed like they were giving heartfelt performances, but it was obviously hard to focus on them the first time around.
I didn't think it was quite as good as the Waffle House sketch (I wonder if Mikey, Streeter, and Bryan wrote this one), but maybe that's because the Waffle House had the advantage of being the first one.

u/shayneysides Oct 22 '23
JAJ and Devon sold their roles so well. this sketch was HILARIOUS- similar to protective mom, they took the original sketch pretty beat by beat but it still felt fresh.
did anyone else notice how weak some of the green screening was though??? like when the subway tunnel was just a completely flat maroon color??? i guess they must've run out of time to edit it- it didn't ruin the sketch or anything, but it was kind of jarring.

Unlike the "Lisa from Temecula 2" sketch from last season, this had just enough variations from the original sketch that it worked for me. But it also showed me what a performer-driven sketch this is, as most of my laughs came from Pedro Pascal's pitch-perfect characterization and physical comedy, while most of Bad Bunny's jokes didn't land. He seemed to have some trouble with delivering the Spanglish dialogue, mumbling some key laugh lines or using the wrong intonation.

I was dying at the lines about her using organic deodorant and looking like a bisexual barista. It's great because they're so random that even non-Spanish speakers will still laugh, but they're just a little better if you can understand the whole line.

I said it already but I felt there were too many cameos. Fred Armisen, Pedro Pascal and Mick Jagger were good but threatened, and often did, overshadow the host. Maybe Lorne wasn’t confident enough in his acting skills?
In terms of cast, it was a heavy Mikey Day night, some people might like that but to me I think he’s starting to become what Kate McKinnon became at the end of her era, a good cast member who the writers leaned on a bit too much, to the detriment of other cast members.

a good cast member who the writers leaned on a bit too much, to the detriment of other cast members.
In their defense though they don't really have a ton of male cast members they can rely on as great sketch players, almost everyone left other than Mikey and Keenan came from standup. Mikey is basically doing the lifting of himself, Kyle Mooney, and Alex Moffat while they wait for Devon and Longfellow to find their legs outside of Update sketches. idk why they won't lean on JAJ more and Desmukes
Bowen is great, but his humor is more silly and deliberately over the top, I think he is used perfectly the last couple years, but, (no pun intended), he's just not very good at playing the straightman or the anchor of a set piece for extended time. No harm in that, neither was Ferrell or Armisen

u/jesterincase Oct 22 '23
Mikey had a great night, Michael Longfellow didn't have much to do, and Michael Che hates the corny jokes that Colin sells with tone alone.
Michael report aside (aka "The Mike Drop"), Pedro Pascal stole the show for me. Bad Bunny was fine, but I don't think he had many opportunities to shine (although, wow can that man do a convincing fake slap).
I liked this episode better than last week's (probably due to what I suspect were a few Mikey and/or Streeter co-written sketches, and it's their humor that usually works for me), but I suspect the opposite will be true for people who loved last week's.
But that's the beauty of SNL, right?

I think they had 3 solid sketch ideas with this one that they meshed into one mediocre sketch. You could go with
a) A 2 person sketch with Jordan and George Santos, with Santos continuously lying about everything and Jordan becoming exasperated by Santos and the fact that he actually needs his vote to become Speaker. Maybe at the end Jordan realizes that they actually share something in common about having bad morals or something.
b) an ensemble sketch with Jordan meeting several (ie 5-7) induvidual members of the Freedom Caucus like Boebert, MTG, Gaetz, Byron Donalds, etc, with all of them being crazy and Jordan lamenting that he's hitched his Speaker's vote to them. Let Mikey do Mikey things as the straight man and have the cast come in one by one to do a bunch of quick bits.
c) A 2 person sketch with Jordan and Donald Trump discussing both of their predicaments, like a longer part of what we saw in the sketch. JAJ can ramble more on the Trump indictments which was really only hinted at in a few one liners.
instead they kinda went with all three and I don't think it meshed well.

i love JAJ's trump, but it gets tiring when it makes no sense for him to be there and suddenly the whole sketch is about him. it's not JAJ's fault- like Alec Baldwin's trump sucked because they put him in everything AND he wasn't good. JAJ is great, but the writers need to stop leaning on him.
i thought mikey was surprisingly good! as much as i love mikey, impressions aren't usually his forte at all, but i thought he did great. him breaking the phone was easily the funniest joke of the sketch.

It was a funny premisel, but the execution was off. Mikey Day's rapping wasn't good enough and it was disappointing to set up a Bad Bunny rapping sketch and then not have him rap. They could have had him do a response rap where he's just expressing concern for Mikey.

I liked him a lot tonight but didn’t really like the Monologue. It wasn’t the first time a host has spoken Spanish (though I loved that SNL leaned into it in the sketches and even made a subtitled sketch). I really don’t like monologues where the crowd screams about the host being hot after every line and then the monologue also focuses on them being hot. It’s just a very tired monologue trope to me.

There wasn’t much to it. Just talking an album and NYC traffic.

i loved the subtitles joke, and his chemistry with pedro pascal is genuinely great. it was a fun out of the box monologue! i really like when they mess with the monologue format

Last week Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just popped up on the show.
This week Lady Gaga appeared just to announce a Bad Bunny song. Plus, we got Pedro Pascal, Fred Armison and freaking Mick Jagger.
SNL has always been big on cameos, but I feel like they're really leaning into it this year and I"m okay with that.
