When she appeared for the first time on “Saturday Night Live” a year agoThe creator and star of “Abbott Elementary” Quinta Brunson gave one of the best accommodation performance of last year, bringing an excellent comic timing and characters to the series.
It was not a stroke of luck. Back on the show for his second release, Brunson was equally able to bring his comic sensitivity to an episode which presented a solid range of new sketches. There was only one spare and even that one, a resumption of the star “Traffic altercation», Was it worth revised.
It is interesting to compare BrunSon's second shot as an excess of Brunson with two other comics that organized in season 49 and season 50: Nate Bargatze and Shane Gillis. While Bartgatze The return was goodHe has not completely reached the heights of the first appearance. And Gillis, inexplicably returned to service after a first beginning as a host, was well worse the second time.
But Brunson has not given a step since last year; She was funny playing a Harriet Tubman who traveled the time which, with Kenan Thompson as Frederick Douglass, did not want to return to the past In a parody “Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure”; Daffy went as one of the many bad employees at a leadership summit; played a model in a AD for Forever 31's Sad and oversized clothes; And one of the “”Two B – against a gorilla(The other was the nwodim ego), on women talking about waste in front of a zoo gorilla.
If that was not enough, she played an old -fashioned boxer making jokes, Jerry “jackrabbit” tulaneWho stops being so funny after being beaten several times in the ring, and half a couple “only sexy of” onlyseniors ” In an insurance ad.
Bruson scored again and again and even sang in the monologue; She should have an open invitation to come back next season.
Musical guest Benson Boone has backflipplip before playing, “Sorry I'm here for someone else“And did not do a backflip before doing”Magic mystical. “He briefly appeared on the weekend update as an Applebee server, referring to his successful song” Beautiful Things “, which Boone did not play.
Just as President Trump dominated the news cycle after the news cycle this year, he also requisitioned the “SNL” Open Cold: once again, James Austin Johnson played the hard potus, delivering a series of decrees with the scary Lord of Stephen Miller (an increasingly vampiric day Mikey). Trump has signed orders to expel “Sesame Street” with Elmo (“brought by the letter L for El Salvador”), sorry JK Rowling for the transphobic comments and bringing Columbus day for the Italians-American such as Tony Soprano, Benny Blanco (who is Jewish) and the Gambino Enfantin (the name of Donald Glover black). Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernández) appeared for an order to prevent Hispanic babies from being pierced with their ears, and Trump also made movements to facilitate the game of New York Times connections, transform the word “recession” into “recreation” and outlaw. “Each Christmas Eve, I am visited by three ghosts. I don't know what they are talking about,” said Trump.
Brunson started her monologue with jokes at the moment she worked for a telephone line (“At the end of my first week, I had only $ 1.38.”) Before landing on the subject of her song and his dance number: her size. The 4 -feet 11 -inch actress said: “They tried to get started when I was a child on” Abbott Elementary “and I wrote that!” Avoiding too high a microphone, it sang on big things to be small, like being a cheap date with wine. She was soon joined by another star decreases: the singer Pop Sabrina Carpenter, who compared notes with her, asking: “When you read news, do they feel like novels?” The former NBA star, Dwyane Wade, filmed on the ladies, but insisted that he was still short compared to the other 6 -inch 4 inch basketball players. “I really want to be in the song,” he said.
Best sketch of the night: do not ask too many questions to your parents on “only sesseniors”
Brunson and Thompson play elderly parents whose children (Nwodim and Devon Walker) discover that they have life insurance thanks to a service that forces them to have sex and spend a lot of naked time for online fans. “We have installed our camera and we do things. And look at the money starting to flock,” they said. When they do not interact with their “small dirty cat babies”, they spend time with their neighbors so naked and (checks the notes) seated on cakes? In these uncertain economic times, it is a business model that seems very viable.
So good: now you now the sign language of traffic for Iraq
Mikey Day and Brunson clashed again in separate cars (but did not seem to recognize themselves the last time) to fight with a series of hand gestures and facial expressions on a bad parking lot on a ferry. The character of Day cannot forgive the other driver to park too close, saying that he needed more than half a pump, which invites a devastating answer of the woman in the other car. Day's daughter, Quinn (Chloe Fineman), participates with online sexual gestures, which prompted the character of Brunson to make gestures for a gardening tool telling him who he raised. Of course, it is a rehearsal, but again, it is perfectly executed at both ends, the only disappointing note being an appearance of Colin Jost, which is Try to sell the real ferry he bought with Pete Davidson. It's not that Jost is bad, it's just that he couldn't be up to it The appearance of Mellssa McCarthy When they made a Version of this sketch with Martin Short.
Winner of “weekend update”: and now a word from Michael Longfellow
Sarah Sherman and Bowen Played barflys excited at Applebee who are sad about the closure of the chain restaurants. But that was Michael Longfellow's statement not to get A real identity document This won the “update” this week. Longfellow said, “You have already given me an identity card. If it is false, you repair it. The Pope is dead, let me cry.” It did not quite follow, but Longfellow continued to joke on his light working schedule from 12 hours a week to “SNL” (“I'm just not in as many things this season.”) Before installing rules for plane trips, including: “If the TSA touches your crotch, they must continue until the peak.” It is true, Longfellow was a light presence this season, but in segments like this, it is clear that it has a great mastery of its delivery. It will be good if it is back for season 51 and gets more screen time to show his talents.
