The Mario Kart skit was one of the best skits I've seen in a long time coming from SNL, very well done

And tbh I would watch that movie in a heartbeat

They're at their best when they do things like this. No politics, no attempts at ultra deep humor, but rather taking something that would be absurd in the real world and then, of course, doing just that - putting it in the real world.

Like the parody of the Joker trailer with Grouch.

I think that's why the commercial parodies still work - taking those commercials and just running them to absurdist extremes will always be funny.

The only did 4 of them, but their Bakeoff contest skits ramped up the weird to 11 and I loved it. No politics, just 2 horrible bakers, 1 legit good one who gets ignore, and the one who is obsessed with making the cakes phallic.

Reminds me of the hilarious skit that Patrick Stewart did ages ago, Sexy Cakes.

Welcome to Sexy Cakes, the Erotic Bakery!
