Amy Adams Skits – Saturday Night Live – VIDEO

Amy Adams Skits Saturday Night Live VIDEO SNL

The best thing about last night’s SNL with host Amy Adams was how they didn’t shy away from mocking Sony and Kim Jong Un. Kudos NBC for allowing SNL to go there.  Mike Myers makes a cameo in the cold open as Dr. Evil, basically mocking North Korea, Sony and a 4th wall breaking mention of himself. IT’S AWESOME.  Kim Jong-Un jokes also take over Weekend Update.

Amy Adams, an able character actress, was solid in every skit she appeared in, while never pulling focus from the regular players. Not to be missed: The Serial parody. Sarah Koenig spends a year attempting to unravel the mystery of Santa Claus. Also:  super-random Adam Lambert reference in a lesbian cat lady skit.

Former SNL cast members, Kristen Wiig (Ugh. Her recurring SNL characters annoy me. All of them) and Fred Armisen make cameos.

Cold Open

Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) interrupts Sam Smith’s (Taran Killam) Christmas special to address North Korea and Sony Pictures directly about the hack. The BEST COLD OPEN IN LIKE FOREVER.

Amy Adams Monologue

When Amy Adams attempts to celebrate Christmas with the SNL cast backing her up in fugly Christmas sweaters, Kristin Wiig crashes the party with her crew of hot reindeer dudes.

Cat Rescue Commercial

This skit about lesbian cat ladies (Kate McKinnon & Amy Adams) is unremarkable other than the random Adam Lambert reference.

Serial

Serial’s Sarah Koenig (Cecily Strong) investigates the story of Kris Kringle (Kyle Mooney), an elf who allegedly leaves presents in people’s homes. Those of you who have been following the Serial podcast will appreciate this BRILLIANT parody. SNL is operating on all cylinders here.

Asian American Doll

The Asian American doll is created to be as generic as possible for the ultimate in cultural sensitivity. The 40 focus groups the “harmless” chefs hat and puppy accessories went through didn’t anticipate the little girl who said, “Is that a puppy so she can eat it because she’s Asian or something?” So wrong, yet so hilarious.

Office Christmas Party

Things get real at the office Christmas Party when hip hop dudes (Pete Davidson & Jay Pharoah) show up. Where did that goat come from?

A Very Cuban Christmas

Gloria Estefan (Cecily Strong) and Pitbull (Taran Killam) host A Very Cuban Christmas, celebrating that US has restored diplomatic relations with the country. Fred Armisen plays Raoul Castro. Pitbull sings a special Hanukkah song! Highlight: Kate McKinnon as swimmer Diana Nyad. “Ninety miles of open ocean, you little bitch!”

Weekend Update Part 1

The mocking of Kim Jong-Un is a beautiful thing. Michael Che repeatedly calls the dictator “Kimberly.” He also makes the point that Hollywood caves to all kinds of pressure. Also, Bobby Moynihan impersonates the leader until his life is threatened. Bill Cosby & Kathy Lee Gifford jokes and Serial. Michael Che: “For much more on this story…talk to white people.”

Weekend Update Part 2

Workplace robots and a drug-resistant super bacteria. Garth and Kat (Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen) stop by to sing Hanukkah songs.
