Networks and streamers take notice. This is one among many nice examples of what our group desires to see extra of in TV and movie. While many people did develop up watching Spanish-language tv, we dwell in a really bilingual world. Witnessing Bad Bunny on an American TV establishment reminiscent of SNL was not solely refreshing however completely hilarious. Bravo.
In a spoof of a telenovela El Pasión de las Padillas, Bunny performed a hilarious mustached villain who slapped round his nemesis (performed by Hernandez). But it was Punkie Johnson’s maid character named Latina that ate up that sketch.
Not to be out-mustached, rocker Jagger reveals up as the last word dangerous man who slaps round each Bunny and Hernandez however is unable to finish probably the most tough activity, determining what on earth Latina was attempting to say.
Jagger returned as Sister Kevin, a male pretending to be a nun to be able to seduce the ladies, in a spoof of Sister Act 3: Kevin Gone Wild—sorry, Whoopi Goldberg. In a really Casanova-type approach, Kevin admitted he was the one who “corrupted these poor women with my lips and my hips.”
Lady Gaga stunned viewers when she popped in to introduce Bad Bunny, who was pulling double obligation internet hosting and because the musical visitor, forward of his first efficiency. She was on for a mere two seconds but it surely blew up on social media anyway.
Gaga additionally joined Jagger and the remainder of the Rolling Stones at their album launch get together on Friday night time, singing “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” Who is aware of, possibly this will result in new collabs between the trio.
SNL vet Fred Armisen appeared within the sketch titled “The Age of Discovery,” a medieval story a couple of King and his son who’re displeased with lots of the items offered to them by their loyal servants. But all the pieces modified once they got a funny-looking cigar (marijuana) that they have been satisfied was “dookie.”
In what was the funniest sketch of the night time, Bad Bunny and Pedro Pascal play sisters who’re launched to the non-Latina girlfriend of their nephew and son, respectively. There are so many nods to rising up Latino like emptying out a superb tin of cookies to be able to preserve your stitching shock and the ability of a Latina mother holding a chancleta. Duck!
It’s not simple being inexperienced for Bunny, who performed Shrek within the sketch “Please don’t destroy.”
