While Bobby Moynihan clearly confirmed up at Saturday Night Live‘s Studio 8H this week to reprise his function within the biggest Halloween sketch of all time, he additionally took a second to deliver again one other of his hottest recurring characters, Drunk Uncle.
This marks the fourteenth look of Drunk Uncle and, from his first bit melding Jack Skellington and Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s a whirlwind of slurred non-sequiturs and cranky outdated man yowls.
He is an artist at coronary heart although. Despite his claims of not being Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, he’s fairly a singer — although his oeuvre seems to be virtually completely songs and artists of the Eighties. Eddie Money, Billy Joel, the McDonald’s menu tune. He’s additionally a Tik Tok dancer. Well, a mocker of Tik Tok dancers. But that’s principally the identical factor, proper?
The close to misses with racism are all the time probably the most enjoyable. He begins speaking about unlawful immigrants, nevertheless it then turns into clear he’s speaking about Chris Pratt’s flip on the traditional Super Mario character. He begins out his screed on Kanye West by saying, “I’ve been listening to a whole lot of what he has to say,” however even Drunk Uncle, it appears, is unwilling to companion with him. “I think he might be crazy,” he says, proving himself to even be a grasp of understatement.
One of the most effective issues about this character is that the subjects are so various, you usually end up studying about present occasions you missed. Did you already know Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen lately introduced their divorce? That’s an actual factor. Or that Halloween is communist? That’s a barely much less actual factor. Or that Black Adams Matter? That’s an actual factor for The Rock, however perhaps not a lot for people. You ought to most likely truth examine Drunk Uncle earlier than utilizing him as a information supply.
Elsewhere within the episode, Cecily Strong returned to the present as Kari Lake, and Tom Hanks was in studio to revive Halloween icon David S. Pumpkins.
