History Characters / SaturdayNightLive

[[WMG:Mrs Flores, Protective Latino Mom]]
->Played by: Creator/PedroPascal
A typical (for the most part) suburban Latino housewife, who's always had the time for her son Luis, whether he wants it or not.

* BerserkButton: Any little hint that there's something wrong with Luis, just because it reflects badly on her.
-->[[PunctuatedForEmphasis "My son! Does NOT HAVE! A.D.D.! HE JUST LIKE TO JUMP!!"]]
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Her sketches all have to do with her obvious offense at Luis dating a white girl. [[PetTheDog At least until the first sign that this girl was raised right.]]
* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Let's just say she's an old master of PassiveAggressiveKombat.
* IncrediblyConspicuousDrag: It's basically Creator/PedroPascal in a wig and dress and fake bust for good measure. He didn't even shave.
* MyBelovedSmother: By her very nature.
* SatelliteCharacter: Her second episode introduces her sister Tia (Music/BadBunny), who's just like her in every way barring hair color.

* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Let's just say she's an old master of PassiveAgresssiveKombat.

* OverprotectiveParent: By her very nature.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: Colonel Angus visits a plantation in the Antebellum South, but Annabelle calls him a carpetbagger, which is a Northerner who came South after the Civil War, yet he wears a Confederate army uniform and speaks in a Southern accent, but he also seems to have fought in battle in the West, the majority of which occurred after the Civil War.

* ConspiracyTheorist: Played for laughs - when he returns in 2022 he's gone completely MAGA.

* AlienAbduction: Her first sketch has her and her friends Sharon (Creator/CecilyStrong) and Todd (Creator/RyanGosling), recount to the CIA what happened after aliens abducted them. This happened to them again by the next time Gosling hosted ''SNL''. By the time of Kate's final episode she's been abducted a third time, [[spoiler: and then volunteers to go with them permanently.]]

** The most recent sketch features Angel’s boyfriend Tommy [[spoiler: (played by Creator/MattDamon)]] making an appearance…and revealing (to Angel’s surprise) that she’s pregnant again.

* KavorkaMan: His sketches often involve attractive high-status characters falling head over heels for him, like fantasy realm queens, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim a professor]] being played by Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, and even Music/JenniferLopez herself. Showcased at the auction, in which the auctioneer starts bidding at $50.

[[WMG:Zan Mob]]

* ChocolateBaby: In season 48 one of her children is revealed to be the child of [[spoiler:Adonis Film/{{Creed}}.]]

* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Barbara credits the cats she's selling with some of the worst human sentient behaviors, including {{megalomania}} and [[HostageSituation kidnapping]], as well as some more mundane ones like [[LivingEmotionalCrutch co-dependency]]. The cats themselves, however, are perfectly normal cats.
* StalkerWithACrush: While Barbara herself just wants to find homes for the rather eccentric and disturbed cats under her care, Barbara's girlfriends/co-workers all seem very fixated on ''her'', to rather alarming and unhealthy degrees at times.

* {{Fanboy}}: Collects ''Smurfs'' action figures in the second skit and even has a "Smurf Life" tramp stamp.

--> '''Irwin Mainway''': Look, you know, a kid, the average kid, he picks up, you know, broken glass anywhere: the beach, the street, garbage cans, parking lots, all over the place in the big city. We're just packaging what the kids want.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Never mind."

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* {{Catchphrase}}: "We are from France."

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* StrawmanHasAPoint: She makes a number of quite intelligent and insightful comments about her guests (or at least, the parodies she interviews), correctly pointing out their shallowness, selfishness or stupidity.

* {{Catchphrase}}:
** "I am Hans." "Und I am Franz." "And we're here to pump [clap] you up!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: Catch phrases are a big part of Wayne's act, even by ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' standards. (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this on SNL's 40th anviversary; they rated catch phrases as the 5th best thing about Saturday Night Live, then proceeded to rattle off about a dozen of them.) Some famous ones:

** "No Way!" "Way!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "If it's not Scottish, it's crap!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "That's the way it was and we liked it!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "You can't have the Mango!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "That's crazy!" and "I'm Brian Fellow!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "What's everybody looking at?" Ace says this whenever he and Gary do something [[InnocentInnuendo that looks like something else]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Cubs win! Cubs win!"

-->'''Circe Nightshade''': Which reminds me, Goth Talk is sponsored by ''The Gloom Room'', for all your Goth needs. It's an ooorrrrgyyyy of the macabre... right next to the Pizza Hut, on Hibiscus Road!

* DiscoDan: He dresses in 70s fashion, complete with an afro.

An energetic 50-year old woman who regularly auditions for jobs more suited for younger candidates.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "I like to kick, and stretch, and KICK! I'm 50!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Save it!" (referring to the obvious joke about their names)

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Biiiitch Pleeeeze"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "This place has everything."

-->'''Seth Meyers''': Stefon, not to belabor the point, but we were looking for some fun activities that a mom, a dad, a grandpa could enjoy. Umm, you ''instead'' took us on a tour of a coked-up gay [[TabletopGame/CandyLand Candy Land]].
-->'''Stefon''': [[{{Touche}} Accurate. That's accurate]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: "You hear about this thing now?" in a squeaky falsetto.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Stuart: "Devin? What are you doing here?"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "ATTENTION TEACHERS AND STUDENTS!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch ...Bitch]]" or variations thereof.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "'Xactly..."

-->'''Morgan''': No, ''you'' should be called Roach Warehouse!

* {{Catchphrase}}:

A regular guest commentator on ''Weekend Update'', Olya hails from a remote and desolate village somewhere in Russia - and that's putting it nicely.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's like they always say....", inevitably followed by something horrible.

--> '''Shallon''': Okay, so then you go, "What's your name?" "I'm Shallon." "Where you from?" "I'm from Orange County." Everything checks out, then hop in that van and get that candy.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Next!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: ''"I'm Gemma. I'm Bri'ish."''

* UnfinishedBusiness: Season 44. Mrs Rafferty and her two friends are visited by ghosts that need them to do something for them. Theirs were to fulfill lifelong ambitions or make peace with loved ones - hers was to enact petty [[{{Revenge}} vengeance]] on the ghost's ex-girlfriend by dropping an "upper-decker" in her toilet.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Both Ms. Rafferty and Sharon, enough that it affects an additional friend each time. Ms. Rafferty in particular takes it up to eleven - when they bring the AlienAbduction skit back in season 43, it's all but stated that ''the exact same aliens are at it''.
-->"I see those big fat gray aliens with the same stupid eyes, and I'm hit with the realization - it was my first second date since 2009!"

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Subverted - even with the psycho killer right in front of him, it's clear he has no idea ''which'' day.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Okay." Usually accompanied by a slight nod of acquiescence: no matter what anyone says or does to Chad, he's as likely to respond with "Okay" as with anything else. It becomes almost Zen-like.

-->'''Auctioneer''': I feel like I'm in [[Series/StrangerThings the Upside Down]] right now. Chad's Grinch impression took us to 700 ''grand''.

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: In the Mars mission sketch he's been having an affair with another astronaut played by Music/MileyCyrus, who reveals that she's now carrying his baby - which makes him head out the airlock faster.

-->'''Beck''': And the skeletons are...?\\
'''Skeletons''': [[MathematiciansAnswer Part of it]]!

* GenreSavvy: She seems well-versed in the clichés of her genre.

--> '''David S. Pumpkins:''' "¿Preguntas?"[[note]]Questions?[[/note]]
--> '''Andrew Dismukes:''' "¡Si, mucho preguntas!"[[note]]Yes, many questions![[/note]]

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: She dies while she, her children, the medics, and some kind of adopted son or protogé played by Creator/SterlingKBrown all sing a rousing rendition of "How You Remind Me".

* SurroundedByIdiots: He is absolutely disgusted by the incompetence of the celebrities he has to deal with.

* ArchEnemy: The guy who causes Trebek the most angst, and unlike his fellow celebrities he seems to be doing it deliberately.
