History Funny / SaturdayNightLiveSeason42

* In a montage of background screwups, supporting actors (Creator/JimmyFallon and Mikey Day) try to play basketball and failing horribly in a film shoot, repeatedly disrupting the stars in the foreground trying to have an important conversation.

* A pair of historical reenactment actors give a rendition of a New York couple from the 1910s that's completely historically accurate, ie dripping with horrible racism. Made even better by how the setup actually makes the multiple times Louis cracks up and flubs his lines still seem perfectly in character, joined in by the similarly breaking Kate (which is a pretty big deal since she almost never breaks).

** The real Jake Tapper reacted with an "Um..." to the sketch, but later admitted it was funny. The real Kellyanne Conway took it in stride too.

* The opening monologue has Kate and Scarlett interact for the first time since the 2017 Oscars (in which they both presented awards). Kate greets Scarlett with several loving pecks on the cheek (and can be seen checking out Scarlett's lips shortly afterwards), and mentions she went to a really crappy after party following the ceremony. Kenan, who has been on the show since before Scarlett's first time hosting, arrives in a ridiculous bathrobe and orders Kate to do his laundry, and gives Scarlett a compilation tape of her times hosting focusing on ''him''. Scarlett counters with an ad about [[OldShame his role in]] ''Fat Albert''.

** Michael pointing out that the memetic image of Jared Kushner in a flak vest over his business suit looks like "Coin going to buy from my weed guy without me."

* Hanks as a stereotypical-looking DeepSouth Trump Supporter from the south showing up for "Black Jeopardy!" whose distrust of the government [[NotSoDifferent are very similar]] to the Black contestants, along with with his surprising love of TylerPerry movies and preference for a BigBeautifulWoman. He's actually winning at "Black Jeopardy!" [[spoiler:up until the Final Jeopardy question about "Black Lives Matter."]]

* On Weekend Update, Michael Che's running gag of Michelle Obama's disapproving face, illustrated with "Mm!"

* On the Weekend Update, Colin remarks how disgraced New Jersey governor Chris Christie is likely to join Trump's forthcoming cabinet, which gets quite a bit of jeering from the audience. Michael begins his next story, and Colin makes a joke about how one shouldn't use a bridge to get to Jersey. Michael couldn't even start his story because he and the audience lost it.

** Hanks as a stereotypical-looking Trump Supporter from the south showing up for "Black Jeopardy!" whose distrust of the government [[NotSoDifferent are very similar]] to the Black contestants, along with with his surprising love of TylerPerry movies and preference for a BigBeautifulWoman. He's actually winning at "Black Jeopardy!" [[spoiler:up until the Final Jeopardy question about "Black Lives Matter."]]
** Three words: David S. Pumpkins.

*** "Any questions?"
--->'''Beck Bennet''': Yes! Several!
** Leslie Jones' Weekend Update appearance about her iPhone hack.

* Michael Che exercising some NWordPrivilege here:

"Donald Trump was also criticized for suggesting a nationwide stop-and-frisk. They only stop and frisk people like me... if you stopped and frisked everyone who looked like me, you're gonna find drugs. But if you stopped and frisked everyone who looked like Colin, ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice you're gonna find better drugs!]]''"

** Also, all of [=Clinton's=] expressions while Trump is talking. They include, "did he really just say that?" when he says something outrageous to a gleefully smug "yes he's still saying it".

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUWSLlz0Fdo cold open]] features Alec Baldwin reprising his role as President-elect Donald Trump, in the midst of his transition and preparation for taking office. Kellyanne Conway winces that she got Trump elected, and Trump himself gets spooked when he begins to realize the sheer scope of the powers he must assume and the promises he made (a wall thousands of miles long, deporting millions of people, etc). Trump begins to abandon his plans, and later makes Mike Pence promise that he will handle everything once they enter office.
** Kristen Wiig's opening monologue goes into a musical number about the supposed first Thanksgiving... which involves everything from Vikings (Bobby), Napoleon (Kate), aliens, you name it.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOb-kmOgpI The Bubble]]", depicting a supposed safe-zone within a giant bubble where progressives can live in peace in the wake of Trump's election. Bernie Sanders is on the $1 bill (which earns a big round of cheers from the audience), smart cars, "the rawest milk you've ever tasted", housing prices are through the roof... but hey, you're away from Trump! Kyle also insists that "we don't see color, we celebrate it!", earning him a grimace from Sasheer.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o8LVdTvw8c This parody]] of ''Creator/AndersonCooper 360'' has Cooper (Alex Moffat) host a panel about various questionable activities regarding Trump. All the other members of the panel react to each piece of "Breaking News" with the ''exact same wording'' each time, the only differences including everyone sounding progressively more enraged, and Dana Bash (Kristen Wiig) mentioning the previous piece of news as something the current subject "isn't like". Each cycle ends with Trump supporter Kayleigh [=McEnany=] (Kate [=McKinnon=]) asking, "Um, can we just remember that most Americans voted for Trump?" to which Van Jones (Kenan Thompson) responds, "Actually, they didn't, Kayleigh!", eliciting laughter from everyone. [[spoiler:When Cooper starts to realize the show has become formulaic, everyone freezes. Two maintenance guys (Mikey Day and Pete Davidson) point him out as a robot who "...was starting to remember", replace him with a Jake Tapper (Beck Bennett) robot, and continue the program as usual. None of the other robots ask where Cooper went, and instead continue spouting their stock phrases, until the ''Westworld'' logo appears.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnzRFyOMD4U Target Commercial]]", featuring Cecily as a woman who decides to escape from a Thanksgiving with relatives from different political viewpoints at Target.
** A sketch revolving around a family (Vanessa, Kyle, Beck, and Cecily) watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade up close and personal.. only for the balloons of Literature/{{Madeline}} (Kristen) and [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody]] (Mikey) to be non-stop NightmareFuel, seemingly coming to life and stalking the family. Then Bobby appears as [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]], an unblinking, grinning Pennywise at that. The three balloons gang up on the family, following them as they move. Then Madeline picks up Creator/KristinChenoweth (portrayed by a doll) [[spoiler: and drops her!]] Beck quips, "So much for [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} defying gravity!]]"
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzcSJ1setd0 Whiskers R We]]" makes a return, with Kristen as Kate's latest fellow cat lady, who's even ''[[LesYay more]]'' thirsty than the previous one (Melissa [=McCarthy=]) for Kate. It gets to the point that when she decides to pinch a cat for bad behavior (including voting for Jill Stein), [[spoiler: she spends a minute searching for Kate's left nipple, and finally gets a hold of it. Kate quickly loses her composure in what is perhaps the biggest instance of her breaking character on the show ''ever''.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=762p43qHRiE Surprise Lady: Thanksgiving]]" has a Thanksgiving gathering being headlined by a soldier (Pete) returning from the service to surprise his mother (Vanessa). Despite Cecily's attempts to have the group (Bobby, Aidy, Leslie), Kristen reprises her old Surprise Lady persona and threatens to ruin the surprise, and is flipping the hell out the entire time.

** First off, Dave's return to the spotlight is guaranteed to generate more than a few laughs, and right out the gate, his opening monologue, at eleven minutes long, is also a stand-up routine. He cracks jokes on everything from Harambe [[note]]the gorilla shot at the Cincinnati Zoo that inexplicably became a world-famous meme to the point that ''11,000'' people voted for him on Election Day[[/note]] to the Black Lives Matter movement.
** During the election night skit, as results in Donald Trump's favor continue to roll in, the white Hillary supporters in the party react in shock and seem to discover for the first time that racism exists in America. Dave and guest ChrisRock can only guffaw in response.

** Plus their reactions to the new results show that they're [[NotSoAboveItAll fairly racist themselves.]]

** Dave considered not reprising any of his old characters for the show, but after ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' had its' season premiere, Dave couldn't resist. He thus plays [[BigBad Negan]] choosing someone to die, and has to choose between a collection of his old characters. Among them is white supremacist Clayton Bigsby (who dons a Trump hat), Tyrone Biggums, and none other than Busta Rhymes as Music/LilJon. Ultimately, [[spoiler: Biggums gets the bat, and his head is knocked clean off of his body... but continues to roll around, dodging Negan and Lucille. Biggums' head monologues, is superimposed on the bodies of every major political figure of the year as he does so, and then escapes.]]
** On the Weekend Update, Colin remarks how disgraced New Jersey governor Chris Christie is likely to join Trump's forthcoming cabinet, which gets quite a bit of jeering from the audience. Michael begins his next story, and Colin makes a joke about how one shouldn't use a bridge to get to Jersey. Michael couldn't even start his story because he and the audience lost it.
*** Kate returns as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and insists she will not retire thanks to Trump's victory. She contends that she will simply stock up on vitamins, and promptly scarfs down a huge amount of powdery Vitamin C, the stuff cascading out of her mouth and onto her gown.
** After a sketch revolving around afros appears to go over poorly, the [[ShowWithinAShow cast then enters a panel on a behind the scenes segment]]. The panel is framed like a football press conference where the team lost horribly.
** Kate reprises the "Last Call" sketch, this time with Dave, with Kenan as the bartender who grows progressively more disgusted with their flirting. Kate also mentions that her zodiac sign is "Vagittarius" (as a nod to Kate being a lesbian in real life). Kenan claims that the apocalypse must have arrived, and on cue, a rubber frog falls from above. When Dave and Kate begin tonguing at the bar, Kenan begins frantically pouring bleach into his eyes! When they go for broke and begin tonguing again as they fire off streams of beer, Kenan declares he must do what he must -- [[spoiler: and promptly begins shooting at the two to chase them out of his bar.]]
** A behind the scenes mockumentary depicts Leslie Jones and Kyle Mooney in a blossoming relationship and her attempts to take Kyle's virginity, that even the other cast members including executive producer Lorne Michaels comment on wishing for Kyle to get laid. To Dave's dismay, Leslie and Kyle end up having sex in his dressing room.
** The final sketch of the night features Dave as a man living with his mother (Leslie), and his friends, who are over for a football game, are repulsed when [[spoiler: Dave starts breast feeding with his mother despite being a grown man. It gets worse when Dave emerges from behind his mother's blanket with milk all over his face, and his sister (Sasheer) later joins in too, and milk squirts all over the other guys. Kyle stays while the others flee in terror.]]

** The cold opening has Hillary Clinton freaking out over losing her poll lead after the FBI reopened its email investigation.

** The game show "Why is Benedict Cumberbatch Hot?". There are no characters; it's just Beck asking Vanessa, Aidy, and Benedict himself why he's hot. None of them can answer.

* An over-the-top and overcrowded music video parodying D.J. Khaled's AvengersAssemble-type track "I'm the One", where Kenan headlines a crew of wacky rappers. They're joined by even wilder rappers as Kenan realizes things are getting way too crowded (even musical guest Katy Perry joins the fun!). And who's the last rapper to join in? None other than [[spoiler: '''David S. Pumpkins!!!''']]

* "World Peace Rap", a parody of the already SoBadItsGood [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Vaz9jW054 2003 music video "Stop the War" by Hungarian rapper Speak]] with Beck Bennett as "Stav D" rapping in an Eastern European accent rapping(speaking actually) about wanting world peace but it devolves into him talking about his porn addiction. With hostChris Pine in a wig singing the chorus.

* Another Wrestle Mania promo starring Dwayne and Bobby, though Dwayne's character Koko [=WatchOut=] goes ''way'' below the belt (no pun intended) with some bombshell revelations about Trashyard Mutt, topped off by the revelation that [[spoiler: they are actually long-lost twins thanks to a genetic experiment gone awry, and that Koko is the sperm donor for Mutt's wife... making the child both Koko's nephew and son.]] The skit ends with Mutt going off-camera to puke and Koko saying his catchphrase, "And that's what the Koko [[ActorAllusion is cooking!]]"

* Another Wrestle Mania promo starring Dwayne and Bobby, though Dwayne's character Coco goes ''way'' below the belt (no pun intended) with some bombshell revelations about Junkyard Mutt's family life, topped off by the revelation that [[spoiler: they are actually long-lost twins thanks to a genetic experiment gone awry, and that Coco is the sperm donor for Mutt's wife... making Coco both the child's nephew and father.]]

** Responding to real-life speculation that he'll run for president, Dwayne announces a faux-campaign for the 2020 election with none other than Creator/TomHanks as his running mate! Alec Baldwin is a bit miffed that he wasn't tapped as Dwayne's VP, though he pokes fun at several unfortunate incidents in the past that have tarnished his reputation as he chases after Lorne for supposedly talking to his wife.
** A commercial for a gold, fancy fidget spinner, which proves to be more entertaining than the vain, ridiculous woman played by Vanessa.
** Another Wrestle Mania promo starring Dwayne and Bobby, though Dwayne's character Coco goes ''way'' below the belt (no pun intended) with some bombshell revelations about Junkyard Mutt's family life, topped off by the revelation that [[spoiler: they are actually long-lost twins thanks to a genetic experiment gone awry, and that Coco is the sperm donor for Mutt's wife... making Coco both the child's nephew and father.]]
** An over-the-top and overcrowded music video parodying D.J. Khaled's AvengersAssemble-type track "I'm the One", where Kenan headlines a crew of wacky rappers. They're joined by even wilder rappers as Kenan realizes things are getting way too crowded (even musical guest Katy Perry joins the fun!). And who's the last rapper to join in? None other than [[spoiler: '''David S. Pumpkins!!!''']]
** As a nod to Dwayne's old role in ''Film/TheScorpionKing'', Johnson takes up the mantle as the vigilante Scorpio. However, his friends are more interested and impressed by his talented ability to sew, as evidenced by his superhero outfit. Scorpio ends up opening a fashion shop after he lets City Hall get blown up because he was too busy fawning over his work.
** Gemma and Ricky return to join Kenan and Vanessa on the ''Ride/JurassicParkRiverAdventure'' ride at UniversalStudios. Poor Vanessa keeps getting doused with water, culminating in a giant ''T.rex'' animatronic absolutely drenching her. And Gemma and Ricky can't be bothered to tell her to move out of harm's way.
** Weekend Update has Colin and Michael remarking on the disastrous week Trump has had and also suspect that Mike Pence will be taking over as president soon enough. And as this episode marks the final performance for long-runners Vanessa Bayer and Bobby Moynihan, they get in one last hurrah as Dawn Lazarus and Drunk Uncle, respectively.
** A 1948 film shoot goes awry as Vanessa's character has severe gas problems during shooting (and is implied to have soiled herself at the very end). Vanessa and Dwayne actually break character and giggle a few times. At the end, Bobby's character is so annoyed he pulls out a cigarette - resulting in the place exploding.
** A skit about a meeting of mad scientists from all over the world ''really'' pushes the envelope, as Dwayne's character has a submission of a ''child-molesting robot''. [[EvenEvilHasStandards The villains present are all repulsed]], just like we are. [[spoiler: And then it turns out it was a commercial for White Castle ("We serve anybody!")]]
** Dwayne plays a guy wanting to hook up with a beautiful girl (Cecily), so the bartender (Beck) goes over to be his wingman... only for Beck to talk Cecily into a threesome. He then talks her into having sex with them one-on-one (with Beck going first), to Dwayne's horror. Then a girl played by Vanessa shows up, who is interested in a fivesome with all four of them and a creepy guy played by Bobby. It just keeps getting worse!
** In the final sketch of the season, Bobby and Vanessa lead a group of seniors [[EndOfSeriesAwareness performing a skit to pay tribute to their graduation]]. They parody ''Stranger Things'', ''Beauty and the Beast'', and also take the time to insult the roast beef prepared by Leslie Jones' lunch lady.

Season 42 of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', premiering on October 1, 2016 and concluding on May 20, 2017, was a wild one, for sure. From the election of Donald Trump (Creator/AlecBaldwin) to the presidency, a dancing man in a pumpkin suit, a rampaging cross-cast Creator/MelissaMcCarthy, and the last hurrah for Drunk Uncle and Dawn Lazarus, ''SNL'' had one hell of a year, and it needed its' own page for all the laughs it gave us.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkjjtX83-Cc "Crucible Cast Party,"]] which hits home for a lot of theater-obsessed teens. Character shoes, Sprite, old age makeup: it's all there. Aidy claims that all the boys want her, but we see pretty much every guy at the party flirting with ''each other''. Kate tries to smoke a cigarette to look cool, but later breaks down and cries to her parents about it over the phone ("if we don't have our parents' trust, we don't have anything!"). Cecily shows off her show shoes to some guys with a [[AbhorrentAdmirer creepy grin]], Melissa enjoys a massage train, and Aidy runs off to a locked closet with a guy... and watches a recording of their production from a few hours ago, and goes to get pretzels with him. Lin also stars as the stereotypical hotshot who always plays the lead since he can dance, sing, and fuck, and he gets an elated Cecily in bed... to tell her that their next production will be ''Theatre/{{Rent}}''.
** Lin-Manuel's monologue, a spoof of [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} "My Shot,"]] throws in an additional ''Hamilton'' reference when Lin spots a portrait of one of the previous season's hosts, [[CurseCutShort "Piece of shi-"]] Donald Trump:

** Speaking of Trump: the cold open, which mocks Trump's (at the time) latest scandal about being caught on mic in 2005, making disparaging remarks about women and groping them without their consent. Trump (as played by Creator/AlecBaldwin) tells anchorwoman Brooke Baldwin (Cecily Strong) he "apple-ogizes" (he'd never ''apologize''), but continues to make disparaging remarks while he thinks his mic is off. Hillary, meanwhile, is reached for comment while celebrating an almost guaranteed victory at the following night's debate (complete with the [[MemeticMutation shoulder shimmy]]). At the end, Trump is caught laughing at how the once-proud Ted Cruz was recorded on video phone-banking for him with a pained look on his face... and doesn't apple-ogize for it.

** Trump gets mocked again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjbc15X1zSM "A Day Off with Kellyanne Conway"]] (Trump's campaign manager), whose half-assed excuses for Trump's behavior are shown to just be rattled off so she can get back to her day off. The not-quite NoodleIncidents that lead to her being summoned to CNN headquarters sweeten the pot.

** The [[https://youtu.be/qVMW_1aZXRk cold open second "and worst" debate sketch]], which starts with the moderators [[INeedAFreakingDrink downing shots]] and gets funnier from there, including Trump stalking Clinton to the ''Jaws'' music and Clinton's pretending to be distraught at her husband having mistresses.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJBL7kuzvsg "Melanianade"]] a parody of {{Beyonce}}'s "Sorry" video from her "Lemonade" album where the women in Donald Trump's life: his wife Melania(Cecily Strong), his daughter Ivanka(Emily Blunt), his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway(Kate [=McKinnon=]), his other daughter Tiffany(Vanessa Bayer), and his "one black friend", Omarosa(Sasheer Zameda) call him out on his treatment of them.
** A sketch set at tech convention where two Honda robots are serving appetizers. One of them played by Emily Blunt gets too close to the side of Kate [=McKinnon=]'s face and repeatedly tries to offer her some quesadillas even though Kate refuses. It's the one of the few times Kate breaks during a sketch.

* The cold opening from the Season 42 premiere, parodying the presidential debate between Hillary Clinton (Kate [=McKinnon=]) and Donald Trump (Creator/AlecBaldwin).

* From the Creator/LinManuelMiranda episode:

* From the Creator/EmilyBlunt episode:

* From the Creator/TomHanks episode:
** The cold open - you knew it was coming - of the Third and Final Presidential Debate of 2016, with Hanks as the moderator Chris Wallace noting "This is kind of like ''ReturnOfTheKing'' in that you don't wanna watch but hey you've come this far." It gets worse... okay, funnier from there.[[note]]It doesn't help that a lot of the skit is taken from real things Trump said during and after the debate.[[/note]]
*** Trump promises to talk quietly and soft like a "baby Trump." [[BlatantLies He doesn't make it past the first question]].
*** Hillary wins her Bingo card when Trump says the "Bad Hombres" bit.
*** When asked about the sexual assault allegations Trump replies "Nobody respects women more than me!" Cue video clips of ''entire audiences'' laughing in response including [[UpToEleven a shot of the Planet Earth]].

*** When Trump raises Hillary's past 30 years of experience, Hillary launches into a bragging session about her resume. Kate [=McKinnon=]'s delivery of "Osama. Bin. Laden." in particular is hysterical.
*** Trump tries to boost himself by pointing out all the high-profile people backing him, including Scott Baio (Chachi) and THE [[ActorAllusion Best Baldwin]] brother... Stephen.
*** As soon as Trump accuses Hillary of being a "Nasty Woman," Hillary promptly starts promoting Nasty Women coffee mugs and t-shirts.[[note]][[TruthInTelevision Seriously]], pro-Hillary supporters created Nasty Women paraphernalia before the debate even finished.[[/note]]
*** '''Hillary:'''You have a choice America. You can vote for the Republican candidate or you can vote for Donald Trump.
** Hanks as a stereotypical-looking Trump Supporter from the south showing up for "Black Jeopardy!"whose distrust of the government [[NotSoDifferent are very similar]] to the Black contestants, along with with his surprising love of TylerPerry movies and preference for a BigBeautifulWoman. He's actually winning at "Black Jeopardy!" [[spoiler:up until the Final Jeopardy question about "Black Lives Matter."]]

* From the Creator/DaveChappelle episode:

-->'''Beck Bennett:''' I'm calling it Florida's going blue. (raises glass) To Latinos!\\

* From the Creator/KristenWiig episode:

* From the Emma Stone episode:
** Another Trump cold open, this one about Trump's obsession with tweeting, and also bringing in Steve Bannon [[note]]Trump's new chief strategist and a notorious islamophobe and all around racist[[/note]], who is portrayed as a Grim Reaper-esque figure.
** The opening monologue has Emma happy to be back on SNL, and especially to be back with her old flame... Bobby Moynihan, who is played up as a hunky jock she slept around with. While he was engaged.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L5Xkb78KxY The Christmas Candle]]", a sparkly ballad about an unopened candle that becomes "another Christmas savior", as it provides "the gift of having a gift to give away." Vanessa struggles to come up with a good present for Sasheer[[note]]whom the lyrics refer to as Jen[[/note]], so she hastily sticks a bow on an old candle, then hands it to her at the office. Sasheer proceeds to give it away to Leslie offscreen, then Leslie chucks it onto Melissa while they have tea in London.
** A sketch depicting Pete Davidson as a high school student struggling with his math homework, and when he falls asleep, his posters come to life. They include Kenan as a stand-up comedian, Mikey Day as a radical snowboarder, Kate as a [[Franchise/MassEffect Commander Shephard]]-esque protagonist of an action shooter game, and Emma as a hot, but air headed and high-voiced model with a hot dog. The poster characters try to teach Pete to not give up and some basic math skills, but Emma keeps bringing it back to the hot dog. Kate grows so exasperated, she sighs "Oh my god, this bitch" and even goes over and eats the hot dog. "There! I ate the fat hot dog!"... only for Emma to pull out another one. Pete somehow gets the lesson that every math equation equals hot dogs, and sure enough fails his math homework after scribbling hot dogs all over it.
** "The Hunt for Hill" has a ''Finding Bigfoot'' style documentary about finding Hillary Clinton in the New England woods [[note]]Clinton has stayed out of the spotlight since losing the election, and took a picture with a fan while hiking in the woods somewhere[[/note]].
** On Weekend Update, Vanessa Bayer reprises her [[Series/{{Friends}} Rachel]] impersonation... only for the ''real'' Creator/JenniferAniston to show up. HilarityEnsues when Jennifer plays up how accidentally accurate Vanessa's impersonation is.
** A sketch on the birth of Jesus has Emma as the overwhelmed Mary moments after the birth of Christ. RealityEnsues when the three wise men arrive and Mary derides her husband for letting them in... then Joseph demands Mary make drinks for the three wise men.
** One sketch ran short, so we get to see the entire credits roll by, and at one point the still-bearded Beck laughs at the camera, surprised they're still on the air.
* From the Wrestling/JohnCena episode:
** The cold open features Beck and Kate returning as Jake Tapper and Kellyanne Conway discussing president-elect Trump's newest Cabinet pick - none other than Creator/BryanCranston reprising his [[Series/BreakingBad role]] as [[Characters/BreakingBadWalterWhite Walter White]]! Turns out, Walt has been picked by Trump to run the DEA of all things, and Walt is delighted as a wall will mean less competition. When Tapper asks if he means competition for jobs, Walt says "SureLetsGoWithThat". He also insists that Trump will make America cook again, and is ready to support the red, white, and lots of blue.
** Cena's monologue is continuously interrupted by the cast playing wacky wrestlers themselves, among them Bobby as "The Waddler", and Leslie Jones as herself!
** "Hook A Hunk" has Cena host a dating show where the girl (Cecily) ends up falling for him and making out with him. The three contestants (Beck, Mikey, and Kyle) are bewildered until Beck and Kyle end up making out, leaving Mikey as the third wheel.
** The science fair sketch has a [[KangarooCourt clearly rigged]] fair where Cena plays a brainless football player who gets an 'A' just so he can take the university to the championship.
** Dyke and Fats return, and their title sequence features the two opening a pair of boxes. Dyke opens a box where a sexy woman in a swimsuit pops out, and is floored, while Fats opens a box where a man holding a cake pops out, and is equally floored.
** Weekend Update features Kate as German chancellor Angela Merkel, bemoaning how Trump's platforms and policies are lining up with UsefulNotes/NaziGermany. She also chews out the alt-right movement, saying that in Germany, the alt-right is "[[ArgentinaIsNaziland why Grandpapa lives in Argentina now]]." Cecily also appears as Cathy Anne to rant about Pizza Gate, and also rips into the alt-right, musing how they're Nazi's but hate being called Nazi's. She also looks directly into the camera and lampshades how Trump is probably watching right now.
** A sketch where Joanne (Aidy) falls out of a window, but her coworkers are only concerned with the Christmas Tree that fell out of the office with her. At the end, Joanne falls to the ground and Santa suddenly appears, not to save her but to save the tree.
** "Through Donald's Eyes" has Cena play Trump going through an average day, imagining his hands becoming huge, only to rage-quit when he gets mean tweets. Kellyanne (Kate) has to tuck him into bed like a mother coddling her spoiled child.
* From the Creator/CaseyAffleck episode:
** Alec Baldwin returns as Trump in the cold open featuring him getting ready for a Christmas party he's hosting. Suddenly, UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin (Beck Bennett) climbs down the chimney with a bag of toys and shirtless (of course) to cheers from the audience. Putin asks Trump if he really believes him over basically the entire American intelligence community, and Trump shrugs and only cares that he won. Putin is appropriately bewildered. He then gifts Trump with an "elf on the shelf" to keep next to his Internet router all year long, and implies he'll give him one for each of his four years. Then Rex Tillerson (Creator/JohnGoodman), Trump's pick for Secretary of State, arrives and is giddy to see "Putie" and vice versa. The two then begin going over their plans to increase their oil production and all, and when Trump asks what's going on, they both insist [[AuthorityInNameOnly he not worry about it]]. They even go "LIVE FROM NEW YORK" without him at first!
** During Affleck's monologue, he ends up dissing both Baldwin and Goodman while bringing up how they've hosted ''SNL'' so many times. When Affleck mentions esteemed, veteran hosts, both men arrive back on stage looking excited... only for Affleck to mention he's not counting them, and they storm off disappointed.
** We get a new version of the "Close Encounter" sketch, this time as one with Santa Claus. Only Ms. Rafferty ended up encountering what's strongly implied to be ''[[TheKrampus]]''. HilarityEnsues.
** We get a parody of the famous scene from Film/LoveActually, only with Kate reprising her role as Hillary Clinton. With her signs, she strongly urges a Republican electoral college member to vote for literally anybody else besides Trump on the following Monday; like John Kasich[[note]]who many liberals/Democrats even feel was the best Republican choice for president in the 2016 election[[/note]], or [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]]... or ''a rock''. Hillary admits she knows in some states there's a $1,000 fine for not voting for Trump, and she responds to that with a giant check.
* From the Creator/FelicityJones episode:
** Felicity tells the audience how she recently starred in a little-known indie film called ''Film/RogueOne''. Saw Gerrera (Kenan Thompson) later shows up with a message, and after he takes a breath from his life support system, Felicity asks what he's breathing. Saw snarks, "wouldn't you like to know?"
*** Tina Fey herself appears in costume as Leia (as a tribute to the recently passed Creator/CarrieFisher) and gives Felicity some of the lowdown on the show's proceedings, including how to know when she won't be the funny one in a sketch, how the writers often play up Leslie Jones as an angry and horny lunatic (only for Jones to indeed show up angry and horny), etc.
** A sketch where Felicity plays a princess cursed by a [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]-esque sorcerer (Kate really hamming it up), and her prince (Beck) promising he will love her no matter what her curse is. The witch reveals that at night, the princess is cursed to gain 15 pounds. The prince is horrified and immediately begins backtracking, even asking if the weight she gains goes all over or to a particular area. Sure enough, he books.
** Kate plays Susan B. Anthony, who is brought to life by a group of women visiting her home in the present day. They thank her for all her hard work as an activist, and then begin to make plans for afterwards. Susan continuously interrupts them, confused at their modern day technology and also spouting various non-sequiturs about her beliefs. Eventually Susan and the ladies make peace, only for Susan to spout a line about abortion that to say the least doesn't sit well with them.
* From the Creator/AzizAnsari episode:
** Aziz gets more than his fair share of hilarious moments during his opening monologue as the show's guest host. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Whde50AacZs&ebc=ANyPxKpeSdYJGkJPkVCBkpjN6luth8VEkaxmV7D1yIgeNLSqSgPYLdWuV13srlEV3EUmtMGlVziv Words cannot do it justice.]]
** Aziz plays a nerdy scientist in a sketch revolving around the game show "Beat the Bookworm", and is smug as can be when the first few categories about science are listed... but screams in horror when the last category is revealed to be about 90's pop culture, as he's completely inept about pop culture due to being so devoted to his studies. He ends up getting every question from the category wrong, from Creator/MichaelJackson to Music/TLC.
** Cecily and Beck play a pair of cops who are fanatic fans of Film/LaLaLand, and interrogate a man who was a casual fan of the movie. Cecily even destroys the interrogation room's window in a rage at one point.
** Creator/KateMcKinnon really gets to shine in a ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''-esque showstopper, depicting Trump's senior adviser (and who many people decry as borderline delusional) Kellyanne Conway's [[IWantSong desire to be famous]] as the reason she's always fighting for Trump. Aside from Kate being one hell of a MsFanservice the entire time, she brings up how the real Conway actually endorsed Ted Cruz a year before the election and claimed Trump was acting unpresidential. Even Jake Tapper (Beck Bennett) joins in on the musical number after a while. Careful viewers will also notice that Kate uses some of the choreography from ''Chicago'', as she mentioned back in "Crucible Cast Party" earlier in the season.
** On Weekend Update, Michael Che's running gag of Michelle Obama's disapproving face, illustrated with "Mm!"
** The pizza skit. With Beck Bennett being the ComicallySerious as a cop taking in a criminal, and Kenan Thompson getting distracted by the animatronics, you half-expect the bots to come to life and murder everyone like in ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.
* From the Kristen Stewart episode:
** The Trump Cold Open where a "tired and cranky" Trump (Baldwin) tries to call various heads of state with disastrous results: insulting Australian Prime Minister Turnbull ([[TruthInTelevision really happened]]), trying to trick Mexican President Nieto to agree to pay for the Wall and then threatening to send in troops to deal with "the bad hombres" ([[RunningGag really happened]]), and scaring German Chancellor Merkel as she begs for Obama to come back ([[RuleOfThree probably happened]]). All the while Steve Bannon (a skeletal GrimReaper) encourages him through each call... before declaring at the end that he thinks that was enough fun for this evening, asking Trump to give him his rightful seat at the President's desk back. Trump immediately obliges as he calls Bannon "Mr. President" and instead moves over his desk -- a kid-sized version of the President's desk -- to play with toys.
*** The phone calls end when Trump tries to call a country that HAS an actual dictator -- Zimbabwe's Mugabe -- where the dictator immediately [[PretenderDiss chews out Trump as a weak wannabe]] ("I will rip out your spine and drink from your skull! You cannot even walk down stairs, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch you little white bitch]]! Don’t you ever call Zimbabwe again!") and hangs up on ''him''.
** Stewart nervously dropping an F-bomb during her monologue, something every long-time viewer of the show knows [[SarcasmMode will go over well with Lorne.]] Stewart even quips that she's probably never coming back now (though at present there's been no announcement of her being blacklisted).
** Another Super Bowl commercial for Totino's Pizza Rolls, where the overworked housewife (Vanessa Bayer) gets some assistance from the lesbian sister (Stewart) of one of the game-watchers... and the [[GirlOnGirlIsHot two women get it on]] - from finger-touching while placing the pizza rolls on an oven tray before stripping and making out on the kitchen table re-enacting ''BlueIsTheWarmestColor'' (even speaking in FRENCH) - while the clueless guys are laser-focused on the game.
** And the winner of the evening (and possibly ''forever''): Creator/MelissaMcCarthy guest-stars as a bullying Sean Spicer - Trump's press secretary - [[http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/see-melissa-mccarthys-epic-takedown-of-sean-spicer-on-snl-w465049 who opens up yelling at the press corps]], threatens to chew gum (consumes an entire container of gum tablets) and punch faces, offering up InsaneTrollLogic, and getting crazier -- including using the oversized podium to pummel reporters -- from there.
*** Highlights:

* From the Alec Baldwin episode:
** Melissa [=McCarthy=] returns as Sean Spicer for the ColdOpen... and she, uh he has been told to cut back [[note]] as a response to the real Sean Spicer's comments[[/note]] on the gum-chewing to just one stick (Spicer pulls out a stick of gum bigger than her head). Spicer proceeds to give a press conference ''crazier'' [[SerialEscalation than the first]], turns it into a QVC sale for Ivanka's canceled line of apparel from Nordstrom's, and ends it by ''driving'' the podium into the reporter pool.
*** A few weeks later, Spicer himself threatened to "make the podium move" during a press briefing. And this was actually a bald-faced defiance of Trump telling him not to acknowledge the show!
** During the Cold Open, Spicer says that Donald Trump is going to take on the 9th Circuit on Series/ThePeoplesCourt... and [[BrickJoke several skits later]], we get exactly that. From Marilyn Milian pointing out that the 9th Circuit judges are "more real than she is" to Donald calling himself "A TV president." Also, Donald saying he's going to call a character witness, to which his son starts to stand, before calling forth a shirtless as ever Vladimir Putin. Putin does a secret handshake with Steve Bannon, Donald, Jr., and tries to give Eric a fist bump... but Eric just claps his hand over Putin's.

*** The skit ends with the revelation that the next case is... Donald Trump suing Nordstrom's.
** Jake Tapper goes home one night to find Kellyanne Conway in lingerie, demanding she be let back on the air [[AttentionWhore to be back in the spotlight]]. Tapper refuses, citing how Conway made up a massacre to try to slam the media ([[RunningGag really happened]]) and how CNN can't have her on if she's going to keep making up stuff and lying. Conway then begins threatening Tapper in a parody of ''Fatal Attraction'' until Tapper agrees to let her on CNN again. Conway thanks Jake, only to fall out of an open window to her apparent death. Her flayed body suddenly repairs itself, and Conway says she's okay, but only has three lives left.
*** The real Jake Tapper reacted with an "Um..." to the sketch, but later admitted it was funny. The real Kellyanne Conway took it in stride too.
** Weekend Update features Senator Elizabeth Warren (Creator/KateMcKinnon), who had been silenced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch [=McConnell=] for reading Coretta Scott King's letter slamming Jeff Sessions, Trump's pick for Attorney General who was denied a judge license in the 1980's for being too racist, the letter having been written back then. Warren says her now famous rallying cry, "nevertheless, she persisted" to big applause [[note]]this was the phrase used by [=McConnell=] when remarking on her being silenced[[/note]], and says she's made Twitter her bitch. Warren goes on to interrogate Colin over the fact that [[BitingTheHandHumor he's credited and paid as a main cast member despite the fact he only appears in Weekend Update]]. She then tries to read a negative review of the episode where Trump hosted the show back in fall 2015.

** Leslie does a sketch where she campaigns to play Trump whenever Alec Baldwin isn't available - especially to piss off the real Trump who was most angry about the fact Spicer was portrayed by a woman. Leslie looks pretty unholy but fitting at the same time, but Lorne refuses her offer. Leslie is carried away screaming after manhandling Lorne, crying that she wants to [[LampshadeHanging show she has range since she's usually cast as a loud, screaming woman]]. Leslie is evicted from the studio, but her appearance fools the passing Melania, and so she hops in the limo.
* From the Octavia Spencer episode:
** The ColdOpen of Jeff Sessions as ForrestGump, talking about his troubles over lying to the Senate committee about talking to Russians and comparing them to his box of chocolates. Using a few too many racially insensitive observations, bumping fists with shirtless Putin ("This meeting never happened." "I wasn't gonna say anything about it anyway!"), and running into Spencer's character from ''TheHelp'' [[spoiler:with her giving Sessions her infamous pie.]]
** Kellyanne Conway randomly showing up throughout the episode in her infamous feet-up pose, not even saying anything or with any attention brought to her.
** The trailer for the one brave Republican who broke from the party line when he couldn't stand by and watch the evils of the Trump administration anymore...To Be Determined (TBD) as soon as someone actually ''does it'' and they can fill in his name and anything he says.
* From the Scarlett Johansson episode:
** The ColdOpen is set in 2018, where Earth is being attacked by aliens. At a military base, Alec Baldwin returns as President Trump, who naturally is more concerned with his lies that he won the popular vote and ''The Apprentice'' (expressing glee when he hears that California has been wiped out, including Arnold). The aliens arrive, and when they ask for the human leader to be surrendered to them, Trump immediately tosses the general to the aliens.
** The opening monologue has Kate and Scarlett interact for the first time since the 2017 Oscars (in which they both presented awards). Kate greets Scarlett with several loving pecks on the cheek (and can be seen checking out Scarlett's lips shortly afterwards), and mentions she went to a really crappy after party following the ceremony. Kenan, who has been on the show since before Scarlett's first time hosting, arrives in a ridiculous bathrobe and orders Kate to do his laundry, and gives Scarlett a compilation tape of her times hosting focusing on ''him''. Scarlett counters with an ad about [[OldShame his role in]] ''Fat Albert''.
** A news report has a royal screw up in which a zoo photographer (Mikey Day) is presented as a zoo pornagrapher by a massive typo in the headlines. It just gets worse as the interview with a reporter (Scarlett) goes on, to the point that the head zookeeper (Kenan) shows up to fire the photographer from the zoo and insist they have no further ties with him. Even better, the ''actual'' zoo tweeted about the skit and joked that they really had no connection with him either.
** A parody promo for two new reality series on Logo TV, one is "Fire Island" about a group of 20 something gay men living in a house on Fire Island(which is a real show) and the other, "Cherry Grove", featuring a cast of affluent lesbians on another beach(played by Scarlett and SNL cast members). While the Fire Island guys spend most of the time partying and hooking up, the "Cherry Grove" cast are taking care of their babies, drinking wine and having emotional conversations with their partners in bed.
** "Complicit" a perfume commercial parody starring Scarlett as Ivanka Trump mocking the new First Daughter's image as the [[TokenGoodTeammate progressive member]] of the Trump family when really she [[AccompliceByInaction does little to help those hurt by her father's policies]].

** A sketch revolving around a dog being given a device to let him speak his mind, but to his owner's (Scarlett) horror, he's a Trump supporter. Everyone reacts in disgust as the dog keeps defending Trump's platform and ideology, but the show-stealer is when the poor dog used in the sketch actually takes the device prop off of his neck. Beck, who was voicing the dog off-screen, rolls with it and [[ThrowItIn throws in the dog demanding it to be taken off of him]]. Scarlett has to return the device to the dog's neck.
** A sketch featuring the filming of an Olive Garden commercial has some really ridiculous prompts and scripting, including casting Leslie Jones as a stereotypically sassy black lady, forcing Kenan to bury his face in pasta, and Scarlett and Mikey having to act aroused.
** Weekend Update features Senator Al Franken (Alex Moffatt) and Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Kate), and when the former tries to get the latter to swear on the Bible, Sessions tries to do it with a fake hand.
** Shud, Kate's disgusting blobfish-mermaid character, returns for another sketch, this time with Mikey Day having to choose between Cecily and Sasheer's beautiful mermaids, and Shud. This time, Shud has brought along her gal-pal Chunk, an angler fish mermaid played by Scarlett. It's even more ridiculous than the last time, and when Mikey tries to escape, Shud and her pal catch him and drag him to their lair for presumably one hell of a threesome. During the whole sketch, Scarlett is grinning like a maniac, clearly having a blast.
** Leslie plays a ninja named Shanice Goodwin, and she and Scarlett storm an enemy compound with some ridiculously terrible guards.
** Scarlett and Aidy directly address the audience and say that the women of SNL participated in the Day Without Women protests earlier in the week, meaning they were unable to help make another sketch. Luckily, Colin Jost and Beck were able to come up with something about feminism and what not. However, the sketch turns out to be just Beck and Kyle going on a tract about women's rights... without letting ''any'' of the female cast members speak. We get a great shot of the majority of the ladies sitting around a table confused and annoyed. Even Lorde (the episode's musical guest) can't even get in a word!
* From the Louis C.K. episode:
** A pair of historical reenactment actors give a rendition of a New York couple from the 1910s that's completely historically accurate, ie dripping with horrible racism. Made even better by how the setup actually makes the multiple times Louis cracks up and flubs his lines still seem perfectly in character, joined in by the similarly breaking Kate (which is a pretty big deal since she almost never breaks).
** A sketch where Louis plays a prosecuting attorney who captivates everyone in the courtroom, male and female, with his gorgeous eyelashes.
** The Weekend Update brings in Kate [=McKinnon=] playing Cecilia Giménez (the amateur restorer who botched a fresco of Jesus) to comment on a Cristiano Ronaldo bust that doesn't resemble him. She ''complimentarily'' describes it as looking like it had a stroke while saying "Cheese!", the facial features as twisting and sucking towards the nose, and so on. In the end, the camera goes to a bust of Colin that she proudly made.
** Louis plays a weird, pathetic guy who hires a kids' birthday clown (Bobby) for his solitary party. The clown gets more and more creeped out, though they seem to form an understanding as Louis apologizes to the clown, who consoles him and is ready to make peace with him... until he finally warns away a couple other kids' entertainers with "You don't want this!" and [[spoiler:blithely accepts the guy casually revealing he's going to murder him and chop off his limbs. "Yeah, that seems about right."]]
** In a rib on internet slacktivism, "Thank You Scott" is a musical number (complete with AWildRapperAppears) praising a guy named Scott who solves the world's problems by sharing news articles on Facebook and Twitter.

** "Sectionals": A bizzare, not-advertisement about a man who loves sectional couches. It's summed up in the opening:

* From the Jimmy Fallon episode:
** Trump (Baldwin) does the Cold Open stuck going over the highlights of his only 100 days with a fawning Mike Pence, and is told he's going to have to make a decision over who gets to run his White House: [[GrimReaper Steve Bannon]] or his shy son-in-law Jared (Fallon). So Trump does it the only way he knows how: hosting another ''TheApprentice'' and judging the final based entirely on who has the better photo head. [[spoiler:He went with Jared's.]]
** It's Easter, so the White House Egg Roll opens with Sean Spicer ([=McCarthy=]) coming out as the Easter Bunny[[note]]TruthInTelevision, Spicer once dressed up as the Bunny during the W. years[[/note]], and Spicy spends most of the presser "apologizing" for his real-world gaffe trying [[GodwinsLaw to compare Syria's Assad]] to [[HitlerAteSugar Hitler]]. He then tries to show how he "gets" Passover by using VeggieTales dolls, and concludes the presser by noting Trump will [[OhCrap bomb North Korea by Monday and that this is likely our last Easter]].
** Jimmy Fallon's ex-girlfriend(Cecily Strong) refuses all his attempts to get her back, and after numerous vague accusations that he knows what he did, it turns out [[spoiler:he's one of the airport cops that pulled the doctor off the United flight that week. And then she finds that the guy she's with now (Bennett) directed the Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial, to which she gives a BigNo.]]
*** Bonus points: [[spoiler: [[BrickJoke The new guy was portrayed by the same actor who played the director in sketch spoofing the Pepsi Commercial the previous week.]]]]
** In "Before the Show", middle school students are excited about playing in an upcoming musical and consider their work a masterpiece. The actual performance is as awkward as everybody remembers middle school theater to be.
** A Civil War sketch where a group of Union soldiers are sitting around the campfire and start singing a 19th century marching chant song "Old New York" and after two verses Jimmy's soldier sings a catchy chorus in the style of a 21st century pop song about a teenage party. It's so much of an EarWorm that the other soldiers join in including the commanding officer and a Confederate prisoner (played by musical guest Harry Styles) who sings the bridge.
** In a montage of background screwups, supporting actors (Creator/JimmyFallon and Mikey Day) try to play basketball and failing horribly in a film shoot, repeatedly disrupting the stars in the foreground trying to have an important conversation.
* From the Chris Pine Episode:
** The ColdOpen parodying [=MSNBC's=] ''Morning Joe'' with hosts Joe Scarborough (Moffat) and Mika Brzezinski ([=McKinnon=]) discussing the House of Representatives repeal of Obamacare while making [[UnresolvedSexualTension not-at-all subtle innuendos]] towards each other [[note]]Scarborough and Brzezinski had announced their engagement days before the episode aired[[/note]]. Later, Scarborough and Brezinski take a call from White House affiliated publicist "John Miller" whose voice on the phone is clearly Donald Trump's (Baldwin) [[note]][[https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-alter-ego-barron/2016/05/12/02ac99ec-16fe-11e6-aa55-670cabef46e0_story.html?utm_term=.0519c5f01a19 This is a reference to the times Trump]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer would pose as a publicist under the pseudonym "John Miller" during phone conversations with reporters]] in order to [[ButHeSoundsHandsome brag about himself]] [[/note]]. During the conversation, "Miller" wishes a happy Cinco de Mayo which according to him is the day [[CriticalResearchFailure every Mexican eats a sink full of mayonnaise]] [[note]]Cinco de Mayo is meant to commemorate Mexico's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 during the Franco-Mexican War[[/note]], before revealing that the White House hosted a huge party to celebrate the Obamacare repeal only for Scarborough to point out that the bill still needs to pass the Senate.

*** Towards the end of the cold open, the flirting between Joe and Mika ends in the most bizarre way possible. [[note]]Only [=McKinnon=] could make nose biting sexy.[[/note]]
** With Pine hosting, there ''had'' to be a ''Star Trek'' skit... with Pine pulling off a believably hammy Shatner-as-Kirk impression. The skit itself is a "Lost" episode involving [[spoiler:Spock's half-brother Spocko from Brooklyn.]]
** Spoofing [[WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSanDiego children's television]] with a pitch-perfect "Where Is the World Is Kellyanne Conway?" where contestants try to figure out where the White House had hidden Conway as it'd been weeks since she appeared on the news channels to defend Trump. When they bring out the two contestants, the kids are asked "Are you ready to find Kellyanne Conway?"

* From the Melissa [=McCarthy=] episode:
** It's already hit a Crowning Moment of Funny before it even aired: [[http://gizmodo.com/melissa-mccarthy-is-riding-the-sean-spicer-podium-outsi-1795162855 Twitter exploded with pictures]] of [=McCarthy=] dressed as Sean Spicer driving that podium down the streets of New York.
** From the ColdOpen where Lester Holt (Che) is interviewing Trump (Baldwin): Trump openly admits he fired FBI Director Comey over the investigation into Russia's alleged interference of the 2016 election.

*** And Trump reveals he can do ''anything'' now because the Republican Congress are in the palm of his hands. To demonstrate, he has Speaker Paul Ryan come out to give him his two scoops of ice cream.[[note]]An insider's report on the White House revealed Trump gets two scoops to everyone else's one.[[/note]]
** Spicy's Back. The press briefing starts off with Spicer ([=McCarthy=]) hiding among the bushes[[note]]based on the RealLife hiding he did during the evening of the Comey firing[[/note]] and then charging back into the room to take command when the press starts hinting that his substitute Sarah Huckabee Sanders take his place. Spicer goes into yet another crazy bout of shouting, props, and denials about the "Russia thing", and when the reporters keep insisting Trump is close to firing him Spicer [[SerialEscalation pulls out a Roman column from the wall to toss into the pack]].
*** And then confronted with the possibility that Trump is lying to ''him'', Spicer starts to worry and angrily drives the podium out of the room, sprinting off (via map) to New York City to confront Trump. [[AlasPoorVillain As Spicy drives about in despair]] to a haunting SimonAndGarfunkel "Only Living Boy In New York," he wheels the podium about town begging Trump "I promise to talk better!" and finding gum on the street to chew. Finally reaching Trump Tower, Spicer demands to talk to his boss only for the doorman to sadly tell him "Trump doesn't come here anymore."
*** Cut to "A New Jersey Golf Course"[[note]]Trump has been spending nearly every weekend traveling to his golf club properties, undermining the arguments Republicans had that Obama golfed too much.[[/note]] where Spicer finally confronts Trump... and Trump offers a tearful Spicer a BigDamnKiss which he warns Spicer is also a KissOfDeath like in ''TheGodfather.''
** The game show "Just Desserts!" where the insane rules make it so that only one contestant (played by [=McCarthy=]) gets hit in the face with pie. And sprinkles. And cake. And more sprinkles. And...
** A spoof ad introduces an Amazon Echo for the "greatest generation", meaning it makes a lot of stereotypical old people jokes, and starts out by saying that the device will respond to any name that sounds remotely like "Alexa" (Allegra, Odessa, Excedrin, etc.). The commercial ends with a screen saying the viewer can make 3 easy payments of $9.99 and can send a check or money order to Amazon.com. Amazon [[https://twitter.com/amazon/status/863631221959434240 took the joke in stride]].
