John Mulaney's Musical: A Hilarious Ride with Pete Davidson on SNL
Let's be real, John Mulaney's musical, "Oh, Hello on Broadway," was a wild ride! And who better to help him showcase the musical's craziness than his good friend, the one and only Pete Davidson? Their SNL performance of "D I C K" was one for the ages, and it's still a classic, even if it's a little, shall we say, spicy.
A Look at the Musical
The musical, which starred Mulaney and Nick Kroll, was a hilarious satire about two old guys, Gil and George, living in New York City. They were a little strange, a little dysfunctional, but hey, they were just trying to get through life in their own special way. Think "Seinfeld" meets "Curb Your Enthusiasm" with a dash of Broadway flair, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the musical's vibe.
Pete Davidson's Entrance
The SNL sketch kicked off with Mulaney introducing the musical to the audience. But, guess what? Pete Davidson suddenly pops up and throws a wrench into the whole thing. The sketch played on their real-life friendship, with Pete giving Mulaney a hard time about the musical, even though it's clear he's a huge fan (and a little jealous). This dynamic is gold, and it's no wonder everyone was cracking up.
The "DICK" Song
The real kicker, though, was the performance of "D I C K". It was a song about… well, you can probably guess what it was about. It was filled with nonsensical lyrics, a bit of a chaotic melody, and some seriously questionable dance moves. It was so out there, so strange, so perfectly ridiculous that it instantly became iconic. It was like watching a train wreck, but one you couldn't look away from.
The SNL Legacy
The skit's success proves that John Mulaney and Pete Davidson are a comedic dream team. It also showcased the power of SNL to take a seemingly random, unexpected idea and turn it into a viral sensation. It's not just about the music, but about the personalities involved, the off-the-wall humor, and the sheer absurdity of it all. The sketch is a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected things can be the most hilarious. So, if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Just be prepared for a wild ride.
