John Mulaney's SNL: Must-See Sketches That'll Make You Laugh 'Til You Cry
John Mulaney's SNL hosting gig was a total home run. He's a comedic genius, and his episodes were filled with so many hilarious sketches, it was hard to pick favorites. But I'm here to help you out. These are the must-see sketches that will make you laugh 'til you cry – and maybe even re-watch them a few times (no judgment here).
The "Diner Lobster" Sketch
This sketch is chef's kiss perfect. Mulaney plays a diner waiter who's totally over the restaurant's new lobster menu. He's got the deadpan delivery down pat, and the whole thing is just hilariously awkward. Plus, there's a lobster involved. What's not to love?
"What's the Deal with Airline Food?"
Mulaney's stand-up routine is iconic, and this sketch is a brilliant take on his classic "What's the Deal with…" bit. He tackles the mystery of airline food, and the frustration of trying to eat it. It's relatable, funny, and pure Mulaney magic.
"The Rider"
This sketch is wild, folks. Mulaney plays a pretentious actor who's got a ridiculous rider for his performance. The whole thing is a satire on celebrity entitlement, and it's laugh-out-loud funny. You'll be quoting the "It's a lot of water" line for days.
"That's My Purse!"
This sketch features a legendary performance by Cecily Strong. She plays a woman who's completely out of her mind, and she's convinced Mulaney is stealing her purse. The whole thing is absolute chaos, but it's so funny you can't help but love it.
"It's a Long Story"
Mulaney's signature style is on full display in this sketch. He plays a guy who's telling a story that's way too long, and way too complicated. It's relatable to anyone who's ever gotten lost in the weeds of a conversation.
