SNL Recap: Michael Keaton's Top Sketches, From "The Power of the Dog" to That Hilarious Commercial

Okay, let's be real, Michael Keaton, you're a legend. And Saturday Night Live knew exactly what they were doing when they tapped him to host. Dude, this guy was on FIRE! It wasn't just his charisma that shone through, it was the fact that he was down to really commit to some of the weirdest, most hilarious sketches.

The Power of the Dog: A "Live" Sketch That Was Just Genius

We've all seen the Oscar-nominated movie, right? So, seeing this sketch parody it, with Keaton as the steely-eyed, brooding cowboy, was just chef's kiss. It wasn't just the acting, though, it was the vibe the sketch captured. That sense of unspoken tension and simmering sexual tension was spot-on. And let's not forget the absolute gem of a line: "I'm just gonna sit here, in the rain, watching my son's dog." Pure gold, man.

"The Power of the Dog" wasn't Keaton's only shining moment, though. His commercial for a totally fictitious medication, "Calm Down," was another hilarious highlight.

You know, the kind of ad where they're just throwing random, absurd scenarios at you? Like, Keaton suddenly getting into a heated argument with a parking meter? Or a woman walking a giant hamster? That's how you know the SNL writers were having fun, man. And Keaton played it to the hilt.

But My Personal Favorite? The "Weekend Update" Cold Open

That one was just so unexpected, and it totally caught me off guard. And by "totally caught me off guard," I mean it was exactly the kind of thing you expect from SNL's cold open, with Keaton somehow convincing a bunch of people to dress as him. That's dedication, right there, people.

It really hammered home the point that Keaton's got that classic SNL vibe. He can be serious, funny, and self-aware all at the same time. Honestly, it was the kind of episode where you had to catch every single sketch, just to make sure you didn't miss anything.

And you know what? I'm gonna be honest, I'm already looking forward to seeing Keaton back on SNL again. This guy's a natural, and his comedic timing? Just perfection.

So, what were your favorite Keaton sketches? Let me know in the comments!
