Zach in the red M&M costume starts his big apology by telling the Pakistani coworker he spent all day calling her the wrong kind of Indian, then asks if “Pakistani” is her tribe before greeting her with a full “How!” like he just solved it. He keeps going like this is a sincere make-good. To the guy born in Minnesota he says he called him dirty Mexican a lot but he’s a total slob so maybe he doesn’t deserve to be in the country either. Then he points at a brown M&M and announces to the room “it’s Black Joe” before starting “Swing low…” while Kenan has to be physically held back. The bit that still gets me is how completely convinced he is that he’s the reasonable one in the room the whole time. The coworkers look like they’re one sentence from losing it and he just keeps treating every correction as a small bump in an otherwise thoughtful process

The SNL sketch where the entire earthquake coverage is derailed because every single person trapped in the collapsed Social Security building was there to legally change their name. Donald McRonald trying to become a Johnson, Mark Peanus, Holden Tudiks (who went alone because he thought his parents would be mad), A. Hitler “hailed as a hero,” Dr. Donna Diddadog, Julia N who insists her last name is pronounced like “cigar,” and the anchor is just Carol Kumdungeon the whole time. The absolute best part is Kate McKinnon’s anchor getting called out for every single earthquake pun and just calmly going “Yes.” No defense, no apology, pure shamelessness. And Pete Davidson as the firefighter completely loses it in the background at Holden Tudiks like he wasn’t even supposed to be in the sketch. This is the kind of stupid that only works because everyone committed so hard to playing it completely straight.
