Like it or not, this sketch has become a staple. I wonder when, since Paul Rudd actually passed the “not-breaking” test, they’ll do it again. If not soon, then this is definitely the kind of sketch I can see them bringing back if (or should I say when) Kate ever returns as a guest.

♪♪ ♪♪ [ Static hisses ] -Thank you all for being here. I'm Gloria Harman from the Paranormal Research Institute, and this is Dr. Isaac Lund, Head of Parapsychology at Stanford. -Now, we're quite interested in your case, as your encounter has yielded verifiable evidence proving the existence of ghosts. -I mean, this is wild. Like, we were just three buds staying at an old hotel, and now we see dead people. -So, what happened when the entities first appeared? -Um, I was in my room, and, like, I felt goose bumps and saw, like, a glowing presence near me and a beautiful woman named Abigail. She needed my help to cross over. -Yeah, I was watching "Ant-Man and The Wasp" on the hotel TV, which I was liking. I find the concept of shrinkin' pretty irresistible. It's just, like, exciting to me, I don't know. -Right. Yeah, that's great. But can we focus on your contact with the spirit? -Oh, yeah, you bet. That's when I saw a man -- Arthur -- wearing a crisp suit and a real friendly smile. He, too, clearly had some unfinished business here. -And you, Ms. Rafferty. -Yeah, um, a little different for me. I, uh -- I first got the hunch something strange was afoot when I yawned and 1,000 bees flew out of my open mouth. [ Laughter ] -And did an entity also materialize before you? -Yeah, except my ghost crawled out of the TV, "Ring" style. [ Laughter ] -And this guy was like -- Picture Danny DeVito got hit by a train, right? And he goes, "I'm Toby! Let's go!" And then he yanks me out of bed, and, mind you, I'm wearing my PJs. That's an XL men's "No Fear" t-shirt and ankle socks. So I'm running through the hotel giving guests a nice view of my fuzzy and my scuzzy. [ Laughter ] Between you, me, and the coconut tree, sir, it's a jungle down there. I don't have a landing strip so much as I got an abandoned airfield. [ Laughter ] Hey, an experienced pilot can land anywhere, right? -Damn straight. [ Laughter ] -And were you two also led away by these spirits? -Yeah, Abigail took my hand and gently guided me to a nursing home nearby. It became clear, like, I was some sort of messenger. -Arthur guided me across the street to a closed-down theater. I got the sense it was something of a homecoming for him. -What? These two are making pottery with Patrick Swayze. Meanwhile, Beetlejuice got me on one of those bird scooters... [ Laughter ] ...looking for his ex-girlfriend Shana's apartment. And my nightshirt's snapping like a sail in a stiff breeze, so my baby tunnel and gravy funnel are in full view of traffic. [ Laughter ] Cars are slowing down, they're honking. They're screaming, "Put some pants on!" [ Laughter ] Look at me, still stopping traffic at 27 years old. [ Laughter ] -You're only 27? I'm sorry. Um... Now, what was this unfinished business these spirits needed you for? -Oh, well, Abigail takes me to the bedside of this sleeping old woman, and it was her daughter. She says, "Tell her she was right." -Hmm. In the theater, Arthur got onstage and he began to sing and dance, and suddenly the theater looked as it did in its prime. It was magical. Like watching "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" for the first time. [ Laughter ] -Well, once again, I take the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference. Because when we got to Shana's place, Toby says in order for him to cross over I got to, quote, "Upper deck that bitch's toilet." -I'm sorry, "upper deck?" -Yeah. Ever the gentleman, Toby explained that's when you do your business in the toilet tank instead of the bowl. The only problem is, I don't got to go. No torpedo in the tube. You get what I'm saying, ma'am? -Yes. Yes, I do. Continue. -Right, right. So I head into Shana's bathroom and I climb up there like -- Pardon me, Kirk. Yeah, I got -- I got one foot over here on the TP holder, right, and the other foot on the sink. Now, I'm in a Van Damme split just trying to get an assist from gravity, trying to kind of rock one loose, pushing as hard -- Like, real vein strainer, just sort of -- And not even a pellet. I'm going, you know, and I'm -- I'm shaking, and I got nothing, man! I got nothing! After 30 minutes... [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] ...it became clear the groundhog wasn't gonna see its shadow, so I called it. Wasn't an ideal end to the night, but at least I wasn't alone on my birthday. -[ Chuckling ] [ Laughter ] -Well, happy belated birthday. How did the spirits depart? -Well, a light appeared above, and I don't know if it was heaven or what, but Abigail smiled and walked into it. -Mmm. The same light came for Arthur. As he stepped into it, I gave him a standing ovation. -See, you know, that really rips my nips. [ Laughter ] Because, man, Toby just bailed on me -- poof, he's gone. Just in time for Shana to get home. So I scoot myself out of the window and I'm shimmying down that drain pipe with my "Please hump it" and my cheese trumpet splayed for the neighborhood. And I'm thinking, Colleen, you can't be staying up all night putting your body through this. Patrick and Ryan are gonna be furious. -I'm sorry, who are Patrick and Ryan? -The gay couple whose baby I'm carrying. I'm a surrogate, pal. [ Laughter ] -Well, thank you. And now we'd like to take you for some more tests. -You got an ultrasound machine? Because Patrick or Ryan are begging for an update. [ Cheers and applause ] [ Projector clicking ] [ Static hisses ] -I'm Agent Morris with the NSA, and this is Special Agent Kirkpatrick. Now we know you've all been through quite an ordeal, so we appreciate you making the trip to Washington on such short notice. -Yes, you three experienced the first verified case of alien abduction, so naturally you are of great interest to the United States government. -This is nuts, man. I mean, we're just small-town buds who saw a UFO in the woods. I mean, now we're hanging out with the government. -Okay. Now, after the blue light pulled you into the spacecraft, what is your next memory? -I came to and saw a beautiful being made of, like, a beautiful, calming light. -Yeah, same here. That being touched my head, and I felt every emotion in its purest form. It was amazing, and I cried, sir. -Okay. And you, Ms. Rafferty? -Wow. What floor were you guys on? I woke up in a dirty metal dome, and 40 little gray aliens watched me pee in a steel bowl. Then they took the bowl, walked out. -Interesting. Were these beings also bathed in light? -Uh, no. No. They were, uh, gray with big, fat eyes and little mouths. They just stared while I peed. [ Laughter ] I don't think I was dealing with the top brass. [ Laughter ] -And how did they instruct you to urinate? Was that telepathically? -Uh, no, no. I, uh, woke up. I had to pee like a camel. So, uh, I started peeing, and one of the gray aliens slapped the wall and pointed at the bowl, so I got the hint. I kind of duck-walked over to the bowl, peed in it. -Yes. I-I see. Now, when you all awoke, were you clothed? -I was wrapped in, like, a robe made out of warm, glowing energy. -Yeah, like a blanket made out of pure love. -Yeah, a little different for me. Um... [ Laughter ] I, uh -- I had my shirt I came in with, but my pants were gone. So, uh, my coot-coot was out. I was full Porky-Piggin' it in a drafty dome. -Hmm. -Now, did you all stay on the same ship the entire time? Or... -Well, you know, my body did, but my consciousness was showing what lies beyond time and space. It was so beautiful. I'm sorry. I'm just crying about it, just thinking about it a little bit. -Okay. Do you need a tissue? -What? No, it's all right. I'll just -- I'll use my shirt. -Um, the aliens showed my mind the furnace of all creation -- what we would call "God." -What? [ Laughter ] These fancy cats are seeing God. Meanwhile, I'm starting phase 2, which is me sitting on a stool while 40 gray aliens take turns gently batting my knockers around. [ Laughter ] Did y'all get the knocker stuff? -Uh, no, no knocker stuff. Sorry. -And did you feel threatened, Ms. Rafferty? -No. No, no, no, no, no. They were, uh -- they were real respectful about it. They were -- they were in a line... [Chuckles] and then, one by one, they'd step up, slap a knocker, and then go to the end of the line, wait for another turn. And it didn't hurt. It was like -- I'm sorry, pardon me, Sharon. It was kind of like that. No harm, no foul. -That kind of hurts a little. That hurts. -Um, perhaps they were collecting biological data? -No. No, that felt super off-the-books. [ Laughter ] I swear to God, there was one gray alien by a door, just kind of...peeking. [ Chuckles ] You know? I think he was the lookout. [ Laughter ] Look, it wasn't my worst Wednesday night. [ Laughter ] -And how did the aliens return you all to Earth? -Oh, I was carried down gently. [ Laughter ] He's cryin'. I was carried down gently in a cradle of light and placed into a soft bed of wildflowers. [ Laughter ] -Yeah. Yeah. The light, uh, laid me down like a baby in a meadow near my house. I was smiling and weeping tears of joy, sir. -All right. Well, now, this miffs me a little bit. [ Laughter ] 'Cause, uh, my grand exit was out of what was basically like a big airplane toilet, okay? I, uh -- shoot. I dropped down 7 feet onto the roof of a Long John Silver's. They threw out my pants separately. They missed the roof. My slacks landed in a frickin' pine tree 30 feet away, so I had to just chill up there with my damn coot-coot and prune chute hanging out till the place opened up. [ Laughter ] -Man. -Man, you got screwed. -Oh, you think, Todd? -Well, we'd like to take you guys for physical examinations now. -Yeah. All right. There gonna be any knocker stuff? -Um, possibly. I'm sorry. -Oh, no. Don't be. Just be gentle, 'cause they're pretty banged up. Tell me about God. What's God's deal? [ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you all for coming. I'm Dr. Markowitz with NASA, and this is Dr. Hanley with the Institute of Temporal Anomalies. -We're obviously very interested in your story, as you are the first three people to have experienced a verified time-travel event. -Man, this is bananas. I mean, we were just three buds watching TV, and now we're, like, quantum pioneers. -Now please tell us how this time portal appeared. -Well, I got a free one-month trial to the Showtime channel. So, we was watching "Ray Donovan," and, you know, I'm a fan. I'm a sucker for conflicted heroes -- good person, bad deeds. That dichotomy is very rich to me. -Yeah, Wonderful, sir, but if you could focus on the time travel. -Oh, right. Well, so, me and her -- we was on the couch when this glowing, majestic gateway appeared. We drifted into it and found ourselves in a gorgeous city made entirely of crystal or something. -Yeah, and, like, we were welcomed by a group of people made up of, like, all the races of the world, and they said, "We are the Council of Humanity. This is the future." It was so beautiful. -And you, Ms. Rafferty? [ Laughter ] -A little different for me. I must have been on the wrong side of the portal or something, because I wasn't so much welcomed to the future as I was violently sucked a million years into the past. [ Laughter ] I went to caveman times, man. Got yanked so hard that my sweats and my sneaks stayed in the present, and I land ass up, face down in the mud with my cooter and my tooter on full display. You know, and I'm thinking, "Last time I was in this position, I got kicked out of Woodstock '99." [ Laughter ] -And were there people there to welcome you as well? -"People" is such a strong word. They were -- You know on the evolution chart where you see how monkeys became human? Yeah, these guys hadn't hit the halfway mark yet. [ Laughter ] -Let's focus on what happened in the future. -Well, the Council of Humanity showed us their city. -Yeah, it was so beautiful. I would have wept, but, you know, I was all cried out from watching "Nurse Jackie" on Showtime. -Probably enough Showtime stuff, Dex. -You know, these two are walking around Wakanda. Meanwhile, where I'm at, it's "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes," because all 50 of these hairy, naked monkey people are swarming at me, and they start rubbing me with their butts. And I don't know if you've ever been on the business end of 50 balloon knots, but it ain't exactly a Tuscan sunset. [ Laughter ] -Uh, perhaps this was some sort of primitive religious ritual? -Buddy, God had no part in this. They were -- They were marking me with their scent. And these guys weren't exactly Zestfully clean, right? So, they zebra-striped my T-shirt so much, I looked like a Foot Locker employee. [ Laughter ] But, hey, it's never easy making new friends, right? -Noted. And what happened next in the future? -We was taken to this place called The Oculus, and inside was all these gateways to other solar systems. -Yeah, yeah. And in each one was a planet they'd colonized. I couldn't believe I was chosen to witness this. -Well, I, too, was chosen -- chosen by the alpha female to be her new girlfriend. She comes at me like a silverback, right? She just rag-dolls me. And, look, I ain't really into ladies, but if nothing else is open, I'll eat at a Taco Bell. You smell what I'm saying? [ Laughter ] -Yes, I think I do. -Right, right. So, anyway, this gal wants to bond, right? So, I'm sorry. You mind, Dex? Yeah, she climbs on my back, right? She starts picking at me, you know, looking for stuff to eat. And, unfortunately, she's finding a buffet. So, I guess the snack got her in the mood, 'cause then she starts, like, grinding into my head. She was trying to mate with my hair, I guess. She's using my face for, like, a handhold, right? And then she goes back to eating and she climbs around the front, and then she sees my ear, which I guess she thinks is some kind of vending machine, because she's just... [ Babbling ] [ Slurping ] She's candling, but there ain't no wax. [ Slurping, exhaling ] [ Babbles ] -Okay. Then, for the grand finale, she reaches down. She pops a finger up my keister, like it's our second date or something. And I'm like, "Hey, Curious Georgina, last person to try that never saw his wedding ring again." [ Laughter ] -Yes. Thank you for that. -No problem. And thank you, Dex. Yes. -Your jeans rug-burned my neck. -Oh, yeah? Poor you. I got bush-smushed by a cavewoman. You'll live. -Now, how were you all brought back to the present? -Well, the portal opened up beside us, and the council said, "When fear is replaced by trust, your world will begin to change." And then we were home. -Yeah. It was the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me, right up there with getting that e-mail that said, "You've been selected for a free month of the Showtime channel." [ Laughter ] -See, now, that's some piss in my porridge, 'cause when I dove in the portal to get home -- still pantsless, mind you -- I landed downward dog in a Grand Hyatt ballroom with my clam casino and my bean burrito right up in Barry Levine's face. -And who is Barry Levine? -Young man who's never gonna forget his Bar Mitzvah, that's who. [ Laughter ] -All right, well, we would like to take you all for a medical exam. -Yeah. that might be a problem. I got zero health insurance. [ Cheers and applause ]
