Ugh The skit was horrible. I was hoping for a real prince impression

I thought the joke was pretty fuckin stupid and didn’t go anywhere, but Daniel Craig is always funny so that was a good surprise.

This was funny but makes me nervous for if they ever do a biopic. They just should not ever try tbh. Fred Astaire forbid one of him after he died. Some people you just can't capture and shouldn't try. He is all in his music anyway.

Bad episode but I always like seeing Prince being mentioned.

[u/notoneofyourfans]

I just enjoy Prince still being out there in the lexicon....
