You’re ride or die?..... for Weezer??? Great sketch.
this isn't random, this is real shit dude.
No offense but drink my blood.
Sometimes late at night I think about this sketch and the forces that had to align to make it come to life. It's such an authentically narrow premise, like someone wrote this drunk with their friends at 3am in a dorm room and then sat on it for 10 years. Then they got a job in the SNL writers room where they just ground out political joke after quirky game show premise after Kate McKinnon showcase until finally, like stumbling across a genies lamp in an Astoria thrift shop, they got a "1 free sketch" pass from Lorne in a gift exchange.
How else could this have gotten green lit? What was the pitch? Who's it made for? I mean I love every second of it, but that's because I've basically lived the sketch. But most people? You can even hear it in the audience, how taken aback they are by it. Confused, driven to laugh only by the very absurdity of this sketch existing. Is that it? Is the punchline supposed to be that it got made in the first place? Is that how they got the go ahead?
These are the questions that keep me awake some nights. And I'll never get the answer.
Pretty similar to this sketch https://youtu.be/f4Q7F-XKA0o

There are two kinds of Weezer fans: the ones that think Pinkerton is their best albums and the ones that don’t exist, because I’ve never met anyone that disagrees.
I think they were just reading an internet post comment section about Weezer...
