Agree 100%! I absolutely lost it when I saw the menu being used as a flag!

I actually didn’t find that the least bit funny.

If NBC canceled Saturday Night Live based solely on that skit, I would completely understand their decision.

Last night was my favorite episode of the season and that sketch was just the cherry on top.

People saying that the skit wasn't funny somehow makes it even funnier.

It wasn't that it wasn't funny- it was lazy.  Really,  a Les Miz parody about ordering lobster at a diner? Pete Davison obviously thought it was hysterical.

Meh.

That’s exactly what made it funny. The absurdity.

Mulaney tweeted that he wrote this when he worked on SNL 8-10 years ago and it never made it past the writer's room.  Same with the Switcheroo skit

And the fact that he wrote it that long ago and it was rejected makes it even funnier!

You need to prove to your robot that your not a robot so that you can see your own stuff.

Okay, but let's take a moment on how the two guys (I don't know their names ._.) playing the customers are trying so hard to not lose their s**t

This was BONKERS and I loved it.

Mulaney and Jost wrote it years ago, it turns out:

Me neither.  Kate McKinnon is typically the only funny person on the show, although I do have a soft spot for Pete Davidson because he can make me laugh.  I'm still trying to figure out how Kenan Thompson is still in the cast.  He is awful.  I guess the talented ones get other jobs so he's still there.

Well that explains why I thought it was so amateurish.  It really felt like a skit for highschool.  All the jokes were so obvious and just unfunny.

Yeah, that's just so obvious.

The things that make people on here turn their noses up is mindboggling sometimes.

A skit doesn't have to be deep or dark to be funny. It can just be absurd.

Yeah.  If I had a nickel for every time I heard a joke about someone ordering lobster in a diner and the lobster breaking out into a scene from LES MIZ, I'd have, let's see....... FIVE CENTS!

Jesus Christ some of you people are humorless.

My question: did anyone love this skit who hates Mulaney's major work (Oh Hello, Big Mouth) or vice versa? This seems like a fairly obvious litmus test for Mulaneyism.

Pete and Leslie Jones continually laugh in every sketch they are in, and frankly their attempts to stop laughing seem forced and contrived. I wonder if Loren ever talks to them about it, since it's well known he does not want his actors breaking character unless the script specifically calls for it. 

It was a cute sketch, nothing I'll be replaying over and over (unlike "Twin Bed" which I seem to play every day still! LOL).

I love Les Miz, i like the premise of the skit but don't really get the purpose or humor of the Les Miz tie in.
