yendiWell, not legally. I'm sure it'll pop up here and there.
The final skit on Saturday's season finale was a perfect example of quirky, surreal humor, the kind of stuff that doesn't create Adam Sandler/Rob Schneider catchphrases or lead to an immediate belly laugh, but which is awkward and wonderful.
It featured Will Farrell, Kenan Thompson, Bill Hader, and Darrell Hammond at a bar in a train station, grabbing an after-dinner drink. After a few jokes, one of them mentioned his plan to visit South Asia, and asked Farrell about his trip there. Farrell stood, joined the band, and started singing "Goodnight, Saigon," even as his friends acted confused, as they know he just vacationed there last year.
The skit kept escalating between triggering comments from the friends and the performance, with the small SNL band eventually growing, featuring every single cast member (other than the three still sitting at the table), musical guests Green Day, Maya Rudolph, Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Anne Hathaway, Amy Poehler, and Elizabeth Moss. Most of them played (or pretended to play) musical instruments.
It was utterly insane. No, there was never a belly laugh, but it was a perfect skit with which to end the season. If you can find it online, grab it.
