they really did a great job writing to Bargatze’s comedy and self-observations; the deflections alone anytime Keenan talked really fit to Nate’s self-deprecating or underconfident persona, I guess like the Lincoln sketch for Louie even though that was a direct parody of his show
Despite its inconsistent quality, I watch SNL every week, and this is my favorite sketch I’ve seen in at least a decade. While it may not earn the same reputation, I think it deserves to stand right alongside cowbell and Matt Foley as an all time classic. Everything about it is pitch perfect.
As an emigrant that after 20 years here still can’t grasp the USA measurements I’m so glad what I feel about them is an universal feeling 😉 plus the football bit ;))
The last few episodes of SNL were pretty weak and I was worried. But Saturday’s was great overall. Walken and Dave Grohl just happening to be there was probably a hedge on the part of the show runners but Nate Bargatze did pretty well
Damn that was good.
The script was tight and clever.
The background score was just the right amount of rousing.
The occasional questions about equality were perfectly inserted.
Very funny SNL skit this week.
Nate Bargatze was perfect for this role, rare great sketch from SNL
Glamorous bit.
They should’ve slipped in ‘freedom isn’t free son’ – before he walked off.
Keenan is awesome as always!
Fun Fact: Pirates are one of the reasons we did not switch to metric.
One of the best sketches I’ve seen in a long time and one of the few I’ve ever laughed the whole way through.
One of the best SNL episodes in a long, long, LONG time.
Does anyone have a mirror for Canada?
Okay, that was a great skit. Amazing timing and delivery and everything. 😆

This was how I learned 1ton is 2 thousands pounds.

Bargatze deserves everything coming his way. He seems like such a nice, down to earth funny dude. Watched him for years. Way to go.
nate bargatze’s “The Tennessee Kid” on netflix is one of the best stand-up specials in the past 5 years
“There’s a little kicking.”
Seeing Nate Bargatze on SNL feels like we shifted timelines.

Everyone crushed it this weekend
Fantastic SNL this weekend. Nate Bargatze was hilarious, especially in this sketch. Really stoked he crushed it.
You fools! It’s the British imperial system! It was a ruse all along
Very funny sketch, up there at the top with Monkey Judge, What’s That Name, Most Evil Invention.
For what it’s worth, 1,000lbs is a “kip.” It’s just not well known because it’s mostly used in engineering.
Take note Lorne- more comedians on SNL. This show was one of the best over the last few years.
