Still, something like this might have been nice.
As usual, this weeks sketches are presented here ranked from best to worst.
Michael Ches emphatic delivery makes jokes about post-COVID erectile dysfunction and Liz Cheney work particularly well.
(Theyre also good jokes, with smart points to make, so that helps.)
It goes on too long, but Dismukes is calmly confident and his material is not without its charms.
Its an unsettling character, well done.
And Freudian-slip lovers, listen closely as McKinnon subs in fucks for folks after watching the airplane sex scene.
They dont, and it gets ugly.
Unsurprisingly, their partnership is excellent.

All of it is very well observed, and each characters introduction ends with a sharply written joke.

The real star, though, is Gardner.
Watching the pants-less man slowly fall apart is just a little heartbreaking.
The jokes feel a little canned and one-note, but theres still fun here.
