Funny Mother’s Day Sketches to Watch on Saturday Night Live
SNL has a history of celebrating Mother’s Day. In the sketch “Mother’s Day Gifts,” Aidy Bryant plays a woman who opens up an endless supply of mom core signs.
However, she has a drinking problem, so she can’t be expected to help her kids with everything. So, she’s left with a choice: go to work or go out for a drink! If you’re looking for a funny sketch to watch with your mom, look no further!
Benedict Cumberbatch
In his latest appearance on Saturday Night Live, Benedict Cumberbatch spoofs his role as screen hearthrob Dr. Strange. The actor starred in a monologue about his love for his mother and wife Sophie, in which he nodded to the titular character.
As his monologue concluded, Cumberbatch whipped his hands like his character’s, adding “you’re welcome!” to the audience.
The British actor starred alongside James Austin Johnson and Chris Redd in a funny chain-gang skit. The sketch featured impressive sound design, including hammer blows that gave the sketch a rhythmic impact.
In addition to Cumberbatch, Kyle Mooney and Heidi Gardner also starred. The sketch also featured a touching tribute to his wife Sophie, who is the mother of his three sons.
“Blue Bunny” also featured an excellent singing performance by Cumberbatch. The show’s director, Bowen Yang, had the idea to use the band’s name and image as a metaphor for the relationship between a man and a woman. But the sketch didn’t get as far as it should have. Cumberbatch’s voice, along with that of his co-star Bowen Yang, was a pleasant surprise.
The sketch was based on a leaked Supreme Court majority decision. Justice Samuel Alito relied heavily on English legal philosophy, which dates back over 800 years. The sketch also featured references to the movie “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and Will Smith’s controversial Oscars slap.
The sketch has gained a wide following amongst viewers, and critics have praised Cumberbatch’s portrayal of the character.
“Lean Back” improved on Cumberbatch’s first episode, while “New Toilet” was an improvement. In the final episode, Cumberbatch plays an old-fashioned rancher, while Strong and McKinnon play a focus-group member for ice cream brand Blue Bunny. The episode ended with a surprise for both actors. So, what could possibly go wrong?
Kate McKinnon
Kate McKinnon’s ‘Mother’s Day’ sketch is a hilarious and witty parody of the holiday, and one that will have you laughing out loud. The sketch, based on a true story, reunites two mothers who are struggling to find the perfect gift for their mothers.
Unlike many other mother’s day sketches, McKinnon’s takes on this holiday are not only funny but heartwarming, and will make you laugh.
The mother in this sketch is a lesbian who accidentally invites an old lady to dinner. The old lady asks the teen about race and religion, which makes the teen even more horrified. Kate McKinnon’s mother-themed sketch is the perfect way to give your mom a memorable gift. It is also perfect for any mother-daughter bonding activity, as it includes plenty of laughs for everyone.
On Saturday Night Live, Kate McKinnon portrays a mom on ‘Mother Knows Best’. The sketch’s theme is “Mother’s Day,” and the two play a mother and son who are attempting to make a game show of their relationship. In the end, the mom and son team up and win! However, not everyone is so fortunate.
Whether the mother was a woman or a man, the audience was entertained in a hilarious way during Kate McKinnon’s “Mother’s Day” sketch. The show was a hit, as the two women portrayed in the sketch have since appeared in numerous Saturday Night Live sketches.

The sketch’s premise is based on a real-life conversation between a woman and her daughter. Brie Larson, the show host, is pregnant with her first child on July 14, and her guests suggest she get a ‘The Cut’ haircut for the day. Kate McKinnon jumped at the opportunity to make fun of her mom.
While it’s a touching and heartwarming piece of comedy, the message it sends is important and timely.
Mikey Day
A Mother’s Day sketch with Aidy Bryant is one of the funniest moments in television today. In a witty sketch, her friends and family buy her wooden signs that say she drank too much and other mean things.
The sign-makers revert to drunkenness in the end of the sketch. Aidy and her family’s pranks are hilarious, and Mikey Day’s performance is top-notch.
The “Saturday Night Live” sketch was a tribute to America’s mothers on Mother’s Day. Starring Kate McKinnon and Mikey Day, the sketch depicts a mother and son on a game show.
A healthy relationship between a son and mother is vital to game show success, and Day does not fail to pay tribute to his mother. In fact, he’s a great dad!
The script was adapted from a focus group conducted by Ego Nwodim and Mikey Day. The focus group members were seated between the actors of Heidi Gardner and Benedict Cumberbatch. Both players played a farmer’s wife who grew up on a farm and loved his ice cream. The two men eventually become a couple and decide to share a bowl of Blue Bunny ice cream.
The show’s “Mother’s Day” sketches are also funny. The show’s cast of comedians embraced the holiday by creating a mother’s day sketch that is fitting and funny. The show’s sketch writers incorporated the idea of a loving mother who got breakfast in bed.
A father who had the same idea is also shown telling his son that the day he was born was the best day of her life.
Despite its quirky format, Saturday Night Live rarely disappoints when it comes to holiday content. Throughout the years, SNL has focused on motherhood and the challenges of motherhood, as Brie Larson learnt the best haircut for a new mom.
The show has also featured songs about motherhood by Justin Timberlake and Kristen Wiig, and a clever 1-800-Flowers service. With such a varied lineup, Mother’s Day episodes are a surefire hit.
Emma Thompson
Earlier this year, Emma Thompson hosted a sketch on Saturday Night Live, addressing the topic of motherhood from many different angles.
Although she has a successful comedy career, it seems her motherhood satire will not be the most appreciated. Here’s what you can expect from her mommy sketch:
The sketches were not home runs, but they were solid, too. Though neither of them were a knockout, the writers deserve credit for trying new things and keeping the politics at a minimum. And they kept the comedy light on the recurring bits and politics.
For the most part, the sketch was a pleasant surprise. Here’s hoping the writers stick with it. If not, it will make for an enjoyable Saturday night in your home.
Emma Thompson is an award-winning actress. Her best known role is playing an alcoholic mother. The show’s writers were inspired by Thompson’s role in the Broadway musical Rent, and they adapted the story into a comedy that was well received by critics.
This comedy also won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress for Thompson. Among many others, it was a critical hit, with Roger Ebert calling it one of her best performances.
Another memorable character from the show was Ego Nwodim. The troubled teenager had been featured on a “Jerry Springer”-like daytime show.
Jones’ character was the illegitimate child of Meghan Markle, and she was a psychiatric nurse, which explains her strange behavior. This was the perfect scene for Thompson to showcase her talent. The rest of the cast was equally talented.
Leslie Jones, who played the role of Meghan Markle’s third cousin, needs etiquette lessons. The third cousin, who wishes to go to the royal christening, is forced to take these lessons from the queen’s etiquette coach.
Luckily, she gets the lessons, and the comedy is still worth watching. While it’s not the most exciting sketch of the night, it’s definitely the funniest.
