This was Aidy's first big sketch, and she killed it despite being super nervous. Afterwards she talked about how Tom Hanks and Bill Hader ran her down the hall and everyone cheered for her.
I haven't seen much of this show since the days of Belushi and Akroyd and company. I often hear it's not what it was bla bla. This is funny stuff! The world is not going to hell!
They under-utilized Jay the entire time of his tenure. He’s a brilliant comedian and should have been given more time on the show. No, it wasn’t because Obama was “rotten”, ass. He was the right president at the right time. He saved the economy. Look at what is happening now. Trump’s tanking the economy and a recession is predicted in the next three quarters
@@NEpatriots88 let's see, broke records on drone strikes and deportations kept all Bush's wars and tripled our military conflicts on the ground in both Middle East and Africa, only Nobel Peace Prize winner to have EVER bombed another Nobel winner (Doctors Without Borders). In fact, one of the members of the Nobel committee said he regrets him getting the prize in the first place. Hell, the "kids in cages" thing started under Obama's watch.
“What woukd you do to keep AK-47s and other dangerous assault weapons out of dangerous criminals hands?” “Nothing” “I would also do nothing” Too real, too real
That would have escalated quickly, Obama being backed by Chiraq, and Romney having those cartel fighting cousins down in Mexico would have made the situation very entertaining if those groups suddenly showed.
@@diegodelgado9764 yeah, all they care about now are the sound bites, not the actual debate. It's so disconnected. So many times in one night you'll hear a canned, clearly rehearsed joke or quip or slam. And it doesn't even matter what the initial question was, they'll find a way to talk themselves to their rehearsed lines. It's so sad to watch. I am a college student that loves to debate (though some of the formalized rules suck). I love classroom discussions. "Debates" now are just painful to watch.
I love that in this SNL presidential sketch the two candidates were acting like out in the schoolyard... moments away from just throwing down and tussling. Hilarious!!!

I love the implication that Romney's son is an undecided voter
Or maybe that Mitt Romney has stacked the audience.
he wasn't. Dad just got him a seat.
I never caught on to that before, that's funny!
It was a recycled bit. There's an old SNL debate sketch where George H.W. Bush is one of the undecided voters asking a question to George W. Bush.
I’m amazed by how calm and well informed these presidential candidates are

Sudeikis captures the essence of Romney and his voice. I wish we had seen more of Jay Pharoah on the show. Both great talents!
SNL is the best at under utilizing and rejecting real comedic talent
THAT was spectacular: brilliantly written and brilliantly performed. Hanks is a genuinely great comic actor. 90 seconds and he nailed it.
Ikr that was beyond professional!

Jason Sudeikis as Mitt Romney, and Jay Pharoah as Barack Obama. Two amazing snl impressions
They under utilized Jay Pharao's Obama. It's freaking brilliant.
Ryan Doyle
That’s because they didn’t want to expose how rotten Obama was.

"Nothing."
"I would also do nothing."
🤣🤣🤣
Yep and that’s how it went in the debate.
The skit was already classic, and then they dropped that i was done 😂😂😂
My favorite 😂
Even an SNL sketch is more mature than the Trump vs Biden debate.
"bOtH SiDeS"
Not mature when it comes to trump though. Interesting
Trump won 2020🇺🇲
"Let me at him, Dad!"
"Sit down, Tag. Alright? Not now." Killam's face afterwards was the best.
Yes!!! OMG that face made me laugh 😂 !
😂😂😂
“What woukd you do to keep AK-47s and other dangerous assault weapons out of dangerous criminals hands?”
“Nothing”
“I would also do nothing”
Too real, too real
People just need to follow your lead and give themselves hexproof, then they AKs couldn't target them
It does make the burn matchup easy. Shooters are basically burn players, right?

I miss turning on SNL and watching Jay as Barack and Jason as Mitt, this was some of the best election stuff they have ever done
this debate seems like nothing compared to hillary and trump
Rogash because it's a debate instead of an argument
Yeah, simpler times :)
No it was barely a debate now carter vs reagan thats a debste watch that one and watch the real one they seem so much more dumbed down

Fittingly, this had 69 likes. I feel bad for taking that away from you
"I'm undecided", so, I'll kick both asses!! LMAO!!
You can tell how excited Aidy is, I believe this was her first sketch
The Romney impression is soooooooo funny.
I watch this clip only for Bill Hader as Eugene Picanzi. So funny
William H same 😂
That's exactly why I'm back here in November 2018, just for the Eugene Picanzi part
hell yeah. replayed this so much hahah

this was aidy's first time saying live from new york and first time opening the show!
This was goooooold. I didnt realize at the time. " candy is he bothering you? " " c'mon sparky" " dad, let me at him"
Cecily's question was the most substantial and it took the least time to answer..... Perfect imitation of Reality
I love how the audience was so unprepared even in the real debate. It's usually the candidates, but that year. It was the audience who came unprepared
I love the Romney impression. It's so funny. He just sounds crazy...

"nothing"
"uh, i would also do nothing"
so great

“This isn’t Colorado anymore, Governor. This is sea level” 😂

"So you want to kick the Governor ass and the President ass."
"I don't know I am undecided."lol
"Winning a coin toss has nothing to do with luck, my friend."

What would you do to keep dangerous assault rifles off the streets?
Romney: Uh Nothing.
Obama: I would also do nothing.
Fucking hilarious lol
Those were the good old days.
That's how much I pay my cats
What would you do to keep assault weapons such as AK-47s off the streets?
Romney: Uh, nothing.
Obama: I would also do nothing.
Shiiiiiiiit man 😆

I am from Long Island. I enjoyed this.

At least there's that other skinny black guy, Chris Redd

That Obama Mic drop doe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
