This reminds me so much of a sketch they would have done 15-20 years ago, probably about 6 times a season. Marcello has such a great energy in sketches. He and Kenan work well together here.
@@drphot6050 Except they probably both would’ve been white 😝 (Just in case you’re one of those people who assumes I’m a liberal and I must be offended, IM JOKING. COMPLETELY JOKING)
For some reason, I thought he would have retired that voice because they actually have a Dominican cast member and it might come off as offensive. Glad that didn't happen.
There are two kinds of Latin Americans in this world: 1. The kind who will gladly take tourist's tip money 2. The kind who loves Jesus Christ Yes, they do overlap. (I'm the first one 😜)
@Chelsea Lindsay Don't waste such good wordplay on an obvious buffoon. It's like Mark Twain said, "Don't wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig likes it".
Whoever is working the wigs this season is killing it! The Rollercoaster news caster sketch and the SW airlines sketch (all from this episode!) had some phenomenal wigs
I was thinking of that, too. But also because I am an old man, I was thinking about David Alan Grier and Damon Waynes critiquing movies on In Living Color.
@@akken2112dude Marcello Hernandez is actually dominican and he look white af. We come in all colors. It's not the look, it's way of doing. I even seen a Chinese that was raised from the age of 1 in DR and he is straight more dominican then I will ever be🤣
@@akken2112 Everything because it's not what makes somebody dominican. The fact that all of the Caribbean and most of South American countries all have some African DNA doesn't make it Dominican lol. Like I said it's the way of doing, the expression etc. Someone from Jamaica acts totally different as from somebody from DR even if they would look alike. It's not the "look" by skincolor it's the way they act, talk etc. If he was acting in a poor way, yeahh it wouldn't pass so.
@@m.4523 Dude, you're going way off topic. You need to stop with the semi-white fragility. Some of you Dominicans with your desire to distance yourself from Africa is beyond ridiculous. All I wrote was that part of why Keenan Thompson can pull off accurately portraying a Dominican is because African AMerican and Dominicans have African roots. That is a historical fact that can't be denied. It would be similar to how maybe a Brazilian, Cuban or Puerto Rican could pull off playing a Dominican.
I agree with everyone else, I hope we see more of the Towel Guys and their Ellen dance lmao Feels like it is straight out of the 90s. Clean and amusing fun!
The prayer as a tip is very real! I worked in restaurants in the south, and there were always people coming in and leaving a religious pamphlet or offering prayers as a tip. 🤦🏻♂️
So great on so many levels: seeing my native dominican republic finally as a fully formed sketch, not just a nod in a fred armisen talk show, and a dominican version of the 1985 tom hanks and jon lovitz duo, at a time where more sketches like this are needed, just as I was thinking a few days ago. Also, maybe Lorne is now making my dream come true of picking a marcello hernandez centered sketch, where he exploits dominican culture?
Marcello brings great Latin and happy energy to SNL without vulgarity. Great job 👏 family friendly humor is even better we can watch it with kids Muy bien Marcello ❤❤❤❤ Latin Flavor 🔥🔥🔥🥰
Michael Longfellow and Marcello Hernandez are always GREAT. (Can always rely on Kenan Thompson to hit it out of the park). I wish we could see Longfellow and Hernandez more so they can show they can do more than one thing.
Absolute top notch sketch! Probably the best of the last 10 years. I could see them getting their own theatrical release movie and it would be “please take my money.” Mark my words, this cast will be remembered as one of the all time greats.
One for the old little mermaid. One for the new little mermaid. Marcello is SNL's funniest new cast member.
And that song is from Aladdin.
Like it’s not in both movies . The exact same score.
🤣

This is exactly what I miss in the SNL after the age of BLM and "politcorrectness" came in, which changed SNL, and not in a good way.
Reminds of the Cut Sketch back in the 2012, "Renaldo and Alexi" where Bill Hader and Fred Armisen played two Manhattan doormen
This skit is a classic. I could see them revisiting these charecters in the future. Marcello and Kenan are an amazing pair in this.
It's a lot like the valets in key and Peele

Yes it was good skit
Yes

Lolz 😁
didn't she marry a car?

Kenan lowkey brought back his Big Papi impression and Mercello held his own!

I was waiting for him to bring up mofongo or WASAKAKA CON QUESO FRITO
@@canaisyoung3601 Kenan can get away with it cause he's so good.
And he can get away with it because he’s Black doing another Black accent.
@@posteador and he can get away with it bc he's America's sweetheart
Marcello has an amazing energy, it makes me happy just seeing him
I second that - 100%. He's gold.
Also very handsome
It's almost impossible not to smile when he's on screen! A great additiona to the SNL cast.
Mermaid joke is so good 😂 Also "Jesus is good" "Money is better" had me dying 🤣
And the patacones,,,

@@mohammedkhaliq1475 go watch another skit lol.
@@mohammedkhaliq1475 Yes it was…
Congratulations to Marcello on his first smash hit character, I bet we see the Towel Guys a lot more in the future
I don’t see it - he’s one note and that note if flat.

@@mattier.9095 awful take
we need to!
I can't picture another SNL veteran being so good, credible and comfortable in a skit with the new kid who's less than half his age :)
Will Ferrel 🤷🏾♂️
@@kievmiddeton2656 exactly lmao
Yes! I was thinking that too. There was no awkwardness or feeling like they didn’t make sense together notwithstanding the differences.
@@kievmiddeton2656 I love will ferrel but he looked old even when he was young xD
@Bart Simpson I wouldn't believe a world if that hadn't come from you, Bart Simpson.
They absolutely nailed it with the impromptu prayer, that’s as real as it gets.
3:09 Ego Nwodim looks amazing in a silk robe.
She has those athlete's genes working for her... But dont sleep con my baby chloe ...
"One for the old Little Mermaid & one for the new Little Mermaid."
lol, why did I see that coming.
I died 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😅👌🏽
Marcello got a sketch! With multiple lines! (The mermaid thing was great.)
Lol right
Kenan so hilarious and another hot wig. They should have this as a regular sketch. He has great chemistry with Marcelo
The wig is great! That style is so flattering on him
Whoever is working the wigs this season is killing it! The Rollercoaster news caster sketch and the SW airlines sketch (all from this episode!) had some phenomenal wigs
marcello is such a great addition to the cast!!!
Agreed!
And super cute too
Exactly🤩, unlike Molly Kearney, who has no talent at all. I'm glad she doesn't appear on every show.
Yes, he seems like a really down to earth character playing himself.
As a Dominican... I can say, This man does the best Dominican impression aka Big Papi tone hahaha .. Love it!!!
Let's be real, Dominicans and African Americans both have African Roots.
This sketch is absolute GENIUS!
(Dancing)
"ELLEN DAMENAMES, ELLEN DAMENAMES!"
Old little mermaid, New little mermaid 🧜🏾♀️ 😂😂😂
Now i get it's 😂
I did not get it at first LMAO
"First wipe, is crazy"🤣🤣🤣🤣
She married to the car…Portia 😂
Reminds me of the old Key & Peele sketches at the hotel lol
I loved their "Man up, man up!!"
This feels like a straight up copy of that.
OMG i was just about to say the same, it feels very much like a copy/done before
I was thinking of that, too. But also because I am an old man, I was thinking about David Alan Grier and Damon Waynes critiquing movies on In Living Color.
YES! I was waiting to see if someone else was going to comment this!
Them talking about finding Nemo at the beginning makes this so much better🤣
Killing it!!! Love to see Dominicans being represented🇩🇴
This had the vibe of a Key and Peele sketch. Loved the vibe Marcello and Kenan had here.
Was looking for this! lol definitely the Laim Neesons sketch
Yes, the valets!
The valet guys from key and peele
Please bring this back again! Marcello and Kenan make a good team 😂
Ellen Demenemes... 🤣🤣🤣 and the Forry Gum.
Marcello is great! He's going to be a great cast member!
Kenans best sketch of the night imo
This sketch was excellent man! Kenan always makes a great Dominican...
Kudos to all the participants..
Let's be real. Part of why Kenan can play a Dominican is the fact that African Americans and Dominicans have African Roots.

“Money is better.” -Keenan, keeping it real
*Kenan
This is what i call CLASSIC SNL
Yes!! And not enough of it these days imho. This was like water in the desert.
@@katydid2k I believe they is called an oh aces
This skit is hilarious!!! Especially the prayer😂 but THAT LITTLE MERMAID JOKE🤣 got me hollerin!!!😂
This kinda feels like a Key and Peele sketch .
It’s definitely a rip off of the valets, but they all did a great job with it.
I keep waiting for Keanan to say "big Dominican lunch!"
*Kenan
the little mermaid joke was SO good
This gives me the energy of the hotel bellboys telling Christmas stories.
Marcello is a future ⭐️
It's not Big Papi but I'm happy to see Kenan play a Dominican character. Now I'm craving some mofongo with bistec, papitas fritas....
If they don’t get a reoccurring skit, then they’re going to be wasted characters! One of the best in a while
AGREE!
"They should call that 'Mission He Prolly Gonna Do It'." 😂
Great skit. I love the rotation at SNL. The veterans mentor the newbies. Awesome

They need to use Marcello more
This is a take of a Key and Peele Skit where they talk about movies abs tv shows where they're hotel doormen/greeters
by take you mean copy lol
Marcelo was so giggity in this Skit... Loving it 🤣🤣
I love Marcello 😂❤️ can’t wait to see more skits with him!
the "Finding Nemo" recap was the best part! 😂
I'm glad to see the cast having so much fun. What delightful silliness.
Please be a recurring bit. Hell, I want an entire movie of this.
"It's one for the old little mermaid and one for the new little mermaid" 🤣🤣🤣
“How about a prayer here we go” lol that literally made me spill my coffee .. This was hilarious
With the right character, Marcello is going to bust it out. He's funny. This was good.
Want Marcello in all the sketches plz
Marcello and Keenan together great combo
As a Dominican they really nailed it 🔥🇩🇴
Would love to see “Towel Guys” become a running sketch. This was so fun & Marcello was awesome!
Paging the Righteous Gemstones: James Austin Johnson needs a role on your show immediately.
marcello’s character was just so oblivious i love it
MORE MARCELLO SNL PLEASE
That Mermaid joke was golden lmao
“Banana for dinner? Ok!” killed me hahaha
Marcello brings great Latin and happy energy to SNL without vulgarity. Great job 👏 family friendly humor is even better we can watch it with kids Muy bien Marcello ❤❤❤❤ Latin Flavor 🔥🔥🔥🥰
Marcello Hernandez is the new star of the show, ofc. There's a wider range of roles he can play. I hope SNL realizes that soon!
That is 1000% what working at a resort is like. I'm not even joking.
Michael B Jordan- brother, that accent went around the world in one sketch 🤣
Hope we get more of these two doing sketches together, they pair really well
I would watch any skit they put Marcello in.
Michael Longfellow and Marcello Hernandez are always GREAT. (Can always rely on Kenan Thompson to hit it out of the park). I wish we could see Longfellow and Hernandez more so they can show they can do more than one thing.
My favorite skit of the year!!
Marcello is great...a real comedic talent...
Kenan uses his Big Papi voice for the sketch.
We need more Marcello!
Looove me some SNL merengue dancingggg!!!! Nice sketch!! Loved the old and new mermaid part tooooo
This reminds me of what they tried to do with Hader and Armisen as the bellhops. This worked SO MUCH BETTER!
Them thinking she said "A Ladder" : Underrated joke of the night.
Marcello could play Freddie Prinzie in a movie about Hollywood in the late 70s.
Funny. when i first saw him, I compared him to barry miller's character in fame. In that movie, he idolizes freddie prinze.
I really hope this becomes a reoccurring skit! I love the towel guys!!!
"his brain doesn't reach his legs" I did not know that was a way to read Forrest Gump and now I'm grateful for this SNL skit for teaching me that lmao
Bro this makes me miss living in the Dominican. People just had 0 ambition to work but we’re so nice and chill
They are more relaxed there but when we emigrate we don't stop working to get what we want😊
Totally false. Stupid assumptions
Absolute top notch sketch! Probably the best of the last 10 years. I could see them getting their own theatrical release movie and it would be “please take my money.” Mark my words, this cast will be remembered as one of the all time greats.
Yup!
That was sweet. Merengue! Kenan and Marcello should do a comedy in Spangish
"That big ocean and that small fish" ...lmao! These two find each other for the best comedy!
Loves me some Ellen Dememenis! 😂
The best part was the little mermaid reference 😂
I love marcello and kenan
“Tony Soprano” lmao.
That prayer was too real
Reminds me of the cut for time doormen sketch with Hader and Armisen.
"A whole new girl..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who knew we needed Keenan as a Dominican!? Obsessed. haha
One towel for the old mermaid 🧜♀️ and one towel for the new mermaid 🧜♀️ WTF lol hahaha 😆 🤪😂😝🤣🤣
That prayer caught me off guard 😂😂
2:47 Sarah is wearing a callback to the big, stupid hat!
So proud of Marcelo! Only in dade misses you but you’re doing GREAT on SNL
🎶Elleh DeMenemeh! Elleh DeMenemeh! 🎶
This remind me of Hader and Armisen doorman skit. Love it. Classic but fun
literally was thinking the same thing!
"Ellen demenemes" and "dassit" are two new phrases from Mercello I use daily now 💀💀
