"It was an act of whimsy" is one of the great SNL lines. Great writing, perfect delivery.
Totally underrated sketch! Maya's nod when she says "it was an act of whimsey" puts it over the top. SO good!!!
Agreed! Profound too.
thisssss omg
"Sister Maya! Was this an act of MALICE?" 😂 His West is amazing.
Jonathan Heidenreich
It was an act of hwimsey
"Sister Maya, was this an act of malice?"
"No Brother West, it was an act of whimsy..."
"Well then, I accept."
That GAVE ME LIFE!
hwimsy*
That one made my day!
@@havardmj thanks for the correction man! I was actually struggling with how to spell whimsy in Maya Angelou's amusing accent/droll! Lol! That's good!
@@lindiwengwevela524 ikr! It's a good one! ;)
Yeeeeeees!!!!!! 😂😂😂👍🏽
Maya is so underrated, among the top of snl for me
She's not under-rated
"I feel no shame sittin' in that pastry. Just human nature I suppose."
"Yes."
"It has been an honor." 😂 😂 😂 😂
“No brother West. It was an act of whimzzzy” 😅 Maya Rudolf did such a good job of making fun of a legend like Maya Angelou while being 100% respectful. Which is why it’s still so funny even though the talented Ms. Angelou left us in 2014. ✌🏼
As a big fan of Maya Angelo , Maya Rudolp respectfully brought laughter to some of Maya‘s Angelos words
"The Sands of Time are like rain on a tin roof, never Stopping, never Ceasing... Now, watch me punk Stephen King."
YASSS! Such brilliant and inspiring poetry.
"It appears I've sat in a Pie!"
"I suppose you have."
That was perfect!
LOL "I should know, I am a police womaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"
flawless morgan freeman
that voice
"it was an act of hhhhwhimsy" best impersionation of Maya Rudolph ever xD
The overwhelming sense of awe and respect they have once they realize it's her sells this so hard
I miss Maya so much. She made every skit work even when it was stupid.
Jason Mutz
She just had such a way of being funny. I don't get how she did it but I love it
She was on Kimmy Schmidt as a well known singer whose name escapes me. Check it out.
Max she was dionne warwick! And yes she hilarious. And in the good place too, i couldn’t stop laughing when she spoke
This is so hilarious. Their calm, dignified responses are to die for
I am a police wammaaaaaaan
The way Stephen King gasps when Maya Angelou takes off the hat, very endearing.
Damn... Bill Hader really does look like Stephen King...
He does a really convincing voice too. And with only a few words.
Now this is only thing I'm going to think of when It Chapter 2 comes out 😂
Yeah he could play him in a biopic or something!
@@imtryingmybest673 ikr! Fo real!
"She's Ange-looney"
Honestly one of the best skits EVER!
Maya impersonates Maya
RIP Maya Angelou
this skit is so underrated lmfao
I must say I’ve never seen a better Maya Angelou impression it was perfect so was Bill Hader as Stephen King and Jay Pharaoh as Morgan Freeman were just 👌😘
C'mon. You must be employing sarcasm. She totally missed the mark in this uninspiring, unfunny performance. Look up DAG's Butterfingers.
Perfect? She doesn’t even come close to Maya Angelou. Have you seen DAG, Tracy or Keenan’s impressions? They nailed the Angelou voice, speech pattern, attitude.
Chi chi should have watched this before Snatch Game hahaha
Chaco M LMAO I was just thinking this
I did it. I-i-i have removed the bottom of you' bayg. In an act of hwimseh.
Georg M LMAO spot on 😂
Georg M YASSSSSSS!
I love Maya Rudolph. She does hilarious impersonations. I cried out laughing watching this.
wholesome sketch is pure and lovely. "It's an honor." Yes it is.
I also love Stephen's look of confusion. That also gives me life! 😁
Whoa Bill! He's not wearing much makeup but he really looked like Stephen King here.
1:15 - It was an act of hwhimsy... 🤣 the delivery was perfect!
Maya always gets it right.
I am the riverrrrrrr lmao!!
God, I wish this had been an actual show.
I thought this would have more views. This sketch is so genius. If someone pitched this, I wouldn't think it would work. But this totally does! And without being disrespectful. "So honoring!" Ha
cause its geo restricted i guess
"What has happened here?!"
One of my favorite lines from the video! 😁
No Brother West, it was an act of whimsy ❤️
so many great line reads in this, from "it whas an act of whimsayy" to "i should know, i am a po-lice wahmaaan". maya is always the best at that
The narrator be havin me crackin up...lol..."shes angelooney"...🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Stephen King bit is now much funnier now that Bill is in IT 2
I love maya!!
this has to be one of my fave SNL moments of all time
My favorite Maya Rudolph sketch!
One of my favorite stretches. I wish they would have made more of these.
She is incredible!!! Maya forever.
Yesss this sketch is everything lol
Maya is so funny in everything she does.
"Sister Maya was this an act of malice?"
i love maya angelou!
This was just so awesome!
Can someone please advocate for more Maya Angelou skits
Sista Maya pranks with the best.
This skit was so funny to me!!!
I would expect this to be 'sensible chuckle' funny but it's actually 'crying laughing on the toilet' funny. WHYYYY??
I forgot about this one!! Seriously one of my all time faves!!
No Brother West, it was an act of whimsy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This warms my cold dead heart. (Metaphorically)
omg bill as stephen king is great
Maya was the best part of SNL, she is so funny 😂 😂 😂
Funny to see Hader as king since he was in it two a few years ago,
omg everyone was gold . Nailed it. That Maya angelou was hilarious
Maya is a buffoon! I can’t get enough of her 💚
this is so good and so underrated
Bill really does look like Steven King!
I would watch this
coming here repeatedly to scrape up the last scraps of serotonin my brain can produce
I couldn’t really find her skit for 12 days of Christmas on here on UA-cam
She’s Angelooney! 😂
Maya is prettymuch comic genius.
Yes. Just...yes.
I think of this so often omg
That impression was... the best.
"Hwhat has happened here?" Kills me every time
Make more of that
Still watching this in 2019 😂
Maya Angelou is one of Maya Rudolph's best roles, and I never noticed that this originally aired during Black History Month.
I laughed SO DAMN HARD
This has immediately jumped up ionto my top # sketches... Not SNL sketches - ALL sketches.
Hello Child 😂😂
Richie Tozier played by Stephen King himself..
Maya playing Maya
The sound effects 😅😅😅
Dr. West’s Afro pick is a nice touch.
Just realized this is Maya playing Maya
Hilarious.
God damn this is hilarious.
Oh, wow... This is a great impression of Angelou.
This was funny!
Weirdly wholesome.
Hilarious!
That’s a spot-on Steven King impression.
"No... it was an act of whimsy."
I did it.......looooool
This was better than it seems
It has been an honor
So Funny Cool Awesome skills Cool
Oh Lord, this is the funniest shit i have ever. Omg i can't its just so lol
Please please can Maya do more Maya on SNL

I like her impersonation of Dr. Maya Angelou better than Keenan's
