Poor James/William/Bertie. Every time he reincarnates into a new life he not only ends up fighting in a new war, but also learns he married another lunatic as well.
I'm going to write a military character called James William Bertie, and in a perfect world have Mikey Day play them.
One was in WW1, the other two were both WW2. So, that doesn't add up
@@skankhunt-wy9wy Ah damn, good point. Still though, I don't think it's ever been stated that reincarnation is linear and that your next life couldn't be in the past or something. My gut tells me this poor soul has been present at every war that ever was and married every lunatic that popped up.
You mean poor Trenton/James/William/Bernie. Trenton was from the Civil War.
Whatever happened to the dog? 🤣
Mikey Day ALWAYS kills this. The way he says ALARMED and CONCERNED always get me.
As a British guy, I love his accent.
@@Grayvorn He slipped back to American accent when he said _alarmed_ .
@@RaymondHng hah! Good point.
The way his voice goes up! 🤣🤣
Yeah def. love Mikey Day’s alarmed acting; and then going back to make sure he heard it right🤣
“Mary, you have sent me cocaine” that got me🤣
Haha I'd love a wife like her
I don't care massively here but..coke jokes..SNL..um..Belushi? Farley? Lorne's cool with that shit?
Oh the Coke
I wish my lady would send me cocaine smh. Bertie is so spoiled.
@@johndow7689 Jim Brewer actually talks about this weird double standard Lorne has when it comes to things like that. Jim came up with a skit where a guy was drunk in the skit and Lorne said “no,” and attributed this ‘no’ to Belushi and Farley. Yet a week later Colin Quinn (who was a head writer at the time) did a Saint Patrick’s day skit on weekend update that Moynahan later took and turned into “drunk uncle.” Its kinda strange
It's funny how SNL does this sketch each time there's a British host who can pull off a yesteryear wig.
They also did one with Maya Rudolph IIRC
And one with Jen Lawrence
@@Ethan-dn1wc They did, but that was on Maya and Marty, not SNL
Daniel Kaluuya would have killed this sketch.
@@bringiton5282 The Jennifer Lawrence one was a one-off about a Civil War soldier who wanted a picture of his beloved's breasts. The only thing funny about it was the end where Bill Hader (as Abraham Lincoln) closes the dead soldier's eyes, looks at the camera, and cries over how the war is killing good men and tearing the country apart.
“I meant a racy photo, not an illegal narcotic!” I died. 🤣🤣
Stop using cocaine!
"stop sending me cocaine!"
I was lowkey disappointed that he didn't reference methamphetamine rations.
@@KyleRayner12 the allies didn't have meth only the nazis/axis did,the allies used dextroamphetamine because you can still sleep during the day after a night raid,the nazis had to stay up for days on end with meth and the allies would sleep and it hit them at night in the desert
@anonymous. I’m a history teacher and I had no clue about this! Thanks for teaching the teacher. 😂😂
I love how he ends every letter differently:
"Alarmed in the Atlantic, Bertie" lol
I’m rewatching it to pay notice to them all better, it’s a funny touch to the skit for sure
U sure abt that
That was one of my favorite parts!!
Mary, you have sent me COCAINE !! LOL
He really likes alliteration
Mary only responding to the last line of the letter and ignoring the rest is all of my friends when texting.
and me having to deal with thick customer service people.
YES lol
Bruh…yes
💀
Don't pretend you don't do it too 😉
Mikey Day has mastered the "increasingly panicked" genre of acting.. love this series
MARY!!!! lol
"Quit putting shit on us, David Blaine!" 😆
I’m so happy this sketch is still going
Same! But they've only done it with British women hosts.
Me too! I love it!
@@Larez121 that’s the point I think :)
Agreed. I get excited every time I see an SNL History Channel sketch.
@@Larez121 they have a civil war version too ua-cam.com/video/KFj6qnfEBns/v-deo.html
This is one of my favorite recurring sketches
I was hoping they'd do it the week Maya hosted, since the first time I saw it was on the show she did with Martin and Mikey
Totally agree
it’s a snoozer for me
Automatic like before even watching it.
Mine too
They teased me with that “knock knock” joke. Damnit, Mary!
I thought he'd ask "who's there" about something unrelated and she'd resume the joke.
@@Evija3000 I wonder if her reply would've been 'Doctor'.
@@TheYoungDoctor Doctor Who?
Love her pauses.
I think Mary’s letters gave him more psychological trauma than actually fighting in WWII.🙃
This is funny and surprisingly accurate for a LOT of soldiers overseas
@@pcarebear1 Yes, because killing people is less traumatic than a letter.

I think your perspective is wildly inaccurate
I love how Bertie's voice gets higher every time he writes a letter
😂😂😂
I mean he’s getting more mad lol
Mikey's increasingly aggressive "BERTIE!!!!" sent me lmaoo 😭
Her name is Mary?
You have sent me cocaine!
@@eileensnow6153 in this one her name is Mary. There are other in the recurring sketch series that are set up the same way that have different actresses. I think there are three or four.
@@ginarichards6307 ohh okay. I’ve seen the other ones but I never noticed their names changed each sketch
@@eileensnow6153 Yeah, so far I believe they've done 3 different wars. LOL
“MARY. STOP SENDING ME COCAINE!” 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
😆😆😆😆😆
I love when she blames him for being off with his friends.
@GiselleKlara It wasn't illegal in the UK until 1920.
"Okay Mikey we have an English actress on this week, you got any sketch ideas?"
"Get me 2 pens and 2 pieces of paper"
"Oh you've got an idea?"
"I've just told you"
They needed a cheap skit to make up for the expensive star trek set.
This is a reoccurring sketch. He’s done it a few times over the past few years
its a pen and a pencil
He had a pencil, yet the letters all appear to be in pen. Hmmmm.
"I'm afraid the knock knock joke structure doesn't lend itself to letters. " 😆
I guess his bride was little naughty while he was away... plus she might have killed his parents
I've watched this a dozen times and did not make that connection, haha
Blame the Nazis!
Ohhhhhhh 🤔🤔🤔🤯
I think she wanted to make him am addicted and still his family money
Love Mikey Day's panicked-calm. Haha.
Hi Matt!👋
I love Mikey's recurring sketches. This and the "awkward man with a stunning wife at a natural disaster" sketches are so good.
The second "awkward man with an impossibly hot wife" sketch was them winning a home makeover (that had Jennifer Lopez). The first one was the natural disaster (that one was Margot Robbie).
@@canaisyoung3601 and now we have a gameshow with Ana de Armas!
I swear they can't resist coming back to this sketch every time they have an English actress.
True... I've always appreciated this skit but THIS ONE..I think is the best
@@agrayson12 I think Phoebe Waller-Bridge had better comic timing but the jokes in this one might be on par if not better.
I’d love to see them do it with Jodie Comer, if she ever hosts
Claire Foy was okay.
As soon as they said New York. I knew exactly what photo she was going to send #Iconic
Actually it does make some sense because the kiss was actually non consensual as the pair had never met. In fact, I've read that the sailors girlfriend was in a restaurant near waiting for him or something. I studied a bit of the photographs history for a school paper and was really surprised to find this out so I thought I should share ☺️
Yeah that kiss was non consensual.
Same lol
@@sophieleitao7219 : It was an exuberant sailor caught up in the joy of knowing that killing & dying was over! To conflate it with sexual assault is unfair. For decades, the two people were unknown to the public & several people claimed to be in the picture, so there wasn’t a stigma to it-it was just seen as joyous celebration! Remember too that nurses were considered heroes by soldiers & sailors, so he saw the white uniform & kissed her.
@@jenniferrogers2492 kissing someone nonconsensually is sexual assault, there is no conflation. You cannot legally force someone to kiss you. The woman in that photo has said she felt trapped and violated by it.
Once I noticed, I could not unsee how Carey’s pen did not once touch the paper when she was writing her letters
Yup! It bothered me so much. Mikey’s writing was great.
I took it she was re-reading the letter and scanning over what she’d written
@@mooniemuk That could be an explanation except she DGAF about what she writes to Bertie. She wouldn’t spend a sec looking over what she wrote.
I had to scroll for a while to find this comment. Was totally distracted the whole time thinking: lady put the pen to the paper! Please.
Haha same, Phoebe Waller-Bridges didn’t either but Claire Foy did.
I love this silly ass skit. The first letter back from Mary’s triflin ass always gets me. It’s the “yes” for me😂😂😂
These notes sketches never fail 😂
“I’ve been at war!” 😂😂
I fucking love this sketch. You never know where the diamonds are going to come from in it.
"Mary! YOU HAVE SENT ME COCAINE!" is good enough to make John Mulaney go "Damn, wish I'd written that."
Mulligan has a special humor wild card for this show
Pandas are cool - I wasn't sure how she would do, but i thought she killed it all show. I was impressed.
She was incredible; I was very pleasantly surprised!
This has way too much history to be the history channel. Needs more reality tv.
More Bigfoot
@@betsyduane3461 Don't forget about more aliens
Pawn Stars Allies
Mary is actually an alien, which is why she doesn't know how letters work. Now it fits perfectly with the History Channel. 👽
Were aliens responsible for Operation Overlord? Did they help using a pyramid and space lasers? Tune in at... whenever because let’s be honest, you are only going to watch this randomly while high.
My FAVORITE continuing sketch. Mikey Day is hilarious as the ever-increasing bewildered and alarmed husband.
Mary next to the parents’ gravestone killed me 😂
I thought it was gonna be the three of them in bed together. haha
She did say that she's been down that road before...
I’d like to think these men with initially unresponsive wives to their plights in the military are all from the same lineage, destined to follow this similarly humorous yet devistatingly confusing cycle
Not only is she unresponsive, she is clearly not all there. Lmao.
Mikey Day is turning himself into one of the best to ever be on the show. This skit will be his SNL calling card. He's completely versatile, does multiple characters, and can do accents well. It will be interesting to see what path he goes down after SNL.
you know...i could almost see him as a good Riddler for a Batman show...or he'll just be another dad focused sitcom
@@robertgibson3315 Good observation. Keenan Thompson went sitcom. For them, it has to be huge, but I think it dulls them.
The cast members over the past few years have been spectacular. I was watching the original NRFPT folks when young and have stuck with it most seasons. I just noted the incredible amount of talent that keeps showing up. I think it kicked up with Will Farrell but many would argue this or that.
It's hard to mention just one current cast name without immediately thinking of another.
Mikey Day pulled off one of the funniest ever with the "Space Lab" skit with Steve Carrell.
There are a few skits that brought tears when first seen, ( Pete Sweaty and his Christmas Balls), and the "Space lab " skit was certainly one of those...
That was "Schwetty" Christmas balls...
"Is Is Cake?" smh.
The absurdity is so great, Mikey is so earnest and holds it together very well. This is a good recurring sketch!
Wartime Mikey: "Concerned. Alarmed. DETAILS. THIS IS WAR"
"my dear mary after all these letters my back feels weary. Such is the pain of carrying It for the both of us.
So how many other people noticed that the trumpet is playing “What a Friend We Have Jesus?” lol. And I love the alliteration he uses when signing his letters.
The "Alarmed in the Atlantic" sent me
🤣😂😂😂
Definitely top fav reoccurring sketches!
Claire Foy's sketch was my all time favorite.
I liked the one from the Phoebe Waller-Bridge episode.
Same, I love that this is a recurring sketch but none of them have quite lived up to the original.
I like the original one the best from Maya and Marty. Mikey was a union soldier during the Civil War, writing to his wife played by Maya Rudolph.
@@canaisyoung3601 That one's my favorite too. "Dear William...thank you. Love, Lydia"
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SKETCHES!!!! I love Mikey Day in all of these. the way he always checks the back of the paper after the first letter always gets me.
I love how low effort Carey Mulligan’s fake writing is with her pen a full inch off the paper lmao
I think this may be my favorite recurring skit of Mikey Day's. The way these letters deteriorate into madness is brilliant :D
They have been my absolute favorite since they started in 2018. This one and the one with Keenan are my favorites. I watch them over and over again because they never fail to cheer me up and make me laugh when I need it. Stop sending me cocaine!
When you and your spouse are on different wavelengths.😂
Not sure Mary has a wave. More like a syrup drip.
@@ImNotaRussianBot 😂
She finally got to use her English accent in one of the skits.
@Cerulean Blu she actually got to use her regular voice. 🙂
The lines in this one were good, they deserved more from the audience.
“You know what? Screw it! I’m actually gonna do this.....”🤣
Shit, I can't believe I forgot the possibility they'd do another one of these when Carey Mulligan was announced as a host.
I love this sketch. Mikey looks really handsome in this btw. Should wear his hair like that.
P.s. Carey is one funny lady lol
It never fails to kill me when he flips the paper after her first reply
It has been some time since I have seen a SNL show as good as this one. Cary Mulligan was so involved that she deserves much of the credit. She is more than a serious actor, she is funny as well.
ua-cam.com/video/xNnM4Yyc_C8/v-deo.html
Try these if you haven't seen them. Hysterical. Kate McKinnon is brilliant. I can't believe she left the show.
It’s like Gone Girl if the entire novel was a period drama told back and forth through the couple’s weird, disturbing, and concerning letters to each other.
I love how loud Mikey Day gets. His exasperation is hilarious!
Those are some the calmest roughest seas ever.. Mikey has a total John Mulaney vibe..
John Mulaney isn't funny. Mikey is. Big difference.
I’m getting real “YOU sPeNt It AlReAdY??!!” energy here 😂
@@nathanwatson1915 as you laugh at 90 percent of what he writes without knowing it.. .. I can agree his stand up and writing skills are better than his sketch performances.. And I think Mikey is better on set at snl..
i love this recurring sketch sm... it’s so funny😭.
My favorite thing about these skits are when James/William/Bertie flips the first letter around to see if there's any more
If they made thousand of these sketches I would binge watch them happily. Hilarious.
He shouldn’t hold her responsible for kissing that guy. The woman in the photograph has said that it was entirely non-consensual.
Yeah right. She only said that because her boyfriend would not approve. 😅
She only said that because Bertie would not approve
@@kw9568 - No, I mean in real life. The woman said she was walking and some sailor just swept her up and kissed her.
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite yes that's what I was talking about as well. Back in those days women were very nervous about what people will say.
@@kw9568 just like the immaculate conception... wink wink
I don't know why, but Mikey playing hushand writing down a love letter , speaking in british accent is quite cute and to be thirsted for
Anyone else appreciate the alliterations? 😄
Always approve and appreciate alliterations :-)
Love how they are bringing back deep cut skits like this.
I always crack up when he flips the letter to see if she wrote more
Mikey kills it in these skits. His exasperated voice kills me every time.
I saw that "Knock Knock" coming a mile away lol
This poor veteran held rank in ALL of the armed services and has yet to find a sensible wife. He deserves a Purple Heart.
One of my favorite repeating sketches from SNL these days.
Surely one of the best most well written sketches of Snl
Anybody else notice Mikey is wearing an American Vietnam Service ribbon in the Royal Navy in WW2? LOL
Perfect sketch for Mikey Day. Funniest sketch of the night.
This is by far my favourite series of sketches. Each one has a bit that I actually giggle about when I recall them.
The photo that WW1 wife sends and the lock of hair from the WW2 wife played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Long may it continue.
It’s great to appreciate some favorite sketches when they don’t turn up as often. Spot on with this one!
“You send me COCAINE!!” 🤣 💀
Carey ain't even trying to pretend she's actually writing
Mary has lived like none before her.
I need a followup
It took a while for Mikey Day to grow on me, but as I rewatch these, I can’t help but appreciate what an excellent writer/actor he is!
"Not an illegal narcotic." It took literally everything in me not to spit out my drink all over my PC
This skit is even funnier in a way because it pays homage to her own real grandfather’s naval service in the Royal Navy during WW2. I just saw her in a documentary about her researching her grandfather’s naval service last night.
This sketch is too funny! I love these mock History Channel (and PBS) documentaries. Also, you can't deny Mikey Day's acting talent.
I love these! Mikey day is great!
5:23 I knew he'd succumb eventually.
Fun fact that nobody asked for: The photo of his wife kissing a random dude at the end was a photo taken when a man who was on a date with another woman. When he heard the war was over, he ditched his date, got drunk, and kissed the first nurse he saw
Nope. No one knows who it was, and multiple people have claimed to be the couple: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-J_Day_in_Times_Square
@@gregorymaus6289 Wikipedia its not a reliable source ☠️
Carey is awesome. Her pace and timing are perfect.
"Mary, STOP SENDING ME COCAINE"
0:22 “the sea is quiet today…” behind him, the water is completely motionless
I've been waiting for this! I love this series. All the other "War in Words" videos have been hilarious!!
I love the"War In Words" sketches, they always crack me up! 🤣🤣
This was the best of the show tonight, and a return to form for SNL! 👍
It crazy when he was upset at the end his British accent went away.
The first reply can't be beaten. It's just perfect.
This just makes me laugh out loud, no matter how many times I've seen it. Comedy gold.
This was the funniest sketch of the episode
These sketches always make me laugh so hard! 😂😂 Mikey is brilliant in them!
I really loved the buildup to the reveal at the end. :D
I love this recurring sketch; more please!
You were off with your friends! ... One line only to explain her "point of view" of the situation
Love these war letters. Haven't watched a good sketch for a long time
I cannot get enough of this recurring bit. Mikey Day is an unsung hero of this cast.
I LOVE EVERYONE OF THESE SKITS!! MD is the BEST!!! Please continue writing these and never replace Day, this part was made for him!!
I have been waiting for a new one of these War In Words for so long! 👏
Maaaaaan I love Mikey Day. His facial expressions, comedy and acting skills are outrageous!
These skits are too funny! 😂
Mikey Day is a comedy king. 🥰🤗🤣
