Emma Thompson is a timeless beauty. She was able to look both 65 and 40 in this video by just changing hairstyles.
Shane Hughes I love her
Lol it was special de-aging effects
Yes she is!
Not too many cosmetic fixes helps! Contrast Courtney Cox - too much makes one look older.
@Herbert Erdferkel he said Emma Thomson and we're talking about Emma Thompson, so I think we are talking about two different women. 😁
i died when she asked “Enjoying the show Cheryl?” and then she said “Hell no” 💀💀💀
There was 400 likes when i looked so i unliked then re liked so i can be the 400th person
I feel special now
Who's the black woman she yelled at?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Hell to the naw naw
"Enoying the show Cheryl?"
"Hell no"
the best part ahahah
Cheryl 100% lied

Hearing Emma Thompson, like the most British woman alive, with an American accent is weirding me out
Yes! So strange.
Really? I found it very convincing!
Did you hear her on My Dad Wrote a Porno? She sounds like such an awesome, cool mom 😂
Faaacts
@@BelleFlower15 I just googled that podcast, thank you for introducing it to me LOL
Neighbor Cheryl needs to be a recurring character where she only says "Hell no!"
Tosh T That would be amazing
"Hell yes!"
That "hell no!" was a Finesse Mitchell gag.
They already have Keenan for that
@@umpus So true, but they also have the awesome Leslie Jones!!
"Enjoying the show, Cheryl?"...."Hell, no!"
The look on her face classic

😂😂😂 I laughed so hard
Hahahahahah hahahahahah hahahahahah
I know this is supposed to be funny but honestly this is deep. This is basically what every mom (and a lot of dads) has to go through and nobody even realizes.
And there's people who see us struggling and shame us for seeming like Moms aren't trying hard enough to keep things in order.. pfft
I laughed and cried at the same time.
It's so true, all of it, lol! Only moms (and dads) know the truth.
namedforthemoon No, I realize. That’s why I don’t want kids. Babysitting was enough for my life.
When I’m out and see a Mom dealing with a toddler having a tantrum or a misbehaving child I tell her she’s doing a great job. Everyone needs encouragement. I know I did.
Dude, the giraffe part nailed it. All of this has reassured me that my husband and I aren't failing as parents and that everyone is just bullshitting.
You nailing it I’m sure. It’s just the hardest job on the planet.
"Why won't you F*cking sleeeeep" LMAO I felt that.
Look up "Samuel L Jackson Go The Fuck To Sleep" on UA-cam
Same here 😂.
My toddler would not take a nap earlier. It took riding in the car to take my sister home from work like 3 hours later to get him to fall asleep.
Moral of the story: Get sterilized so none of this can happen to you.
😂😂
My mom wrote this on a mommy advice paper at my sister’s baby shower.
“Don’t listen to people who say you have to love every moment of parenthood. I miss when you were little but I don’t miss when you threw a tantrum in Kroger about your flip flop being too loud”
Truth!!!!!!
broadwaymelody33 thank you for sharing your moms wisdom it made me laugh! As a mom i needed to hear that today!
Mark Hanson baby need botle
@Mark Hanson Its fun when the incels come out.
I so envy your mom keeping it real! My mom is totally one of those people!
you said pack A toy.
I have a 2 and 5 year old. I’ve seen a lot of great actors in my time but that man deserves an Oscar just for the emotions he invoked with just those FIVE words
TV don't get Oscars. Emmys.
I don’t have kids, but shouldn’t she say “pack THE toy”, so her husband knows it’s a giraffe? 😶
alwaysopen Nobody said anything about tv?
Mikey Day is a king.
I agree. Absolutely stunning mini-performance right there.
I have to say what I think is underrated here is how the dad is not a lazy slob. I mean he’s distracted and exhausted too but he’s right up in there looking at the poopy neck and counting the crayons. You don’t have to insult one parent to celebrate the other.
That is refreshing! It’s like the opposite of their relationship in the Winter Boots sketch
@@natyoung7755 oh true. That skit made my stomach hurt from the passive aggression.
I thought they were going to go down that route and he would walk in and walk back right out during the blow out part but he didn’t and then the crayon scene I was impressed
Most real commercials with parents in them, over the last 20 years, have shown fathers as weak and stupid. I'm really sick of that trope. Companies need to give it a rest.
I really thought that when Heidi called Mikey for help on the baby shitting out of her diaper, Mikey would run away. No, he just made some comments out of shock but he still approached to help.
This is the best birth control I’ve ever seen
😭😭😭

I hope you understand the reality [of having kids] is much worse than it appears
Then you missed the point. The point is that though their can be tough times, children grow up into adults that have their own families and your family grows. That's like not having friends and forgoing a beautiful relationship and future good memories for fear that you might argue or fight sometimes.
@@teresai1877 No, it's like not having friends or forgoing relationships because doing so would chain those people to you irreversably until you die. Or until they die, in which case your life is ruined too. Oh also, you don't get to pick them yourself.
2:09 True Parenting...
"WHY DIDN'T YOU PACK THE GOD DAMN GIRAFFE!!"
"YOU SAID PACK A TOY"
"I MEANT A GIRAFFE"
Classic miscommunication stupid fights.
Can’t help but think it’s a reference to „Sophie LaGiraffe“
😂😂😂😂
The same with my husband
But the difference is my husband will bring all his toys
We laughing right now
But the fight we in the car oh man 😂😂
Lmao yes
"THEN SAY " [A GIRAFFE!!]
Lol how accurate is this, man
"I MEANT A GIRAFFE!" How did he not get that?
Crazy right!? He really should've got that one
Dude, I co parented a child with an ex once. I got the same. Lol
Some women love to communicate till the cows come home but when it comes to specific instructions. Big nope.
Then again, sleep deprivation did affect my mind reading skills. Lol
The most unrealistic thing about this video is the size of that birthday cake.
Yeah, mine was a bowl of porridge and a candle
That is sad
I was 2, I was too stupid to know that it was my birthday anyway
We did a “smash cake” for ours. Our son went headfirst into his and was a colorful mess. Our daughter was dainty with hers.
Totally, especially if that was the 80s, we made bigger cakes even if it was just the 3 of us!
"I don't even remember you yelling at me" is hysterical and ridiculous. That's the part we never forget.
Not neccesarily. There really are different experiences. Imagine that what the clips showed mother doing - yelling and anger - that this is all it was. No bullying, no unfairness, no judging like a crazy person, no scapegoating, no lashing out like kid is the punching bag, no shit like this. That she was fair and tried her best - and because she was human she obviously lost her shit sometimes - but that was it. It was surface emotions and when they passed she wanted to again be the best mother she could be, supportive and non-judgemental. I can imagine if that was the case the daughter wouldn't remember yelling. I have few friends who couldn't stand their mothers as teens - they crossed twenty and practically built their mothers a shrine (they had no kids, just 20 year olds normal and stuff). Asked about it they explained that they were little hells and their mothers wanted what was best for them. So I can imagine it's real. See, thing with parents is that you could swear left and right and believe it that they weren't bad - because on the surface it looked identical - sometimes mom lost her shit, but she loved you blabla bla. But underneath the surface there was genuine toxicity, resentment, expecting the kid to meet parent's needs, inadequacies and ways the parents was hurt by own parent - now seeing how vulnerable the kid truly is while being the parent, losing their shit how could their own parents hurt them like this if it's plain and obvious this little shit is so fragile and dependent and vulnerable - acts awful, but it's actually obvious who is stronger - that sometimes makes them go nuts and they never realize those things in words. There are bad parents who look good. There are good parents who look bad. You can tell by being a kid and touching this place inside of you - the daughter in the sketch had a good mother. I, for example, didn't. I had a mother who used me as emotional punching bag and then, when I was 20 and screwed up university, run out of saved money I had to come back home because I had no place to sleep - used up friends and all that, no cash which was specifically saved for survival - it was freezing cold, I spend 4 hours outside the gateway to the house - she said no. She saw me and said no. I made it clear that I will sleep on frozen pavement otherwise - she was ok with it. At one point | called her and asked if my old coat is in the closet and can she bring it out cause it's cold. She brought it out and went back to the house. She never felt bad about it. My entire family insists I was such a nightmare (gee, wonder way, maybe being constantly psychologically scapegoated had some impact) that my mother was right to do that. No fault in her. And I imagine this video doesn't depict this mother - it depicts a mother that would be horrified by that. She got angry, she lost her shit, she made mistaked and couldn't take it - but there was a whole bunch of things she didn't even consider doing and behaviours she wouldn't do to her enemies - because she believed those are evil/dysfunctional. There really are thousands of different experiences of being a kid.
My mom never yelled at me or spanked me, but she did make me sit at the table for hours until I finished my dinner. Probably why I quit eating for a few years but whatevs ♡
@@nilawright5953 Wow. I bet you did well in school. All I ever wanted was to be outside. Dinner table time growing up was very stressful. My step dad was very strict and he would hit people with his butter knofe if they reached for something instead of asking to have it passed. I sat as far away from him as I could. I can still see that slice of ham with black stubble still on the skin. How can a person expect a child to want to eat that?
Especially if they say something so terrible or ridiculous that it's burned in your brain forever.
@@canaisyoung3601 Amazing how words can hold so much power

@@jamesanderson6373 Yes, but it's misused here. As usual. Might as well leave the extra 't' in there. At least then it's nonsense.
@@winstonsmith11 If that is the most realistic thing she's seen about parenting, then it's 100% used correctly. She didn't say "it is literally the most realistic thing available about parenting". I don't know it if is the most realistic thing I've ever seen about parenting but I'd say it is definitely top 10. So in other words, she literally used "literally" correctly,.
Don't admit that 😮
I still remember the day my daughter tried to stick her *tongue* in the electrical outlet. She's 39 now and doesn't do that anymore. I hope. 💜

And people still freak out when I tell them I don't want kids.
Why do they care? That's weird.
Polly Pockets i have a vagina 🤷🏻♀️
To a lot of people, having kids is like a moral requirement. I get a lot of “but every woman wants kids!!!!” Clearly not tho? Lol
Same! People actually argue with me that I ought to have kids. Being a parent might be great for some people, but it's the hardest job on the planet. Not everyone can handle it. I know I sure couldn't do it. No thanks.
and yet the same people would be the first to judge someone who struggles with parenting and call them too incompetent to reproduce
@@jadesx96 exactly!
“My child ate 2 crayons should I be worried- 5 crayons she ate 5!”
This may be the most life accurate sketch SNL has done, and one of its funniest. So many memories from my childhood, and my parenthood mirror this.
@Username I don't think so. This just shows that the parents we think we'll become isn't necessarily who we are, and that because parenting is hard, we often become our own prents, not always in the best way. This is just a humorous way to show that. Maybe you're just a judgmental person, and may not have kids of your own. See, I can guess as well as you can, even though I don't know you any more than you know me.
@Username you sound like a non-parent and ignorant
MissZeely ignore the trolls
So funny but I could deal without all of the profanity around young children. 🙄🤷♀️
SuperDad1266 this is exactly what I said!
Im currently pregnant. This was both hilarious and terrifying. 😥😂
Hahaha You're going to be fine. Promise. Do your best. Love the rest. You'll make mistakes. Learn from them. Apologize and keep on keeping on! Happy Mother's Day!
You are a courageous woman. Hang in there! Congrats!
And that's motherhood. 🤣💕
Karen Soza I’m expecting my first grandchild and my kid has no idea what she is in for! Especially since I always make seem like I have it under control

This was actually a really sweet sketch? I wasn't expecting something this sincere from SNL, but here we are. 👌
"actually"
These are the best ones, funny and touching
Being a good parent is really tough. To raise children with good values and to bring them up as good citizens is a huge responsibility.
This is very true, but it seems to me that it's become more of a challenge with the last couple of generations. It feels a bit like there are poor examples nearly everywhere you look. Empathy has become something of a rarified quality, and it's quite essential to living that sort of life. I'm moved by your post, but I wish it wasn't so atypical.
@Jake Sangria so you've definitely been called both of those things, and I'm here to tell you right now... we don't care.
@Jake Sangria Your Divine sounds lovely, but no. I'm assuming you're currently lower-income after getting fired over your inability to keep snarky race remarks up your own ass where they're supposed to remain in civilised society. And quit liking your own bloody comments.
Well said
It is and it’s ridiculously hard
After saying “you’re the perfect mother “, I expected Emma to turn and face the camera-“Thanks Xanax!”
Christopher Collins I was thinking the same thing
Or Sauvignon blanc 😊
If I know comedy writers, something like that was most likely in the first few drafts, before the writers' room realized it works better as a sweet, touching tribute to motherhood rather than a sketch needing a punchline.
xanax is good, but it's not that good

I drank straight oil paint and used to put plastic bags over my head, also had anxiety attacks abt car insurance- all before age 6. I’m surprised my mom didn’t go crazy
I hate parents letting children put bags over their heads.
Like they will be staring and talking to the children with a plastic produce bag on their head like they're fine with their children suffocating.
Galinthias sounds like a Geico ad
Hosenda Likento what parents do you know? I’ve never known anyone that does this
hmm, well sadly, my mom DID go crazy :/
she is an alcoholic now, who drew away ALL of her friends by insanely insulting them to the bone (imagine someone knowing your deepest feelings and worst fears ... and then uses it, to insult you until you have a breakdown. She did that to ALL of her friends ... and several times to me.)
Hey, but I am way into comedy. (It helps a lot nowadays...)
[ruining the mood on such a great video? hell yeah ;)]
What about car insurance now?
The "poop upto her neck" happened to me (not me, my 2 month old) last week, while on a 6 hour journey, on an airplane. Was so much fun, if i had a parachute, i would've even jumped off the plane.
But you made it!! I just keep telling myself that these are going to be great stories to tell my kid's friends someday 😂
🤣 that’s for clarifying that you didn’t have poop up to your neck 🤣
That's the really stinky and sticky kind of poop.
Nothing but respect for my president
My Grandson did that to me while I was babysitting him, it literally was up to his neck, me and my husband had to tag team to get him cleaned up, so much from someone so little, and yet he smiled all the way through.
This made me cry because I was so hard on myself for not being a "good mother" but my kids seem to understand and know how hard I worked to keep a roof over our heads.....so for Mother's Day, I honor them for being understanding and forgiving
Christina Dobbs dude that's awesome. Why don't we have a Family Day? Maybe after Father's day?
kids will grow from their mistakes but mostly remember the good times and all you've done for them
One day they'll have their own kids and be REALLY grateful.
Big hugs, Christina. I am a new mom - my three-year-old just discovered laughing maniacally while throwing everything he owns on the floor. You are a good mother. You were a good mother then, as well.
Well done!
I think kids know how a parent deep down feels about what's important. What I mean is if you're desperately working to feed your kids and give them the basics because you love them and they are important to you, they'll know. You probably had to tell them no more often than you wanted to, came home tired and irritable more often than you liked, but it is surprising how often kids understand, even if they were upset at the time. I think it is far more hurtful to children if a parent is absent because they prioritize work, constantly rationalizing the choice that they have to do so to pay for the quality of life for their family, yet never really getting around to spending time with that family. It isn't the same thing, and children can normally tell difference when a parent would spend more time with them if they only could, and when a parent just rarely does so despite any promised intention because they keep putting work first.
"she ate five crayons do we need to bring her in??" 😂😂😂😂😂

My dad has raised two teenagers with a some help from our mom (my parents got divorced when me and my brother were very little) and I gotta say, he’s doing great! The amount of times he’s had to help me with my homework while I’m tired and cranky and just want to go to bed is astounding. And he’s a teacher! His day is filled with parenting even when they’re someone else’s kid! To all the parents of young children, it gets worse. But at the same time it actually gets better! Your kids get more independent, they can be safely left alone for longer and if you do things right, they won’t hate you when they’re teens. Make sure you can trust each other. Aproach them as someone that is too young to know or understand anything, but as a friend. And remember to acknowledge your mistakes. I know I find it annoying when adults make it seem like they know everything and that they are always right. Hold their hand when they need it or ask for it but remember to let go at some point. Everyone has their ups and downs and everyone needs help every once in a while but trust me, it will be all right.
With love

@@tedtheawesome5803 Yeah homie...nobody is making you read this comment or any others. If you don't like the comment, just ignore it and move on with your life. Taking the time to reply just to make this sweet girl feel bad is genuinely awful behavior.

EMMA'S AMERICAN ACCENT IS SO GOOD!!!
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW AMAZING HER ACCENT IS?
I'd like to talk about it, I'm a fan of accents 😄 but since she's so amazing it wasn't too much of a surprise
It's really not, though. You can hear the British inflections throughout. Love Emma Thompson (LOVE), but her attempt at a neutral "American" accent isn't great. Something tells me she might be better at a southern American accent, given how exaggerated it is, and how good a performer she is.
Because it’s not great, her British intonations are very clear here.
@@darryl2542 In fairness - Emma Thompson 's fake American accent is better than Michael Crawford 's in "Hello, Dolly"

@@Amber2368 He was picking his nose for a whole week, I thought, "This is probably a new thing he learned"..

I thought it could be a blood clot or something; but it was so big and in a perfect ball... I decided to rip it open - and I can't even tell you how bad the smell was.

She also happens to be one of the best actors alive. One of the most underrated performers ever.
Love when something manages to be funny, emotional and deep.
It's true that mother loves us unconditional BUT they also hate us AF at the same moment.
I wish a mother's love was unconditional. Most mothers have conditions set on their kids in order to "earn" her love. Like my mom. She always said she loved me, yet made me feel like a burden and a disappointment. Childhood was both confusing and very stressful for me.
Definitely not hate, but I get what you're saying 😂
it isn't hate in 'sensu stricto';for a kid this is how he/she perceive when his/her mother is a mixing of frustration and stress; perhaps when you have your own kids you will understand your mother better. And the parents' "unconditional love" includes always good and bad moments.
It's not hate at all. It's a struggle of finding balance between being a mother filling a role 24/7 and then still somehow being a person. I love my daughter unconditionally but my struggle comes with feeling like that's all I am is her mother and the loss of my own identity
@@laurendesiree854 that's because people over there (USA) have kids usually before they develop themselves and actually form a full identity perhaps. Way too young. If you wait till you are a fully grown person and have formed an adult personality, I think it won't be as much of an issue. Well for most people, some never fully develop an identity at any age I guess and others try to find it through motherhood. Kinda pathetic
I just sent this to both my adult daughters (who are both moms) wishing them Happy Mother's Day. ❤
What an annoying antic
I am a gay man who doesn't plan on having children, but I LOVE SNL skits like this one. There so beautiful and real. Parenthood is one of the most difficult but beautiful things ever. I am so proud of and happy for all the people who take it on, and especially those who can't have their own and adopt a child and make a positive difference in a Childs life. That is one of the most special things to exist.
This is the top comment
This is the most relatable skit SNL’s ever done.
Really? It’s the least relatable one in my opinion. So many of my friends have psychological trauma from their mothers. For a very solid portion of the population, we see that our mothers were obstacles to being mentally healthy. In our own life and motherhood we make a choice to be kind and loving, unlike our own mothers. Anyone who relates to this at least on the level of feeling their mothers were so loving is very fortunate.
Vegan Candy did you watch it? She clearly is not a perfect mom.
Jenna Of course not, but the underlying theme of the sketch is that the adult daughter remembered her mother as being a good and loving mother. Anyone who can relate to this had a mother who at least was loving and kind, even if flawed. If you relate to the sketch in that way you are lucky. Many people wish they had that Emma Thompson stereotype of the “flawed but loving” mother.
Vegan Candy I absolutely cannot relate to the mom you described, unfortunately. My comment was meant to highlight the sarcasm of this & reflect mostly on the flaws of the mother.
I was given a narcissist for a biological mom. I ended up very lucky to be raised by her mom, who taught me important life lessons & how to be a loving mother myself. I didn’t know that I would have to use those lessons as early as I did & literally become my brother & sister’s mom, in every sense, including legally. But knowing how thankful & appreciative they are to me, for that, means more than anything to me. I also have 3 biological sons of my own that are my driving force in life & I am everything you listed, to them.
I am sorry you seem to have been dealt a shit mom as well. It definitely makes us unique & resilient people 💜
For all new and expecting parents, just try your best. Don't worry about ruining your kids' lives or failing. You will do both.
But, you will also be the greatest thing in their lives. Happy Mother's Day.
Love this comment 😂
Mikey and Heidi always play 'the couple'. Good chemistry.
Awww, the ending! That was so sweet! My mother died 12 years ago, I do remember some choices she made I didn't like, but I so wish she was here to make some more.
The best way to ever raise a child....be the adult you wish they'd become, from the moment BEFORE conception.
Man... this video is so real. Got a 4yo and I consistently ask my mom how she did it!!!! Much praise to her!
Candiest of the Lands ever think of asking yourself how you are doing it right now? Probably close to the same answer
@@hampdog5716 I was just gonna say something like that, but more dumb.
Today marks six months since my mom passed away, and my first Mother's Day without her. Glad I cherished all the time I had with her and get to follow in her parenting footsteps sometime down the line. Hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day
Chandra : Many blessings to you!
Chandra 💞💕
Hang in there, Sweetie. So sorry for your loss. Sending you a big hug 🤗
Chandra god bless you dear! She is always with you
This is perfect for an 71 year old man who lost his mom in 2008..blessing to you all you are all superb
“Enjoying the show Cheryl?!!” “Hell no!!” Omg I died🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One day I asked my mom if she planned to have me and she said
“Hell naw you were a mistake!”
Thanks mom
- edit 2 years late but i forgot i commented this and id like to make it clear my mother and i do love each other very much 😂
It's okay if you make a mistake, as long as you learn from it and don't do it again.
Trump good thing i was an only child then 😂
Oh! I get it. Your mom is black! Awww!
@@LazarusSlade Uhh hey man. My mom was white and my dad told me I was an accident and he never wanted kids. Maybe take that racism and shove it somewhere?
Same... Glad the birth control pills failed!
Mine put Vaseline all over the TV himself and stuck a glob in the vcr. I didn't yell just cleaned him up. He found my Bobby pins and was sticking them in the wall socket getting zapped. I got plugs for the sockets and when he put the pin in he couldn't do it. He was 12 months old. Now he will be 42 and it feels like yesterday. I kept saying don't get upset he will be a man soon. I miss that tiny guy.😪 Love Mama
Awwww
you made me tear up
When my son was 18 months old my mom bought him a super fuzzy navy blue winter coat w. leggings, matching hat, for Christmas. I put it on him, walked to my room to get my coat, came back to a snowman. Very quick little guy had grabbed baby powder and completely covered all but the hat. He looked so shocked I just laughed. He's grown now and has 2 children.
My two oldest boys woke up before me when they were toddlers, and slathered our entire couch in Vicks VapoRub 😆
“Well, let’s just say that in the bedroom we are still VERY much a married couple”
*tv playing
*wife farts
I come back here just to watch the part " Enjoy the show Cheryl? Hell no.." i keep watching it repeatedly.. This is what they say a very brilliant short scene but the impact is forever😘
That part is hilarious!🤣
When you no longer have to wait up to catch SNL anymore
Talking to you C whatever
“Enjoying the show Cheryl???”
“Hell no!”
Incredibly touching. Makes me appreciate my mom even more
i grew up taking care of my nieces and nephews while their parents worked. so like, almost everything you could experience as a parent, i've experienced while babysitting/raising those kids. it's hard as fuck, and tiring as hell. still, those kids now think of me as their other parent and their parents joke that they're my kids, too. and i love that. but omg, it is no joke. to this day, literally the only thing keeping me from having children of my own, is the knowledge that it would be a hard-ass struggle to raise them, and i don't think i'm willing to go through that again. even though i love kids and would love to have kids of my own. it's just... it's brutal, lol.
Same here , I babysit my sisters kids and its hard as hell .The love they give is precious, but parenting is hard.
“In the bedroom we’re still a married couple. She then preceded to fart and in disgust he covers his face” 🤪😜🤣😂
Legit
thanks for that heater of a play by play what would we do without you
Dan You’re being rude.
@Dan Jeez calm down. That's so unnecessarily mean.
Grow up Danny Boy.
Damn, SNL got me over here crying
Right?! I was cry-laughing the entire time LOL
The only thing missing in this video to make it perfect is a scene at the end showing the baby smiling, laughing or giving a big hug.. to show that really all of the struggles and hard moments are so WORTH IT for those sweet moments of IMMENSE love, connection, and intense happiness you get to experience with your child. ❤️ It truly is magical.
Awww, I’m over here crying. We all have those moments where we’re like “I don’t feel like I’m enough.” But our children don’t need a perfect parent. They need you. Just do your best & that’s enough.
WHY DIDN'T YOU PACK THE GODDAMN GIRAFFE???!!!
got to say, I watched this after spending all day making the kids clean their rooms which always ends with me having to literally give step by step instructions on picking up the toys and putting them in the box less than a foot away. , dealing with stuff like a kid pealing paint from the walls and pouring the contents of a glade plug in out onto their bed (yep, that room is never going to smell the same again.) and finally getting a shower for the first time in three days after all the kids actually went to bed without a fight and this made me tear up a little while I laughed.
As someone who feels like the "real" moments in this skit make me the worst mom in the world, the ending message made me burst into tears.
@@dietotaku being a mom doesn't mean you stop being human with human reactions to the things kids do, mom's who feel like they are bad mom's are generally pretty good moms.
@Emily reward charts work great on some kids, usually those kids are pretty easy to begin with lol. my kids are slightly feral despite my best efforts and I'm learned to just go with it 90% of the time cause its not actually hurting anything. I laugh when people give me suggestions cause after 6 years working in early childhood development I know all the tricks and I already tried them and I still have to remind them not to lick other people and talk about their vagina in public.
I work with old people. They all look back and laugh, having adult children is worth the work. Or so I've heard.
Cheryls "hell no."was what killed me 🤣
It's exactly how parenting looks like but It's also best decision I made in my life. I think most parents will agree.
Watched it once, laughed my butt off. watched it a second time, was on the verge of tears thinking of my mom and grandmother. How can a SNL skit be both hilarious and heart warming at the same time.
My wife was dressed for work, ready to go, picked up the youngest to say good-bye, and he COVERED her and himself in puke.
She smiled and took him straight into the shower... both still fully clothed. Kids are fun!
Happy Mother's Day!🎉🙌
Dude what were you doing? Help her.
She scrubbed him up then passed him off to me to dry and change him so she wouldn't be late for work.
TEAMWORK is a must!😉👍
@@MrJLCharbonneau A medal for Jack. putting the clean clothes on an already washed kid is truly the scut work of parenting.
kes S exactly, jack is a trash bag husband
@@safslut01 What a fast and harsh judgement from someone called slut. Why do you hate men?
wow my filipino mom was just like “i was a crazy mother cuz i had crazy children good luck mwhahahahah”
Lmao that's the shit!!!
Painfully relatable except my mom doesn’t think she was crazy 😝
This is my favorite Saturday night live skit ever. It's so freaking funny because it's so truthful, honest and in the end heart felt. Love it, it always makes me laugh and smile.
Nice original sketch. Great job SNL
It was a nice skit, but it reminded me of the Amy Schumer one from last Mother's Day.
Not original, very much the same idea from Amy Schumer’s guest host episode
MsQuartermaine oh god well if Amy Schumer did it then it ain’t original
Amy Schumer wishes her sketch was as funny as this one. Something may not be original, but doesn’t always equate to being equals.
i just wanna know when "G^od damn it!" & "Chr^st!" became legal for network. Same with "Sh^t!" & "A$$hole." on cable. The FCC can't legally caption it, so idk what's going on? i don't mind it too much, esp. cable, cos i'm PAYING FOR NOT-NETWORK-TV. (That was the sales pitch back when cable was invented, i remember it.) As a buddhist, i think we need to be compassionate. As a Dem/Ind, 40 year resident in the state home of the Westboro Baptist 'Church': KANSAS, that one PHRASE, means i can't share this w/ my fbfs w/o getting jumped all over, & that's a shame cos it was funny!! Oh, well. Happy Sunday all!! ✌💗💞
Happy Mother's Day ma RIP
I should be laughing but I'm crying.
I needed to see that last comment. "To us you were perfect, even when you weren't." Made me cry.
The key to motherhood; denial. 😜 Happy Mom's day! 😘
There are times like this when I'm so glad to be childfree and so grateful to my mom xD
Yes!
Me too!
)
Same!
My kids will never be able to say "i dont remember you ever yelling"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Emma has the warmest smile.
This skit was so believable. To all the moms out there, you’re doing a great job! Don’t worry about being perfect and make sure to take a moment for yourself.
This was actually one of the funniest SNL skits I've seen in a very long time. Or, it could be lack of sleep due to a 2 month old.
I’m dying laughing. Every bit of this is so accurate and poetically spot on. You’re doing a good job
Mamas!!
Well....that was a refreshing walk down memory lane...
Emma Thompson is still stunning at her age 🥰😍😘🥰😍😘
Best skit so far 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yes it’s hard and it’s good. And that’s life isn’t it? Most worthwhile things are hard too. There are rewards to being a mom that can’t be contained in words like when my 7 year old walked up to me when I was out of control wailing over my dad’s death and he put his arms around me, held me for the longest time and patted my back saying “shhh, shhh....” it’s was it surreal and one of the most beautiful moments of my life. What beautiful mercy From my child to me in my deep grief. Here’s to moms in all the glorious and hard and beautiful! Life happens in these moments! 🙏🏻♥️
Oh man, that's some good, sweet love you can't compare to another human in the whole world! That's it, that is the reason why we all do it. The love. There is nothing like it, no other love stronger and nothing more precious than the love shared between child and parent.
My daughter can sense my stress (work from home) and she will just hug me
This made me cry. Absolutely beautiful. Also Emma Thompson is so elegant and timeless
as a single mom of a two yr old, this is exactly what i needed to see/hear.
