@@milina9 When somebody says "the lighting suits you", they mean that the current amount of light in the room, as well as it's direction, makes you look better (either by illuminating your features, making you look sharper, etc.) What Alexis is saying is that there is hardly any lighting (since they're in a mine shaft), and since there is no light to complement anyone, it's as if he's saying that Dominique is so ugly, that not seeing her at all is an improvement. Hope this helps.

Love it! This is a parody of a scene from Dynasty, when Dihann Caroll (aka Dominique Deveraux) and Joan Collins (Alexis Carrington-Colby) first met at Alexis' penthouse.
Still first to call it, Queens! Okay, it's a remake of this classic scene, in combination with a couple other scenes.: ua-cam.com/video/Q7hTFqBmHH0/v-deo.html
@@seancasity7538 Well I mean they definitely are on break in this so I'd assume they'd clean themselves up a bit so that they you know... Can eat there lunches without eating soot. Not to negate my earlier comment. Really preferred that joke statement to this serious one.
WHY WAS THIS CUT?!?! IT was absolutely hysterical!!! This is one of the funniest sketches I've seen in a long time and I regularly find myself laughing at SNL.
RIGHT?! I literally only clicked on this because I saw both Ru and Bowen in the preview image. I was not disappointed. 😂😂 This took me back to my mom's 80s soap operas. She loved Dynasty, Dallas, All My Children, One Life To Live, etc.
SNL.... Hats off to your writers, actors and actresses and rupal with this entire episode... This show is the funniest one I seen in a long time... Thank y'all
The play off of the classic 'Dynasty' tv show from the 80's featuring Diahann Caroll as Dominique Devereaux and Alexis Carrington Colby played by Joan Collins was wonderful.
😆 why did they cut this!....Ru’s “Dominique’s” shoulder pads and the way him and Big Al “Alexis” slapped each other, the water in the face was the perfect scene from the soap opera Dynasty !
I can't believe this was cut for time- this Dynasty throwback is one of the best skits I've seen on SNL! The shade, the kicking, the catfighting! The headlamp was burnt- like the CHAMPAGNE!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:28. “VIPER!!” is a nod to one of the Alexis and Dominique fights from original Dynasty. Well, I guess this whole sketch is. UA-cam “Dynasty Alexis Dominique catfight” for the original.
@@hausofblue5036Ok. You are excused this time but pop culture references from before your time can be a good thing. Maybe a random piece of trivia be the Final Jeopardy answer. 🤷
My dad was a coal miner and if he was still alive he would be laughing over this skit maybe he is laughing in heaven thank you snl for making me laugh today with so many problems in the world
Funniest skit!! Straight out of a couple of Dynasty episodes. Burnt champagne = Dominque Deveruere and Alexis Carrington, Burnt headlight, kicking fight, "ciao for now"
Did a writer wait their entire career to write “of all the mines, you come
To the mine that’s mine?”🤣😂
Yeah. Bowen was that writer.
@@canaisyoung3601 Brown for the win 🙌🏼
Carreer!!?? More like since 8 grade.
@@canaisyoung3601 Anna Drezen wrote this skit, not Bowen.
It reminded me of the miners/minors bit from Galaxy Quest. Pure gold. 😉
The gay soap opera we all deserved to have in the 80’s.
Now would be great too!
It’s based on Dynasty
We need more gay soap operas!!!
Well, we got a taste of it with 'Soap.'
“Gay” soap opera? What the hell was “Dy nasty”?
Ru's entrance alone in this sketch was worthy of not being cut.
You are not wrong
I need to arrive everywhere like that!
He's the host you didn't know SNL needed.
That was my favorite part
she is not wong you mean surely its worth it for the typo

@@manuelmateo3392 oh lol thats funny thank you for explaining it😄
They had me at Ru sitting crossed leg on the mining cart looking ever so dainty and fabulous. The "Hey that's my cape" was just EXTRA!!!!!

That was definitely perfect
It's a gift from Rudy.

For those shoulder pads and kitty kat, Ruple the miner is now a gay icon.
Someone needs to give Bowen Yang a permanent position at SNL next season!
Yesssss! 🙏❤ P.S., Have they ever had any Asian actors on there before?
@@healthylifehappywife8501 Bowen Yang is the first cast member of full East Asian descent.

Agreed!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 He’s so good. He and Ru Just killed this skit.
He deserves his own show
The highlight of this sketch was Ruple's shoulder pads.
Oh my gosh, I didn't notice that! Good eye!
Okay Chad
Ruple lol
We see you Chad😂🤣
RuPaul not Ruple
"They're trying to kick each other in the nuts!" "Are they though?"

The shade of it all.
Is NOBODY gonna comment on Ru saying "You get fracked cross-eyed every night"??
Thank you
Jealous?!?!
oh, the fracking? 😳
@@korejones9004 no no, not that 👁🙅🏽♀️👁
@ Jesse Colton that was such a brilliantly edgy line that it went over the audience's head!
Betta than the original. Ru's endless hours in front of the 80s television weren't wasted.
Yup lots of dynasty love it
Yeah. He was excellent.
“Alexis O’Grady Chang” 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
once again i'm questioning snl's decision to cut this one for time. no surprise
I didn’t know what cut for time meant till I read your comment lol 😂 but yea it’s a great sketch
That shit was weak and not funny. Glad they cut that.
They've been cutting the best sketches lately. SNL really needs to readjust their leadership cuz this was so good
Dino Cha hard to tell if the skit would go over the audience well. I thought it was over the top a bit.
@danger stranger Not enough... they've yet to release even ONE of Adam Driver's cut for time sketches!

This shouldnt of been cut! Whomever wrote this needs a raise! Come thru Dynasty fan!!! We see you! And we appreciate you! Iconic!
Mione134 probably Bowen lol
Can’t believe this was cut. It could have replaced something else.
In what way did they cut it?
EnuffSaid in the title it says “cut for time” so I’m assuming it didnt make it to air
@@Spirosaur I see. Thank you.
Big mistake not letting this on air. Bowen is one of the BEST things about SNL...I love you Bowen!!!!
wait, why didn't they air this?!?!?
Bowen is lowkey the funniest cast member rn

He was great. Better than eddie Murphy
Better than Eddie? Nope.

RuPaul doesn't use she to describe himself
HEY THATS MY CAPE
Not anymore!

Claudio Mastroianni dumbest decision ever!
They literally cut some of the funniest scenes always. I don't know why either because the cut scenes are often better then the finished product
The play off of the classic 'Dynasty' tv show from the 80's featuring Diahann Caroll as Dominique Devereaux and Alexis Carrington Colby played by Joan Collins was wonderful.
This was homage to Diahanne Carroll's entrance into the Dynasty universe.

Listening to Rupaul’s lines is everything for me in this skit.
Haha, this was funnier than most of the other sketches from this episode. Wonder why they cut it? Maybe the prep time for the mine setting.
This is my favorite sketch from this episode, and it showed me how funny Bowen Yang is. He should be featured more often!
