15 SNL Sketches That Are Just Too F*ckin' Real

Conversing with kids can feel like talking in a foreign language. That's why there's Duolingo For Talking to Children. Take Kristen Stewart, for example, who learned how to say "Cool backpack!"

Wholesome Autumn activities might not be as fun as they look. Here, Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant play siblings who own an apple farm where you pay $45 to get $10 worth of apples — it hurts because we know it's true.

Yup, SNL definitely attacked my closet! There are just those days when you want to wear clothes that "suggest the general idea of a person." So, that's why there's Fashion Coward, the one-stop shop for you to pick up pieces like "brown sweater, navy shirt, and pants for the legs."

One of Pete Davidson's best appearances on SNL, this sketch featuring Rachel Brosnahan is about a game show where millennials can play for things like mortgage, health insurance, debt relief, and cash. The catch is, the have to go for 30 seconds without talking back to a boomer. Yeah, it's rough.

In "Dinner Discussion," one person brings up the Aziz Ansari Babe.net sexual assault allegations at dinner, creating a tense atmosphere. As each person tries to talk, a friend tells them "Careful . . ." The sketch nails how fraught it can be to have honest, nuanced discussions about difficult topics in the news. Hilariously, of course, with Will Ferrell dipping his face into spaghetti and Heidi Gardner abracadabra-ing herself the heck out of there.

Parents, this sketch is for you. Matt Damon and Cecily Strong cozily unwind with wine, reflecting on their blissful Christmas together. Except it's not so blissful, because we get flashbacks of their kids rampaging the joy and peace of the yuletide season.

SNL's female cast and host Scarlett Johansson proudly participated in "A Day Without Woman," so Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney offered to write something for all the women. The sketch is basically the two of them speaking about women's issues . . . without letting any of the ladies talk.

Saturday Night Live took the beat and candy-colored aesthetics of Katy Perry's "California Gurls" and made it a scathing commentary about sexual harassment with host Saoirse Ronan. Kate McKinnon pretending to be a kitty with her keys between her fingers as an extra precaution? Too real.

Cecily Strong portrays a woman who's taking a momentary escape from Thanksgiving with her family post-2016 election by chilling out at Target. This fake commercial taps into the magical powers that be at Target to melt our troubles, whether they're politically induced headaches with our loved ones or not.

How do you even follow up the flurry of the 2016 election the Saturday right after election night? Well, you can process the results with a really smart sketch, like this one with host Dave Chappelle. In it, Chappelle plays a black man whose white friends are certain that Hillary Clinton will win. He himself is not so sure and is *totally* surprised when his friend suddenly realizes that America might be racist.

Thanksgiving family dinner discussions can be rough, especially when political turmoil is rampant. But luckily, there's something that everybody loves — Adele's "Hello."

Even if you're a Swiftie, you might know someone who is adamantly not one. This sketch gently pokes fun at anti-Swifties who find themselves in a state of cognitive dissonance when they can't help but jam out to a Taylor Swift bop. If that's the case for you, take Swiftamine!

Want to get cozy with your bae when you bring them home for the holidays? Good luck with that! Here, Lil Baby Aidy and the other SNL ladies express the awkwardness of sneaking around your parents with your partner.

Taylor Swift portrays a teen against terrible parent drivers (in this case, Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig). Even if you're not a teen, you might be able to relate to your parents (or friends) lecturing you on car rides or doing dangerous things like arguing with the GPS or fumbling for their phones.

Ever had an awkward dinner with the parents? In this classic sketch, a family (Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, and Sarah Michelle Gellar) have an incredibly awkward dinner where tensions escalate . . . a lot. This would be a really awkward ordeal (and maybe too real with all of that silverware clinking and bitter arguing) if it weren't for Ferrell and Gellar's absurd lines.
