Someone please tell Saturday Night Live [1] to let me work out at home in peace. First, the NBC sketch comedy show dragged the Peloton hype [2], and on Feb. 27, SNL's cast took things one step further with a pointed (but hilarious) Mirror Home Gym [3] parody. Ever wonder what it'd be like if your Mirror was cursed? No? Well, let SNL provide some unwanted nightmare fuel.
I must admit, despite the digs at home workouts, this skit kept me laughing. Host Nick Jonas [4] is a convincing weights instructor to Chris Redd and Mikey Day, but Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson really steal the sketch as Shannon Delgado and Azuzal the demon. Don't ever make a devilish deal with your workout equipment folks, no matter what gains it promises you. Check out the eerily funny skit in full, above.
