When I tell you that the Saturday Night Live skit with Timothée Chalamet and boygenius goes through my head at least five times a day, I’m not exaggerating. The little dance they do in the Troye Sivan sketch and the baby face song that everyone in this generation can relate to are stuck in my head. Plus, I reference the iconic Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson skit, ‘Yeet Skirt,’ way too much. So while some may argue that there are better SNL episodes, that one is my favorite. That episode was the first one I watched where I truly understood all the jokes and pokes at popular culture in an SNL skit. Maybe it’s because of the concerning amount of time I spend scrolling on social media, or maybe it’s because the jokes they cracked only make sense to people in my generation. Either way, this episode was meant for Gen Z, and more importantly, for someone who needed to laugh at something as epic as that SNL skit.
