Why ‘SNL’ Fans Are Excited About Their Kids Calling Their Dads Sketch

“Saturday Night Live” struck a chord with fans with a surprisingly sentimental sketch over the weekend.

Bill Burr returned as host for the second time on November 9 with musical guest Mk.gee.

The episode presented a sketch called “Calling daddy,” starring cast member Andrew Dismukes as Burr’s son, with Kenan Thompson and Devon Walker as the other father-son duo.

After a game of pickleball, Dismukes and Walker took a break to call their parents, despite their difficulty connecting with them about “anything real.”

Walker called Thompson first to wish him a happy birthday and check in. Instead of providing a meaningful update about himself, Thompson said, “The Eagles are 6-2, so I’m good.”

When Walker tried to get Thompson to open up more, he couldn’t help but keep bringing up the Philadelphia Eagles.

Walker urged Thompson to tell him “a real thing,” but Thompson resisted and spit “Quarterback” in response.

Dismukes also didn’t have much luck connecting with Burr on the first try. Seconds after Burr answered the phone and Dismukes expressed a desire to check on him, Burr ended the call and told Dismukes, “Okay, I’ll let you go” before hanging up.

When Dismukes called him back, instead of talking about himself, Burr changed the subject and asked Dismukes about his car.

Dismukes tried to steer the conversation toward Burr with no luck, and Burr told him, “You need to make sure the oil in the car is changed.”

Meanwhile, Walker and Thompson began to make some progress after Thompson expressed that he thought the Eagles had “been around for a while” and that he was “starting to feel like maybe the Eagles don’t have much time left.”

Walker immediately asked if they were still talking about the football team, but Thompson continued to share his concerns about “the Eagles,” adding that “they have been attending a lot of funerals lately for other teams that the Eagles grew up with.” “

Their conversation continued down a darker path, with Thompson sharing that the week before, “the Eagles fell in the shower” and were “laying there thinking this is where the Eagles die.”

Burr and Dismukes began to have a similarly dark conversation, with Burr sharing that he was only worried about his car because “my car just wants to be closer to yours because my car’s car died about the age your car is now.” “.

When Dismukes tried to tell him that “your car is not your car’s car,” Burr shared shocking news from his doctor, who found “some polyps in the butt of my car” and his “car is worried because that’s what killed him.” to my car.” “

When Dismukes asked if that was how his grandfather died, Burr immediately corrected him and insisted that they were simply talking about cars. Despite this, Burr suggested that their “cars” should go to Ireland together to see where “our car family” is from.

“I think my car would really like that,” Dismukes said to play along.

Walker even had words of encouragement for Thompson, telling him that he thought “the Eagles still have some good seasons left.”

“And no matter what happens, they will always be my favorite team,” Walker said, before adding, “I love you dad.”

Dismukes attempted to have a similar moment with Burr, but instead of responding, “I love you,” Burr simply told Dismukes, “Well, I’ll let you go.”

While the sketch drew laughter from the live audience at Studio 8H, fans in the comments section of the YouTube video had a more sentimental reaction.

“This made me CRY. And then laugh. And then cry,” commented one fan. “Make those calls. You really won’t know when they’re gone.”

Another fan added: “The older you get, the more you understand how real this is. It made me cry ~ my dad exactly!

One comment called the sketch “oddly deep and sentimental” and added, “I didn’t think SNL had this kind of father-son message up its sleeve.”

“This is a deep sketch. “I’ll call my dad tomorrow,” another fan wrote. “Sometimes we are so stupid that life is too short.”
