Have you thought about what you’re going to talk about the first time you re-enter some public space or another for a group hang (an event we used to call a “party” back in the before time)? I mean really thought about it.
The SNL crew certainly has, and they nailed it in this sketch. Yeah, it’s a little over-the-top at points. But most of us have been locked in our little private spaces for more than a year as a deadly pandemic rampaged across the globe. Our social skills have deteriorated and our shared experiences are all about solitude and missing out on life.
That doesn’t seem like such a funny topic to joke about, but SNL found the humor. And it’s deeply relatable.
