Don’t know who the guy playing Starmer is but he looks uncannily like Mike Johnson

Old white guy with graying hair who's in his 50s or 60s . Isn't that basically the description of a lot of world leaders lol
57
Realistic-Try-8029 Mar 22, 2026 +4
Describes me too. 😁

No_Stand8812 Mar 22, 2026 +14
60s if we are lucky but yes.

KathyJaneway Mar 22, 2026 +5
Canada, Australia, US, UK, half of Europe has a white guy with gray hair in his 50s-60s ... Like they're made out same or similar molds lol
5
No_Stand8812 Mar 22, 2026 +5
I meant that there are more leaders in their 70s and 80s now. Trump, Putin, the ayatollah until recently…
5
KathyJaneway Mar 22, 2026 +5
Yeah,but the ones in their 70s and 80s either have full gray hair,or dye their hair. The ones in their 50s and 60s aren't there yet,and look same 😂
5
just-here-for--porn_ Mar 22, 2026 +1
Increasingly that's a description of people much younger than our leaders.

Marquis_De-Lafayette Mar 22, 2026 +3
It's George Fouracres

jadziasnax Mar 22, 2026 +154
this was for sure the weakest of the night. forty-five seconds with fouracres, all the pretapes, boovies goes to the films, weekend update, the first half of the shakespeare sketch...... there was loads that was really excellent and I hope people don't just watch this then assume the worst

Drizznarte Mar 22, 2026 +52
That's exactly what I did. I would not watch the show from this clip .

toxic_egg Mar 22, 2026 +3
I too switched on JUST as this was playing. gave it ten seconds and bailed out

DJ_Rex_Number1Fan Mar 22, 2026 +18
If you bail out from a sketch show after 10 seconds, sketch comedy is not made for you

GlennSWFC Mar 22, 2026 +1
I stuck with it even though this put me on the back foot and it didn’t get much better. There were some good bits but most of the decent parts got dragged out beyond the point of them being funny. I felt that a lot of the sketches had the joke established quite early on and didn’t go anywhere from there. Okay, so they’re going to a Paddington experience. Oh, it’s a real bear. It’s attacking them. Okay, so let’s have three more minutes of that. Wet Leg were probably the highlight for me. I really wanted to enjoy it, I’m a big fan of Ania & Larry, I’ve enjoyed Emma in everything I’ve seen her on, especially Taskmaster, and liked Hammed in Black Ops, but wanting to enjoy it wasn’t enough for me to actually enjoy it.

I watched this [cast introduction video](https://youtu.be/SRmZlYMKtUQ?si=z3MC_yd6IU7BOw4W) and lost any interest in anything further about this show.

Don’t put the worst sketch of the night first if you want more viewers, Iike that’s on them

Boovies was great, that really made me laugh.

Thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try? This sketch is pants Update: just checked it out. Was very very bad. Don't bother. V disappointed
7
Brendan_Jabbers2927 Mar 22, 2026 +2
Glad I’m not the only one. Everybody on YouTube was creaming themselves over it (though it was probably a channel with a vested interest). I thought it was really desperate stuff.
2
Coffeeaficionado_ Mar 22, 2026 +3
I turned it off as soon as this started. I'll give it a rewatch.

thebarkbarkwoof Mar 22, 2026 +3
It looks better than the last few seasons of the US version. I'll watch it later.

This first clip was lame, should have been Farage boot licking to Donald Trump or him making o******* content for Nazi groups

huskersax Mar 22, 2026 -4
This just goes into the now long tradition SNL tradition of Jost-involed cold-opens being complete unimaginative trash and the rest being pretty solid.

ShoddyEggplant3697 Mar 22, 2026 -1
I'm not going to even try it I'm assuming it's very much like the us SNL and I'll be honest that show is absolutely shite
-1
DaveShadow Mar 21, 2026 +135
Tbh, I loved the overall show but this sketch was by far the weakest. The crowd mixing is way off, the jokes are a too obvious, and it had me nervous for a bit. Luckily, it just rocketed on after this. The monologue was a perfect setup for the show, the nonce sketch is brilliant, Weekend Update was amazing. This was the one massive miss, but I think everything else was a hit.
135
midniteslayr Mar 22, 2026 +55
Wouldn’t be SNL if the first show of the season’s cold open wasn’t weak. Been that way for decades.
55
catharticargument Mar 22, 2026 +1
Agreed. Even when they’re good, the modern American SNL’s political cold open is usually the weakest part of the show.
1
PuzzlePiece90 Mar 22, 2026 +6
>Weekend Update was amazing. Really? I thought it was kinda monotone and the guy was especially stiff. He delivered everything with the same cadence. Captain Bird’s Eye was funny. 
6
Silent_Position281 Mar 22, 2026 +2
Oh and don't forget Captain Birdseye. To be fair I was fully expecting Uncle Albert. 😂

majornerd Mar 22, 2026
That sketch was terrible, but yours was the second comment so I went and watched the monologue - I’ll try to watch a couple other sketches later. I hope the show does well.

FourEightNineOneOne Mar 22, 2026 +35
Lol. Of course they did a Keir Starmer bit to start and of course it was the weakest thing of the night.

It was so unfunny it hurt. But SNL USA hasn’t made me laugh once.

You... are being 100% serious? Not one laugh, ever? How many SNL skits have you watched? What do you consider funny?

Iainfletcher Mar 24, 2026 +1
SNL is famously unfunny
1

Must be why it's been so unsuccessful over the 50 years it's been on TV.

SuberKieran Mar 22, 2026 +43
Pretty cool that I can actually watch the clip, as a Canadian all the US SNL clips are always blocked for me.

everythingisunknown Mar 22, 2026 +66
This is awful, seeing this kind of sketch in the uk just feels wrong and the laughter so forced

DanKanzas Mar 22, 2026 +6
Too much shit is getting Americanised, boring!
6
JayTravers Mar 22, 2026 +20
Agreed. It already felt like our comedy scene was somewhat struggling and abandoned, but to try and fill it with this? Just plain cruel.

Silent_Position281 Mar 22, 2026 -3
Apart from the Underáge "advert" and the news sketch.

FlameFeather86 Mar 22, 2026 +8
It felt like a poor imitation of already poor sketch shows from 25 years ago, things like Little Britain or Dead Ringers which haven't aged particularly well.

sprouting_broccoli Mar 22, 2026 +3
It felt like it was trying to do what spitting image did but not doing it anywhere near as savagely or as well.

Dary11 Mar 22, 2026 +6
This sketch was terrible, it’s really put me off watching the rest of the show and I feel I was one of the few looking forward to it, I’ll see if I can watch weekend update and then if that’s no good I’ll give it a pass, Keir is f****** boring - characterise that instead, the one boring guy in a room of chaos can become comedy in itself
6
Gremlin303 Mar 22, 2026 +7
Really can’t see this working here in the UK. SNL has always felt like so American. I can’t see it mixing with British humour
7
WillWatsof Mar 23, 2026 +1
What is our humour when it comes to topical comedy anymore? Panel shows? HIGNFY hasn’t been cutting edge for 20 years and Mock The Week was similarly stale before it got axed and zombified by some minor channel.
1
wartopuk Mar 23, 2026 +1
SNL korea did really well. Sadly it's locked on Coupang now, so it doesn't get english subs on Youtube, anymore and no one does fan translations of it.

MrLuchador Mar 22, 2026 +12
Reminds me of the time they tried an American Red Dwarf.

DornPTSDkink Mar 23, 2026 +3
You should look up videos on the American Inbetweeners, it's criminal how bad it is
3
Tube_Warmer Mar 22, 2026 +11
That is NOT British comedy. That is Brits doing American comedy. And we f****** suck at it, just like Americans suck at Brit comedy. If they were going to do this, it should have been 100% British comedy style.
11
soulslinger16 Mar 23, 2026 +1
Totally agree.
1
Joshawott27 Mar 22, 2026 +31
Hey guys, I think there needs to be more laughter. Were audiences forced to laugh at gunpoint, or something? When it’s after every line, it just becomes annoying to watch, regardless of the actual contents of the sketch.
31
tcbllrd Mar 22, 2026 +6
I was at the dress rehearsal, and the brief we were given is "If you'd smile, laugh, if you'd laugh, applause" but listening to this recording it definitely sounds like they mixed it with a prerecorded laugh track. There were some big genuine laughs across the night but it wasn't this consistent after every line hah.
6
Joshawott27 Mar 22, 2026 +2
That’s really interesting insight into how the sausage is made. Thanks!
2
StillVeterinarian578 Mar 22, 2026 +5
Given it's US heritage, they probably were forced at gunpoint.

TomfromLondon Mar 22, 2026 +18
Was it a laugh track? The amount of laughter for the non funny bits felt really fake

CarlMacko Mar 22, 2026 +8
This was excruciatingly bad. I’m glad I stuck with it as it did get better, but i wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people turned off.

Longjumping-Cup5406 Mar 22, 2026 +2
Turned it off after about 2 minutes. It wasn't humorous or clever in any way whatsoever.

Critically unfunny. Is that a laugh track or did they pay people to laugh at every sentence?
10
MikeGalactic Mar 22, 2026 +5
SNL is usually painfully unfunny as it is, this isn't helping also the constant obvious eye movements to the cue cards is annoying as f*** in both versions. Utter bollocks.
5
sossigsandwich Mar 22, 2026 +4
As a Brit, I’m all for taking the piss out of people - we’re pros at it. But that, that was f****** awful and cringeworthy. Please tell me that laughter was fake. Holy shit that was terrible
4
mrwho995 Mar 22, 2026 +18
Well this is shit. The British comedy scene, and British humour in general, is far superior to US IMO, so why we'd want to import this is beyond me. I see from other comments that the rest is better, but this is my first and probably last impression.
18
puerility Mar 22, 2026 +9
is the british comedy scene really that great these days? seems like it's copying the australian model, where you give all the work (mainly panel shows with low overheads) to a tiny, aging cadre of household names and eliminate industry footholds for any new talent who wasn't in the cambridge footlights. uh i mean the melbourne uni chucklers.
9
mrwho995 Mar 22, 2026 +9
UK arts in general is definitely in a poor state at the moment because successive governments refused to fund it and brought the ladder up for future generations - the latter of which we're really beginning to notice - and comedy is no exception to that. But I'd say for now it's still in a pretty good place. I enjoy the odd SNL skit and can enjoy US comedy (The Onion having historically been a real gem), but the SNL-style obnoxious, loud, unsubtle, one-dimensional humour really isn't a good fit for the UK IMO and isn't a direction I want to see our comedy go in.

bluehaven101 Mar 22, 2026 +12
it got funny half way through. Honestly, better than expected. 
12
Alarmed-Snow6985 Mar 22, 2026 +4
Yes, I think they need to be given a chance. To be fair there was some funny moments, and the writing has real promise. They've got the flavour of the US version. Will give them the benefit of the doubt.

AngryGardenGnomes Mar 22, 2026 +17
It's on Sky, so who gives a shit. No one watches Sky. This show will come and go, and we'll only ever hear about it on Reddit as the Americans (as you can see on this thread) will be the only people enjoying it.
17
SaysUselessThings Mar 22, 2026 +3
"no one watches Sky" 13 million subscribers, just shy of what Netflix have over here. Give over.
3
FlameFeather86 Mar 22, 2026 +10
But how much of that is because of Sky Sports? When Sky have the monopoly on a lot of sports people want to see, they get subscribers. Not saying people aren't watching Sky original comedies, Brassic has done pretty well, for example, but I'd argue more people are watching Sky Sports than anything else.
10
AngryGardenGnomes Mar 22, 2026 +1
That's SkySports, you Sky shill.

Throwitaway_456 Mar 22, 2026 +2
"Donald Trump though, amirite?" material is fine for a US audience and as much of a buffoon Trump is, we're not all brimming with TDS in the UK and needing him lampooning at every turn. I'll stick with rewatching Peep Show.

It's just annoying that they're so obviously constantly reading their lines. None of them are very good and it wasn't a particularly funny sketch.

Utterly horrendous- watched about half but that was all we could stomach. Sat stony faced through it. The writing is atrocious.

EastPackage5718 Mar 22, 2026 +3
Whoever played Starmer and Lammy just increased in nippiness as the night went on. Some good parts, but tough opening and their appearances just made me want to switch off.

Has anyone ever seen a funny American SNL sketch? Never mind an English one
3
shadowst17 Mar 22, 2026 +3
Feels a bit weird that out of all the things they decided to take the piss out of about Starmer(and there's plenty) it's the one thing most of the country has been pretty positive about his handling of. Maybe that's the point? Also it didn't click that this was a UK version of SNL till half way through as the humour is similarly as bad as it is on that show.
3
_mein Mar 22, 2026 +2
Bottom, The Young Ones, Filthy, Rich & Catflap to this dredged up, horrifyingly mediocre at best, bottom of the barrel kind of comedy.
2
toluwalase Mar 22, 2026 +2
This was a great first episode, I’m actually hyped for the rest of the season. Just so refreshing to see SNL in the UK and it’s only going to get better as they find their feet. My only complaint is they should bin the political cold opens. The only reason I tolerate them in the American version is I love JAJ’s Trump impression and Colin as Hegseth cracks me up with the frat bro vibe. So unless they get someone genuinely good at impressions just leave it imo
2

I'm sure i"LL read stuff about it being "hilarious " and "side splittingly funny" it will get 2 "seasons" because they don't want to admit it was always shit, then it will be binned.

This opening was the worse choice. Lots of other sketches were far better and all this did was set the show up on the back foot
1
CranielDaig Mar 23, 2026 +1
Well, it looks like the Americanisation of British Culture is pushing forward at full steam. Not sure what some people were watching from the comments, but the whole show was weak, and it felt like the death knell for British comedy.
1
InternetCrafty2187 Mar 23, 2026 +1
I quite liked him saying Lammy a lot. I thought he was going to go into a Frank Spencer or Carry On impression.  As it was the voicenote angle suffered because there was no back and forth. It would have worked better to record a few voice notes with Gen Z and Lammy chipping in to critique them. Something just to give it a bit of narrative.

Dwoodward85 Mar 22, 2026 +1
There's just something about trying to take an American show and making it fit British topics just doesn't work. I mean don't get me wrong I love American comedies: Will and Grace, Resident Alien, Roseanne, Friends and of course the classic Roots but SNL just doesn't work for a British Audience. We have a different style of comedy. \- There is a humour test in this. I wonder if anyone gets it.
1
ColdBeefBrian Mar 22, 2026 +7
The American one is shite as well. The occasional sketch hits but there's that much shit thrown at the wall some of it is going to stick eventually. This was particularly f****** awful though. It's like watching a school play written by a teacher who still idolises Ben Elton.
7
Dwoodward85 Mar 22, 2026 +3
Oh trust me I agree. There are a few funny moments from SNL (Will Forte is always funny to me) but as a whole the US one is terrible lol. 😂😂 to your second point. Genuinely funny.

How's the humor on the UK SNL? Does it lean more toward British style comedy or is it more like it's US big brother?
1
eltrotter Mar 22, 2026 +6
A mixed bag. Unsurprisingly, it’s at its best when it’s being weirder, more cynical, and edgier and at its worst when it’s hewing closer to the safe, inoffensive style of the US show.

Not gonna lie, British Islanders are the most diverse North Europeans when seen from outside. Yes, a lot end up by pale with "mousey' hair, but you can go from John Oliver and Cheryl Cole who looks almost spanish, to blonde swedish looking people. And of course London is one of the most racially diverse cities in Europe.

In fairness, this was the first episode so a few hours ago you were right to think they didn't have their own SNL.

UK Had a UK SNL show back in the late eighties that ran for 3 seasons. It took place on s Friday though so was called Friday Night Live.  Cast members included Hugh Laurie (House), Craig Ferguson, Adrian Edmondon (Alien Earth/Star Wars), Chris Barrie (Tomb Raider movies), Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry (Bones).

I know you've done this as things not British people may know them from but seeing Ade Edmondson and Chris Barrie as known from Alien Earth and the Tomb Raider movies is really disconcerting. Edit: Ah yes, Stephen Fry from Bones

Those are the most American names of shows you could come up with. Not Edmonson from Young ones, or Fry and Laurie from a Bit of, or Jeeves

The US SNL could use some competition. It’s been stale.

Why is it that the best peice of UK political satire in several years has come from SNL of all places? I know people are saying it was weak, but as a Brit, this kind of political parody is weidly absent rn

The Americans are obsessed with politics. It’s the only game in town, the road to wealth and riches. Now they’re trying to ship this ‘comedy’ over here.

Politicians SHOULD be boring, otherwise we wind up with clowns like Trump in power.

Starmer isn't just boring, he's an unprincipled scumbag. Just because he's not as loud as Trump doesn't mean he's not also a piece of shit.

Starmer is currently IMO one of worst PM I have ever lived under. Terrible Government and he has nothing going for him. Sooner he leaves the better. Hope the local elections Labour decimated
