Not every mom wants to be a grandma, but these moms definitely do.
Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon light up this Saturday Night Live sketch about a HomeGoods commercial shoot that goes flying off the rails. The director (Paul Rudd) just wants these two women to be real on camera and talk about what they’d like in a holiday gift. Their answer is a tale as old as time for anyone who’s ever had a pushy, baby-wanting mom: grandchildren.
Rudd is mostly just there as these two powerhouse comics do what they do so well, from Aidy’s intentionally weird line read of “grandchildren” which moves the emphasis to the middle syllable to Kate’s… Kateness. She really has her own weirdo vibe in every sketch, and it shines brightly here.
An ‘SNL’ HomeGoods commercial becomes a heartfelt, deranged plea for grandchildren
