Dysfunctional Family Dinner - SNL

The clanking of those plates and silverware... OMG!! 🤬

"Did somebody take your keys?" 'Can I finish the story?" lmao

The way the husband casually splits his daughter’s meal between him and his wife implies that this is often how the family dinners end. Perfect addition to the sketch

Newfound respect for Sarah Michelle Gellar not breaking character as Will Ferrell does yet another iconic comedic turn.

THE SOUND OF THE PLATES IS FILLING ME WITH THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND SUNS

It disturbs me how realistic this is.

The loud clanging of the silverware is such a perfect touch. Bravo to whomever came up with this. It's one of those things dysfunctional families do to try to alleviate tension.

I love when the husband splits the daughter's leftovers, he makes sure his wife gets all the vegetables and he all the meat. It's only a small detail but very observant.

It's been 20 years since I first saw this and I still yell "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS" anytime I get into a silly shouting match with people. Or if I want to assert my dominance over a group of people having an argument of their own.

Man, they must have had microphones in the plates. That silverware banging away on the plates really made this skit.

Everyone laughing at the other audience members laugh at 3:34 is gold

Ana Gastyer is another comedian that doesn’t get enough credit. She’s hilarious and a great actress

The wife isnt cutting her steak, shes splitting ATOMS, thats why their emotions are so unstable.

Ok how the hell they got actually footage of my family dinner

That "SHUT UP YOU DRUNKEN WITCH" came out of absolutely nowhere 😂

The moment it’s quiet and someone in the background just bursts out laughing and the whole crowd erupts is what I live for.

To all the people who comented that this sketch isn't funny: "I wish you weren't a liar"

“I drive a Dodge stratus, people are afraid of me.”

3:33 I love the laugh the audience gives at the way that ONE GUY in it laughs! Laughter gained by other people's own enjoyment = the function of humanity's need for comedy.

This sketch unnerves me. Its so well done. No sound other than the utensils scraping ceramics just a little too frequently. The bursts of cacophonic rage. The cyclic nature. The lack of a setup or punchline. Lack of resolution. Lack of eye contact. And we have all experienced tension like this and it breaks my heart and fills me with tension and regrets. This is a hollow shell of a scene and it is just like how memories like this sit inside us. Simmering in a reflection equally as dark as ourselves. Sarah Michelle Gellar was perfect for the daughter of the two SNL alums. Dysfunctional family dinner indeed.
