@@cosmicdarkmatter1128 - how is the reporter's point (and what IS her point? that thesbians aren't supposed to be thought of as lesbians?) undermined by the topic?
@@unfuzzy Her "point" was really that she didn't like the anchorman's comment... But, if you think about it, the play "Rent" is not really child-friendly at all. It's got a lot of LGBTQ stuff in it; to change any of that, you would end up with almost a different play altogether... That's why even though she'd be right for saying that to the anchor, there's no way small kids should be doing a play called "RENT"... In that play the thespians are indeed often playing lesbians...lol
@@cosmicdarkmatter1128 True, Rent isn't really a child-friendly musical, and I think that was part of the joke of this sketch. But I don't think she disliked the anchor's comment because LGBTQ words aren't child-friendly, I think she disliked his comment because he was being perverted.
I have a degree in theatre and let me tell you - this is painfully accurate. This is actually what Rent Junior did - they converted AIDS to diabetes. They’ve done similar things with Avenue Q and Les Mis. It’s hysterical.
Tori Dunlap they didn’t actually do this in the rent school edition. This sketch was based off one school that turned HIV/AIDS into diabetes. But even in the school version it’s supposed to be about aids
"Yes this body provides a comfortable home/For the..." what??!! How do you adapt that lyric? Shit, make it about leukemia, then you can at least still say "Your own blood cells betray"
sheridan891 nope she had zero hand in the writing. It was brought up in interviews of the writers of the sketch. IMO she almost ruined the sketch. The character doesn’t fit AT ALL in the sketch. 100% show horned into a really really funny sketch. Much stronger sketches have been written for her, characters are not her strong suit. Like on “Inside Amy Schumer” the funny sketch’s on that show we’re when Amy played the “straight man” and she shined in those sketches.
sheridan891 jeez not every piece of comedy has to be “clever” or “deep”- in fact a lot of comedy isn’t, I’m willing to bet you only have a problem with that line because it was performed by Amy. She’s definitely not the funniest comedian out there but she has her moments, no need to mindlessly hop on a hate bandwagon for the sake of it
That Equus joke just flying under the radar like nobody bat an eye at kids performing a show where a naked man tries to gouge out horses' eyes and have sex on stage.
OMG I actually used to LOVE the book Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping, when Amelia literally hits the road with a stick and grills meat steaks in the shape of tents and puts potato chips in the cookies with some chocolate.
Everything about this is accurate The tech week line "Thespians rhymes with lesbians" Changing it to be more kid friendly, but it changes the whole meaning of the show.
The fact that they kept everything in the line about April(?) except the word AIDS is hysterical. I remember the first time I watched RENT and that line woke me right up. It felt like really important info deserving a song being given as almost a throwaway line. I honestly think it’s more effective that way too
I am diabetic and this has me in stitches. I can't.... I just can't.... And even though I have never ever shared a needle, and even though I "waited until after marriage" (yes I did!!), I still got diabetes anyway SMH 😂😂😂😂😂
That part shocked me especially since I am an aspiring actor and I haven't seen a production of "Equus" but I read the play a year and-a-half ago. I'm a grown man and even I found "Equus" disturbing, let alone kids doing a production of "Equus." On the other hand, it's nice to see little theatre references thrown in here and there. 😃
"This body provides a comfortable home for diabetes.. as does mine." "My blood surgars low, i have a problem with that" "Insulin break. You? Me. You? Mimi...." "To living with living with living with living with not dying from diabetes!"
Rent is my favourite musical and it isn’t as listened to in my age group as other musicals such as Heather’s or DEH. I love it when you actually see Rent used, AND this is hilarious! Kudos.
Cecily Strong is my favorite current female cast member of SNL. She really lives up to her name because she never breaks character. She's freaking strong all right. 💪
Look up "Inside Amy Schumer - Babies & Bustiers", and you'll get that character's origin. xD th-cam.com/video/e39dwHozfsc/w-d-xo.html (found it, there you have it)
The thumbnail looks like it was taken at dress rehearsal, she’s wearing a different top. Boy they’re really working to get sketches to TH-cam as quickly as possible
tralfama dorian Really? I guess I never noticed, cuz they usually look like direct captures from the video rather than separate photos. I just figured they started this time because they’ve now started uploading clips even while the show’s still airing
Ryan Brandes SAME HERE I love when they don't use hosts who are horrible people just because they're a polarizing character who they think will get views
Reminds me of the youth theatre my highschool tried to put together. The 'director' wanted me to play Barack Obama (I'm white btw), with a dress on, and go around the stage collecting money from actors...biggest "I'm out" I've ever done.
There's no high horse to not wanting to find people who waste half your life knowing their friends, beliefs, culture, religion, you're not interested in. That drag you around the country just for a girl or job u could have had already without their baggage. Dont want that mc commercial girl
I had to watch a High School production of Hair in front of the cast's parents and they only had two black people in it so I definitely relate to this.
Actually i thought it was going to be great after the first kid with the guitar. The Amy Schumer thing appeared to take the sketch in an unrelated direction.
I read a story from a little while ago about a high school that really did change Rent from being about AIDS to Diabetes- thats probably where they got this inspiration from lol
"I don't like that. Take him off the split-screen."
Finally a correspondent willing to put an anchor in their place.
My favorite part.
yeah, it would be great but, the Topic is the play "Rent" for children...really undermines the reporter's point...

Kyle's line "Take your insulin Roger!" cracks me up every time.
Whats,so funny about that line?
I think the fact that he’s yelling it at an actual child makes it even funnier!
"I'm diabetes positive."
Take your POWDERed sugar, take your candy
I'm diabetus positive.
I'm ion positive
Yet there's no reason to ever watch "lil REL"

But that’s the only way to reach a younger demographic?
No, you dumbass, kids understand the concept of getting sick.
It’s not enough. We need cheeks in seats.
How many conversations about the thea-tur, or lil rent, have you overheard, lately?
okay I need to found this person that find Rent needs a junior version so I can find them and take them to the nearest mental hospital
“TAKE YOUR INSULIN ROGER”
Jeffrey Pagels 🐐
Stupid fucking sketch... I'm triggered cuz I'm type 1... oh, well...
Igor Schmidlapp im type one too.
That poor child actor that had to be in this sketch
Igor Schmidlapp maybe you should take your insulin igor
“Left a note saying: we got diabetes, before sLITTING HER WRISTS”
"Yes this body provides a comfortable home/For the..." what??!! How do you adapt that lyric? Shit, make it about leukemia, then you can at least still say "Your own blood cells betray"
I missed the first 3 mins of this live. I was so confused when i hear "Roger got diabetes from having sex."

Perfect out of context moment
Ig they couldn't say its from sharing needles

I thought the same.
They don't recognize the name "Equus." It's the first I'm hearing of it. :P
That's what the play is about!? I just thought it was about a guy who's friends with a talking horse!
Damn. I didn’t know about the gouging the horse’s eyes part. That must’ve been pretty controversial.
@@sorryifoldcomment8596🤣
"I don't like that. Take him off the screen"
What a queen
Lil Rent...I wouldn't be surprised if that's a rappers name 😂
I was thinking the skit was about a broke rapper before I saw the video.
...that's what I thought it was gonna be lol
That's what I thought this was lmao
I'm also included in thinking that what it was
Chante Bacon I thought it was at first. Especially since last weekend's Friendos skit.
Next up LiL Heathers
Heather drank an expired Capri sun
Guys Heathers Jr. is really a thing. Real line: “If you lack the juice, go play duck duck goose.”
JD skins his knee instead of blowing up

you mean "Illegal Heathers"

There's another book about her ass? I remember one where she does chores literally and causes confusion.
That book was actually really funny.
how about a spoiler alert next time. thanks for ruining the book for the rest of us!

"Thespians rhymes with lesbians"

Ladies and gentlemen, a preview of FOXs upcoming “”RENT Live”
PowerGlove79 man Rent LIVE! looks amazing...
Nxjdmdjdkdjek honestly
This statement is FACT 😂
Actually seems better then rent live was
PowerGlove79 funny it turned out so much worse FOX really bumbled an awesome opportunity.
Just finished doing a production of Rent, and this is literally what the cast lives and breathes on for jokes, it’s great.
My High School did the uncensored version of Rent the musical when I was a senior! It was awesome... I was in the stage crew.
Mikey Day is such a great writer. Truly excellent.
Rent is my favourite musical and it isn’t as listened to in my age group as other musicals such as Heather’s or DEH. I love it when you actually see Rent used, AND this is hilarious! Kudos.
"Roger got diabetes from having sex with her girlfriend."
Awwww. That girl is so sweet.
The sad thing is that Rent Jr. actually exists
I never needed to know what the love child of "Cain't Say No" from Oklahoma and "Out to Night" from Rent sounded like
I feel like he's just doing a John Mulaney impression.
Yeah it also feels like something John Mulaney would have written.
AceOfROMs Okay, so it wasn't just me?! I actually thought it was John for a minute.
He's such a hack. Cannot stand Mikey Day.
whaat? mikey day is the best. very versatile.
lol i also totally thought it was mulaney for a sec
"I used the find and replace feature" DEAD 💀

"Take your insulin, Roger!"
I’ve seen Rent a few times, that Mark and Roger scene was fantastic. 😂😂😂😂
They never did explain why a girl in Denver has a Kentucky accent, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
It’s a throwback to another sketch from a couple of years ago, where she played the same character
WAY too much
Look up "Inside Amy Schumer - Babies & Bustiers", and you'll get that character's origin. xD
th-cam.com/video/e39dwHozfsc/w-d-xo.html (found it, there you have it)
I cackled throughout Amy’s whole segment 😂
The thumbnail looks like it was taken at dress rehearsal, she’s wearing a different top. Boy they’re really working to get sketches to TH-cam as quickly as possible

Spencer W.
My fav one is with Baldwin (about military drill). Check it out. He has totally diffefent haistyle in the thumbnail :).
tralfama dorian
I didn't notice either.
It could be bc it's easier to get still photography in rehearsals
I'm a type one diabetic and I'm laughing so hard 😂
I love when Amy does the girl from Toddlers and Tiaras.
And I love it when Rapists arent on SNL
Ryan Brandes SAME HERE I love when they don't use hosts who are horrible people just because they're a polarizing character who they think will get views
Collegehumor did a parody of Honey Boo Boo/Toddlers and Tiaras way before Amy Schumer.
Ajay Madala well Amy had to steal it from somewhere!
Klaus Lily Tomlin 😏
Lil' Equus was hands down the best part.
I would think this was funnier if I wasn't from Denver and hadn't actually seen a youth production of rent from our local JCC 🤣
Sounds like a modern rap name.
I clicked for that reason
The kid from Wells for boys! ❤
Also in Come Play
0:15 "hey we're on camera now, start moving"
Cecily’s expressions!! What a treasure.
I came here thinking
LiL Rent was some rapper name

not to reopen a two year old comment but that director sounds like a garbage person. i hope they were fired
wtf is this sketch 😂

*sees title*
"oh is this something about landlords and tennants and stuff?"
*hears mention of "thespians"*
"...oh no."
This was so funny!! I love the character Amy was playing it was on sketch on her show and it was hilarious
Too bad she sucks at comedy and also steals jokes and rewords them from other comedians.
One of the best skits!
SNL needs to learn how to end a sketch. Most of theirs start strong, and end with a fizzle.
"I don't like that, take him off the split screen" hahahaha
I think the concept was funnier than the execution.

Amelia bedelia books are what's up though

Amy killed me! I don’t know how you can be at the same time 10 and 60 years old. 😂
diabetes was actually a death sentence at one point lol
Came here after watching Rent on Fox, wasn't disappointed 😂😂😂
Did they REALLY have to cut "poo poo" from the performance?!? 🤔
I had no idea that was what Rent was about. 🤣
Who’s coming back to this after copypasta theater?
How have I not seen this til now? “Little Equus”? I’m dead!🤣🤣
im in a production of rent rn and this is a widespread joke
Half the fun is watching cecily strongs face for her reactions to everything
I've never heard about this musical so I thought it would be about Lil Tay
