this actually had makings of a decent drama. Subverted the stupid "you're the exception" tropes. Kept it real. it actually started getting feelgood somewhere in there
@@chijen2010 Yes. Completely sure. A combined score of 880 isn't going to get anyone into Harvard, no matter what his background or ethnicity might be. 1100 plus a solid sob story and an excellent essay might give the right candidate a chance, but if you can't break 1000 you have no chance at all at any Ivy.
@tconlon251 3rd grade, Grandma was quizzing me, at 6x8.. I went umm.., SLAP! she slapped me across the face and said,"Umm is stalling.." I learned my times, PERFECTLY. hahaha
Yeah it really was. It reminded me those 90s street hood movie ending; where the Thug kid was happy & proud that his mentor didn't give up on him or....he reformed himself for a brighter future.
It's actually unbelievable how many accents McAvoy did in this one episode. Basically a different accent per sketch, that is crazy. Awesome job by him, this was a fun episode
This is the best Chris Redd has been on SNL. He’s so great in this 😃 Also, love how these great actors like Adam Driver and James McAvoy actually try in these sketches.
Now that I've grown up, about to turn 21 I realise that most the teachers back then really were like this out of school, a LOT of them smoke weed to deal with the stress as well, shrooms probably isnt outta the question
I thought it was funny all the other dealers knew about the SAT scores weren't good. One even scored 1200 waiting on change that was gut busting funny.😂
Didn't even know what SATs were for when I was in HS. Just took it to apply to college. Apparently got super shitty scores but still got into UC Davis.
James proves that real acting makes weird skits. He's such a great actor that I was starting to really be concerned with his life choices. Lol. Like don't do it Mr H. You'll ruin your life. Just say no!
I knew exactly where this skit was going, but the cinematography, editing, and the absolute deadpan delivery from McAvoy and brilliant performance from Redd almost had me thinking I was watching a movie!!! I swear, when SNL gets it right, they really get it RIGHT😂😂 This was too good!
"Next thing ya know, you'll be saying I got potential!" "You do." "And you'll be telling me that I'm smart or something." "You are smart." "And you'll be saying, 'Marcus, you're a genius!" *Mr. H hesitates* "Marcus, you're a genius!" "Ugh, Genius is a strong word." Good throwback to his role as Kanye West! 😂🤣
James actually tries in these skits and I love him for that
He's sooooo GOOD!
james mcavoy lover
Just saw Glass, and I wasn't even sure that WAS him! Truly versatile actor, with a very mutable face!
That was movie talent right there
He was funny I watched the whole show check it out 😂
Dumbass
Marcus could probably get a pretty high position in Quan’s drug empire with those SAT scores and math ability.
Deal *eyes wide open
This is actually Quan's origin story
I AIN'T PUSHING NO BUTTON
Then he turns into Ghost and realizes he should’ve took drivers training so he knew how to drive stick
🤣🤣🤣🤣 bruh!
mcavoy bringing the acting skills
Yep, that's what I thought too. This is some very solid acting.
@brell 2-1-5 So are half the other hosts and they usually kinda suck or it's clear their reading the cue cards.
When do they use cue cards on their video segments LMAO
@@RollingOrmond I'm talking about the whole episode. Not this specific skit.
Bringing the annoying comment, huh. Of course it gets likes lol, basic
I hate when SNL makes sketches like this because they all look so perfect and I wish these were full movies 🤦♂️
OMM
Darren super you must have never seen any good movies then my dude
I've seen tons, that's why I know these would be great 🤷🏻♂️
Truuue omg
these are parodies of actual movies that exist, just look up school teacher inspires hood students movies, you'll find a bunch.
"just like me" that actually was pretty cute
maivaiva I want to like this comment, but it’s at 880, like his SAT score. 😂😂😂.
JOE knows chill bro... wtf? It was a pretty sweet and laid back comment. Fucking troll...
Bet this fool finna start with "WOMEN THINK STUPID MEN ARE CUTE BUT NOT ME....IM A NICE GUY >:("
maivaiva You’re pretty cute
"Are you using a calculator?! It's a 40!"
"YO GO SMOKE YOUR WEED MAN!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it that funny to you?
"so 60, take away 100" not even subtractin right : P
You need some more 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
mybrainsondrums he gonna get a negative number hah
@@jiro4559 This is fucking hilarious, sjw boy.
James’ American accent is really good!
Also that twist though
Anonymous It was obvious, but the joke kinda kept me from thinking about it, so it was surprising in a way.
RIGHT i was like df was that LOL
Thomas L I think it’s up to the Americans whether his American accent is good or not.
its almost as if he is an actor
Not A Doctor looooooool I kno right
this actually had makings of a decent drama. Subverted the stupid "you're the exception" tropes. Kept it real. it actually started getting feelgood somewhere in there
Yeah definitely, I would hope that Marcus goes to school more and gets his score to 1100.
It was making fun of those exact movies lol
It's like Summer School with Mark Harmon. Most of the kids don't do great, get As or anything at the end, but they all improved.
880 isn't even average tho. He is the exception, but in a bad way.
@WD A The irony of this comment is delicious. Instead of trying to sound like an elitist prick next time, use the word "you're" properly. Cheers! 🍺
Harvard is out of the Question.....Funny as hell
I had to Rewind that one!! 😂😂
Right😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Are you sure?? The Harvard Asian lawsuit says otherwise.
@@chijen2010 Yes. Completely sure. A combined score of 880 isn't going to get anyone into Harvard, no matter what his background or ethnicity might be. 1100 plus a solid sob story and an excellent essay might give the right candidate a chance, but if you can't break 1000 you have no chance at all at any Ivy.
James McAvoy can always get it but in this sketch he can *specially* get it
Especially. Specially get it would mean he's handicapped or something.
@@KarioDudeRBN No.
I am am surprised that he is funny hats off to James (Split) McAvoy
It meaning the shrooms?
Sigh...i just love this comment.
of course mr. h rolls up in a prius 😂
Hybrid or electric of course
hahahahaha😅😅😅they always do lol
Laila K Is that a good car or bad?
KlickingKay ASMR it’s a great car... for the environment
Lookin for magic
I was actually hoping to score some shrooms 😂
I don’t get it. Why would he try to get mushrooms late at night from a couple of kids?? Shouldn’t he go find any Asian grocery store??
@@Outplayedqt you don't want to have some budget shrooms man. That shit is as bad as a McDonald's mixed with some carpet cleaner.
@@Outplayedqt makes sense actually, maybe he already knew the shroom quality
Shrooms for a bachelors party actually sounds like a really bad idea
@@Jonathan-rf5cp which is kind of the point of the joke, everybody trippin balls and staring at an empty wall.
Marcus: “Like Marcus you’re a genius”
Mr. H : ....
Lmfaaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 i died on that one too!!!
It DOES get thrown around too easily these days lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"It was a little all over the place." That moment where you didn't expect the line but the believability of it makes it even funnier.
Bro really pulled out his calculator 😂
A good book: "All the Math You'll Ever Need"
@tconlon251 3rd grade, Grandma was quizzing me, at 6x8.. I went umm.., SLAP! she slapped me across the face and said,"Umm is stalling.." I learned my times, PERFECTLY. hahaha
It be like that sometimes
The fact that he had a calculator on him in the hood shows he got mad potential. Must be some kind of genius.
"No, Harvards definitely out of the question, especially for this score" 💀
“Marcus you a genius....” (crickets) 😂😂😂
The ending was actually really heartfelt. That little "just like me" made me aww
Yeah it really was. It reminded me those 90s street hood movie ending; where the Thug kid was happy & proud that his mentor didn't give up on him or....he reformed himself for a brighter future.
No. Aw nothing. It’s Diddy. We don’t like him
Okay drug dealing 101 always bring EXACT change!
IKR
And if its been 10 minutes, you should know by then that you aint getting your change
I was kinda thinking that...
Also always face your bills
Huh? I did not know that
It's actually unbelievable how many accents McAvoy did in this one episode. Basically a different accent per sketch, that is crazy. Awesome job by him, this was a fun episode
James american accent sexy af
Everything that man says and doesn't say is sexy af
Well did you hear his Philly accent in that other skit?
That it is. He's pretty damn sexy himself.
I had to unlike that real quick that was questionable af
@retron phil5 so he looks like you?
This is the best Chris Redd has been on SNL. He’s so great in this 😃
Also, love how these great actors like Adam Driver and James McAvoy actually try in these sketches.
Watch "the game" snl sketch chris is pretty great in that as well.
Papyrus!
@@oscarsalazar5876my favourite.
That's the game bruh
This was quite brilliant. Chris Redd is under utilized most weeks.
He is a featured player, so he isn't used so much. I have a feeling that next year he will move up to a full fledged cast member.
McAvoy putting in that American accent like a pro!
He is a pro.
Pft-
*”Ah this is a test right?”*
*”Mm definitely not I just want to get my shrooms”*
Give a man his *shrrooooms*
He's getting them... Pete told him to come back tomorrow. At least someone there was able to recognize the situation.
Thanks for explaining a shit joke
Every sketch he’s done he put in so much work. He’s so good. Set the standard high for the next host.
Genius is thrown around tooo much
This reminds me of how Obama got a college scholarship.
@@baldwinwallace4926 Go back to stormfront.
@@baldwinwallace4926 Get yo stupid ass outta here
You think so? You're a genius!
Honestly
Give that skit an EMMY.
Dang, I wish Mr. H was my teacher, I would attend school 24/7
ScarlettP you would
You wouldn't because then he wouldn't be a known actor but just a teacher like all the rest.
but ... they close school on weekends...
Now that I've grown up, about to turn 21 I realise that most the teachers back then really were like this out of school, a LOT of them smoke weed to deal with the stress as well, shrooms probably isnt outta the question
I had a beautiful math teacher in 8th grade. He was just as gorgeous as James.
880 is really bad 😂
I thought it was funny all the other dealers knew about the SAT scores weren't good. One even scored 1200 waiting on change that was gut busting funny.😂
Even the army won't take him
tconlon251 I think they got rid of the writing portion again, it’s just math and English now.
Yeah. I had a friend who got 1500 something and went to Duke 🙄
Didn't even know what SATs were for when I was in HS. Just took it to apply to college. Apparently got super shitty scores but still got into UC Davis.
For some reason I can never catch SNL live when it's playing on TV but I always catch it 2 hours later on TH-cam.
James Yoo Me too! Because I can only focus when i'm on my phone. Haha. 🙈
I can't stand having a 3 minute sketch and then 8 minutes of commercial, so that's why I choose TH-cam
Nowaday, TV s so booooooring lol
James Yoo Asian James mcavoy XD
Same
McAvoy chill bro! It's just an SNL skit. No need to bring your A-list acting skills 😀
Never settle for less.
When you're that good, you can't turn it off.
Chassez le naturel, il revient au galop.
James is such an excellent actor
James McAvoy once again killed it! Whole episode was hilarious.
lol this was good
OMG!! Hi Bridge!!!!
Chris Redd always writes the best skits
All i could picture was Kanye in this sketch lol
He wrote this? It's quite funny!
How do you know he wrote this?
@@sha11235 he wrote most of his sketches and songs. He won an Emmy for Barack song he wrote it
Something tells me that James and Chris should make a promising buddy movie that can’t disappoint somewhere in a few years
All his homies raggin' on him though... LOL!
had me dead hahaha those are real friends lol
James is fantastic in this sketch and I love how he's professional while everyone else is over the top and it just works
Excellent acting from everyone, but especially the two leads!!
LOL he really needs to go back to school!
This reminds me of how Obama got a college scholarship.
Everybody talking about James (and he's great!) But Chris Redd killed this!
880 outta 900! Ha!
I know. Hilarious
James Mcavoy is one of my favs right now, ever since i watched “wanted”, just intense acting
Chris Redd is an awesome cast member. Just sayin'.
Great acting by Chris as well, so natural
Chris was awesome! More stereotypical.
"Brave teachers comes down to the hood to save his GIFTED STUDENT"
I see what he did there
Being able to buy Shrooms from Pete is extremely believable.
Also, I love how James actually really tries and acts so well.
James proves that real acting makes weird skits. He's such a great actor that I was starting to really be concerned with his life choices. Lol. Like don't do it Mr H. You'll ruin your life. Just say no!
taking shrooms at a bachelor party isn't gonna ruin ur life lol
wtf is this comment lol
I knew exactly where this skit was going, but the cinematography, editing, and the absolute deadpan delivery from McAvoy and brilliant performance from Redd almost had me thinking I was watching a movie!!! I swear, when SNL gets it right, they really get it RIGHT😂😂 This was too good!
Well done SNL, BRILLIANT writing, and acting.
Yes!
I like when they give Chris Redd characters with a lot of lines. Dude is funny.
His American accent is so good holy shit.
@ninethreefivesix - it's solid!! 👍🏽
It's not. It's overwrought.
@@sweetwater88 I honestly don't see anything wrong with it? Some of my teachers literally sounded like hin
Yeah. James was all right too.
Part time Mr. H, full time Professor X
James is amazing, he’s always been my favorite actor, that will never change😊
I love how the sketches took actual acting ability. It made the jokes come naturally
No, Harvard is definitely out of the question
LOL, just being realistic. Even State colleges is a bit of a stretch.
This has to be one of those sketches that burrows deep into my synapses until that one morning I wake up chuckling, “880! “
Great sketch, and Chris Redd is a rising star - I expect we'll be seeing much more from him in the future. (Mikey and Pete were also pretty funny!)
One of the best SNL sketches I have seen for a while, well put together, great play on the cliche with a funny not cheesy outcome, nice!
Omg this skit was so hilarious lol.... All humor aside, they are both actually doing a really good acting job lol....
This was the winner last night. Great sketch
Gotta love McAvoy
This is a peacefully explosive, mind bending stuff. Excellent.
This skit was brilliant. They really need to bring back James McAvoy
"enough of this coach carter bull snaz"
😆🤣
I’m a school counselor. I fell on the floor laughing at the facts of this sketch 😂😂😂😂
“Are you using a calculator for that?! It’s $40”😂
Chris Redd is such an underrated cast member. He's great!
Absolutely love Chris Redd. He is really good!
Chris' acting in this is really excellent
Plot twist was as good as M. Night shymalan's!!!
I actually got hooked in to this. Great acting! It should have been longer!
finally a funny sketch from SNL. more like this one please! :)
Brits can do American accents so well!
*scottish* *british* *whatever* XD
james mcavoy as a teacher is PERFECTION
'Yeah man, come through tomorrow '
🤣🤣🤣
Chris Redd really knows how to get into his characters. He's a welcome addition to SNL.
I was expecting Hedwig to pop into the light any second. Lol, James McAvoy is such a versatile actor.
This is Quan’s origin story. 😂
"Are you using a calculator for that.. its like 40"
"I actually got like a 1260"🤣😂. That was about my SAT score
James McAvoy is the man! Purely talent!
I don't know why the ending made me smile. It was just so right for the whole sketch. 😁
James for an Oscar!!!! Dude is even helping get kids of the street.
"Next thing ya know, you'll be saying I got potential!"
"You do."
"And you'll be telling me that I'm smart or something."
"You are smart."
"And you'll be saying, 'Marcus, you're a genius!"
*Mr. H hesitates*
"Marcus, you're a genius!"
"Ugh, Genius is a strong word."
Good throwback to his role as Kanye West! 😂🤣
James macvoy acting in this sketch was better than Adam Sandler who filmography.
who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who
Someone has never watched Uncut Gems...
"I was hoping to score some shrooms." Killed me😂
Dude was fishing for the compliments and ain’t get one after “you’re bright”
“Well you are buying weed right now,so you can leave” lol😂😭😭😭😭
James McAvoy is perfect in everything! Love how he seems genuinely concerned about his student but just came to score some shrooms. 😂😂😂
The ending was perfect, the "genius" was having a positive outlook on his essay and what the counselor said about it.
Well written, acted, directed, and produced. This is an SNL greatest sketch here. Hilarious!
Oh man that last "just like me" was so nice- like it was real
Nice to see Pete. Shout Out to Pete Davidson.
I like how Charles Xavier is in here around new mutants for his school
Man for a second there I wanted to watch the whole movie. James is so fucking good at acting.
Gahdammit that man James can act bro!! 🤦🏾♂️
Chris Redd is unbelievable good at playing these type of characters ( the surprisingly dumb person).
Was just thinking of this skit yesterday and it now shows up in my TH-cam recommendation. Spooky 😂
Granted I haven’t watched SNL for at least two or three months, but this was by far the most entertaining skit
