Y’all better have Willem back. He killed everything he did this episode. This skit was especially on his back and his performance really helped the cutaways. Fantastic stuff
There's actually a movie called "Shadow of the Vampire" that had Dafoe as a vampire. This is just an extension of that and maybe his role as the hotel manager on "The Florida Project".
Good grief this is hilarious!! I cracked up every time he SCRUNCHED his face when saying, 'vampire head ass'. This killed me : "We saw a Bat in the yard, that was you right?" 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't even realize he messed up until I saw the comments. I thought he was building up to a reveal that his vampire head ass had flown out of jail, taken over the marriot, and stolen a uniform from a receptionist named "Amy". Hell, I'm not fully convinced he didn't.

"And I keep in touch with all my former inmates. Even the ones that have done something bad that no one knows about yet." I love that this implies that he's blackmailing them, despite the whole premise of "Nice Jail". I wonder if blackmailing people is why he went to jail in the first place.

Its always been cool how Willem jumps into his character roles. These recent snl sketches are really off the wall. None of his characters are typical or expected. Some people simply fit perfectly in a show like this.
Same reason the scene in Spiderman 2002 where Norman gets his hand slapped by Aunt May for picking at the casserole during Thanksgiving dinner, then just stares at her with murderous intent as he licks his fingers and sharpens the knife to carve the turkey is considered funny: you're more laughing out of fear than hilarity.
I thought it was some weird vampire serial killer thing where they like to lick things that they're sending to their victims or having to do with their victims like they want to spread their DNA in some way if not by spittle from their mouth onto an envelope that they know the other person will touch.
Cause of the implication....seems his blackmail is cause of like half of the"guests" at Nice jail. Since he doesnt seem motivated by money,why does he do it? He already has eternal life,what the hell is this vampire head ass up to?
Well, now I know that if I ever want to write a murder scene in an erotic thriller or erotic horror, I'll think of this part and all the disturbing subtext that could be mined from it.
I never, never, ever, ever thought there would be a day when I’d hear Willem Defoe say “head-ass.” I am CHOOOOOKIIIIIIING!!! 😩😂😭 This is my new favorite thing! 😭😭😭 I’m not exactly sure why Lorne cut this (although I think I have an idea) but it would have absolutely KILLED during the live airing.
I’m pretty sure Keenan probably wrote and taught him how to deliver the “Vampire head ass” line. William Dafoe has always scared me . But he is a great actor.
it was hilarious. robert pattison complaining about the cooking didn't upset willem till robert said he would ef a steak if he had one. that was what got to willem. it was kind of funny. when a sex act was mentioned willem became like a genuinely hurt wife saying 'you don't like my cookin?'
I can see why this may have been cut- it runs a bit long and doesn't really go much further than the simple joke of him being really hung up on people making fun of him for looking like a vampire- but his performance really sells it. If I could choose to swap this out with anything, I'd axe the "Blowing Yourself" skit.
Same. I like the concept of the sketch. It's just a weird premise that I think could've worked better if it had been cut short by about a minute. I'd replace the Office Song sketch with this one though.
The only way I could see that happening is if viewers complained about the "Blowing Yourself" sketch being too raunchy and they replace that sketch in reruns with this (it has happened before on other episodes, like when they cut a TV Funhouse cartoon about Michael Jackson and replaced it with another about Pat Robertson's newest Christian family values show devolving into a Britney Spears PSA about sex). Sadly, that never happened.
Classic last sketch of the night 😂 I wish this aired! Also love that they got to reuse the hotel set from a few weeks ago, bravo on the resourcefulness

The tragic part of this sketch is that a "nice jail" that allows prisoners to more easily transition to civilian life is actually kind of a good idea.
Especially those with their vampire head ass.
Halfway in jail. and halfway out. like some kind of halfway house.
