“Eventually”. Life just sucks from the get go. In your earliest years you have no control over anything and then you get shoved into a shitty education/daycare system that desperately needs to be revamped. We have major infrastructure problems in our country. Capitalism is dying because the government only supports big businesses. We’ve stagnated in terms of jobs because at some point we just settled 5 days and 40hrs instead of increasing wages and lowering the work week like we had done before (not forcibly or artificially like government is trying to, but naturally because it just doesn’t make that much sense to work that often for most jobs). Income taxes are... yeah getting shoved into a locker is the best analogy, and that’s the least terrible part. Then because U.S. tax law makes so little sense (or maybe it does make sense and they’re just really pro super rich people) the richer you are the more write offs you can do to pay less in taxes. Just try mapping out or outlining your life (school, college, career, retirement, death) and take a look at it; it’s depressing. Life just sucks in general and then people make worse. Maybe it gradually gets worse, but I mean I HATED life as a kid because I had no freedoms, no worth, was forced to go to school (when probably 5 out of 8 hours I was either learning something pointless (still never learned how to do my taxes or balance a check book or health insurance or all the “common sense” bullshit I know had to figure out myself) or just doing literally nothing and wasting life) and that lasted over a decade. Life Definitely didn’t get “better” from then, but it just always sucked. God, do I hate that we’re born into this world of no choice of our own and then expected to be grateful for the shitty lives we have to live.
You can’t understand how much this IS my life! My husband and I have been together since 1995. We have two sons. They’re now 16 and 13. Our youngest literally would cry for a turtle...begging us for a turtle. We got him the turtle about five or six years ago...and now the turtle has commandeered our life. From a fly infestations that I can never remove to weird fungal disorders that we all have...because of the turtle. Did I mention it hisses at me when I feed it and only I feed it. My husband changes it’s cage water which honestly is too much for me to handle without gagging. Guess who quickly lost interest in the turtle... and I feel sort of bad for it because it’s entire life is basically terror feeding from to middle aged gay guys who used to be really really cool...but now it’s just the turtle. It will outlive us.
But fr if you find out you can’t care for it properly or it’s too much for y’all, there are certain rescues that can help you 💖 And I’m sorry but the terror feeding sounds hysterical 😂
This line was too real. When I was in college, my gay classmates were all talking about "how did your family take it/mine has accepted me..." and my response was pretty much "I honestly couldn't care less what my family thinks of me being gay..." Which turns out is *not* a popular response.
I was really laughing.... I also owned a terrifying Iguana, that mauled me in the face. It would attack you in your sleep, and chase you around the house. I kinda got a kick out of it for that.... but my girlfriend wouldn't even come over my house because of it. Luckily (sigh), it finally croaked after stuffing its face with dry cat food, it burgled from the cupboard. I found out later, that Iguanas need much more light than most owners can ever provide, so their "rutting" cycle gets extended indefinitely. Otherwise he would have been ornery for only about a month or so, once a year. RIP.... IGGY POP ... fierce berzerker lizard, had 6 long terrifying years lurking in my house.
@Sara Mill it’s all part of the democratic conspiracy to overthrow the secret iguana dictatorship that Controls United States government. DOWN WITH ANTI IGUANA PROPAGANDA AND UP WITH FREEDOM.
@Sara Mill That’s what the establishment wants you to think, their using the whole liberal vs conservative thing to cover up the fact that all the high ranking politicians are secretly serving the iguanas. The only national not controlled by iguanas is Canada. Don’t fall for the lies of the establishment. DOWN WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT UP WITH FREEDOM.
bowen's thesis of "gay men are way better at bullying me than straight boys were" is so good. you can tell this was written by the snl gays and i love that we're here and doing stuff like this.
It reminds me of this video critiquing the movement over 10 years ago. Something like “it doesn’t get better it just gets less bad.”. And unfortunately it is pretty spot on.
It's true lmao I work with a gay couple and the one you thought would be "the guy"basketvall shorts and slides and all that, is the chill one with her own biological son. The girly girl be running up on people with attitudes lmao.
as a gay person, i really love that they made a skit about gay people using all their gay cast members and their host. it seems like a simple, obvious casting choice but it really makes a difference
@Skylarkist Expert I don't think that's true at all, only like 3 cast members are lgbtq out of 15, and I suspect that Punkie won't be here in 1-2 more years. Kate mckinnon likely won't be staying much longer either.
Iguanas only live 15 years? ....uh.... uh... no one told Hercules or Sampson that! (the two biggest iguanas in Gitmo when I was there, both were known on base before Castro closed Cuba)
You gotta work with [preferred pronoun]. A lot. Whatever your iguana identifies as. More than likely it is either a female or a male with 2 penises. My iguana follows me around the house. Tuna is the chicken of the sea. Iguana is the chicken of the tree. Regardless of species, gender, or sexual identity, we can all relate to each other. Some of this was kind of joking, but people underestimate intelligence and overestimate it as well.
Common sense to many and news to few: This skit is GOLD and shows PROGRESSION because it's not about people admitting their comfort w/their sexuality, it's about other facts that every single individual has to deal with, regardless of orientation (hence: "the iguana").
I'm Bi and campaigned for marriage equality in the UK when I was younger, my best friend's older brother is gay and was against gay marriage, when I asked why he said "I'm for it in principle but my boyfriend will make me marry him if they make it legal so I hope they don't". I knew quite a few gay people who were "against" gay marriage for similar reasons, one of them said "Why would we want to get married? That's for straight people who want to ruin their lives and lose half their stuff". True equality is when we aren't defined by idiotic stuff like who we sleep with, thankfully we are moving in that direction.
That's probably what Punkie Johnson has to deal with, since she does have a wife and everyone thinks she's the man in the relationship, even though she doesn't identify as male. There was a standup piece she did about that.
I have a bug phobia and had to have life roaches delivered to the house for years because that’s all the bearded dragon would eat. Found some escapees in my bed one night and nearly lost my mind. Lizard problems are effing real.
i love how this skit is very funny but also very sincere in that it still does promote the original project while making fun of gay adulthood without being mean spirited.
It helps that the people in the sketch actually are gay (Bowen, Punkie, Kate, and episode host Dan Levy, who looks like he could be a cast member on SNL, and I'm not saying that because his father, Eugene Levy, also did sketch comedy) and that a writer who identifies as non-binary (Celeste Yim) wrote it.
@@ender003 It's Ironic because the US is one of the only nations where you have to do your own taxes and where the government of your country doesn't know exactly what you make and what you owe without you telling them.
Dan, Kate, Punkie & Bowen put together a skit just for us gays 😭😭😭 I know it's just one skit but it means a lot to see how successful & proud they are, and to know they're putting stuff out for our community. hope I can be like them someday
I love how they said “it gets better, now we’re having issues that used to be only accessible to straight people!” Theyre really right it IS progress 😂😂
I kind of want a skit of just Kate's video essays about the iguana, for example "I think the iguana is listening to conversations. I told my wife that I was going to pick up the kids from school, and when I got to the car the iguana was sitting in the driver's seat, staring at me. Another time, I saw the iguana sitting on my bed watching Jurassic Park. please send help"
The funniest laugh out loud snl skit I've seen in ages. The wife that got mauled in the face by an iguana - I just spat my coffee all over the laptop! Great job SNL.
it's really not that bad, srsly. most people don't gotta do shit, you get a w2 you pop it in to the ACTUALLY FREE turbotax, and not the fake free turbotax, and boom. it asks you a bunch of stuff you don't actually need to worry about tho, so thats annoying. no i did not come from a reservation, or get injured in a war, or buy farmland this year, please give me my money now

I love this skit so much - they should do more of these. Coming was hard - yeah - that part got better - but trying to fit in with the gay bullies became it’s own nightmare. I got dumped because I wore too much plaid. I got dumped because I didn’t want to watch another episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I got dumped because I told the truth about Justin Timberlake’s nasal whiny singing voice. I look better in a tank top than he ever did and I’m 36 years old.
Kate was featured a few years ago in a GQ magazine feature article and photo shoot. The photo shoot included pics of her with an iguana crawling on her. A while later in an interview with Seth Meyers she spoke of having had an iguana as a pet when she was a teen. It was apparently not a great experience. She concluded that iguanas do not belong in suburban homes.
Why was every sketch with Dan Levy absolute perfection?!!!!! I'm starting a petition to have Dan host SNL once a month for the rest of his life. Anyone joining? 🥰
I was in knots laughing at this sketch then I read your comment and I am done!! If I don't get total sensory deprivation with back up drugs soon I'll die from laughing!
I flew across the country to see my son in a play in high school. I ended up staying with him at his mothers house. Just before I went to sleep on the couch in their very large living room, I was told of their iguana... And of course it was in the couch... scratching.... It took me almost all night to finally fall asleep and when I woke up, there was this almost 4 foot long 'dinosaur' on the back of the couch looking right at me... I half expected a cape thing to come up behind its head and to attack me... I scrambled away with a scream and of course everyone else in the house thought it was so funny.... it was sofa king funny...
Can we just agree to now call snl The Kate McKinnon hour? Every single skit she is in, her humor just dominates! Sidenote..... totally can relate to the iguana, but mine is a bearded dragon!! They can live to be 20!!

Why does Dan Levy look exactly like Johnny Galecki used to?
Facebones2391 - exactly what I was thinking!!!
Dan's cuter though
Holy Sara Gilbert he does. Eugene is Johnny daddy
He literally tweeted that a few years ago and it's still a thing 😂😂😂
I think he looks like his dad in this sketch.
"it gets better and then somethings..EH"
“Now I just have one friend, and she’s my girlfriend - and she don’t even like me that much” ...... welcome to my (wonderful!) life 🤣😂🤣😂
“I made one vague tweet about chromatica and I had to move”
Me, a gay: ITS WHAT YOU DESERVE
Cause you only like definitive tweets about chromatica?
Future Nostalgia and Plastic Hearts outsold.
@@Bloooo95 Who cares lmao
@@tyrant-den884 lol
I was in knots laughing at this sketch then I read your comment and I am done!! If I don't get total sensory deprivation with back up drugs soon I'll die from laughing!
I feel old now. I remember when "it get's better" project started, and now there is a whole generation who grew up with it. Makes me happysad. :)
The fact that Kate had an Iguana growing up makes this so much funnier
That iguana bit got a genuine laugh out of me.
Best line.. "And when you go out don't be the one wearing basketball shorts. They think you're the one who fights."
Kate McKinnon is the best! She cracks me up in every skit! 🤣
so we’re just not going to talk about how handsome Dan looks in an earth tone shirt making pottery...?
I flew across the country to see my son in a play in high school. I ended up staying with him at his mothers house. Just before I went to sleep on the couch in their very large living room, I was told of their iguana... And of course it was in the couch... scratching.... It took me almost all night to finally fall asleep and when I woke up, there was this almost 4 foot long 'dinosaur' on the back of the couch looking right at me... I half expected a cape thing to come up behind its head and to attack me... I scrambled away with a scream and of course everyone else in the house thought it was so funny.... it was sofa king funny...
@@mezzb haha,... its a true story... I just thru the pun in because it seemed a good fit.
now I know why you never see dan levy and johnny galecki in the same room
01:56 those Tweets are top notch
“I know where you live” LOL
Kate and the iguana were all this sketch needed. I literally forgot about everything else that happened in it.
“I have an evil dinosaur living in my house”
Dan Levy with long hair looks like Johnny Galecki and now I can’t unsee that
Can we just agree to now call snl The Kate McKinnon hour? Every single skit she is in, her humor just dominates!
Sidenote..... totally can relate to the iguana, but mine is a bearded dragon!! They can live to be 20!!
My day got better from this skit🦎
You can't talk shit about Gaga... She's literally our queen. He should know that.
Whatever, snowflake.
First time on the internet? Called sarcasm. Going off of a joke. You're watching SNL.
@@StormAndSomeCats : I'm not the one who is here whining with butthurtt (like a first-timer on the Internet) because someone dared speak ill of your "queen."
@@Igaveyoumyfakename LOL, check it out everyone! We've hunted down another troll. XD Keep a safe distance, now.
@@Igaveyoumyfakename Get back under your bridge, sweetcheeks.
Everyone: talking about their lives, adding in funny quips here and there with plenty of range and comedic depth and value
Kate: *iguana*
LMFAO, "it figured out door knobs." It has a whole "Happy Fun Ball" vibe.
As a trans teen I love this lol. But yeah believe me I know adulthood will suck but it beats the way people treat me rn.
Omg the iguana bit had me rolling on the floor. Lmao
"I Tweeted one vague opinion about Chromatica and I had to move" 😂😭 SO FUCKING TRUE, y'all can be so vicious. I love Gaga but it's not her best
“People are going to think you’re the one who fights.” I’m dead
So relatable lmfao 😂😂 "I don't get bullied by straight people, just by gay people." And "I only had one friend, my girlfriend. " 👌👌
I was convinced that was Johnny Galecki...
😂😂😭 that totally went over my head
I came to the comments to see if I was the only one that thought Dan looks like Johnny Galecki here!
@@kathleenwyatt563 Um he's not dead
@@kathleenwyatt563 Eugene literally made a cameo in the monologue 4 hours ago 🤣🤣🤣
@@YitzyRavioli Thank you...I have no idea why I thought that! Sorry, Eugene! Still love you! 🤣
I shall now call iguanas "evil dinosaurs" for the rest of my life. Thanks, Kate.
something i really appreciated about this is how they used actually gay actors for this skit. made me happy!!
Wait, what?
They are actually gay? I thought it was just acting.
My gaydar is broken.
@@TheScreamingFrog916 yup! All of the actors are actually gay!
The way Kate says “The first thing I think of when I wake up is the iguana” -- I CANT BREATHE 😭🤣
“.... you’re the one who fights!😳”
🙌🏿🤣🤣🙌🏿 wait a tick, she don’t have them hands, I take my hands back. 😐
0:52 Leonard Hofstadter got fit and healthy after leaving Sheldon 😁😂
"when you're out with your girls, don't wear basketball shorts, because they're gonna think you're the one that fight" lmao
“Because they are so organized” I died 😂💀💀💀
I'm very glad that SNL can make a nice joke about the "It Gets Better" project. I guess it got better.
"..and now I have an evil dinosaur living in my house." 😆
😂 "It figured out door knobs."
“he’s figured out doorknobs”
"It figured out doorknobs." Lol!
1:33 I only have 1 friend, and she's my girlfriend and she don't even like me that much 😆
"I only have one friend, and she's my girlfriend, and she don't even like me that much." Ouch. That hits a bit too close to home. lol
This is hands down my favorite SNL skit
Kate with the iguana has me fuckign dying i cant lmaoooooooooo
"Just because you can get married, doesn't mean you should"
Um, duh
You don't have to be gay to learn that lesson.
Or as my dad said "If we have to get married so should they"
"I only worry about the iguana" I don't know why I find this line so funny, I just do 🤣
The accuracy 😭 I would tell my young gay self that it gets (relatively) better *sigh*
“There is an evil dinosaur living in my house...” 😭😭😭😭😭
3:03. Love that Kate almost broke here. A toast to the iguana.
Uh... I don't think so. This was a pre-recorded skit. I think that gesture was intentional.
I'm really glad I'm straight because I get to live my life without knowing what Chromatica is and it sounds like that's for the best.
Dan Levy is a younger version of his dad. But he is so good!
