Emily Blunt also taking the time out of her busy schedule to laugh at comments about her answering question from a reluctant audience member about a short film she stared in. What can't she do
@@Slesaint17 my senior year of high school I had to do a film with someone who wanted a really artsy film that had no purpose and no one understood. I wanted to do a funny ghost film that everybody laughed at.
And this is why one shouldn't visit the comments section before watching the movie. Because there's always someone that feels the need to spoil it for everyone, as if the ones that did watch it need to be reminded of what they just watched.
Well, that's not exactly my fault, is it? Nobody forced you to read the comments before you watched the video. The comment section exists so people can discuss what happens in the video. By the way, the ship sinks, and Bruce Willis is a ghost.
*I loved this movie! Here is my fan theory about the film "qua".* I believe It's about a woman who's daughter died at a young age and left her alone, but the memory of her daughter still haunts her. The evidence that supports this is the opening scene. Which has music similar to a lullaby, and shows the mother crying in the bathroom where her daughter drowned in the bathtub. Afterwhich, the film portrays the mother running through the forest of trees with the number 3. Which I presume is the age her daughter was when she died. The mothers feels so much guilt for her death that it becomes manifest. She sees herself as the murderer of her child. Or the "qua"- which means capacity of being. That is why she say's "It's me!' at the end of the film. lol jk I'm bored asf.
I'm pretty sure Kyle and Beck wrote this. They are incredible at capturing the real-life cringe of the amateur art world. It's equally hilarious and uncomfortable to watch.
@@mook_butt8037 Something "useful", like in a science field or finance. Do you want to know the real reason to go to Mars, C Conroy? It's not go get rocks, minerals, and sand...it's because we can do it...to say we achieved it...the beauty of doing it. Why is film studies useful? Because art is beautiful. The world doesn't just need biology and money.
I agree, and most pleasantly sasheer zamata was not in the skit. That affirmative action hire does not deserve to be on SNL. She is bush league and a terrible actor!!! Not funny. She was hired ONLY because of her black skin. This is the PC world we deal with today. SMH...no im not donald trump but i realize this post sounds like him hahah he is a jackass.
this skit was perfectly true and perfectly executed to anyone in and around film school...and funny. just shared with daughter to caution avoidance of same for her senior thesis....well except the starring role in a major motion picture at the end.
I've had films in 100+ festivals and yup... this is 100% spot on, LOL. Clearly, whoever made this completely gets it. The stacked audience with 'only' filmmakers and friend... accurate in big cities where people don't care about coming out to festivals. The passing the mic and waiting (make sure you stand in the middle so you have time to think if you're in a Q&A though!). And the pretentious answers where the filmmakers care more than the audience, absolutely, haha. The first questions, in order, are always; 1 - What inspired you to make the film? 2 - What was your budget? Then it's one of these; What camera did you shoot on? How long did you shoot for? How big was your crew? There ARE occasionally festivals in mid-size towns like Napa where you get a lot of people off the street and it's so much better. That part at the end is hilarious where you're asked about your current project and it's always "nothing" but people get super creative with making-up something that sounds important.
This situation literally happened to me back in 2007 when I went to see Joachim Trier's film "Nouvelle donne" in a cinema in Paris (near the Montparnasse station). The whole crew was there (over a dozen people) and only 3 people in the audience. They came with bottles of Champagne and served us a glass. I seem to remember it was one of the actresses of the film who handed me a glass. So classy! And the film was good!
I used to own a big nightclub and people thought I was crazy to have an open mic on Tuesdays. But it was a success because every band that showed up would bring their family and friends plus themselves. We had our regular soundman so this was a chance for small bands to play on a big stage so it was very popular. There was no actual audience LOL but we had about 60 people!
assmane999 You think this is pretentious and artsy? What kind of "artist" sites Richard Linklater and Charlie Kauffman? If you really want to show off your artiness for the one lady who showed up, you have to site people like Jean-Luc Goddard or Federico Fellini, or Ingmar Bergman. I'm speaking as a film student currently so I know this phenomena better than most. Also, Madonna sited every single name I mentioned when promoting her directorial debut "Filth and Wisdom". And yes, Madonna really did direct 2 movies.
What a waste of a college degree. Theyre every bit as pretentious and artsy as they are made out to be! They all show up to the screening, outnumbering their own audience, and cant admit to themselves how ridiculous they look and unworthy of the price of admission their work is.
Vanessa Bayer is awesome and her multi faceted comedy is hilarious! In real life; it is so funny how these question and answer sessions are set up as if these individuals act as if their short movie was the cinematic masterpiece that every human being should watch before they die. I have actually sat in on a few question and answer sessions and it was hilarious how melodramatic these individuals were.
I feel weird about it .... and not sure why ... but I actually liked that short film "qua" at the beginning! I thought her running away from herself, and her realization of how she was so frightened by herself, was powerfully brilliant!!!
This literally happened to me and my Mam at a short film festival. After the final film there was an awkward atmosphere then a guy with a camera blocked the exit and we were in there for another hour with a few others trying to think of questions to ask everyone at the front. Oh my days
Yo, this reminds me of a time I showed up for this real estate recruitment type event that provided information for individuals looking to get started in real estate. Turns out, I was the only one who showed up. Lol, so the entire presentation was for me alone, and I felt the pressure of having to ask questions when really I had none. This was pretty relatable!
“the British office” joke, in case it went over anyone’s head, was a reference to Emily Blunt’s husband John Krasinski who played Jim in the American remake of The Office
This reminds me of when local indie film groups toured high schools around the country. We had to come up with questions on the spot for the directors just like this 🤣🤣 pain and suffering, and guilt because we never wanted the directors to feel bad
Had a similar experience. Ages ago we went to an improv in Hollywood and there was me my friend and girlfriend and we were the entire audience. Comedy doesn't work as well that way. We literally had the first comedian sit at our table to do his bit. Unfortunately 3 comedians in we got tired of them asking what each of us did for a living. We started to walk out on the next commedian and she begged us to stay.
Venessa Bayer is so good at playing regular people stuck in weird situations
When she was putting on her coat, hilarious.
BEST COMMENT ITS MADE MY LIFE
SOOOO TRUEEEE
Kasino80 please tellme, who is read head actress? Saw her on SNL but forgot where!!!
Isabelleee no i mean redhead lady who was in the filmmakers group on 2:45 not in the auditory. I know Bayer
I’m actually impressed by the fact that Venessa can come up with so many questions for this short film
Yeah, but what was that about the 3s in the woods? Did she confuse qua with some other movie?
@@CigarDoug She confused it with "Tre".
This is what the High School Theatre Showcase kids grew up to be
Yes Excatly! Although somehow they now convinced Keenan to be a part of it.
Nah that's just european cinema; more precisely french.
YES , and still vibrant & gettin paid .
"Wowwww""
i just watched it!
Vanessa is always silently brilliant in her sketches. She definitely deserves more props. Like the female version of Kenan. ALWAYS solid.
I was super happy to see her in Brooklyn 99. Sad it was such a short time though.
@@AlanTuringWannabe I'm sure she'll get work one way or another. Maybe voice acting at the least, not that voice acting is unimportant or anything
Lies again? Come Singapore Special Moment
Yeah they should have kept her on as long as Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong
but why did you bring up Kenan like can't you complement a women without bringing a man "version" up ?
I love that Emily Blunt takes the time out of her busy schedule to not only star in a short film, but also to answer the questions of a reluctant audience member.
Emily Blunt also taking the time out of her busy schedule to laugh at comments about her answering question from a reluctant audience member about a short film she stared in.
What can't she do
so this was basically a whole sketch written around how can we plug her movie?
I graduated with a film studies degree and that was seriously laser sharp. Student films are truly 95% garbagio
Totally agree!
Well I mean... they’re student films
heh what's wrong with experimental art films about a mime using soviet montage, :)
Haha. Garbagio
@@Slesaint17 my senior year of high school I had to do a film with someone who wanted a really artsy film that had no purpose and no one understood. I wanted to do a funny ghost film that everybody laughed at.
When she was the only one in the audience I was dead😂😂
You have to go to one of these film festivals in AA!
koolaid awesome i
Lol u saw that too? 😂
I wasn’t dead but yh it was funny
damn bro rest in peace
The twist that Emily Blunt plays Emily Blunt in this sketch is kind of brilliant. lol

Yeah, watching the clip first really spoils it for the comments. Oh, and Hamlet dies
As long as you don't tell me Rosebud was a sled.
When you realize her line in the movie was: It's me! 😂

lol jk I'm bored asf.
That explains everything.
OK, now makes sense for me
Wolf Man Lyken great theory 👍
Wow this was such an intellectual view of the film!
Wolf Man Lyken Okay but that's actually pretty good
I'm pretty sure Kyle and Beck wrote this. They are incredible at capturing the real-life cringe of the amateur art world. It's equally hilarious and uncomfortable to watch.
I feel like this sketch was definitely inspired by real life experiences
As somebody studying to be a film maker, this skit is absolutely hilarious. It's actually really accurate to real life. 😂
lol I hear you, I've attended a film course in college and this reminds me of real art films X'D
And yet you hvnt found a btr major. Something still went over your head.....
That awkward moment when you insult film students but they still spell better than you.
C Conroy really dude? And what would be a “btr[sic] major” in your eyes?

Haha! So awkward.

Painfully accurate here.

Very accurate!
Moi aussi
Ive been to Ann Arbor, and I believe it.

I thought it was funny. not every skit is a gut buster. this was chuckle funny, and chuckling makes me feel good; )
I don't really find any of SNL's stuff 'funny'. It's usually entertaining but in my opinion it's way too reserved to be funny.
Fucking pusscake.
"gut buster"

I died at "What threes? I don't know what you're talking about"
I feel like Kennan should’ve been in the audience with her. These are the theater kids that grew up.
Having had a film at a festival with one person in the audience, this both hurt me deeply and made me laugh hysterically
What’s worse is that it might of been packed if the seats were available making your story far more tragic.
Emily Blunt looks like Sarah Paulson's younger sister.
Alejandro Islas Omg i was like is that Sarah Paulson?? Theyre twins!
I hate sarah Paulson, such an ugly hag.
JoeyTheNotSee You hate her because you don't think she's attractive?
I was thinking the SAME thing!

My favorite parts were when they passed the mics around. They got that down pat!
I was in that short film once. Literally almost shot for shot. Minus the 3s.
+James Peters the threes in the forest she's running in
+ alapina halera There aren't any threes though
Why do people keep mentioning 3s? I still don't see them
LOL!!!!!!!!1 Literally.
Quick Edit Hahaha you’re trolling right?
The writing in this sketch is simple, solid and genuinely funny - loving these new snl clips
2:44 Anyone else notice that blonde dude over doing it?
Falo Lol not until I read this. That's annoying
OMG yes that is so cringey
Aww man. He's likely to read this so I'll throw in something nice too. His hair is beautiful and he's a handsome chap.
I think it was intentional, to go with the cheesy nature of short films.
I did but I forgive him because, GOD is he GORGEOUS...

I'm going to be Blunt about it: Emily is a very attractive person.
so brave
Yes
really
Tru dat
Jim Halpert is a very lucky man.
I don't know about anyone else, but I find this freaking hilarious. I did not just chuckle, I screamed.
I love Charlie Kaufman and Richard Linklater.
But what about Richard Linklater and Charlie Kaufman?
I prefer Richard Kaufman and Charlie Linklater, they're the original Charlie Kaufman and Richard Linklater imo 😛
Okay this was actually smart and funny. Way too accurate

This sketch is a diamond in the rough.
This is true though, it takes so many people just to film stuff. This just exaggerates it.
I think it's more about how pretentious these artsy film-makers can be, and how random and arbitrary some of their artistic choices sometimes are.
assmane999 You think this is pretentious and artsy? What kind of "artist" sites Richard Linklater and Charlie Kauffman?

Tate - what are you doing with your life now?
@@cconroy1677 What's your major? Chemistry? Economics?
As a former film student, I can attest to the complete accuracy of this skit😂😂😂
I've seen it in local theatre too. The audience is the writer-director enjoying the show.
Vanessa Bayer is awesome and her multi faceted comedy is hilarious!
In real life;
it is so funny how these question and answer sessions are set up as if these individuals act as if their short movie was the cinematic masterpiece that every human being should watch before they die.
I have actually sat in on a few question and answer sessions and it was hilarious how melodramatic these individuals were.
Vanessa's facial expressions are hilarious.
I love that basically the whole cast got in on this one. They should do that more often.
Emily's smile at 3:01 is just the BEST. THING. EVER.
I was a projectionist for years for tons of film festivals and I feel like this sketch was made for me. So so so accurate it’s like a Nam flashback
I loved Emily’s smile after one of the cast members mentioned ‘The Office’
This is one of those "it's so true it's funny" bits. A little long, but painfully accurate.
How many people went back in video to see number 3's on the trees? :D
Still not seeing them.
i didn't even notice them at first
I saw them the first time.
Why do people keep mentioning 3s? I don't see them
Quick Edit when she is running in jungle، look at te trees. there are lots of boards on each trees with big 3 on te board
I love how she is already seated before the next question.
This is just the class during discussion time.

what's with SNL's crazy uploading schedule all of a sudden?
Chioma Ejimofo they are re uploading old sketches to fill in the gap for the new season.
Loose Screw Productions Ooh I see, thanks!
THEY GETTIN PAID BOYEE
nbc is hopping on that google ad sense money boi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chioma Ejimofo The directer died so they're uploading his pieces in his honor
How have I not seen this skit before. I am crying 😂 this is so accurate.
I've attended this screening countless times in my life! THIS IS SO REAL!!!!!!
I was just waiting for someone to Shout “QUA” at the end of the film
I actually enjoyed this skit
That is the most elaborate her subtle skit I’ve ever seen. I love it so much. Whoever created it is great at what they do.
hahahaahah vanessa just kills it
I just came from a friend's thesis and it was just like this!! I couldn't stop thinking about this sketch the 2 hours I was there!
Honestly, this was one of the only good skits I've watched in a while😅 I actually enjoyed it

It was a satirical short film, but Emily Blunt had my absolute attention. She's that good.
The french subtitles are such a great detail! 😂
4:25 me when people ask what I'm doing with my life.
If you go to film festivals, you get this skit..
tackyman2011 Along with other people who, y’know, possess a brain..
laughed so hard at this 3:45
I literally spit out the coffee on the computer
Vanessa Bayer is the best! She is jumping in for everyone
The way she said "Damn it!" 😂😂😂
“the British office” joke, in case it went over anyone’s head, was a reference to Emily Blunt’s husband John Krasinski who played Jim in the American remake of The Office
Thank you
The American remake of the Office? Like the 3s in the woods, I have no idea what you are talking about.
It's a send-up of the narcissistic "Look at ME!" thread that runs through most art.
3:28 that moment when you realise that the guy next to Emily Blunt had a mic all along.
“We have time for 10 to 15 more questions.” Sound a lot like sitting through presentations at work. 😂
Qua should be nominated for Best Picture
Needed more ukulele and glockenspiel music in the film for it to truly capture that short film feel.
noisyturtle really? i got more of a kazoo type of feel
Don’t forget toy piano
And more cowbell.
This is my favourite sketch of all time
The one time Ann Arbor gets mentioned in media and it's about short films. Somehow, I'm not surprised.
This is a brilliantly written sketch. About time SNL started crediting their writers on their TH-cam videos.
it reminded me of school group projects when only one person did the job and everyone got credit for it!
TH-cam is full of films like this, most of them heavily awarded.
I work a local film festival every year, and I have to say this is spot on.
This is too relatable. I volunteer at a film festival series in Atlanta and I encounter these awkwardly comedic moments all the time. 🤣🤣
Fun fact:
"Qua" (or Qui) is the italian word for "here"
I give props to the costume makers. They'd all fit right in in Ann Arbor
:34 “Oopsy doopsy, I muffed it up again!!”
The accuracy for this is spectacular, considering I've literally never been to a short film fest, but I KNOW that's what it's like
The 3’s were there as a clue left in by the director that this is actually the trilogy.
« Qua » which sounds like « quoi » in French which means « what »
Now this was cleverly written. Keep it up!
This reminds me of when local indie film groups toured high schools around the country. We had to come up with questions on the spot for the directors just like this 🤣🤣 pain and suffering, and guilt because we never wanted the directors to feel bad
Me in class everyday. me being the one what has to ask the questions
I was impressed at how real this is, but then I realized SNL casts and writer are those film/theatre kids so yea.
Every college short film project ever. I speak from experience 😂
Vanessa is killing it 😂😂❤
I love how the plot twist is its actually Emily Blunt
As someone who's currently in film school, this is wayyyy too familiar.... 😨
When she said 'dammit' lol I laugh so hard
I. just. love. Emily. Blunt.
Omg this sketch was so funny😂😂😂
This was so wholesome and cute 😂
Had a similar experience. Ages ago we went to an improv in Hollywood and there was me my friend and girlfriend and we were the entire audience. Comedy doesn't work as well that way. We literally had the first comedian sit at our table to do his bit. Unfortunately 3 comedians in we got tired of them asking what each of us did for a living. We started to walk out on the next commedian and she begged us to stay.
The French subtitles for “It’s me” took this over the top
When Vanessa was the only audience.... I died 😂😂😂😂😂
And I feel like it was the Shortest film🤣
That plug at the end just made the whole entire sketch
