This is 500% historically accurate
Quit exaggerating. I would say it's only about 499% historically accurate.
Lunarsight 999% is what you meant
100% accuRAT
Really? Surely you jest.
Except for the white queen
"bury my organs in lots of little jars because i am DEAD" omg hahaha
Form of Therapy pd, I’m seeing you in the comment section legit everywhere
Did not expect to see you here, but yes xD
Form of Therapy when I read this it just came on
Oh hey it’s from of therapy
Lol
“Becky’s whole thing is like she’s a total nightmare or whatever”
Gotta admit Kate was the best part of this. Seemingly knew well the character she was playing.
I know a lot of Becky's
😂
I’m a Becky then I guess
I'm suprised you got "a total nightmare or whatever" out of "Becky's whole thing is like she's a nightmare."
I wanna be like: "YASSS QUEEN"
But now I'm like "MEH QUEEN"
they should have done katy perry!
Are you a cat because I WORSHIP YOU
I don't understand what she meant by that
@@arcanesereinrides In Ancient Egypt, cats were seen as sacred beings or gods. Everytime a person saw one they had to bow down to it or something like that.
A calf, as in the golden calf or false idol the people were worshipping. It is mentioned in the book of exodus.
@@ariannasalcedo75 what? No this is about cats, who were worshipped in Ancient Egypt. The book of exodus wasn't even a thing back then, this is before christianity.
i understood it here as a joke that cats can be mean and we still worship them, but the egyptian thing makes sense i guess
Coming up next, Keeping Up with The Mesopotamians
You guys it’s been a really busy week with executions
Did u know there is a show called keeping up with the kattashians
Not on the history channel
NICE!!!
LMAOO COMMENT OF THE YEAR
"Delete that, delete that"
**drops jar**
This picture has been deleted. Would you like to make a new one?
"These are my assistants, Xerxes and Becky."
“What’s up you duddy horses.”
@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 ...or "Horuses"? ;) Either way, love this skit.
DIRECTIONER!!!!
@@sulochanaekka7401 :)))
Okay not gonna lie, this hairstyle on awkwafina is cute and she should actually do it
I was thinking the same thing!
Funny enough this is the only time I've ever found her attractive
Right??
They should definitely do this type of “historical” sketches more often!
1k likes and no comments? Let me fix rhar
"becky's whole thing is she is a nightmare"
For once I read it as she said it😂
Cleopatra’s personality changed like every five seconds.
She was becoming a kardashian that was the joke
Dudebro Caesar: "It looks good, I guess."
Kardashian Cleopatra: "Shut up, you spoil me."
This skit just made is realize I've had way too little historical comedy in my life.
Ever seen Horrible Histories?
Horrible histories and black adder youre gonna love those
Drunken History, too.
”Bury my organs in lots of little jars because I'm dead” 😂💀🏺
2:16
That Euripides joke went by so quick it took me a second to register it. So much clever writing in this skit!
Good writing ish
But terrible timing
And her voice sounds shot
TuttiTunes really?
Where?
I missed it
She’s a hot Mesopotamia
Timing timing timing
That “world war 2 lost in New York” is a must watch. Truss me
So, you'd like for us to turn you into a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure?
The traps were funnier but it doesn't have the iconic and nostalgic feel of the original. That's why it doesn't get as many reruns
jubbles23 it was a rookie mistake dude, no need to tie them up and spit roast them lol
Don't tell me how to live my life. I'll correct a person's grammar if I feel like it.
T U Is that the one with a guest appearance by Donald Trump?
still more historically accurate than netflix's new documentary
"KEEP MY WIFE DOCUMENTARY OUT YOUR MOUTH!"
@@AoshiShinomori82 haha, hey Tim Robinson's show's 3rd season is out today, it's hilarious.
Cleopatra was Greek and not black.This is more similar to the real Cleopatra, though she was very ugly and looked like a man. Her image is in a Roman Empire coin.
She wasn't white, whites always trying to gatekeep historical figures even evil queens. It's pathetic cause most of your ancestors are maniacs so you steal others's ancestors
I love how Caesar is a dude-bro
He should be Mark Antony, that was the jock of two Triumvirates.
@@bencebotye3904 Of the two, Caesar would be more like the dude-bro douche who works on Wall Street, but Marc Antony would be more like the tough "not for nothin'" guy from New Jersey.
Guy who just bought a chariot
@@theevilascotcompany9255 oh my God, that was so spot on, it was scary, I need to lay down for 45 minutes
Honestly it shouldve been Antony. It would fit him better. Caesar was very concerned about his appearance and was basically a fashion icon
“You spilled 1:02 LIPSTICK! In my Valentino white bag!?”
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT
HAHAHA
I liked the skit, but this comment had me laughing way more
Awkwafina reminds me of nichols from oitnb the wat she talks
World war 2, lost in new york
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lost in New York?! THE STREETS ARE NUMBERED
Joe pesci and Daniel stern as Nazi spies who get into shenanigans
The Manhattan project!
@@equusquaggaquagga536 instead of a lady covered in pigeons giving advice, it's Hitler
I would like to thank the person who posts these right after the show
Michelle M no problem, favorite show.
@C caymer STFU she's awesome!!!
shes the host....
And it hasn't even officially aired on the West Coast as I write this. It is like going back to the future or something.
Praise the intern uploader.
As a history teacher, I'll be sure to update my lesson plans this week. Thank you SNL! 😁
Show them this: th-cam.com/video/VOP9OQTuTZg/w-d-xo.html
😂 do it. It goes with the standard perfectly.
@@Domeng09 I can just imagine the total look of confusion if I played it off without smiling and looking totally serious
monicapyle cleapatra was 13
No offense....but history books need to be Re-written....overall. Much of it is lies and garbage.
"How do feel about extensions?" "Oh, not for me!" "Good because it's a full wig!" 😂😂😂😂
"this is everyday! This is errands this is brunch.. this is executions!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why does Kenan look lit tho 😂
The weeknd long lost cousin
@@nelsongonzalez8754 😁😁😁
Well, Everytime someone says something cringey like "lit" he has a small stroke.
NAw that hair slappin’
Nelly Beans YOU SOUND LIKE A BORED SOCCER MOM WHO HAD TWO EXTRA GLASSES OF WINE AND THOUGHT SHE COULD CLAP BACK
Cleopatra lived closer to the iPhone than to the building of the Pyramids!!
There are other pyramids other than the famous Giza ones, but I get what you're saying.
OMG!!! Really!?!? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /s
@@bmhigginbotham I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's absolutely true, Cleopatra's rule is closer in time to us, than it was to the building of the pyramids. I heard that fact a couple of years ago, and it blew me away.
@@mariannecontrino6297 He's being a rude sarcastic asshole. He wrote /s, meaning he was making fun of Tess...even though most people wouldn't know.
Same goes for Caesar and the Eruption of Pompeii. I like my late BCEs - early ADs because it really kinda shows us that even during biblical times .....we as humans haven't really changed a bit. Because they still had everything we have besides all the digital and medical luxuries. But most conversations were the same as today.
And ironically we are in the Ides of March coming into Easter Sunday in April.
I knew I after she said "delete that" that he would obvious drop the vase, but the delivery of it got me, I was laughing well into their next lines 🤣🤣🤣
As a classical historian, I can confirm that everything in this skit was 💯 accurate
Are you kidding, right?
I am not attaching you but nope not accurate at all. Her look okay, but they mixed ancient Egyptians and the Ptolemy era and she is Cleopatra VI Who lived in Alexandria and hanging on the wall Ahmus I from 18th dynasty + adding the pun of the canopic jars which is not from that dynasty and the tombs as parts of the set which is a sacred thing hidden?
omfg it was a joke 😭
@@Un1corn23 you seem like the type of person that is the reason drive thru coffee cups say CAUTION - HOT CONTENTS. Big brain energy
@@Un1corn23 But historically pyramid construction was an issue during Cleopatra's time.
@@kevinbergin9971 May you please enlight me who?
“Becky’s whole thing is like she’s a total nightmare or whatever” MOST RELATABLE LINE IN SNL HISTORY
Becky's whole thing is she is like a nightmare
:''') LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Bekhmet?
I like how elegantly Cecily is sitting in the beginning. Truly a queen!
Delete that 😂😂😂

Z z ppl l
(Imitating Fouad From Family Guy) Ohoho! Its Funny Because iPhones Weren’t Invented Yet So He Smashed The Vase Onto The Floor!
Oh man she went from authoritarian queen to Egyptian valley girl in minutes. This, my friends, is the power of flattering
'OH, and just so you know, I work with her, not for her' 😂😂😂😂😂
Hopefully reservations for Terrazano's 😂 3:16
Or coffee at dominicos
Nah: there's a great little place next to the Pharos: Ctesibios does an epic steamed baby crocodile with lotus greens.
Nice 😉
@R B 'we got rezzies' is just 'we have reservations'
This is pretty good writing with the puns and all
Good writing. It’s a shame Awkwafina’s acting doesn’t do it justice. It felt unrehearsed.
Christopher Uihlein I disagree
@@bennguyen2974 do you know what acting is supposed to look(feel) like?
HeyZeus Belden fam this was a year ago
@@bennguyen2974 ahhhh back in the day
Awkwafina needs to be part of the SNL cast
Honestly she really should. They need Asian representation, and she is a NATURAL. You are brilliant for his idea. #AwkwafinaforSNL
The representation for Asian Americans on SNL is a topic up for debate, but here, Awkwafina looks comfortable with acting and seems to genuinely fit in with the cast members.
No thanks, she can't remember a damn line. We don't need every single ethnicity on there. How about more cambodians? More guatemalans? More Somalians? No thanks!
@Lasna34 no idiot, they just haven't found the right comedian. That's not racism.
Lasna34-Never say never!
The Egyptian puns were so funny! Awkwafina was a terrific SNL host, she slots right in with the cast 😂😂😂
Terrific? She spent 3 minutes reading
This is everyday look, “errands, brunch, execution.” 😂
Props to the writer who saved their Ancient Egypt jokes for years until they got to do this sketch.
I’m digging the obscure historical references perfectly combined with modern slang lol, “send me to the vomitorium because I’m gagging.”
Shout out to the design team, the sets and costumes look amazing! Hard to believe SNL gets put together in just a week!
"a hot messopotamia"
*dies of laughter*
Love that Alex Moffat mixed some "guy who just bought a boat" into his Ceaser role. Now he's "Emporer who just bought a boat".
1:30 DELETE THAT... DELETE THAT!!! ;)
Truth lol
The SuperHeart . Org Foundation * yeets pot*
I love how you can always hear two waves of laughter. One from people who got the joke right away, another from those who didn't catch the meaning quickly.
The most accurate part of this sketch is how they portrayed Cesar as a total Chad.
“OH that me omg delete that oh delete that”
*Drops vase*
"Wassup you dirty horuses!" hahahahaha dead
1:44 are you cat? cause i worship you!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
“Are you a cat because I worship you”
“World War II: Lost in New York” killed me.
BVG OPERΛTOR there were actually events that took place in New York during WW2. Most famously operation drumbeat where the Uboat 123 and 4 others attacked random East coast harbors. 123 sunk 10 cargo ships and its captain hardegen lived to be 103
@@enderpup9289 They were spoofing "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York..."
BVG OPERΛTOR I know but I wanna to spread some facts
@@BugOperator oooo haha
Also Operation Underworld, where the feds teamed up with the Mafia to catch Nazi spies sneaking into the country. The Mafia controlled the ports on the eastern seaboard so the govt asked them to help
More historically accurate than the Netflix documentary.
No, Cleopatra's Greek, not white. Stick to your own maniac ancestors and leave Egyptian's history
@@lethamash7784 Macedonians were white.
"Becky's whole thing, is like... She's a nightmare" 😄!
Great line and so well delivered
You can already see why she will start cheating with Mark Antony.
Cleopatra didn't cheat with Mark Antony. They hooked up after Caesar got killed.
Cheating on dead husband is not exactly... Cheating. Unless you're mormon.
@@chrissiek8706 plenty of mormons get remarried
wasn't that J'Lo?
@@chrissiek8706 They were never married. In fact, Caesar had a wife in Rome.
"Take me to a vomitorium because im gAgging"
SSKSHKSHSAKDSH OH MY GOD
"I AM OBSOOSED ABSOLUTELY PRRFOOCION"
lmao i cant😭✋
More historically accurate than Netflix's Cleopatra
“Wait, IT ME?”
:o 👌
"We fight but the sex is in-*sane*" Well he is Italian.
No he's Roman...
@@xiii000 the country of Italy didn't exist yet
@@charlestaylor5741 it did, actually, but Rome ruled it. Italians had this civil war thing and then they were given Roman citizenship. So technically the country did exist.
I thought the wild sex thing was more a french thing rather than italian
Before the 1st century BC you can say there was no such thing as a country called Italy, just the Italian peninsula dominated by the Roman Republic and city-state with its allies. That all changed after the Social War of 91-88 BC, in which Rome's allies and even former enemies in Italy were granted citizenship, in a new governable region of Italia. Roman citizenship was also gradually bestowed on others outside Italy.
That’s completely unrealistic. The History channel would never have something like that on unless it had aliens or they found that stuff in a pawnshop.
That's the point??
I miss when the History Channel had actual history on it.
Or Hitler
@@1theatrechick okay lmaoo this is snl its supposed to be funny not realistic.
Grant Lauzon are you dumb...
This has more accurate portryal of Cleopatra than the new Netflix Documentary.
Came back here after Netflix 's documentary to make sure that Cleopatra wasn't swapped 😅😅
“I love the look you got in here”
*”I’m lying”*
Not gonna lie if this was a show, I would watch every single episode!!!
The $ex is inSane!
lol I doubt that
So many epic puns I can’t handle it, this was awesome
Yes! This is by far one of the best SNL sketches of the post Kristen Wiig era, because they were able to keep jokes coming in dialogue, and didn't just have the buildup to a punchline and then end the sketch.
When the embalmers in Ancient Egypt mummified someone, they took the phrases "Pick your brain" and "Paying out the nose" to a whole new level!
3:32 I forgot about it for years, but then I remembered that SNL, the giant international hit TV show, used the the Papyrus font as the logo for this Cleopatra skit.
That is not papyrus
@@yoyok__ I know - Maybe that was the starting point but they clearly modified this. But whatever they did, IT WASN'T ENOUGH!
@@fling-asia papyrus isn't even that bad. Avatar used it on their logo.
This should be on the history channel
hot mesopotamia
Up next: The Real Housewives of Ancient Athens
"And just so you know, I work with her, not for her"...
More accurate than Netflix for sure
Wait if it’s the history channel, where were all the aliens?
Aliens are on Animal Planet, now. Animals went to MTV & music videos went back to the '80s.
Inside the pyramids. Duh!
@Darth Revan In the giant, floating Zardoz head! DUH!
we need more Hidden Tales of Egypt on SNL
‘Bury my organs in lots of little jars because I am dead’ 😂😂😂
Now seeing the behind the scenes to the makeup, I appreciate this scene so much more
Amy Mitman so do i
Same! The press on eyeshadow was genius
Xerxes and Becky 😂
Mark Anthony swipes right.
Feynman!
Lololol
Becky looks like Edna Mode
Cecily looks good as Cleopatra xD
she looks like Ovaltine
Wow. This is literally the first time I've seen an Asian person on SNL!
icytea5 Lucy Liu hosted 18 years ago
She can be a martian, whatever. Shes just not doing it for me. Maybe she'll grow on me.
icytea5 I doubt it, unless this is the first time you've watched SNL.
Sandra Oh hosted in March of this year.
Awkwafina here hosted last October.
Before that there was Kumail Namjiani, Aziz Ansari and Lucy Liu.
@@CanItAlready over 1k episodes, 44 years and only 5 asian people? Hows that so hard to believe?
Juan Perez Did I say it was so hard to believe? I'm the one who went back through. My point was that they weren't so far back in the history of the show that they would all have been missed of the OP actually watched the show. Didn't seem that complicated. Smh
1:36 "And now I have become Link, Destroyer of Potteries."
I get it!
Meanwhile I'm sitting here wondering how she keeps knowing what she looks like without a mirror
Exactly
Seems more accurate than the one jada produced 😂
Except Cleopatra was not white
Awkwafina, how did you put that make up on Cecily that fast?
A Redditor who was at the show said that when the camera focused on Awkwafina and Kenan, a stagehand ran in and put a white cloth on Cecily's face somehow applying the makeup.
Could be stick on makeup
It’s explained here: th-cam.com/video/taTE-RqZfT0/w-d-xo.html
Maybe they made another probably pause the video and made multiple clips like in movies
It was a stamp! Who knew right! It's in that behind the scenes makeup department video.
The off screen mua did her eyes in 10 seconds and I'm impressed
yeah how did that happen??
I have a project about Cleopatra due next week so I’m researching
“No! That’s me??? Oh I look horrible! Delete that, oh delete that!” SMASH!!!
I LOST IT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awkwafina is a gem. Love her
She gives me the same vibe as Bowen 😂
I like how there’s no mirror around & cleopatra is all like ‘it me? Wow amazing ‘
“Becky’s whole thing is like she’s a nightmare” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
This sketch turned me into an SNL and Awkwafina fan all in one when I first saw it
I wish this was a regular skit on SNL because I love it.
show this to Netflix :)
This is my favorite SNL skit ever. Forever.
"Are you a cat? Because I worship you!" Honestly, SAME!
"Delete that! Delete that!"
*drops on floor*
*smash*
