Pedro Pascal gets the giggles on a fun, breezy Saturday Night Live. Read DennisPerkins5's review:
), complete with the bewildered fake reviews gags, but this is funny stuff on its own. As per the gritty reboot playbook, Toad and Yoshi are now tortured bisexuals, Mario wolfs down mushrooms to dull the pain , and Toad makes the ultimate sacrifice for Mario and Chloe Fineman’s princess on the debris-strewn rainbow road in full, hands off the wheelfatalism.
The other filmed piece gets American gluttony warmed up for the Super Bowl, with a wing delivery restaurant’s takeout specials escalating until there’s a cement truck pouring ranch dressing through the windows, and hosts Pascal and Kenan cower together against the onslaught of unnecessarily abundant chicken parts.
The first of the two restaurant sketches sees Pascal’s waiter and the rest of the Italian eatery staff fawning incessantly over four of the five women seated at one table, Pascal singling out Sarah Sherman’s confused diner as, variously, the smart and/or funny one of the group. Pascal is delightfully chipper as he swoons over four-fifths of his guests, leaving the increasingly irritated Sherman stewing at the assumption that she’s the lone writer in a group of supermodels.
Putting your male host in a dress doesn’t always signal original comedy, and the visit to mom’s house certainly doesn’t break any new ground as Marcello Hernandez brings his WASP-y girlfriend Chloe Fineman home to meet his protective, judgmental mom. But dammit if Pascal doesn’t lift this one higher than I thought it would go, his commitment as the loving but deeply skeptical mother emerging with such assured specificity that I was, once again, won over.
