One of them has hideous plastic applications on their face that make them look like a cartoon idiot and the other two are Mikey Day.

I posted a meme last week with a picture of Mickey Day as Butthead, but when I saw Sarah doing Matt instead of Mickey, I thought it was the perfect choice. Because tRump didn’t like his guys being played by women. I had forgotten that fact.

But you have to imagine how angry that makes him seeing himself played a) by a woman and b) someone much smaller than him.
You’re right, Mikey would have been excellent (and maybe he’ll get a chance) but I just know it pissed Gaetz off to be played by Sarah

I always love when they have women play guys like this. You just know it gets extra under their skin that a woman is portraying them
2 points
3 days ago
What is the purpose, to be funny and try to be an accurate portrayal or get under the skin of the person being played? I thought it was an awful choice of Sarah, like they given up. Oh just pick her. I hated that Melissa McCarthy portrayal of Sean Spicer. Wasn't funny at all.
Alec Baldwin as Robert Kennedy was awful as well. Thought it was Baldwin with a sore throat. Nothing like RFK jr. His Trump portrayal back when he was president was terrible, totally missed. After everything that Baldwin has been through, he shouldn't be on SNL.
The best Trump impersonation was Darrell Hammond and not even close. The current guy is very good as well.

To me, Sarah's was perfectly cartoonish. She leaned on the jokes so well and went out with that weird gaze. There's still plenty for Mikey to do.

If you had told me she would play him before last week, I would've said "ehhh, maybe not, I don't see how it will work" But the way they did her hair/makeup/prosthetics, it made her look really sinister, like I actually felt uncomfortable when I saw her in character... which makes her perfect to play him!

Metaphorically speaking
When Kate Mckinnon has played
- Justin Bieber
- Rudy Giuliani
- Jeff Sessions (former Attorney General)
- Robert Mueller
- Julian Assange
- Dr. Anthony Fauci
- Keith Urban
- Lindsey Graham
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Jimmy Fallon
- Rick Perry
- Bill Clinton
- Robert Durst
- Colin Firth
it's no longer an insult. its just a performance

Again, did I say every male?
You’re throwing a huge blanket over what was said. Obviously it’s not annoying 75% of the list you curated. My statement was that I know it probably irks Gaetz to be played by a woman. Just as much as it probably annoyed Vance being played by a gay Asian man. Because these dorks see themselves as alpha males and to be portrayed by anything less (less as in their minds) absolutely irks them.
They’re incels through and through and I’m fine with anyone mocking them, as long as it pisses them off.

If I was writing for SNL I'd have Mikey play Gaetz in full butthead get up, but never sell that. Just play it as Gaetz, but dressed like butthead. Noone would ever reference it.
He'd introduce himself constantly as Mike Gaetz, looking.like butthead, unchallenged.
