"Meryl Streep on Ice!"



A delicious spoof of Meryl's 'who me?' tossed off perfection. Even the sweater made me giggle. Plus, it's blissfully short as all such jokes should be. Well done SNL. (But how did they keep it so brief? They usually overkill their good jokes.)

"The bitch can skate."

Pretty good! I guess it's about her humbleness and the notion that "there is nothing Meryl Streep can't do"

NATHANIEL R said...

Erik -- that's the best part. he's so verklempt.

Loved Jason Sudeikis choking up about it. Great little sketch that came out of nowhere and ended up working brilliantly.

Speaking of Meryl Streep have you ever seen her doppelganger Kim Myers?

Meryl would probably win an art award if she took up making statues out of her phlegm.

"Oh, it's nothing: I just hack it up and make art with it!"

NATHANIEL R said...

Ani Di -- i saw that earlier today. love it. wish i'd thought of it.

Liz said...

if only kids actually liked Meryl that much.

Derreck said...

honestly, i thought of Nat the entire time of the sketch. I loved it and how semi-ridiculous it was. Who would be shocked if Meryl just jumped on the ice and started spinning and did a figure eight?

NATHANIEL R said...

derreck -- no one which is why the joke is *so* funny.

Liz -- but isn't that the big groupthink thing about her: that all generations are obsessed?

I found the skit quite amusing and for SNL rather brief, low key, and somewhat ambiguous. I do not know if it has been mentioned but the "real" Meryl Streep is in a very funny, silly series of episodes on Lisa Kudrow's "Web Therapy" series online.

Rose said...

She does do a great Meryl. "Choreography by Nancy Meyers." Lolz.
