Depending who you ask, it may be the best sketchSNLhas ever done.

At the very least, its one of the best of the year.

So lets let him speak for himself: ImDavid Pumpkins… Yeah, and David Pumpkins is…?

And the skeletons are…?

Farewell, Mr. Bunting

This riff offDead Poets Societyhad notes of classicSNL.

Its perfect comedic timing.

Kids Choice Awards

Ariana Grande continues to impress.

Equally enjoyable is watching the cast venture to keep a straight face inbehind-the-scenes takes.

But she worked hard for her money.

And even though the election is over, something tells us this impression will continue well into 2017.

That said, the impersonation is on par with Davids Sanders and even Tina Fey channeling Sarah Palin.

Its the true gift that keeps on giving this season.

That, too, was drawn out as McKinnon nearly cracked as Melisandre.

The actor may be young, but he knows how to deliver.

Test Screening

Theres nothing particularly nuanced or funny about the concept of the sketch.

Theres no surprise twist, theres no celebrity cameo.

It thrives on Melissa McCarthy being Melissa McCarthy, which is why it works so well.

Repeat viewings are a must.
