The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Benedict Cumberbatch

Share:

Benedict Cumberbatch, the man with the name we love to hate and hate to love, was sorely underused on last night’s SNL. But the English actor, who appears in Marvel’s latest movie as Dr. Strange, broke out his best American accent and wasn’t afraid to get physical with the cast. See how it all went down last night, below.

The Best

“Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump Cold Open”

Hillary is desperate to hear Donald say the “N” word, because emails. We get confirmation that Donald is in bed with everyone. And then, a little levity.

“Benedict Cumberbatch Monologue”

Benedict Cumberbatch gets sexy in song.

“Why is Benedict Cumberbatch Hot?”

Everyone wants to bang Benedict Cumberbatch, and no one can figure out why.

“Surprise Bachelorette”

Benedict Cumberbatch pulls a Weekend at Bernie’s with someone’s grandma.

“Weekend Update”

“I suppose you’re going to write in your favorite candidate: SATAN.”

“Criminal Mastermind”

Like the dad joke, but riddles.

The Worst

“Koohl Toilet”

Benedict Cumberbatch looks cool even while sitting on the toilet. Potty humor this early in the evening is a bad sign.

“Office Hours”

Benedict Cumberbatch wants to do after-office-hours things with clueless Chad. In 2016, “gay stuff” isn’t funny, SNL.

“Gemma and Ricky”

No one plays a better Gemma boyfriend than The Rock. Sorry, BC.

“Meet with Mr. Shaw”

At least it wasn’t the now overplayed baby boss sketch again?
