10What Up With That?
First Aired October 17, 2009
Diondre Cole (Kenan Thompson) cannot stop singing.
This recurring sketch was always sure to entertain the crowd.
He even goes falsetto in the end.
The guests who come on stage comically strike the wrong tone as well.
There’s a sexy chef, an unimpressive robot, and a carrot singing about the terrible salad bar.
Yet its playfulness and attention to detail make it feel like an homage to both at the same time.
They should try Dave and Busters next time Cumberbatch hosts!
Party on, guys.
The more they sing, the clearer it is that Kelsey (Chloe Fineman) cheated on her groom.
It’s funny how no one is alarmed by this except for the groom (Andrew Dismukes).
When the man finally appears, it’s perfect timing.
They start off with a few nice phrases, but then they start insulting the guy.
First they call him illiterate, which makes him interrupt them.

When they start again, they either find another way to insult him or vocalize a very unwanted situation.
Ana de Armas saying “D-d-d-damn, Spicy, you live like this?”
is hysterical, and the laughs don’t let up from there.

Instead, they’ve become a “viable commercial product.”
Belushi is an exciting frontman, and Aykroyd’s dancing in the background is very entertaining.
Aykroyd plays a mean harmonica, and Belushi’s voice isn’t too shabby either.

Of course Davidson breaks immediately, but it’s much more important that the singers don’t.
In short, “Diner Lobster” is one of the biggest pieces ofSNLculture in the past ten years.
It’s a silly idea, and yet it fits with the Godfather of Soul’s personality so well.

Key to this sketch is the one and onlyEddie Murphy, arguablythe greatestSNLcast member of all time.
So many details are taken from Brown’s live act, and they’re executed to perfection.
How can you not love when Brown asks the band if he should get in the hot tub?

When he finally takes a step into the hot tub, it’s too hot.
He even pretends to leave, with someone else helping him as he walks away from the water.
The crowd went wild for it, almost as if James Brown himself were there.

Honestly, one could watch a full concert of this.
What ties this all together is the album’s highly acclaimed producer: Bruce Dickinson.
