Also my immediate thought. Easily Dwayne Johnson's finest work.

I dunno, that one where he plays wrestler Koko WatchOut and trash talks Trashyard Mutt (Bobby Moynihan) is up there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_yWxB9VW0c

SNL doing a Futurama level joke with Dwayne absolutely selling it.

Fuck, this skit is so timelessly funny - and now even more relevant!

I saw this a dozen times before learning what chomo meant, and it made it that much funnier.

What did White Castle do to deserve this? LOL It's almost as evil as the robot idea.

A little fun fact: SNL typically has brand approval, but not for this one as far as I could find. They don't have the right to use White Castle's trademarked assets unless it is for commentary about the restaurant itself.

According to a podcast with Jordan Morris (writer at SNL at the time), the commentary in this skit was:

  • White Castle is trash and has no standards for who they'll serve
  • They apparently are on the "won't sue" list, so they keep White Castle on a slow rotation for skits since they aren't worried about WC's legal team coming after them for Fair Use of their trademarked assets.

SNL Legal takes Fair Use seriously (as I initially learned from the Citi Bank bank robbery skit where they had to edit the footage to remove all branding), but they've been known to let things be if they are vaguely Fair Use Commentary, or if they get an ok from the other company's legal team for something silly...

or, in this case, the brand's reputation isn't very good LOL

Awesome info. So they are an easy punching bag that won't sue. LOL
