In a new 'SNL' sketch, Benedict Cumberbatch shows you toilets as you've never seen them before.
This weekend’s Saturday Night Live episode had Power of The Dog actor Benedict Cumberbatch as host and Arcade Fire as musical guests. The episode was filled with memorable instances like Cumberbatch referencing the infamous Oscar slap in his monologue or the opening sketch mocking certain passages of the leaked Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s draft opinion that indicates the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
The skit began with Mikey Day playing a high school teacher giving the most tedious lecture about how to properly sit on the toilet. According to him “there is only one acceptable way to sit on the toilet”. Why it should matter how you sit when going to the restroom when – normally — no one is there to see it is not addressed and is not the point.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This strict teacher character wants his bored students to understand that going to the potty should never be “comfortable or relaxing”. But, this is where Cumberbatch comes in in style to prove that the opposite should be true and that "rules are made to be broken".
“Class dismissed,” Cumberbatch declares, his mission accomplished. Following his lead, the students start ripping the pages out of their books and throwing them in the air as their teacher fails to stop the apparent mutiny.
