SNL on Saturday took aim at Pop The Balloon Or Find Love, the popular dating show format from You Tube and TikTok that’s spawned memes and gone viral with love connections gone wrong.
For the uninitiated, the format features a line of singles holding a balloon they pop if they don’t like the eligible bachelor. In the SNL version, Ego Nwodim plays the host while “eight beautiful single ladies” hold balloons, waiting to find their match.
First up is a single guy named Phil (Andrew Dismukes), who can barely list his hobbies before everyone pops their balloons.
Next single is Devon (Devon Walker), who’s dressed in a pair of mustard sweats and looking for someone who’s quiet and loyal “because I’m not.” No one touches their balloons.
J’Moan (Kenan Thompson), however, is immediately panned.
The women start to squirm when Silky Johnson (Dave Chappelle) comes out in a mink coat holding a golden goblet. “I’m a purveyor of precious goods and services, i.e. bitches,” he says.
Silky then sizes up the stable of women, which includes a guest appearance by the night’s musical guest GloRilla.
