Saturday Night Live Recap: When Charli XCX Shows Up, SNL Is Brat
The fashionably bored Brit got big laughs without breaking a sweat.
Brat had instantly identifiable iconography in its color palate, a title concept so strong it bent vernacular to its will, but more importantly, it managed to sustain intense cultural attention for five straight months, an eternity in the TikTok era. Maybe it was the rare absence of Mikey Day, ordinarily a utility player appearing in a ton of sketches, but Hernández seemed omnipresent throughout the night, casually vacillating between center stage and supporting roles, original characters, and celebrity impressions. (Though he nearly breaks when he accidentally says “Gadget.”) Sherman’s character seems exhausted to have to remind her friends, “Yes, directors can be men too.” Someone in the Avatar theme park is apparently passing out crack rocks and calling them “unobtanium.” It’s an intoxicatingly strange brew and a high note to end the episode on.
