Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett are the funniest, smartest comedians to be on Saturday Night Live in a long time. (At least, that's my humble and accurate opinion.) They both have a great ear for the ridiculous and a talent for satire that's not cruel. Here are some examples of their work. 

Reality House

We've come to take it for granted, but, as Kyle and Beck's deadpan voice-overs and bogus one-on-ones with the camera make clear in this sketch, reality television is a ridiculous, boring genre. (I love the furniture-throwing at the end.)[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEiMaqQL4I[/embed]

Cool (with Ryan Gosling)

I think my favorite part of this satire of Friday evening 90's network sitcoms?is Kyle Mooney's flat "Doug?" voice and the laughtrack. (Ryan Gosling is a great 3rd man.)[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6I9u3wjn-A[/embed]

March Madness (Ariana Grande)

This is one of those completely silly skits that just works because of the earnest stupidity of Kyle and Beck. My 6 year-old thinks it's hilarious, and I agree. (It doesn't hurt that Ariana Grande is one of those celebrity guests who knows how to play the straight man.) My son's?favorite line: "And we'll bring the FROGS!" My favorite line: "We'll probably just bring 'em."[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1xYZp2GXo[/embed]

Mr. Riot Films

Here's my question: is the man with the hardhat a plant, or did they actually ambush him?[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XIQBeqL7kM[/embed]

Kyle vs. Kanye

I think the self-involved and self important emotional tone is just?perfect.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgs81IOU0m4[/embed]

Comedy Club

The eyeroll and then the teary-eyes--it's so painful and so funny.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWMlr11pJow[/embed]
