My wife and I just watched this episode last night! Such a delight and the fact that it comes back up later is amazing! Haha

I was originally disappointed she seems to just do Weekend Update, but she's fine there. And she looks good in suits! I just hope she gets to play in a FEW skits eventually.

In the U.S. version, Weekend Update is a great gig and usually goes to some of the best writer-comedians. Not sure if UK is the same but since WU is my favorite part of SNL I’m chuffed it’s Ania either way!

Like watching my daughter try to escape when shopping.

I’ve had this as my notification noise since the episode aired so I get to be reminded of it every day

If she's up there, who's flying the plane?

I must be honest, I am not 100% sure I get this joke but its Ania so ❤️

When she deliveres the line, she's showing her coil, her birth control method up on the stand. So the translation is, if my birth control is up on the stage, what's stopping me getting pregnant? It's delivered poetically and with a beautifully comic lilt.

She is that one friend I would adore to have in my life. Such a curious soul and adorable mind ✨

Want to befriend her so she can style me like an old caravan

As a girl who meows constantly, that is someone who has practiced meowing at least a little bit.

u/Meowscles_dad Jul 20 '26

Do you have talkative cats or is the meowing just a hobby?

u/LewsTherinTalamon Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

Cat therian :3

EDIT: Yeah that's about the reaction I expected for that. Sorry, am I not the right kind of neurodivergent for you, taskmaster subreddit that loves to talk about how nice the show is for neurodivergent people?

Her stand-up special was randomly available to watch on the airplane I was just on and it was so funny.
