🎭 Sketch Discussion If I could pick a split second that is the funniest thing I've ever seen on SNL, it would be Nate's odd vocal sound after Kenan's question in the second GW's Dream bit.

I don't even know what the sound actually is, but it is beyond genius. I haven't seem comments about it, but I've never heard anything so fast, subtle and funny. Just wanted to see if others noticed this.

It’s actually something I’ve seen him do live during standup and also on _The Greatest Average American_. Not sure if it was just a Nate-ism or something that Streeter and Mikey asked him to do, but I agree it’s genius.

That's really interesting. What was the context? It's such a funny sound, like clearing his throat, but not exactly, partly an "ahem", but not that, either. I swear this the single greatest tiny moment I've ever seen.

The trombone player breaking ever so slightly, mid-blow, during one of the Debbie Downer sketches.
