John Cena’s Dumb Alabama Football Player Gets The Benefit Of The Doubt On ‘SNL’

John Cena’s stint hosting Saturday Night Live is already off to a rollicking start. Hitting the ground running with his wrestling-based monologue, he then jumped into a Karate Kid parody and played the hunky host of a hunk-based dating show. Things never strayed too far from sports for the first half of the episode, though, as Cena next played a dumb-as-a-post Alabama Crimson Tide football player trying to pass his last course so he is eligible to play in the big game.

Say what you will about applied sciences, but no one can argue he didn’t nail the hell out of those bananas. They’re not coming off that board, no how, no way. Roll tide.

Things we learned about bananas in this very important sketch:

– There are several types of them
– Monkeys eat bananners
– They unquestionably look like boy’s weiners
– Nerds keep trying to ruin everything
– Roll tide
– John Cena can read the hell out of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
– Roll DAMN tide

Granted, these might not all be banana facts in the strict, traditional sense, but they’re certainly good enough for an A+. On a related note, the only way you can make the real Alabama Crimson Tide even more of a powerhouse is if you actually put literal John Cena on the team. What a terrifying, harrowing thought.
