The first sketch of Benedict Cumberbatch’s first SNL hosting stint involved him dropping his pants. It also featured some timely jokes at Apple’s expense and a new way to think about sitting on the toilet — that South Park thought of first, obviously. Not only is it a funny knock at Apple, using their classic 1984 commercial against them to promote an innovative way to go to the bathroom.
We’ve all been treating the toilet bowl like we would a normal chair for years, but the time has come to think outside the box and turn around. There’s that natural flat surface for you to either place some items or just drape your arms over like James Dean after a big meal at Golden Corral. He needs complete relaxation for such things.
Cumberbatch blows the minds of everybody in the area and also manages to kill the Big Brother character with his toilet powers. At least I think he did. I was busy singing Dire Straits by the end and remembering the video for that song. It could’ve been made a lot better by Cumberbatch selling reverse toilets to make some of that money, instead of color TVs that definitely aren’t working these days. Mark Knopfler was a fool not to learn how to play the guitar or play those drums.
