Weekend Update: Jafar on Ron DeSantis' Attacks on Disney - SNL 

and he wasnt wrong 😭😭😭

​@@bladeprincess Ain't that the Gospel Truth, 😂?

💀

He nailed it. Calling him “boyyy” 😂

The read of the year!!!

I didn't Realize Desantis got married at Disney!😮😂

@@debbiefulton1001 he did

Having your wedding at Disney World is pretty gay. This is a typical I’m hiding my real feelings, so let me make it go away by creating a law.

@@seffishestopal5950 you can't make this shit up, right?

Yet another reason to make fun of that white-boot wearing schmuck. He's like a fat version of Andy from Toy Story

:) Yes, would love to see Bowen do Jafar again.

No joke I would like to see more of this.

Bowen pulled out all the stops for that performance, super inspiring

He sounds just as great as Jonathan Freeman (dude who originally voiced Jafar in the movies and in House of Mouse, Hercules crossover episode with Aladdin, and Kingdom Hearts games. When Jonathan Freeman passes away one day, this dude Yang could take his place.

Yang's Jafar can fill the whole left by Taran Killiam's newspaper critic.

Thank you for loving that sketch as much as I do!

“Twelve tracks, no skips, swear to god.”

Yes the Iceberg will never stop being funny to me.

🎵 “Come on over and kiss me, Boy. Hold my hand in your brand new house. I know you don’t ever wanna miss me, Boy. So let’s watch a movie tonight in your house. Touch me, while the room is spinning. Kiss me, let’s go eat some dinner. Wine me, dine me, I had an early lunch. But I’m hungry for you, Lover Boy.” LEGENDARY AF.

And "the swamp rat" 😅😅

He makes everything gayy

@@b-meaker99 Both epithets have to stick. I’ve already forgotten The Swamp Rat’s real name, if he ever had one.

The boy known as the Torturer's Apprentice? The brat who ordered engineers to straighten out the course of a river because he thought it was called the Wokefenokee?

I know! I caught that. It has so Many implications! Especially since Desantis's isn't allowing anything taught in schools, about Slavery, or Civil Rights! Wonder how Desantis feels about being called Boy? In the derogatory way POC were, back in the slavery, Jim Crow day?😁

Best line in the whole skit

That's impressive because he was crushing it from day one. Instant favorite.

He sucks!

Got me thinking about what era Aladdin is set in and if he'd know the name Jesus as someone to swear by, not to mention if he would. What? What do you mean "stop overthinking everything?" 🤗

Bowen Yang should have been fired a long time ago. He's the worst.

He got married at the Grand Floridian which, sad to say for FL, is probably the nicest place in Central Florida. Thats how much Disney has control over that part of the state. DeSantis didn't have too many other options for a fancy wedding.

Can Disney annul his marriage?! They should. 😊

@@BluePatriotWinner Now that would be hysterical

​@@thebabyeateryukiI'm 60 and I've watched money pretty much power house this entire state top to bottom in its unbelievable economic squeeze! Seniors are it prime targeting resource next to young parents who have progressed into having children and education here, which actually sucked until DeSantis steped up and started staying closer to home. Social networking, social media etc,etc have done nothing except criticized everything and even created or twisted his words into being ugly sounding accounts of shit against him. So suck it up butter cup and grow up!

Omg, me 2!

And what of Busch Gardens?

@@canaisyoung3601 it’s not national enoigh I guess

What is Six Flags? Not an American here

@@maidros85 Six Flags are a collection of theme parks that were based on the six nations that had colonies in the U.S.. The park is broken up into areas that try to express those colonies as destinations inside the park. So one area might be based on England while another one is based on Spain etc. They all have rides that you'll stand in for over thirty minutes for a ride that will last around two minutes.

@@maidros85 Lookup "Six Flags Old Man Commercial."

Yup

He needs a movie already lmao

Your comment is exactly why SNL is going out soon...HE'S THE BEST THEY GOT TODAY....It was the best of the best not the best of the worst

Pretty much - from day 1 he s been the break out star

Every daamn time.

Looks like some lucky fellow is getting Supermaned~

​@@HarbingerOfBattle Batman

Hit the floor

But let’s be totally honest, you’re doing loopy-loops beneath a bunch of guys in spandex. That’s gay…but don’t tell the riders that. No one wants to admit that they are “Riding Superman really hard”.

Have fun and don't get caught!

Would have been a bit more on the nose if he called her a drag queen, since the character really was inspired by one.

@@alm2187I was thinking the same thing. 😂

Was "Congrats to them" a reference to Mulan being non-binary (since they/them is used for that) or was he referring to Ursula, Scar, and Mulan, saying "Congrats to those characters for being open about their sexuality and gender identity"? Feels like it could be both.

And all aren't real things. Congrats

​@@TJT45808 neither is your love it.

My thought also

Naps to that

I thought the same he killed it and I never noticed (besides mulan even tho they tried to have her get married) gay a lot of the characters are

YES PLEASE!!! This is a great impersonation!🎉

Kinda like Sudekis's Satan

Amen Sister✊🏾

yes! was about to comment that was my fave, I mean how you going to not do that with a cobra staff...

i swear to god there were point where you could close your eyes and you'd think it was a deleted scene from the movie

He's def got a future in voiceover acting if nothing else

​​@@TheMrAshley2010 I'd say he has a pretty good future in "acting" acting... His gestures, slipping in and out of character, and everything else was right on point!

@@carlwilliams6977 No doubt!

Just makes me miss Norm Macdonald honestly. SNL is just a shell now

He portrays just about every single character the same way, he's talented but would definitely prefer seeing him add some range to how he portrays the characters he's playing. But to each their own.

Right?!!!!😂

You know what....👏👏👏👏👏

Too bad we didn't get it. Maybe if there's a stage show a few years down the line...

Ikr!

@@canaisyoung3601well there was, and Jonathan Freeman played Jafar in the Broadway show! :)

@@canaisyoung3601 this is all jafar's fault

He's horrible!

Agreed! He's definitely one of the top performers of SNL. He never fails to crack me up!

This was really well done and he killed it here, but otherwise I think he's pretty one-dimensional.

@@RTPMinx saying that just shows how horrible the show is

My fave skit of his was as the iceberg that hit the Titanic. That will never stop being funny to me.

You saw that too, lol😂

@@blackqueen164 Yes trying to hypnotize with his snake staff.

🤣😂 It's just too fantastic

Bowen is having such a fun time with this character. Seeing him stare down Michael and trying to hypnotize him was so subtle and yet so genius!

The snake's eyes light up too, that cracked me up

Why even make the statement, don’t care which way he swings - if you enjoyed it, you enjoyed it!

😂 EVERYTHING?!?! You promise?! I've never been, and now this is how I'll imagine it. And it's hilarious!

@@thomashudson5074 mostly that there’s a very large LQBTQIA+ community and Desantis is attacking the company by trying to take away the Reedy Creek district. There’s a special place in hell waiting for that man.

The fact that from what I gather from your comment WDW employees are called "cast members" tells me everything I need to know about a company that apparently tries to sell their employees the illusion that they are working in some enchanted Magic Kingdom while probably underpaying, overstressing, and undervaluing them

@@icantollie there’s some truth to that but it’s not even a little bit exclusive to Disney and at the end of the day, most of us made the choice to work for the company and genuinely enjoy it. would you like to take a seat now?

@@icantollie You are correct about Disney treats their cast members. (Quick disclaimer: I am not endorsing or approving this policy, just explaining it.) The entertainment industry has different hiring standards than other industries. It is easier and legal to practice different forms of discrimination if a company can make a strong case that they are in the entertainment industry. This is why Disney calls most of the park employees "cast members." It allows the company to adhere to a different set of standards in hiring and firing as opposed to a regular store or restaurant.

All these characters where he plays himself?

All the characters where he is gay?

You must be gay. Because from the clips I've seen that's all he does is play the same gay character

I loved his playing George Santos and some other characters, but honestly he seems to portray just about every character the same way. He's talented, but he definitely needs more range to win an Emmy.

Agreed. He's been outstanding this season.

YES

DISNEY PLEASE DO THIS

That's if Michael Longfellow doesn't usurp that title.

Ya, every character is gay. Brilliant.

"First Asian cast member and you're dusting me? Twitter's going to eat you alive!" I don't think anyone can top that Bowen line

Lolz fr

no its definitely Get in the Cage

It’s one of the best I’ve ever heard 😅

“Yoked Genie” 😂

That's Bowen Yang. He's amazing!

It's Bowen Yang. He wrote for the show in season 44, then became a cast member in season 45 (which sadly got cut short because of COVID lockdowns).

Yes

He put it in his own book. BIG MISTAKE FROM HIM🤣🤣

That's before they thought they could get away with child grooming, child porn, and sex trafficking from their employees.

Yes, in the Italy pavilion at EPCOT.

@@SkipperJane No, he got married at the Grand Floridian and the wedding reception was in the Italy pavilion.

Jafar needs to banish Desantis

if he doesn't I won't worship him

Have u seen him play the iceberg the Titanic hit ? Omg its soooo funny ! I was dying

wooooooooord

For me, it's a very close second to any of Pedro's sketches, especially Waking Up. But DEFINITELY a cloooose second. Bowen is the best.

Grrrrrindr

It's an amusing and plausible case that Jafar is gay. 😂 But I guess he was just being a poser with that attempted wish to make Jasmine his doting slave wife? 🤗 Not to mention it 100% works when she kisses him as a distraction tactic. What? What do you mean "stop overthinking everything?" 😜

@@alm2187 You think he was consummating marriage with Jasmine? Nah he'd more likely want Prince Ali.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hays_Code That was one way to garner public attention at a time when society at large would prefer not to recognize the community.

@@alm2187 Small price to pay for power I guess

Sincere question, what does queer coded mean, I feel like this is some term all liberals probably know but the rest of us don't

It's so stupid the jokes practically write themselves, nevertheless Bowen turnts it up.

so a multi billion dollar company avoiding taxes is ok now....So you'll back off Trump then right....I feel like this is about something else. I cant wait for history to correct this blip, if it gets the chance, but it probably won't as you destroy everything you fuck up so nobody knows. Im getting closer I think, shit I'll be deleted next. Dont tell Hillary.

I would live to see him do a Lord Farquard version. Encore. Give us more.

It's ridiculous? With the groomer crap they're peddling? Why is being a weak f@ggot praised these days but being a real man is "toxic?" Their employees just got busted for child porn and trafficking. The pendulum is swinging back on you sickos, and hard. Be lucky if we don't set you in fire as a warning to the rest.

The fact you people believe these jokes are real 😂😂😂

Yes! It was wonderfully nuanced.

He's a gay dude playing a gay dude. That the extent of his roles

I TOTALLY agree and had been thinking the EXACT same! 👍😂👍

I also like Jr. Governor 😅😅😅

Desante can be a runner up tho.

How would you have known he would play jafar? Has he done it before

@@npierce14 Because Jafar is definitely queer and Bowen is the best person to play him.

he gives me more bottom than versatile

@@Nomaaaaam you beat me to the joke, haha. God I love Bowen.

Jonathon Freeman would be proud

I wonder if Jonathan Freeman has seen this

🤣😂🤣😂

It’s my favorite part. I think I’ll make it my ringtone.
