Last night Saturday Night Live it was even more musical than usual, probably because the writers built their skits around presenter Nick Jonas’ melodic skill set. In the second best musical skit of the night, Jonas organizes the bachelor party of his friend Mickey (Beck Bennett) with the ultimate goal of all the guys being horny in the same room together, as a group. The outline is about the absurdity of heterosexual male rituals traditionally “male”, like watching strippers together, but it is interpreted in a comically sincere way. “I love to be hard on my homies, boned next to my friends,” Jonas sings in falsetto. The outline is not subtle with your message, the chorus just says, “horny, horny, horny around my friends!” Jonas then sings, “get chubbos with the guys, that was my only plan”. In the end, the hands-free group raises a table with what Heidi Gardner calls “rigid dongs”. It’s the lowest form of comedy, but the chorus is kind of catchy.
