Scarlett Johansson’s hilarious recreation of Katie Britt’s SOTU response on SNL takes social media by storm: Watch
Sen. Katie Britt’s State of the Union response was so dramatic and “disastrous,” as some said, that many were quick to compare it to a Saturday Night Live skit.
SNL did not not hold back. Scarlett Johansson made a surprise appearance as Britt, with her hilarious monologue taking the internet by storm.
Britt, in her 17-plus minute response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, mocked the president’s age and his policies. “Biden proudly proclaims that ‘Bidenomics is working,'” Britt said, at times appearing as though she was on the verge of tears. “Goodness, y’all. Bless his heart. We know better.”
“Let’s be honest,” Britt said. “It’s been a minute since Joe Biden pumped gas, ran a carpool or even pushed a grocery cart.”
Her melodramatic speech prompted criticism, and needless to say, social media memes.
Scarlett Johansson as Katie Britt
Johansson as Britt is as funny as it gets. “Good evening America, my name is Katie Britt, and I have the honor of serving the people of the great state of Alabama. But tonight, I’ll be auditioning for the part of scary mom,” she said. The setting was the same as Britt’s, and so were the clothes.
“I’ll be performing an original monologue called ‘This country is hell.’ You see, I’m not just a senator. I’m a wife, a mother, and the craziest bitch in the Target parking lot,” she continued.
