The recent sketch on Saturday Night Live featured a comedic take on the popular series Stranger Things, showcasing its main characters in a humorous light. Hosted by Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike, the sketch included appearances by co-stars Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, who also reprised their roles. The trio's adventure leads them to Iceland in search of Eleven, played by a surprise guest.
The sketch humorously critiques Netflix's attempts to expand the franchise with various sequels and spin-offs, jokingly labeling it as “our Star Wars.” It also included playful jabs at 90s culture and television tropes, with one of the standout gags imagining Mike, Lucas, and Dustin in a parody of Sex & the City.
Additionally, Wolfhard's opening monologue touched on the series finale, sharing light-hearted anecdotes about his experiences during filming, including his first kiss and the challenges of growing up in front of a massive audience. This marks yet another instance of Stranger Things being featured on SNL, following previous sketches that commented on the show's narrative choices.
