For most of the skit, I couldn't contain myself. This sketch gets better with multiple viewings too.The absurdity, the delivery, everything.This sketch is clearly one of those love it/hate it clips, but I absolutely loved it.

Who told you to open your mouth... BIIIIITCHH!

I know I'm in the extreme minority here, and maybe I'm just a sucker for the idea of fictional kids doing rude and inappropriate things, but this cracked me up. Not even the dialogue so much, but really just the absurdity of the whole concept - a 40 year old man playing a 10 year old boy who, for some reason, acts like a horrible, mean, 60 year old drag queen; and then the idea that this pleasant, middle-American family would (beyond all logic) end up seeing his awful personality as endearing. Yes, it IS dumb, but I guess I kind of saw that as the whole point.Of course we're not supposed to "like" this character, which seemed to frustrate some other people here. Yeah, this "kid" is an unbearable, awful mess that would never really exist*, let alone be tolerated in real life; and THAT'S the joke.I'd agree with the argument that this Riley bit is a failure for being so polarizing, and maybe for not doing a better job of getting its point (?) across to win broader appeal with the audience; but at the same time I'm glad SNL was willing to try something so strange - which, of course, they won't do again. At least not with this character.*yeah, of course rude kids exist.. but not as some over the top, chain-smoking, drag queen archetype.

Painful. Literally. I think I just died.

I wouldn't remove my diseased left uterus that went septic with a dull pencil if it meant I had to watch another sketch like this.
