Don Cheadle has chops.
(As a reminder, were ranking these sketches in order of excellence.)
Cheadle can always tell what projects fans know best by the way in which they approach him.
Most of them, sadly, are terrible bakers.
(Its a powerful argument, worth the brief flirtation with clapter.)
The performances are worthwhile, but theres not much to the occasion.
So it’s possible for you to spend your ride in the ambulance pretending you have universal health care.
Then Beck Bennett comes on as Jules, the whimsical free spirit who sees things a little differently.
The character is still fun, but it doesnt have quite as much to it this time.
Mikey Day comes on as centenarian Mort Fellner.
Its a funny idea, but it just doesnt hit quite right.
Olympia will even slap my daughter in front of your family, no extra charge.

Its the kind of place where when some guy (Cheadle) bumps into Nelson, it is on.
Nelson requests his favorite fighting song get played on the jukebox, but Lollipop by Mika comes on instead.
The guys find it too fun and too irresistible.
They cant switch the music, and they cant fight, so they start swaying a bit.
The guy accuses Nelson of dancing, but hes just moving his body to the rhythm.
Soon the whole bar is on its feet, bursting into a big, choreographed routine.
The joke is entirely in the premise, so theres some physical comedy but not a lot of surprises.
Cheadle got to indulge some quirky characters, but the writers sadly did not deliver any high-status madmen.
