This short digitalis closer to the BBC original series than the american version. The SNL short picked up the original theme and some bits...

i dunno who nailed it better, Bobby as Gandalf or Taran's Gollum. Both absolutely killed it.

Why isn’t this a show? My God they’d make Billions!!!

I love Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins. Seriously melts my heart

This is by far the best SNL sketch ever...

I’m so late but this is the best ever.

Id pay for an HBO sub just for this to be an actual show. Seriously MAKE THIS A SHOW

Martin Freeman was such a surprisingly good host :D

i love that they are doing the british version. I respect them for that.

Only better is if after the fella found his ring in the jello he screams “GANDALF!!!!’ Like Dwight screams for Michael when Jim messes with him

Except they're parodying the original scene from the 2001 UK The Office where Gareth (later called Michael in the US reboot) is afraid of jelly.

@@djohnson3274 I never watched the original, thanks for pointing that out. Adds more humor to the situation.

This would have been absolutely epic if they had got Ricky Gervais, Mackenzie Crook and Lucy Davis to play the proper parts. If they can get a massive star like Martin Freeman, the others would have been easy.

well yeah, but it's a sketch show that produces an LIVE episode every week with a main host and one or two guest appearances.... scheduling is key.

That will be in "Best of SNL" someday.

I wish they have more skits like this now day

Top five of SNL's very best work of all time, in my book! 👍

+4:33 And Bobby Moynihan played two parts in this. He's the best!

Possibly one of the Top 10 SNL Sketches of the past 10 years Sketch comedy can extend the existing lore of pop culture with humor, creativity and personality. Gandalf (Bobby Moynihan), Gollum (Taran Killam) truly kill it

This proves a lot of Americans appreciate British humour. Believe it. A LOT of us love Peep Show.

Tartan was amazing on the cast!! His range is unbelievable!

Uh, how have I never heard or seen this before? Why isn't this circulating in the UK as an amazing American comedy classic? Americans parodying something British, and really doing a great job? Bobby really nails Ricky Gervais and I love Taran's Gollum!

Well, this is also most reminiscent of the US version of the office. The Jello scene is taken directly from one of the first episodes of the US version.

which was taken directly from the original British version. The US "The Office" pilot was exactly, word for word, taken from the British version.

Literally cried laughing. One of the best skits in history

why the hell am i only just now seeing this wonderfully done skit xD

that was nasty tricksies!

We need this series.

Ahhh, the old Ring in the Jello joke! Never gets old

I am sure Martin had a trip down memory lane

the fact that they used Bobby twice.... and of course Martin is perfection. He has to be.

just so americans understand ... martin freeman was in the original The Office, as one of the main characters. So that alone makes this funny.
