Hey everyone I’m an actor/filmmaker/writer. Here’s a recent skit I made with a friend. Hope you enjoy. The dead pan comedy is really fun to play around with. Do you think he killed a deer or what?

Remember "I Didn't Ask For This"? It's one of those SNL sketches that stuck with people—the one where cast members react to embarrassing internet moments they never signed up for. Bobby Moynihan punching a computer screen, John Hamm as an absent dad tearing up... it was weird, it was funny, and it felt real.

Here's the thing: that sketch was *ahead of its time*. In 2024, we're drowning in internet moments we didn't ask for. Every day someone's TikTok goes viral for the wrong reasons, or an old video resurfaces at exactly the wrong moment. That sketch was basically comedy gold because it nailed something we all experience.

I started a petition because I think SNL should bring this back. Not as a one-off, but as a real recurring bit for the modern internet era. There's endless material—real viral moments, meme reactions, all of it ripe for SNL's take. It could actually be funny *and* relatable, which is rare these days.

Anyone else miss this sketch? Or am I the only one who thinks SNL was onto something special with it? If you think this deserves a comeback, consider signing and sharing the petition. Sometimes the internet just needs a good laugh at itself.

How did I do? @thisischrisoakes on all platforms

Do you try to find deeper character motivations? Or do you predominantly just try to serve the game of the sketch? And are there any other differences you’ve noticed between these two types of acting?

Boris celebrates his 1 year anniversary with his girlfriend Katie but there's a problem, she's somehow transformed herself into an earthworm.

It’s called gun movie. I think it’s a really funny action/comedy short film. If you’re interested in that sort of thing, I’d definitely check it out. Lead actors really good. #ShortFilm #New

With A.I. being inevitable and all, seems like the logical next step.

A drunk, broken-down realtor comes to terms with his messy divorce. Dark comedy! :)

My debut full-length sketch album, Memoirs & Manifestos, is out now. Stream the full album free on Soundcloud or Bandcamp.

Big thank you to everyone who had a hand in helping make the album.

Now if you'll excuse me, my stomach is all over the place thinking about the response this will get, so I'm gonna go outside for three years.

Best dick joke I've ever seen in a short film!
