Watch Aidy Bryant, Carey Mulligan Almost Break in SNL Study Buddy Sketch - Vulture
If there’s one thing Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant know how to do, it’s play tween characters with almost painful hyper-specificity.
“Study Buddy†is a masterclass in perfectly executed character choices, from Josh’s pronunciation of the word “astute,†to Jason’s assurance that he knows what he’s talking about because he “did have a girlfriend at graphic design camp.†SNL’s costume and makeup department also deserve props for lived-in details like Jason’s top teeth braces and Josh’s too-large jeans.
