New Chinese catchphrase “Do Sex to Me” sure to catch on

This Cold Open was wonderfully timed as Obama’s recent trip to China certainly seemed like a “Hey, we’re good for the money. We swear.” assurance. The heavy sarcasm helped sell the entire sketch and you could just picture a couple of writers coming up with the dialogue while watching the actual press conference. Add the sarcasm with Will Forte’s continually turning his ass toward Fred Armisen’s Obama and you have the makings of a classic SNL political sketch. The icing on the cake was Nasim Pedrad screaming “Do sex to me” after each of Forte’s angry blow ups. Normally, I would be bummed they didn’t just curse and bleep it out (this usually comes across better) but I imagine that’s what Hu Jintao really wanted to say during the real press conference anyway.
