SNL's Spot-On TikTok Influencer Sketch Hilariously Mocks Social Media Sensations
The Show's Cast Poignantly Captures the Superficiality and Absurdity of Social Media
On Saturday Night Live's recent episode, the show's cast took aim at the world of TikTok influencers with a spot-on sketch that hilariously mocked the superficiality and absurdity of social media.
The sketch opens with a group of influencers, each one trying to outdo the other with their over-the-top antics. There's the "fitness influencer" who flexes her muscles while doing a handstand, the "food influencer" who films herself taking a bite of a giant burger, and the "travel influencer" who chronicles her every move as she lounges on a tropical beach.
But the real star of the sketch is Chloe Fineman, who gives an unforgettably over-the-top performance as a TikTok influencer named "Fiji." Fiji is obsessed with creating viral videos that showcase her perfect life, from her designer wardrobe to her lavish vacations. But behind her carefully curated facade, she's actually a deeply insecure and lonely woman.
Through Fiji, SNL perfectly captures the absurdity of social media influencers and the lengths they go to maintain their online image. The sketch is a hilarious send-up of the influencer culture, and it's sure to resonate with anyone who has ever rolled their eyes at the latest TikTok trend.
