“If You Go On SNL, I Will Cut My Arm Off”: Here’s The Tea Behind Why Tens Of Millions Of People Haven’t Stopped Talking About Trisha Paytas Being On SNL
However, if you search “Trisha SNL” on TikTok, you will see several viral videos featuring an old clip of Frenemies, which was a podcast hosted by Trisha and YouTuber Ethan Klein from 2020 to 2021.
In the clip, Ethan first talks about how he doesn’t want to be on SNL because it “would be a lot of work.” To that, Trisha happily shares that she would love to. This is when Ethan says, “If you go on Saturday Night Live…I will cut my arm off.”
Fast forward to this past Saturday, three years after the arm-cutting statement, when Trisha made her first SNL appearance in a Spotify Wrapped skit, featuring host for that night, actor Paul Mescal.
The SNL sketch features fake artist Satoshi Gutmann (played by Bowen Yang), who happens to be Paul’s character’s number-one artist on Spotify Wrapped.
The characters end up watching a clip of one of Satoshi’s podcast episodes featuring Trisha Paytas.
And Trisha — who is playing herself in this fake podcast clip — excitedly greets listeners with, “Hey, bastards!” Followed by a line with Satoshi, “The best bussy is celibacy.”
Satoshi and Trisha end up at the house, and the gang dances to Satoshi’s song together.
Besides people acknowledging how iconic Trisha’s appearance was…
Commenters started to recall Ethan’s comment about amputating his arm if this ever happened.
Ethan ended up making a response video, joking that one of his crew members was going to cut his arm off and he was going to mail it to her.
And this has now opened a broader discussion about how unique Trisha’s career is. First of all, people are saying that Trisha playing herself on SNL says a lot about her popularity.
In fact, appearing on the Just Trish podcast this week, actor, comedian, and SNL writer Bowen Yang said, “I love you…I have followed you from the beginning,” before calling her a comedic genius.
Lastly, people are saying this is just plain proof of manifestation.
Well, Trish is clearly manifesting more because she will be ON BROADWAY in February. Doing big things, and we love to see it!
