Fans' hilarious comments to the British version of SNL

Because of the announcement, fans poked fun at the news, commenting that during sketch breaks, the cast and the audience of Saturday Night Live: Britain would be having tea breaks in between sketches:

"So it’s just gonna be dry humor and tea breaks between sketches?" - a fan asked (via X/@horejsiii)

Fans also trolled the British version of SNL, joking:

"It’s gonna be 45 minutes of dry wit, one chaotic sketch, and someone singing Adele. I’m in" - another fan said (via X/@AvaTlovenotes)

Other fans also LOLed at the idea of the British version of the iconic comedy series, saying that it took Britain 50 years just to get the license to make the show. (via X/@ChicChronically)

Some fans also clowned the British version of Saturday Night Live, stating that the jokes would be about the common British culture and some funny British words!

Although X users are excited about the British version of the beloved American show, some X users pointed out that The Graham Norton Show exists, so there's no need for Saturday Night Live: Britain. (via X/@ASTER0MATA)

X users also joked that the British version of Saturday Night Live will be random because that's what the British are known for: being random and unexpected!

"The celebrity hosts being the actors of random characters from corrie and the musical guests being one hit wonders" - another X user remarked (via X/@littleoldrhys)

And finally, other X users also roasted the British SNL announcement, commenting that maybe it's just a late April Fool's joke...right?
