In the video we see Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian, Fred Armisen, Will Ferrell, Robert Goulet, and Ana Gasteyer dancing and acting humorously. Fans remember Doonesee's character for her rubbery hands which she comically waved as a funny gesture.

Dooneese belongs to one of the Maharelle sister quartets. They featured in The Lawrence Welk Show parodies. With perfect styles haired, questionable singing ability, and pastel dresses the Maharelle sisters represented in a parodic way, the old singing groups.

Dooneese induced her signature humor by breaking away from the normalcy and grace of the other sisters. Now that the beloved comic character is back, fans are having a moment of nostalgia, and watching the recent SNL video is sending them into laughing fits.
