It takes rare talent to craft a song and a music video that seem to be a parodies of themselves, and with the sure-to-be-timeless sensation “What Does the Fox Say?”, Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis delivered. But that didn’t stop “Saturday Night Live” host Kerry Washington and cast member Jay Pharaoh from lampooning the tune with a comedic bit of their own.
The sketch Saturday night featured Washington and Pharaoh as a couple, beginning with them seated on a couch and watching the original “What Does the Fox Say?” video on Pharaoh’s smartphone. In the course of watching the video, the phone was lit up by a text from someone who Washington suspected was a secret lover — and her anger manifested in the parody.
After singing some unrelated lines about a family reunion, Pharaoh asked, “What does my girl say?”
“Who that, who that, who that b—-?” Washington responded, replacing the song’s original refrain to hearty laughs from the audience.
Naturally, Washington’s ‘jealousy’ and the parody only got crazier from there. Check out the full clip below.
