SNL Legally Blonde the Musical Middle School sketch — Page 2

This is one of the only times I've ever felt unclean reading a news article.

Former Cast Member: That video is deeply embarrassing and traumatizing, and why I don't perform anymore.

I'm kind of sad that more of the cast members don't find it as funny as the rest of us do. It just makes it so we're laughing at them instead of with them.

It’s weird the SNL sketch is no longer available on YT but I just found it on some random site meta tube…

I honestly had thought the SNL sketch (not skit) was just based on kid-theatre experiences, not an actual viral Legally Blonde video! The last paragraph of the Rolling Stone article is great.

I was never a theatre kid, so I can't directly relate, but I admire the theatre people who can just put all that self-consciousness away! (And I totally get why people still talk about their high school theatre performances decades later.)
