This recent birthday gifts skit from Saturday Night Live had us laughing out loud. These were exactly the kind of gifts many of our friends had bought (or wanted to buy) us before we got sober. A group of friends (Regina King, Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, and Chloe Fineman) has the same birthday gift idea for their friend (Aidy Bryant). I don’t want to ruin it for you if you haven’t seen this one yet —take a look! The watch time is just under 5 minutes.
