How about both?
Twitter users could not wait for “Saturday Night Live” this week. The Mandela memorial fake sign language translator guy was tailor-made for a modern day “Seinfeld” plot and for an SNL skit!
Tonight's hope is that #SNL will parody the fake interpreter.

Indeed, it did. Check out the video over at Jammie Wearing Fool and be prepared to giggle madly.
They did also hit President Obama for his FLOTUS fury-inspiring funeral selfie.
I knew they would make fun of the selfie!! #SNL

Kenan Thompson was terrific as the "sign language interpreter" from South Africa. Thank you for giving us all what we hoped for!! #SNL
