YouTube’s immensely popular dating series, *Pop the Balloon or Find Love*, has just been given the *Saturday Night Live* parody treatment — and, as anticipated, it’s uproariously tumultuous. The original program, renowned for its cast of singles gripping red balloons and its mercilessly rapid eliminations, has morphed into a cultural sensation, particularly striking a chord with the Black community.

*SNL*’s satire perfectly encapsulates the show’s absurdity. Contestants face elimination for the most ludicrous reasons, such as when Heidi Gardner’s character burst a balloon after someone commented, “I like to cook,” to which she replied, “I really don’t enjoy the scent of food.”

However, the highlight of the sketch is Dave Chappelle’s unexpected appearance as Silky Johnson, the outrageous, foul-mouthed character from his legendary *Chappelle’s Show*. Unsurprisingly, all the women burst their balloons upon encountering him, but that didn’t phase Silky. He handed musical guest Glorilla another balloon just to pop it himself, stating “her sass” as the justification.

The parody beautifully reflects the exaggerated energy of the original show while infusing *SNL*’s distinctive comedic touch.
