SNL: Watch Kate McKinnon’s Brilliant Parody (With Cecily Strong) of Justin Bieber

Watch Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong’s brilliant parody of the Justin Bieber-Calvin Klein commercials on “Saturday Night Live.” This is one of many excellent skits from last night’s show.

Bieber may have a touring career left in him, but musically he’s pretty much kaput. Culturally, as well. He’s the laughingstock of the moment. And it’s not even that. He has no musical cred, no one single or piece of music that’s sold well or had any critical appreciation.

His last collection, sent straight to iTunes, was a disaster. His name does not appear with his contemporaries on any list of this or last year’s best selling hits. Radio rejects him. And now this, this is devastating. The tattoos are truly hilarious and pathetic.
