Aubrey Plaza makes a surprise return to SNL in a Hunting Wives parody

Aubrey Plaza A sudden return to “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, and fans have completely lost it. The “Parks and Recreation” star appeared in a pre-recorded parody sketch alongside his former co-star Amy Poehlerturns Netflix’s thriller “The Hunting Wives” into pure comedy gold. The fake trailer opened with an exaggerated voiceover describing “The Hunting Wives” as a “straight but gay Republican murder drama,” before teasing that “millions of Americans tuned in for the first season.” The mock introduction immediately set the tone. The super melodramatic parody is exactly the kind of chaos that SNL fans love to see.

Chloe Fineman takes center stage as a wide-eyed newcomer who arrives in a small Southern town full of socialites keeping secrets. Amy Poehler, wearing a flowing green dress as one of the “wives,” greeted her with a completely rude, “Well, look what the cat dragged in.”

From here, things got even more ridiculous. The women were shown drinking in kitchens, posing dramatically with guns, and whispering through bright-lipped smiles as phony comments littered the screen, including a hilarious comment from PEOPLE magazine that said: “It’s like ‘Call Me By Your Name’ for women who shop at Bass Pro Shop.”

The “SNL” audience exploded when Plaza suddenly appeared midway through the trailer, strutting in front of the mimosa-and-kill crew wearing sunglasses and a California print. “Hi ladies. I’m new here,” she announced.

When Poehler offered her a drink, Plaza innocently replied, “I’ve never made a mimosa before,” prompting Feynman’s character to seductively interject, “I’ll show you.”

What followed was a deliberately steamy montage of Feynman guiding Plaza through the pouring of champagne, the rest of the wives joining in as their hair flew in slow motion and the music swelled in the background.

Then came the twist. When one woman asked if she had a boyfriend, Plaza responded deadpan: “I don’t have a boyfriend. I have a girlfriend.” Immediately, the other women jumped back, pulled out their weapons, and cut to the trailer’s tagline, “The Hunting Wives Season 2: Don’t watch it on a plane.”

After the “SNL” sketch, she starred in “The Hunting Wives.” Brittany Snow She took to Instagram to share the parody, and she couldn’t hide her excitement. Captioning the clip, “Just us and the beans. My life is made. @nbcsnl,” Snow gushed about seeing her show transformed into the “SNL” parody show.

The post quickly filled with celebrity reactions. Actress Malin Akerman commented: “Beans!!!” While another fan wrote, “This is it!!! I can’t stop laughing omg. Also, the AUBREY PLAZA CAMEO is pure perfection.” Even “The Hunting Wives” author May Cobb jumped in, repeating the love quote with “that’s what it’s all about.”

Malin Åkerman also shared a parody of “SNL” on her own page, calling it “the best thing I’ve ever seen!!! Hunting Wives season 2 premiere (?!). Yes!!!!!” Snow jumped on her co-star’s comments with a hilarious jab of her own, writing: “I’m so happy @nbcsnl got our deleted scenes.”
