'SNL' goofs on the haircut all moms have
Why do so many moms have that same short haircut with chunky highlights? You know, "the one that looks like you're going to a formal event, but on the way you were struck by lightning," or that is like "a soft waterfall in the front, but knives in the back"?
Saturday Night Live explained the phenomenon that is "the cut."
Moms (played by Cecily Strong, Vanessa Bayer, Aidy Bryant, Sasheer Zamata, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones) tell an expectant mother (host Brie Larson) about the time they knew they were ready for the "the cut," in the same way people would talk about witchcraft.
"No one wants the cut. The cut chooses you," says Bayer, before ominous music comes in.
Of course, Larson's character gets seduced by "the cut," too.
