Watch the Menéndez brothers sketch too controversial for 'SNL'

Saturday Night Live almost got deep into the Menéndez brothers controversy this past weekend.

SNL, known for its topical humor and skewering of recent headlines, dipped its toe into the Menéndez waters in a Weekend Update segment that was ultimately cut for time and not aired as a part of the show.

In the sketch, Michael Longfellow and Marcello Hernandez appeared as "Two Guys Dressed as Doctors" for Halloween, wearing blue and gray scrubs over long sleeve white shirts.

The two guys said they thought their costumes were straightforward and simple, but this year, Halloween is a little more complicated.

"The moment we stepped out the door, everyone immediately assumed we were dressed as something else: the Menéndez brothers."

"We thought people would see two doctors and start banging pots and pans together for us," Longfellow said.

"Instead, people keep yelling things like, 'You're innocent!' and 'You're so hot!'" Hernandez joked.

"And also, 'Kiss each other again!'" Longfellow added in.

When Colin Jost asked about the "again" part, Longfellow said, "yeah, it's in the show."

"The Netflix show and TikTok have made the Menéndez brothers sex symbols," Hernandez continued.

"Turns out, people like the Menéndez brothers wayyy more than doctors," Longfellow said.

"We've been telling people we straight up are the Menéndez brothers," Hernandez confirmed.
