SNL has Dave Chappelle on Pop the Balloon

YouTube’s hit dating show Pop the Balloon or Find Love just got the Saturday Night Live treatment — and it’s as chaotic as you’d expect. The series, known for its lineup of singles clutching red balloons and ruthless eliminations, has become an internet obsession, especially within the Black community.

SNL’s parody captures the chaos perfectly. Contestants are swiftly eliminated for ridiculous reasons, like when Heidi Gardner’s character popped a balloon after hearing, “I like to cook,” and declaring, “I really don’t like the smell of food.”

But the sketch's highlight is Dave Chappelle's surprising appearance as Silky Johnson, his foul-mouthed, over-the-top Chappelle’s Show character. Understandably, all the women popped their balloons, but that didn't stop Silky from giving musical guest Glorilla another one so he could pop it himself for "her sass."
