Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio did not come to play.
For his Saturday night making his guest debut on October 21st, the artist, known professionally as Bad Bunny, fully embraced the spirit of the show and was relaxed, committed and involved in every part. With stellar cameos from Pedro Pascal, Fred Armisen and Mick Jagger, the Puerto Rican native gave a performance that hilariously showcased his acting skills while paying homage to his Latino roots.
Check out the funniest Bad Bunny moments at SNL under.
When he addressed the Grammy Faux Pas in his opening monologue
We were barely two minutes into the rapper’s hosting before he made his first clue.
While delivering his opening monologue, Bad Bunny addressed the fact that some people thought he might struggle at the gig, given that English is not his first language. Dismissing all the skeptics, he began speaking in Spanish, welcoming “all Latin Americans in the world, especially those watching live in Puerto Rico.”
However, he quickly stopped his monologue after noticing SNL-generated subtitles read “[SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH]” a throwback to the moment the Grammys failed to translate his song during his performance at the awards earlier this year.
– Not again, not again – he joked. “Can we change it? Can we make it right?” he pleaded before the words were changed to “[SPEAKING A SEXIER LANGUAGE].”

When he took the ‘SNL’ writers on an emotional roller coaster
AND Shrek a movie where Michael Jackson is also the main character might seem far-fetched to some, but Benito somehow managed it for us in this skit, which features SNL writers and Please Don’t Destroy bandmates John Higgins, Ben Marshall and Martin Herlihy.
When he stood out as an overprotective Tía
Perhaps the highlight of the night came when Bad Bunny brought out Pedro Pascal for the continuation of the “Overprotective Mom” skit.
The premise was that Marcello Hernández’s character Luis was bringing his girlfriend (Chloe Troast) home to meet his aunt, Tía Rosa, played by Bad Bunny. However, when they got there, the young couple realized that Luis’ mother was also visiting, and hilarity ensued. (There’s even a joke about not being a child slipped into the sketch, perhaps a nod to the rapper’s relationship with Kendall Jenner.)

When He Playing An Hinged Monarch
For this skit, Hernández and Bad Bunny took us back centuries and played an unrelated father-son ruling duo who sent explorers to China to bring back some “silk and spices.”
WITH SNL Alumni Fred Armisen and current cast member Mikey Day who play the supposed explorers, the king and his prince, are informed that the expedition didn’t make it all the way to China, but to what is called the New World, where they found other treasures instead. The monarchs are then introduced to New World goods such as turkeys, pumpkins, llamas, and tomatoes—none of which go down well until they are presented with cigars and some gold.
Although by the end of the section they had come up with the idea of the New World, the king and his prince still encouraged the explorers to make that trip to China.
When the father of all Cameos scored
Briefly: Bad Bunny and Hernández were playing two brothers in a telenovela when Mick Jagger appeared.
And then there was a controversy in the monastery
The evil bunny, also known as Sister Theresa, became the audience’s prime suspect when the sketch turned out to feature a man pretending to be a nun in a remote monastery in Austria. The aforementioned poser was “obviously so sexy that even God could not stop him” in his relationships with his sisters.
The “sex king” turned out to be none other than Sister Kevin, played by Mick Jagger.

When he played a caring father
A parent’s love for their children knows no bounds, and judging by this skit, it can’t seem to read a room.
Benito played a senior accountant in Burt’s Bees, and seemed unable to navigate the game as the company was about to be acquired and internal changes were imminent. Although his colleagues initially looked at him from the sidelines, they simply fell in love with the sweet gentleman, who was overjoyed that his daughter was getting married and that his son was going to have a child.
