You NEED To See SNL's Melania Trump Lemonade Spoof

Election 2016 must feel like a gift to the writers at Saturday Night Live. They had plenty of material to work with, thanks to last week's train wreck of a debate. And the writers made sure to hit every key moment, from Ken Bone to Trump's weird hovering over Hillary Clinton.

But the SNL cast also took an opportunity to play with the Trump campaign's weird obsession with Beyoncé. Emily Blunt joined the women of SNL for one of the episode's best sketches: "Melanianade."

Lastly, the musical guest was Bruno Mars, who performed his new hit song "24K Magic." The only thing more fun than Bruno Mars performing is Bruno Mars turning the SNL stage into a dance party.

Ahead, the best moments from last night's episode of Saturday Night Live.

The "Worst Ever Presidential Debate"

How creepy was Donald Trump stalking behind Clinton on the debate stage? So creepy that SNL turned it into a something straight out of a horror movie. And how ridiculous was Ken Bone? So ridiculous that Bobby Moynihan plays the mustachioed undecided voter with an uplifting dance break. One of the best moments? When McKinnon's Clinton says she's "made of steel" and that "this is nothing" in the face of her husband's accusers.

Melania Drinks Some Lemonade

After Trump campaign surrogates took to cable TV denouncing the evils of Beyoncé — in a weird connection to Hillary Clinton — it was pretty much guaranteed to be a sketch. But we never could have imagined such a fantastic spoof of Beyonce's "Sorry" video, featuring an angry Melania, Kellyanne Conway, and Ivanka Trump (played by Emily Blunt). Melania, tell him, "Boy, bye."

"Honda Robotics"

Okay, so "Honda Robotics" isn't the funniest sketch ever because of its content. No, it's absurd. The thing that makes it so damn funny is Emily Blunt breaking character while pretending to be a robot pushing quesadillas. Even McKinnon approaches her breaking point — and it's so worth it.

Bruno Mars Performs "24K Magic"

If you miss Bruno Mars' smooth voice, then you might not be the biggest fan of "24K Magic," which mostly features autotune and Mars shouting. But the song is fun, and so is this SNL performance, which starts backstage and follows Mars to the stage. There's even an audience dance party. What's more fun than that?

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
