Not to be left out of this weekend's festivities, Saturday Night Live -- which traditionally has relatively few ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- decided to celebrate the release of Avengers: Endgame by reminding folks of a classic moment from the show featuring Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye. As you might imagine, things don't go particularly well for the Avenger.

The clip, which comes from Season 38 episode that aired in 2012, focuses on the original Avengers film. In it, Captain America (portrayed by Taran Killam) and Black Widow (portrayed by Kate McKinnon) are discussing their plan of attack when it's revealed that Hawkeye's pretty much done; he's all out of arrows.

The short clip, which was shared on Twitter, can be seen below:

Such a simpler time. While we won't spoil anything, it is known that Hawkeye has a significant presence in Endgame after being absent from Infinity War. You can check out the full Saturday Night Live sketch below, which is much longer:

Avengers: Endgame serves as the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, which began with 2008's Iron Man, which starred Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role. This section of the MCU has recently been dubbed the Infinity Saga, which makes sense as it largely concerns the Infinity Stones and the acquisition of them by the Mad Titan, Thanos, as portrayed by Josh Brolin.

Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel are now in theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home, the next official entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is set to release on July 4th. Everything beyond that is still in limbo.
