Robbie is a woman recognized both for her talent and for her looks, and she got to use the former to flip the script on the expectations involved with the latter in a sketch titled “The Librarian.”
The sketch has five college students (played by SNL’s Bobby Moynihan, Kenan Thompson, Kyle Mooney, Mikey Day, and Alex Moffat) obsessing over a sexy librarian named Ms. Dalton, played by Robbie.
The students end up getting more than they bargained for when Dalton decides to indulge in their fantasies, but her idealized looks begin to fall apart in the process. Check out the sketch below.
You can definitely see Robbie tapping into her Harley Quinn character from Suicide Squad as Ms. Dalton takes on an increasingly manic demeanor.
It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
Suicide Squad is still playing in theaters.
