Baby Yoda Threatens Baby Groot Again on Saturday Night Live

By Adam Barnhardt - May 15, 2022 12:44 am EDT

Baby Yoda is back. Kyle Mooney's controversial character has finally returned to Saturday Night Live, and his everlasting feud with Baby Groot hit a new high—literally. Throughout his rant on the show's "Weekend Update" segment, Mooney joked that his character has found a newfound hobby of smoking cannabis, even threatening to grind Baby Groot up enough that he'd be able to smoke the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy character.

As with similar sketches in the past, fans weren't hot on the bit, with a substantial amount of SNL viewers hoping they finally pull the character once and for all. Even then, the live sketch comedy invested in a new look for the character, updating his makeup this time around to include blonde hair and a goatee.

Bye

Update #2: Baby Yoda. I did not want to see this again. Yet, if we got it, I thought this was one of the better iterations, particularly the photo of his cult (I got a real guilty laugh out of seeing Tila Tequila). This feels like a goodbye to Kyle. I hope it is. #SNL

NSFW

Baby Yoda is the worst fucking character Kyle Mooney has ever done, which is saying something. Worst Update guest by a mile. #SNL
