Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:06Two customers walk into Bubu Mobile while an employee finishes a lively phone call in Spanish.
  2. 0:58Phones come out to a dance routine, and the customers notice how tight the jeans are.
  3. 1:28Asking for a manager brings in Ernesto, who enters dancing just as hard.
  4. 2:15An offer to pay full price upfront sets off a celebration from both workers.
  5. 2:53The staff lift a customer into the air, praising his "batatas."
  6. 4:20The phone question gets its answer before the store turns into a party.

The sale is the hard part. At Bubu Mobile, the phone store in Saturday Night Live's latest Druski-episode sketch, the staff have other priorities: dancing, calling everyone family and celebrating anyone who pays.

Druski and Marcello Hernández play the employees. Mikey Day and Jeremy Culhane are the customers who walk in wanting a new phone. A title card sums up the premise: "Two Men Attempt To Make A Purchase At A Dominican Phone Store." The scene opens with one employee finishing a rapid call in Spanish before greeting them with "Welcome to Bubu Mobile, eh? You came to the right place, papi."

The phones arrive on a dance step. Asking for the manager, Ernesto, only brings more choreography. A request for a "Flip 17" gets mocked, and an offer to pay full price upfront sets off a full celebration ("Papi, that is the scenario of the best case"). Then the staff discover the customer's calves, lift him into the air and explain that "batata" means calf but also sweet potato.

The sketch drew roughly 912,000 views since yesterday, and its comment section filled nearly three times faster than a usual SNL first day. Much of the talk is about the wardrobe: the white belt and matching loafers, and the tight pants. Several viewers say Hernández, who has Dominican roots and joined the cast in 2022, finally gets to play close to home. One commenter says his Dominican mother insisted she had met these two men in Washington Heights.
