Last night, Saturday Night Live showed their love (?) of curling, which really was just an excuse to make bad Gyne-Lotrimin jokes while showing an ESPN Classic curling match from 1987.

While the “classic” match featured Finland and Paraguay, the only part of the SNL skit that was at all entertaining was Will Forte’s portrayal of Greg Stink, while Jason Sudeikis played the slightly-less dim Pete Twinkle. The constant Gyne-Lotrimin jokes definitely got old, especially since they weren’t funny in the first place.
