Aidy Bryant has played, by her own description, “teachers, principals, mothers, and women named Diane, Susan or Teacher,” for the past 10 years on “Saturday Night Live ”
So, could anyone blame her for wanting to portray a totally new character called “the Sexual Woman” — a “widely desired” woman who makes men “sick with feeling” over her love of spaghetti and “very good” personality?
And could anyone blame her for wanting to play this not-at-all “famous recurring role” opposite this week’s host, Oscar Isaac ? A man who some have argued is the sexiest man alive (though People hasn’t given him the official title yet) and is capable of creating incredibly steamy red carpet moments ?
“So, yeah, I lied to Oscar Isaac,” Bryant admitted in the sketch called “Aidy’s Dream.”
“Is that a crime?”
The rest of the skit — which takes the concept of the male gaze and turns it on its head — features Bryant in her accented fancy-lady best with just a smidge of her overly assertive hornball character .
Watch the video below for “the Sexual Woman” catchphrase and stay for skewering of frustrating stereotypes thrust upon women.
