<p>Thank <em>God</em>. That's all we have to say about this weekend's <em>Saturday Night Live</em> game show, "Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney?" While almost every other scene from the Jamie Foxx-hosted show congealed in a murky mess around some stale ’90s racial humor (<a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/433375">Tyler Perry</a>! <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/433383">How Black Is That</a>! <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/433373">Tree Pimps</a>! <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/433386">Ding Dongs</a>! <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/433370">Bitch, What's the Answer?</a>), there was one joke that transcended its original premise, that all white guys look the same to black people. Totally on-point, they managed to get the two actors that no one (<a href="http://observer.com/2012/06/dermot-mulroney-not-dylan-mcdermott-to-join-one-of-those-steve-jobs-biopics/">not even us</a>) can tell the difference between ... not even the actors themselves.</p>

<p>Trying to explain the humor of this sketch to a friend, we ended up getting confused ourselves and saying Dylan Mulroney was the gay guy in <em>My Best Friend's Wedding</em>.</p>
<p>And hot tip: the "Swarovski Crystals" bit maybe had the best jokes-per-minute ratio of any Saturday Night Live sketch ... ever.<br />
