Quinta Brunson, Sarah Sherman, and Benson Boone made it to SNL this weekend.

The Abbott Elementary actress joined the comedian cum actress on-stage this Saturday right alongside Boone, a singer infamous for his acrobatics. During this week's segment, the latter showed off some of his backflip skills, prompting fans to take to X to poke fun.

Here's how one user reacted, for instance:

"When men have no talent they just backflip"

The comments and jokes didn't end there:

"Flipping is his only personality I swear," someone joked.
"I'm sorry I love him," another quipped.
"he always doing tm," one user jested.
"why he always doing that ??" yet another hilariously probed.

Here's how the rest of X is reacting:

"He should of just signed up to become an athlete, I mean he can barely sing might as well just go with acrobatics," one naysayer suggested.
"everyone says they want male popstars to try harder and be unique until benson boone does it," someone else pointed out.
"Does he ever do anything else other than flips," yet another probed.
"This is hilarious yall need to stop being so damn dramatic," one X user pointed out.

Users could not help but join the discourse with memes and instances of Benson Boone doing a flip.

During the May 1 episode, Quinta Brunson, who served as host, invited Boone out onto the stage, only for him to miss his cue.

“Huh, he was supposed to flip into frame,” Sherman said, prompting Brunson to worry, “Yeah, I hope he’s OK.”

It was only when the two women began calling out to him did the singer backflipped his way onto the stage. In the second promo, Quinta Brunson can be seen keeping a dizzy Beautiful Things singer from doing another one, hilariously muttering, “He be flippin’,” to herself.

Towards the end of their segment, Sherman also volunteered to give acrobatics a shot, albeit with a concerning “I’ll figure it out!" However, the comedian was left flat on the floor and unable to move as an on-set medic tended to her fake injuries and limbs bent in unnatural ways.

Quinta Brunson made her hosting debut back in April 2023. At the time, she reflected on her dream of hosting the show since she was a child. She also ended her segment with a message on behalf of all teachers:

“Please, remember how important teachers are. Acknowledge the work they do every day and for the love of God, pay them the money they deserve.”
