This skit from Saturday Night Life was presented live from the show's studio in New York City. It is based on a general perception of 1950's schooling in America, which can be seen through the costuming, language, and expressions used throughout. The skit deals with the token "naughty" students who disrupts class. Other students fit stereotypes common in 1950's television shows like Leave it Leave it to Beaver and The Andy Griffith Show. Gilly, the main character, played by Kristen Wigg, harasses the students and teacher throughout. Kristen Wigg who has been hailed as Saturday Night Life newest and biggest star and a comic genius, played the main charcter well and personified the stereotypical "bad" student that cannot be helped through the education system of 1950's. Themes that appear in this skit include: behavior, stereotypes, bullying, student-teacher relations, and childhood.
