Nate Bargatze & Dave Grohl Team Up for Hilarious Country Music Spoof on 'SNL'
Dave Grohl steals the show in this hilarious 'SNL' sketch, playing a cringe-worthy uncle on a lake beach outing Get ready to laugh out loud at his incredible comedic timing and spot-on portrayal of everyone's least favorite relative
Ever experienced autumn in the Southern region? If not, this humorous skit will offer you a glimpse of the overall atmosphere. Highlighting his Tennessee roots in his monologue, Saturday Night Live's host Nate Bargatze sets the stage for this entertaining spoof. Taking place during the time of year when the rest of the country is transitioning into fall, but the South remains sweltering at "90 degrees," the skit parodies a CMT music video that revolves around drinking at the "lake beach" and partying with your relatives. And yes, that includes your eccentric uncle who takes cornhole way too seriously, now portrayed by Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl.
The "lake beach" offers a wide range of activities that might seem perilous, such as encountering a floating diaper, avoiding snapping turtles that have a taste for mischief, and venturing into a bat-filled cave. Despite the potential hazards, it captures the carefree essence of a time when the rest of the United States is preparing for the chilly winter months, while those in the South continue to embrace shorts and warmth.

The highlight of the sketch was undoubtedly Grohl's portrayal of a peculiar, overzealous uncle who takes the game of cornhole a tad too seriously. Sporting an absurd polo shirt and yellow goggles, Grohl exclaims, "If you're old enough to play, you're old enough to follow the rules." With the Foo Fighters serving as the musical guests this week, it's a delightful sight to witness Grohl join in on the sketches as well. Take a look at the "Lake Beach" music video below.
