“Discover” the True Purpose of the Tethered from US in Hysterical SNL Skit

You know those commercial for Discover Card where someone calls a service line and talks to someone else who is exactly like them? It aligns with the card’s slogan “We treat you like you would treat you”. The writers at Saturday Night Live noticed a parallell between these commercials and Jordan Peele’s doppleganger horror Us, which arrived in US theaters a couple weeks ago.

“Discover” the true purpose of the Tethered in the video at the top of the article. If you haven’t seen Us for yourself yet, check out the synopsis and trailer below.

Synopsis:
Accompanied by her husband, son and daughter, Adelaide Wilson returns to the beachfront home where she grew up as a child. Haunted by a traumatic experience from the past, Adelaide grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen. Her worst fears soon become a reality when four masked strangers descend upon the house, forcing the Wilsons into a fight for survival. When the masks come off, the family is horrified to learn that each attacker takes the appearance of one of them.
