A sketch featuring Chadwick Boseman ripping Karens on Saturday Night Live has gone viral all over again.
Since his death from colon cancer at the age of 43 at the weekend, people have been sharing clips, stories and tributes, but one video in particular has gone viral, more than two years after it was first aired.
As King T’Challa, he nailed this takedown of Karens, long before they’d boomed under pandemic conditions.

“I sense that this white woman does not season her food. And if she does, it is only with a tiny pinch of salt, and no paprika.
And she will probably add something unnecessary… like raisins.”
The sketch shows Chadwick could smash comedy out of the park, just as he did with drama and action.
It really took off when shared by writer Andy Isaac, who accurately described it as “freaking legendary”.

However, as Erik Williams observed …
