Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid' visits Weekend Update to talk about pressure and expectations

We stan a problematic princess.

The discourse around the new portrayal of Ariel in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has been toxic, to say the least. But if there's one thing many have agreed upon, Halle Bailey's Ariel will be looked upon as an idol and hero to many young girls across the world.

Ariel disagrees.

Yes, that's right, Ariel played by Ego Nwodim, took a quick trip to talk to Colin Jost on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update to lower fan expectations. The princess made it clear that she is not our savior, but is in fact, a rich nepo-baby whose dad is "the king of the sea," and that the only reason she's here is because her mom "had sex with a tuna."

She hates the ocean, caused the BP oil spill, and strangely enough, supported the invasion of Iraq?

"It's got nothing to do with the sea," she told Jost. "Just wanted to get revenge for 9/11."

This version of Ariel perhaps isn't the hero we should be looking up to but maybe Bailey's is. Here's hoping when The Little Mermaid releases on May 26, 2023.
