"The U.K. version of the show debuted this weekend, with the added bonus of the cast being able to curse on the air. Tina Fey's opening monologue featured an appearance from Michael Cera saying the word 'bollocks.'"
"The sketch, framed as a Weekend Update segment, also fell into the long-running bit in which Sherman torments Colin Jost. In this case, Sherman wore an absurdly muscled costume and bombarded Jost with an impenetrable array of slang."
"Maxxington is a solid addition to Sherman's repertoire of SNL characters, though it's also easy to see why this sketch didn't make the final cut: it's a bit long and the final beat doesn't quite land."
"As of this writing, it's already been viewed 1.8 million times, more than the majority of the sketches that actually aired during last week's episode."
The U.K. version of Saturday Night Live premiered, allowing cast members to use profanity. NBC released a cut sketch featuring Sarah Sherman as Chad Maxxington on YouTube. The sketch parodied looksmaxxing, including extreme measures for physical enhancement. Although the sketch was lengthy and had a weak ending, it resonated with viewers, amassing 1.8 million views online, surpassing many aired sketches. This indicates a potential for more appearances of the character Chad Maxxington in the future.
