After becoming a runaway box office success, director Jordan Peele's latest horror movie, Us, has doppelgängers of a family on vacation staging a home invasion in an effort to replace them. Critically acclaimed, a sketch from the latest episode of Saturday Night Live shows how the creepy doubles make a living in their day jobs.
In a mock Discover card ad, parodying the credit card's recent ad campaign that has the same actor play both the customer and client service representative on the phone, cast members Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson take on the roles of Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke's characters from the film instead.
As Nwodim's character calls Discover to notify them of suspicious purchases made on her card involving red jumpsuits, rabbits and a very big pair of scissors, her Tethered doppelgänger answers the call, complete with the same wild-eyed expression, creepy movements and distinct speaking pattern.
When Thompson's character attempts to handle the call, he finds a very different response on the other end of the line.
In theaters now, Us is written, directed and produced by Jordan Peele. The film stars Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Anna Diop, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Kara Hayward, Tim Heidecker and Shahadi Wright Joseph.
