Okay, Lady Gaga is no stranger to throwing us off course with her unfiltered imagination, but this time, she truly outdid herself. Imagine strolling into Friendly’s, the nostalgic diner where the only thing darker than the lighting is the ice cream sundaes. Now, picture this: instead of just a birthday serenade, you’re getting a full-on satanic ritual—complete with cloaked staff, demonic summoning, and a heart served on top of a sundae.
Yeah, this was exactly the kind of sketch that left SNL audiences unsure whether to laugh or cringe or start eyeing the nearest exit.
In this latest SNL sketch, Gaga flipped the script on a simple birthday prank at the classic Friendly’s diner, transforming it into a blood-soaked spectacle that only she could pull off. As the friendly waitress, Daphne, Gaga orchestrates a demonic birthday surprise that spirals into an ice cream-fueled nightmare. The results? A spectacle so jarring that it made some fans squirm while others reveled in the madness.
Lady Gaga’s SNL moment: The ‘birthday sundae’ gets a hellish upgrade
So here’s the setup: Four friends sit down at Friendly’s, a restaurant seemingly stuck in time. One of them, Jenny (played by Heidi Gardner), tries to pull a fast one by claiming it’s her birthday. You know, the old free-sundae trick. But the Friendly’s staff, led by Lady Gaga as Daphne, aren’t buying it.
The next thing you know, they’re summoning demons, sacrificing Jenny, and – in the most absurd twist – serving her still-beating heart on a sundae. Seriously?
The thing is, it’s so outlandish that it circles back around to being hilariously brilliant. Who could have predicted that the waitstaff at a chain restaurant would be secretly running a cult on the side? Certainly not fans– but here we are, staring at a demonic performance that blends dark humor with Gaga’s signature theatricality.
Still, not everyone is laughing. Some fans are squirming, and we can’t say we blame them. The sudden shift from lighthearted birthday fun to a sacrificial ritual left a lot of people with… well, the icks.
The Uncomfortable aftertaste: Art or… devil worship?
Lady Gaga’s ritual didn’t just spark laughs – it set off a storm of opinions online. Some fans couldn’t get enough of the dark humor, praising the Bloody Mary singer for her commitment to the bizarre. One fan quipped, “Jesus will return, and when he does, he’s stopping by Hollywood to clean up the mess.” Yikes. The backlash wasn’t all that surprising.
And it’s true – as funny as it might seem in the context of sketch comedy, some feel like this crossed into uncomfortable territory. “Parody devil worship is still devil worship,” one fan pointed out, echoing concerns that such sketches might go too far in normalizing certain themes. Let’s read a few comments:
SNL is facilitating what has been happening. I’d bet money on it that they did this so that when the stories start coming out they can say it was art or it was just a skit… Hollywood thinks America is enamored with them and will accept there explanation. They are incorrect.

Trying to mix in Satanism and comedy. I wonder who pitched this at rehearsals. They’re not even hiding it anymore.

Not funny at all.

But let’s not forget that Gaga was also the musical guest, delivering powerhouse performances from her latest album MAYHEM, including tracks like Abracadabra and Killah. In between the chaos of the ritual, she slipped effortlessly into the role of a singer and showstopper, proving once again why she’s a true chameleon of entertainment.
Moreover, Gaga’s SNL appearance was a wild ride, as expected. The satanic ritual was equal parts entertaining and unsettling. So, would you want to watch it again? Probably not. But do we respect her for diving headfirst into the weird, the dark, and the whimsical? Oh, you bet we do.
Lady Gaga’s SNL sketch was a chaotic, hilarious, and somewhat cringe-worthy moment that left us with one undeniable fact: with her, you never know what to expect – but it’s always something worth remembering.
