Green Flags

In this Cut for Time sketch from Saturday Night Live Season 51, a man (Martin Herlihy) invites a woman (Ashley Padilla) back to his apartment after what seemed like a great first date. As he proudly shows off the many 'green flags' that make him a good partner, the visit takes an increasingly unexpected and unsettling turn when he reveals a collection of strange, elaborate handmade sculptures, leaving her more weirded out than charmed.
