SNL mocks Trump's 'bad hombres' and Alec Baldwin's brother in debate sketch

Saturday Night Live spoofed the third and final presidential debate without having to embellish that much.

Saturday Night Livespoofed the third and final U.S. presidential debate without having to embellish all that much.

Alec Baldwin once again played Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon took onHillary Clinton. At times, it seemed many of the lines were pulled straight from Wednesday's actual debate.

"People are just pouring into this country from Mexico," Baldwin/Trump told Fox News moderator Chris Wallace, played by guest host Tom Hanks. "Alot of them are very bad hombres."

The quote wasn't far off from what Trump said on Wednesday: "We have somebad hombreshere and we're going to get them out."

"Oh Bingo! I got Bingo!" McKinnon/Clinton jokingly responded by holding up a card that included a circled row of questionable terms associated with Trumpin the past, including"Miss Piggy" and"they're all living in hell."

"I've been playing all year."

Trump's own words were used against him once again when Trump/Baldwinrepeated another linefrom the debate: "Nobody has more respect for women that I do."

The mock audience was shown laughing hysterically, zooming out to show the earth.

"Alrightsettle down, entire planet, settle down," Wallace/Hanks said.

Baldwin/Trump later interjected thatMcKinnon/Clinton was "such a nasty woman" when she made a commentabout his taxes, another line ripped from reality.

Clinton, however, wasn't immune to the mocking. The sketchmade fun of the Democratic presidential nominee's ability to "pivot" away from answering pointed questions about herongoing email scandal.

"So you're just never going to answer a question about your emails?" Hanks/Wallace asked McKinnon/Clinton.

"No, but it was very cute to watch you try," she answered.

But the best jab of the mock debate didn't hit Trump or Clinton, but instead took aim at one of Baldwin's brothers, as SNL's Trump began listing his "cream of the crop" supporters.

"I've got Sarah Palin, I've got Chachi and get this, I've even got the best Baldwin brother, Stephen Baldwin."

Earlier this week, Stephen Baldwin, who is backing Trump for president, told CBS News that, while his brother had the Trump voice down "very well," he didn't think the spoof was very funny.

"I think it's getting a little too nasty now."

And SNL barely has to try, which might just be the least funny part.
