The "Saturday Night Live" parody of the Netflix hit "Old Enough!," which airs as "My First Errand" on Nippon Television in its home country, really hit the mark with viewers. While the Japanese series focuses on adorable young children participating in their very first solo errand under the watchful eyes of their guardians and the show's producers, the "SNL" version of the show focuses on long-term boyfriends — adult men — trying to pick up items for their girlfriends at a store.
In the sketch, Gomez portrays Kelsey, and Mikey Day plays her boyfriend, Matt. They've been dating for three years and Kelsey thinks it's time for Matt to go on an errand by himself. His trip to Sephora and the supermarket turns out imperfectly, and Kelsey realizes she needs to break up with him.
While the sketch focuses largely on Day's hapless Matt, a lot of the audience reserved its praise for Gomez's work. Fans commenting on NBC's upload of the sketch hosted on SNL's official YouTube page felt that Gomez's comic timing definitely set the sketch apart from the others on the show. "Loved this. I would actually watch this show. Selena's acting is on point!" wrote SelGogreen. "Selena Gomez really is an amazing actor, she can do ANYTHING," commented Swoop. The sketch has passed a million views on YouTube as of press time.
Vulture agreed with the actress' fanbase, spotlighting the sketch as one of the night's best in their recap of the episode and declaring, "Selena and Mikey both crushed this and made it the best sketch of the night."
