Kate & Pippa Middleton On 'SNL'... With Makeovers! (VIDEO)

It was ladies' night on "Saturday Night Live" last night, so it was only appropriate that two of our favorite ladies, Kate and Pippa Middleton, made a grand appearance.

"SNL" took their best stabs at the Middleton girls as well as Prince Philip (a.k.a. the Duke of Edinburgh), Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William. And being the amateur royal experts we are, it's our duty to weigh in: how did the royal dopplegangers look?

Our first impressions: we've got to give it to the "SNL" costume department for nailing the queen's pastel skirt suit, curly gray bob and occasional glasses. As for Prince Philip, he usually appears in a navy suit, not beige... but we'll let "SNL" off the hook, considering they got the hair (or lack thereof) spot on.

As for "Prince William and Princess Catherine," let's just say the costume department was very generous. The prince, played by Andy Samberg, got quite the head of hair (although he also had a line about trying on toupees for the BAFTAs) and "Princess Catherine" got a royal boob job (just the thing to "get Willy's juices flowing!").

But Pippa, as always, hit the highest marks. "SNL" practically recreated one of her October outfits, with a cobalt dress and a black blazer, and they kept her hair appropriately straighter and less bouncy than her sister's.

Of course, her bottom could not compare with the queen's... dressed in royal drag, Fred Armisen boasted of his assets: "I call my ass 'the IRA'... when I walk into a pub, people's heads explode!"

LMAO, I love these characters. My favorite was the week Elton John hosted. The Queen summoned him to talk about the musical selections for Kate and William's wedding. Queen was all finger-snappy with Elton, and both of them were going off on each other. I laughed during the entire skit.

When you have all that airtime and all of that money from sponsors to spend you can do anything. Just turn on an NFL game, you'll see what I mean.

I'm guessing people didn't get the humor. It's pretty funny. The IRA mention had me in stitches. Guess it's a generational thing.

I'm sorry, I fell asleep within the first five minutes. After all, it is SNL! I wish someone would bring back "The Midnight Special".

The skit was pretty lame, but Katy Perry looked better as Pippa than she does as herself.

"Ricky Gervais is here and the hounds won't stop attacking him." Funniest Skit Ever! "Your majesty it's time to record the royal christmas message to the commoners."

I agree, this was beyond tasteless, and not remotely funny. But, they usually have one or two very funny sketches each show. Thank heaven for DVR...... zoom. And there are some talents on staff, Kristin Wiig, as well as Fred Armisen, are as good as any of their predecessors.

How on Earth is this a style article? It was a comedy skit on a comedy show featuring a celebrity guest. The first thing I think of when watching SNL is NOT "Ooooh, that's a nice dress Katy Perry is wearing. I wonder who picked it out for her."

Not funny at all. They didn't even get the accents right. Reallly, really, a stretch to find any humor in this. Embarrassing.

I think the accent was meant to be Cockney as in making 'classy' Brits lowlife commoners :-) That was part of the joke, too.
