WATCH: Saturday Night Live have boldly attempted a Love Island sketch starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Love Island SNL

We’re not quite sure what to make of this.

Remember when almost every single conversation that was going on in your office was about Love Island?

It was less than two months ago, even though it feels like a long time ago.

Well, in a relatively untimely move, Saturday Night Live have released a Love Island sketch, starring everyone’s favourite actress at the minute, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The accents are pretty dreadful, especially the “Irish” lady, who we can only assume is trying to be Maura Higgins.

However, it does kind of sum up the show as a whole, with the narrator saying: “You will watch 50 hours of this. You think you won’t, but you will.”

But if you ask us, the sketch is not only about two months too late, but also quite rubbish.

Take a look here and decide for yourself:

It’s not the absolute travesty that was the Saoirse Ronan sketch from last year, but it’s not a great deal better.

Waller-Bridge’s opening monologue however, was absolutely gas.
