1. Trolling Alabama Football

College sports has been mocked for its grading system, that has allegedly helped players succeed with easy assignments to get on the field. So, in one of his first skits of the evening, John Cena and “SNL” took aim at Alabama football, trolling them for how they treat their football players in the classroom.

Cena had to show off his science project to his teachers, which were overly lenient to him since he’s on the football team. They let him get by with a project that had him nailing bananas to a piece of wood. Each banana was in a different stage. This compared to another person’s particle accelerator (The Flash?), who got a 20-percent while Cena’s character got 100.

Given that Cena looks like a jock, he easily passed off for a “dumb jock” and played the role great. He acted idiotically while everyone bought it just so he could play football. This sold the character well, especially when the statements he made seemed to get sillier every time he spoke. The peanut butter jelly time bit may have been the best of them.
