Benedict Cumberbatch guest-starred on an episode of Saturday Night Live, and it made for a truly bizarre viewing experience.
One sketch, in particular, has divided audiences. The Oscar-nominated actor, dressed in cut-off jeans and a blonde wig, played a dim male stripper who gyrated for a frail grandmother (SNL comedian Aidy Bryant) - without realising that she had died just moments before.
He arrived dressed as a construction worker, promising a "delivery of some heavy wood" in a thick American drawl, before shimmying around Bryant's character and eating a cherry from her lifeless mouth.
Despite Cumberbatch's energetic performance, responses to the show on social media have been mixed, with many criticising the quality of the writing, while one fan wrote that the skit was "creeping me out".
