Saturday Night Live throws a real curveball in spoof of classic ‘Dead Poets Society’ scene

Warning: It's not for weak stomachs.

It isn’t completely necessary to have watched Dead Poets Society to get a kick out of Saturday Night Live‘s spoof of the movie’s classic final scene. Even if you have, it’s worth re-watching Mr. Keating, played by Robin Williams, saluted by his former students with the famous line “Oh Captain, My Captain.”

In a what’s being called a high note of a season finale, SNL put their own, um, spin on Mr. Keating’s farewell scene.

Yeah. Didn’t see that coming.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Robin Williams’s character as Mr. Bunting.
