A hilarious historical comedy sketch from Saturday Night Live set during World War II. While American men are fighting overseas, a group of patriotic women step up to handle the heavy machinery and support the war effort inside a domestic weapons production factory. When an army public relations officer visits to find the perfect face for the iconic propaganda campaign, he must choose between regular factory workers and a pair of aggressive slug thumpers who continuously clash with the local supervisor over his medical exemption status. #SNL#SaturdayNightLive#RosieTheRiveter#KristenStewart#KateMcKinnon#AidyBryant#ComedySketch#WWIIComedy#LiveComedy#Humor

A representative from the Army's Public Relations Board visits a factory to find a model for the \"We Can Do It!\" poster. He meets a group of fiercely patriotic and aggressive female workers who express their intense desire to fight on the front lines. After a series of crude suggestions and outbursts, the representative selects Rosie as the face of the campaign.
Well, sir, I am honored you chose our factory to find the base of your new campaign.
The Weekend Do-It poster needs a gal who embodies the can-do spirit of America's women.
Well, these gals have that in spades. This is Rosie, a riveter.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Rosie the riveter. Say, that's got a nice ring to it.
And here's Donna, a shell-shiner.
I shine them up nice so the Germans see them coming.
Mmm, I like that spirit.
And finally, we have our slug-thumpers, who do some of the heavier work.
All right, we got a hot slug.
He said don't be proud.
Not for that sentiment when it was for you, Sammy.
Ladies, may I have your attention?
Yeah, cram it, you coward.
Every day with this, ladies.
Why ain't you over there killing Nazis, coward?
You know, any man with two walnuts in his dungaree should be over there.
I've told you I have asthma and was deemed unfit.
I got three sons over there fighting the Krauts, and one of them not even more than 12 years old.
You should be hanged.
Hey, who's this fella?
I'm from the Army's Public Relations Board.
We're producing a poster to encourage more women to come work in the factories.
He's looking for a model.
Ooh, well, look no further than the three of us.
Right here, sir. I'm Bob, this is Norma, and Dot.
Yo, uh, is this poster a nudie thing or what?
Because that's perfectly fine with us.
No, no, it'll be very classy.
Hey, if it helps the boys overseas, I'll take the twins out.
You would not be nude, ladies.
Lord, look, if getting a look at my plumbing means our boys will put a few more Krauts in the ground,
then I'll drop trowel, no problem.
It will just be a normal pose.
With the slogan, we can do it.
Any ideas?
Maybe something like this?
Or this?
Hmm, say, those weren't half bad.
Oh, wait, wait, what about this?
Oh, you're gonna love this.
Okay, this is good.
Okay, wait, imagine I'm Hitler, right?
Okay, and then I'm back here, and I got my cans out,
and, you know, I'm just smashing him
before his little poopin' mustache pops right off.
I'm the Statue of Liberty, and I got my jugs out,
and I'm watching him laughing my ass off.
That's perfect!
And that would go with the slogan, we can do it?
I mean, unless you got something better.
Remember, this poster's meant to encourage women to join the war effort.
Hey!
Who ain't already doing her part is a coward and a traitor,
just like him.
Oh, stop it, my asthma is very serious.
Oh, if they would just let us fight,
the damage we could do.
I wish I was over there.
I'd fight Hitler, I'd strip him naked,
I'd march him across Poland with the Lucky Strike stuff between his cheeks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd take down Hitler,
and I would shove his head right up my ass till he was dead.
What?
And you know what I would do?
I would shoot that Hitler eight times in the leg,
and then I'd say,
you want one more?
And he'd say,
nine!
God, we should be over there!
We got the job of war, come on.
I'm on the fence.
Just kidding, I'm not.
I'm scared of you.
I'm going with Rosie.
I'm sorry, ladies, but keep up the good work.
What do you do, you know?
Hey, you mind holding this for a second?
Sure.
Ow, dammit!
No, you're right!
You should get us over there!
And do your part!
Come on!
