There is something amiss with the SNL star in her Verizon ads, says Kelly Conaboy. "The advertisements from spring and summer showed something amiss," says Conaboy. "McKinnon approaches the screen hunched, as if she is a server at a movie theater that also offers food and cocktails, making her way to a customer’s seat. Verizon offers no explanation. When interacting with supposed Verizon customers, and walking to the left or right, McKinnon walks upright, and for a moment we are at ease...Is Kate McKinnon being made to stand in a too-small cage at Verizon headquarters while inactive? Is the job of carrying two large water buckets between takes included in her contract?"

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that's noticed this. She's shuffling around like an old man. I'm guessing that she's walking that way for comedic effect.

I had never even seen that commercial before.

This is the one that I was referring to.

That hunchback routine she does for no apparent reason is odd to say the least but then so is the whole modern day cast of SNL. It's unwatchable.
