Shane Gillis Drops Accidental ‘F-Bomb’ During ‘SNL’ Dr. Seuss Sketch

Shane Gillis, a stand-up comedian, found himself in an unfortunate situation during a Dr. Seuss-themed sketch on "Saturday Night Live." While playing the role of Zackary, an overprotective son, Gillis unintentionally dropped an F-bomb while defending his father, played by Mikey Day, from persistent questioning by Sam-I-Am, portrayed by Andrew Dismukes.

The sketch involved Day continuously asking Day why he didn't like green eggs and ham, to which Gillis responded, "He said he doesn't fucking like them." The comedian broke character immediately after the accidental outburst, exclaiming "Oh no!" and waving in apology to the audience. Gillis then turned to his scene partner Dismukes, who comforted him with a reassuring pat on the back.

Dismukes later incorporated Gillis' flub into the sketch when he confronted his son and kicked him out of his house, accusing him of being a "loser" for using a bad word. Gillis later expressed regret for his slip-up with a simple "Sorry about that" at the end of the sketch.
