There are a few things we know after three weeks of watching this season of The Bachelor. First, Arie Luyendyk Jr. has been on a ~ journey ~ when it comes to love: He was on The Bachelorette five years ago, when he got his heart shattered by Emily Maynard. He’s also friends with former Bachelor Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, who are happily married with a baby. And he races cars. Otherwise, the guy is still kind of a mystery, even after hours of watching him watch a dozen women wrestle and crash into each other like bumper cars. Luckily, the season has given SNL plenty of material for its tradition of Bachelor parodies—giving us an almost too realistic impression of Arie and the women competing for his heart along the way.

Arie (played by Alex Moffat) is introduced as “Car Hunk,” who, “depending on the light, is handsome.” He meets all of the female contestants during a cocktail party before a rose ceremony and tries to get to know them. Of course, they each interrupt the conversations, asking, “Sorry, can I steal him for a sec?” The girls rotate in and out of the frame, sitting next to Arie and saying, “Mmm, I like this”—never really bonding with the Bachelor at all. Melissa Villasenor’s impression of short-haired Bekah is also dead-on brilliant.

SNL has done some pretty amazing parody sketches of past Bachelors, including Chris Soles as “Farm Hunk”, Ben Higgins as “Bland Man”, and Nick Viall as “Beard Hunk”. You might as well pull up a chair now, because they’re all gold.
