While this ultra-sensual Zillow ad from Dan Levy‘s Saturday Night Live debut was a true winner, here’s another must-see sketch featuring the Schitt’s Creek creator that was ultimately cut for time.
The skit skewers over-the-top “men’s” beauty marketing, advertising ‘Skin Ammo by Man Stain’ — a line of makeup products for guys who are “too masculine” to buy makeup. It’s likely referring to a very real and nearly-as-comical brand, “War Paint.”
“I’m sorry, what is Man Stain?” Levy asks.

“It levels up your mug for peak appearance performance,” responds the narrator.
“So it’s makeup,” Levy reasons.
“Nah dude, makeup is for girls.”

He is so damned hilarious, love him!

That was funny….I wonder why it was cut? But Dan Levy is just so awful….it’s painful to watch. The man cannot act, is not the least bit funny. He’s like the Ben Platt of TV…..a minor talent gay man who has a powerful father. It show’s you what a difference connections make in Hollywood…..

But Dan speaks so highly of you!

Beachman, the article states it was cut for time, meaning they cut it due to not having time to play it in the show. As for Levy’s acting skills, I’ll admit he isn’t extremely versatile, but personally I love his performances. He’s just the right amount of “flame” + “queen” without being obnoxious. To me he’s like many actors and actresses, they don’t really appear to act so much as they seem to just be themselves. IDK if Levy would be as likeable playing some macho dude in a western, but then again, I doubt he would even take the part. Bottom line for me is, he’s entertaining and enjoyable to watch and gay or not, that’s what I look for in my entertainment. As for his “connections”, show me someone who doesn’t utilize any “connections” they have to move forward in life and I will show you a loser.

I liked this one a lot better than that insufferable ” Hot damn ” sketch…some of those forgotten song sketches are funny but most of them are just awkward and dumb. This was the latter. But Levy was pretty good overall Saturday night. I would have loved to see him do a ” Chad ” sketch with Pete.
