I didn't find it all that funny. Like, it was clever, but I thought it was totally unnecessary. In a different sketch, it would have been funnier.

it was completely RANDOM.
and random does not always equal funny

Maybe random in that calculated, fake-spontaneous way that the word is for some reason now exclusively used to mean, but otherwise no the humor in that sketch is pretty straight.
I maintain that it was alright for SNL (premise actually had a lot of potential, and a great Daniel Day-Lewis impression), but that they should have done something more than "here are three things he said in the movie." Good god it's not like constructing actual jokes is difficult when you're dealing with a 3 hour film that is essentially a cheat sheet of character traits & relationships.
Also if there is anything worse than Juno dialogue it is parody Juno dialogue.
woop woop taking lowest-common-denominator late night sketch comedy pretty seriously up in hurrr

fake-spontaneous? if that were so, i would have been able to predict when and how they're gonna throw the juno dialogue up in thurrr.
but i could not.
so to me it seemed like real spontaneity.
shrug.
Johnny C:
His Plainview is dead-on but the skit isn't well-written at all.

I mean there's always kind of a surprise reaction to seeing a wacky crossover, but "popular film character interacts with other popular film character" is not reaching very far into absurdity
