'Unbelievable Dinner': The Good Neighbor Sketch That Won Over Steven Spielberg
In 2007, the sketch comedy group Good Neighbor—comprised of Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, Nick Rutherford, and director/editor Dave McCary—gained widespread recognition for their inventive and offbeat humor. One of their standout sketches, "Unbelievable Dinner," hilariously parodied the iconic imaginary food scene from Hook (1991), a film directed by Steven Spielberg. In the original Hook scene, Robin Williams' character, Peter Pan, is encouraged to use his imagination to see and indulge in an elaborate feast alongside the Lost Boys.
Good Neighbor took this beloved moment and added their signature absurdity, playing up the ridiculousness of imagining food that isn’t really there. With exaggerated performances and clever dialogue, they turned the scene into a surreal, over-the-top sketch where the characters’ enthusiasm for the imaginary meal is pushed to the extreme, creating a wildly humorous contrast to the nostalgia of the original.
The sketch garnered attention from none other than Spielberg himself, who was so impressed by the parody that he sent a personal letter to Mooney, Bennett, Rutherford, and McCary, praising their work. According to the group, Spielberg encouraged them to continue creating funny content and was amused by their unique take on the Hook scene. Receiving such high praise from a legendary director was a pivotal moment for Good Neighbor, solidifying their reputation in the comedy world and setting the stage for future success.
Their early work, including "Unbelievable Dinner," not only showcased their comedic talent but also foreshadowed their eventual rise to mainstream fame, with several members later joining Saturday Night Live.
