Netflix actually made a Short-Ass Movies category after Saturday Night Live sketch

The powers that be at Netflix saw a recent Saturday Night Live sketch and thought to themselves, "Good idea."

The streaming giant created a new category for subscribers titled "Short-Ass Movies" after getting the idea from an SNL sketch that aired this past weekend during Jerrod Carmichael's episode.

The pre-taped segment saw Pete Davidson, Chris Redd, Red Rocket star Simon Rex, and rapper Gunna musically muse about how they are always in need of "a really short movie" that's at most an hour and 40 minutes long. Not something like The Batman with a nearly 3-hour runtime.

"Three hours, 47 minutes? Bro, you must be crazy. No thanks, I'mma watch a short-ass movie like Driving Miss Daisy," Davidson rapped in the bit.
