Female friendship has an edge (and Nicki Minaj) in cut 'SNL' song
Watch Next

Female friendship is a delicate wonder – just ask the women of SNL's cut "Female Friendship" sketch from the Tina Fey-hosted season finale on May 19. Fey, Aidy Bryant, and Kate McKinnon are just a few girlfriends at a bar, but make no mistake – they'll carve up your life to defend their friends.

A group of girlfriends goes to a bar and encounters a series of predicaments we've all been through; the person who refuses to remember you, the apathetic ex, the lying coworker. The ladies (and musical guest Nicki Minaj) sing about the joys of female friendship, like stalking someone you hate on Instagram and finding their every flaw because they insulted your friend. Who hasn't been there?

SNL will return in fall.
