This week's episode paid tribute to Nicole Kidman's iconiqué AMC ad where she claims, "Heartbreak feels good in a place like this."

However, the sketch puts a hysterical and truly genius twist on the now-beloved commercial.

It starts off almost exactly the same with Nicole Kidman (Chloe Fineman) walking into the theater from the rain.

And we have beat-for-beat shots recreating the weird, futuristic movie hallway.

And the infamous sliver, pinstriped suit.

The script of the sketch is nearly word for word the same as the ad that inspired it.

There's something so inherently funny about the original that Fineman gets plenty of laughs from just reciting the ad copy in an Australian accent.

But things start to go a bit awry when Kenan Thompson's character sits down, just trying to enjoy the movie.

After she delivers THE line, one by one the movie goers stand up and begin chanting, "Heartbreak feels good in a place like this!"

And the ad that has gained a cult following becomes an actual cult itself.

Honestly sign me up! I'll follow where you lead, Nicole!

And heightening the joke just about as far as it can go, Nicole becomes an all-powerful god, capable of floating and shooting electricity out of her eyes while her legion of followers salute her. LOL.

This is the kind of church I can get behind.
