Let's just say McKinnon and David did a good job of replicating the heated atmosphere of Thursday's debate.

But the sketch's centerpiece came when host Julia Louis-Dreyfus resurrected Elaine Benes, the character she played on Seinfeld, for a question from the audience.

When David's Sanders couldn't quite go into detail on his plans to break up the big banks, he relied on a term made famous by the show: "Yada yada yada."

The whole bit was basically just an excuse for everyone to go back and watch the original scene on YouTube, so we dug it up for you.
