In what could possibly be the best 'Saturday Night Live' sketch of the year, the cast taps into what most of us already knew -- Adele's 'Someone Like You' is the saddest song EVER!

The hilarious skit, which aired at the very end of last Saturday's show [Nov. 12], starts off innocently enough with a group of co-workers about to leave for Happy Hour. One of the group stays behind though, bummed out by the loss of a big business pitch. It's then things take a turn for the funny, when she begins blasting 'Someone Like You' and weeping openly at her desk.

Of course she gets busted as co-worker after co-worker returns to the office and eventually begin singing along/crying uncontrollably to the sad, sad tune. As Kristen Wiig's character so succinctly puts it: "Ladies I'm no dummy. You both needed a good cry, so you were listening to Adele's 'Someone Like You.' Everyone with a heart and an iTunes account does.'

Soon, it's not just the actors having a weepy sing-along. As the camera pans to musical guests Coldplay behind-the-scenes, the audience catches them holding each other as they cry along with the comedians on-stage.

To check out the "funny because it's true" skit, hit play below and fast-forward to the 52 minute mark. (Warning: You may want to watch with some tissues handy!)
