The latest SEC Roll Call episode on YouTube opened the league’s “suggestion box,” and as expected, the results spiraled into pure comedic chaos.

Of course, Arkansas' nightmarish finish against the Ole Miss Rebels with a fumble in the last two minutes gave away what Razorbacks' coach Sam Pittman was certain would be a win.

The Hogs were trailing 41-35 until a pass from quarterback Taylen Green to wide receiver Jaylen Brown was punched out by Ole Miss defender TJ Dottery. The Rebels recovered and the Razorbacks' defense couldn't get the ball back.

Known for its satirical sketches poking fun at the quirks of SEC football, the weekly series from creator Matt Mitchell take that highlighted everything from game-day frustrations to long-running program narratives.

Mississippi State stole the show with the “largest margin of victory” award, while Alabama nearly lost its composure when confronted with the haunting blast of Vanderbilt’s foghorn.

Georgia, fresh off a rivalry win over Tennessee, leaned into the bit by barking at anything in sight, while South Carolina delivered its trademark inappropriate jokes.

The episode underscored how every SEC program carries unique traditions and baggage, all ripe for parody. That balance between humor and reality continues to make the series a weekly must-watch for fans across the league.

Arkansas heartbreak makes its way into laughs

The sketch didn’t shy away from one of the weekend’s biggest talking points with Arkansas handing the Rebels the win in Oxford.

In reality, Arkansas’ late turnover sealed a 41-35 defeat to the Rebels, pushing the Hogs to 2-1 on the season. Ole Miss backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, pressed into action after Austin Simmons’ injury, capitalized on the mistake. Pittman acknowledged after the game that “self-inflicted errors” remain the Razorbacks’ toughest opponent.

The sketch amplified that theme, with Arkansas reminding everyone that heartbreak defines the program’s history. From Clint Stoerner’s stumble against Tennessee in 1998 to recent SEC West struggles, for Razorback fans, the comedy was just yet another gut-punch moment.

Newcomers Texas and Oklahoma bring their flavor

The addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC has given SEC Roll Call even more material. In this episode, the Longhorns couldn’t stop “throwing trash,” a nod to fan behavior, while the Sooners took every chance to dish out “brisket burns.”

Both were subtle digs at how quickly the newcomers have settled into the SEC’s culture wars.

Texas A&M delivered one of the sketch’s biggest laughs by “shocking the conference.” Auburn, meanwhile, confirmed that Vanderbilt’s foghorn is indeed a real annoyance, while Ole Miss requested more heart medication to survive close games.

Florida lived up to its reputation by eating through the entire vending machine, and LSU kept tallying interceptions.

The running gags reinforced a truth about the series: it thrives when teams lean into their quirks, no matter how painful or silly those might be.

Tradition and parody collide

Missouri chimed in with a complaint about the heat, while Kentucky—predictably—was portrayed as still wrestling with coaching issues.

One of the best things with SEC Roll Call is that it captures both tradition and parody in one stroke, giving fans a way to laugh at the very storylines that frustrate them.

For Arkansas, though, the sting of another late-game mistake against Ole Miss is less comedic and more cautionary.

Still, the sketch underlined a truth SEC fans understand: humor is one way to process the heartbreak, and in this league, there’s never a shortage of material.
