Saturday Night Live! has been accused of stealing this weekend’s Tina Turner sketch from well-known improv group, the Groundlings, and it’s like watching Bring It On all over again.

After seeing the sketch, the Groundlings didn’t take it too well, with Groundlings teacher, Ian Gary, ranting about how SNL has been stealing their material for years. In Bring It On, the Clovers, an "inner-city cheerleading squad," get fed up with the five time national cheerleading champs, the Toros, stealing their routines and show up at the Toros' football game to embarrass them, mimicking the stolen routine, eventually beating the Toros at nationals. 

Unlike Bring It On, it’s doubtful that the underdogs will defeat the champs.
