So, naturally, we were treated to a fresh spoof of the buzzy HBO show, currently in its third season. The parody, simply titled “Girl,” takes Lena Dunham’s character, Hannah, and her boyfriend Adam back to biblical times, imagining how their meandering lives would play out among the forbidden fruit and talking snakes of the Garden of Eden, instead of the coffee shops and warehouse parties of Brooklyn. Turns out, that life would be pretty hilarious. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/17262/lena-dunham-snl-girls-adam-and-eve-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/17262/lena-dunham-snl-girls-adam-and-eve-parody/"},"headline":"SNL Imagines Girls Set in Biblical Times, and There's Still Plenty of Nudity","datePublished":"2014-03-09T13:51:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:37.216Z","description":"Girls star and creator Lena Dunham, who hosted the comedy sketch program for the first time Saturday night, trades Brooklyn for the Garden of Eden in this latest spoof of the Golden Globes–winning hit HBO series","url":"https://time.com/17262/lena-dunham-snl-girls-adam-and-eve-parody/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","girls","lena dunham","NBC","SNL","Saturday Night Live","Arts","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7417df470720e7ab/6986849acd6848ccda093819/screen-shot-2014-03-09-at-10-18-29-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7417df470720e7ab/6986849acd6848ccda093819/screen-shot-2014-03-09-at-10-18-29-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-03-09 at 10.18.29 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/17262/lena-dunham-snl-girls-adam-and-eve-parody/","name":"SNL Imagines Girls Set in Biblical Times, and There's Still Plenty of Nudity"}}]}] ```
