Jamie Dornan leads SNL UK song roasting British tourists

8 hours 51 min ago

British tourists tend to get a bad rap at the best of times, and one of SNL UK's latest sketches gives an entertaining insight into why.

The clip above starts at the airport, with the cast getting ready to jet off to Spain — and excitement levels running particularly high for a visit to the local "British-themed pub" ("Just like Britain, but in Spain!" sing the cast).

Fortunately, when they do eventually decide to branch out and try somewhere else, guest host Jamie Dornan is happy to lend a hand — and you can probably guess where they all end up next.

Don't sleep on Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The sale event will soon wrap up, with price drops set to end after March 31.

For Apple users, these sale events are always super exciting — it's a rare chance to snag a device for significantly less. But time is ticking if you want to take advantage. There are still discounts on everything from MacBooks to AirPods. And if you've been hoping to get your hands on a brand-new smartwatch but refuse to pay full price, several Apple Watch models are still on sale, with savings of up to $300 on offer.

While Apple's Series 11 and SE 3 are getting attention for being the newest models, a few last-generation models deserve a spotlight during this Big Spring Sale. This is because you can pick up the Apple Watch SE 2 for just $189 (save $60), or the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $499 (save $300). If you don't mind an older model, they might be the way to go.

We're keeping this page updated with all the live deals that drop in the sale. The following models are the best Apple Watch deals you can shop today (and they're all still in stock). However, we're seeing low stock alerts on a few models, so it's best to hop on these soon.

So far, Amazon has the best prices, but we're also checking Best Buy, Target, and Walmart in case we see price drops that rival the current best deals on the market. Basically, we've got you covered for the best Apple Watch deals during this final stretch of the Big Spring Sale.

A $100 discount on the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 drops it to a record-low price, making it the perfect time to grab what our Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, calls the "Best Apple Upgrade." Mashable's Stan Schroeder agrees, noting the battery life alone is worth the jump. "Even if you already have a Series 10, which has nearly all the same features, the new Apple Watch Series 11 doesn’t require you to charge it mid-day in order to keep it going through the night," he writes.

If you just want a reliable smartwatch without paying for features you won't use, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the way to go. We named it the "Best for Most People" in our smartwatch guide because it packs the exact same S10 chip as the Ultra 3 and the same water resistance as the Series 11 — "all for $150 less than the Series 11."

Now that the Big Spring Sale is in full swing, the 40mm model is down to $219, saving you $30. It’s also not the only configuration on sale right now. We've rounded up a few other discounted SE 3 models below so you can pick your preferred setup and still save some cash.

I test laptops for a living — these are the best MacBook deals from Amazons Big Spring Sale

9 hours 32 min ago
A quick look at the best MacBook deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 15-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,099 (save $300) Get Deal Best MacBook Pro deal Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,799 (save $100) Get Deal Best MacBook Neo deal (that's barely a deal) Apple MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $689.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal Best New Release Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,049 (save $50) Get Deal

Time is running out on Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale. The sale event wraps up after March 31. But thankfully the deals are still going strong, with epic discounts still available and more price drops coming as the hours tick by.

The Big Spring Sale mainly revolves around seasonal essentials like cleaning supplies and outdoor gear, but it also boasts some very generous deals on must-have tech — including flagship Apple products such as MacBooks. And as Mashable's resident laptop expert, I'm very much on the case with these deals.

Apple actually just refreshed its MacBook lineup earlier this month, announcing updated MacBook Airs and Pros in addition to an all-new budget MacBook Neo. Most configurations of these new releases are seeing their very first (tiny) discounts during the Big Spring Sale, while their predecessors are priced to move at up to $300 off.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is surprisingly good: We found 111+ deals on Apple, DJI, Sony, and Dyson

Keep in mind that Apple has discontinued its last-gen MacBooks, which means they'll only be available on the refurbished market once third-party retailers' inventories dry up. If you see a good deal on an M4 MacBook Air or Pro at Amazon this week, don't wait too long to add it to your cart. A few configurations are starting to go in and out of stock, and they'll likely sell out long before this summer's Prime Day sale hits. With less than 48 hours to go, today is a great day to pull the trigger on a purchase.

I'll continue to monitor Amazon's Big Spring Sale MacBook deals as the sale continues into next week, so check back if nothing catches your eye just yet. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price. Deals with a strikethrough are no longer available at the time of writing.

The M4 MacBook Air may be a last-gen laptop, but it's still an incredibly capable ultraportable. (In our testing, it proved much faster than much pricier Windows laptops.) It has the same 12MP Center Stage webcam, Liquid Retina display, and 18-hour battery life as its new M5 counterpart, which just offers slightly faster performance and newer wireless connectivity. This 15-inch configuration with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage has never been cheaper.

Nine bucks off barely counts as a discount, but this is the best MacBook Neo deal I've seen outside of the Apple Store itself. (You can get $100 off there, but only if you're a college student, a parent of one, or school faculty.) This colorful little laptop has the same premium aluminum build as any other MacBook, and it boasts incredibly impressive single-core performance; in basic everyday tasks like web browsing, it's just as fast as an M4 MacBook Air. This particular model comes with Touch ID. It's worth noting that this discount only applies to the indigo and silver colorway variants.

$1,899 Save $100   Get Deal Why I like it

A MacBook Pro has more ports and a brighter, smoother display than a MacBook Air. It's also better at handling heavier workloads (like video editing) over a long period of time since it has fans. I recommend it as an upgrade pick for power users like content creators and developers. This current-gen M5 model is well future-proofed with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It's only $50 away from its record-low price from December.

Another configuration with an older, but more powerful M4 Pro chip is still in stock at the same price, though it comes with half the storage.

TL;DR: Amazon sellers have the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Box listed from $133.99 in the Big Spring Sale, while Walmart has it lower at $119.99 — $6 below the current $125.99 TCGplayer market price.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is continuing to drop gaming bargain, major Apple price drops, and Pokémon TCG deals, including Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes.

Since the Mega Evolution expansion launched in late January, ETBs have been selling out everywhere and steadily climbing in price, but Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has marked a point where the situation is seemingly changing. As of March 30, Amazon has third-party Ascended Heroes ETB listings starting at $133.99, while Walmart has it marked down to $119.99 from $149.99. Walmart is clearly the better buy right now, undercutting Amazon by $14 while also landing $6 below the current market price.

No matter which trading card retailer you buy from, the contents of your Ascended Heroes ETB will remain the same: nine Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes booster packs, one full-art foil promo card featuring N’s Zekrom, 65 card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, a player’s guide, six damage-counter dice, one competition-legal coin-flip die, one plastic coin, a collector’s box with six dividers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

As for the Pokémon TCG’s latest expansion ETB, the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Booster Box is still available for under $90. If you want the lowest cost per pack, you can still grab the Pokémon TCG Perfect Order Display Box for under $215.

Save on streaming in 2026: Score Spring Sale streaming deals on Paramount+, Spotify, Starz, and more

9 hours 55 min ago

The biggest story in the streaming world over the past 12 months (besides the confusing Warner Bros. situation)? Price hikes. So many price hikes. So, we could all benefit from some streaming deals right about now. We want streaming to be an escape, not a reminder of how excruciatingly expensive our lives have become.

Black Friday is the best time of year to score discounts on streaming apps, but any major sale or shopping holiday tends to deliver a few discounts. And Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which runs until March 31) is holding true to that trend. While the overall number of deals is no match for Black Friday, we'll certainly take any discounts we can get.

As Mashable's go-to streaming expert, I'm keeping a close eye out for streaming deals throughout the Big Spring Sale. While things started out slow, we've got some new additions from Roku, including add-ons for popular streaming services like AMC+, MGM+, and Starz. Prime Video add-ons are also starting to ramp up (finally). I'll keep updating this list as any new streamers join the party.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on the top deals

Below, I've rounded up the best streaming offers live during the sale. I've also included deals on streaming devices like Fire TV Sticks, as well as some evergreen streaming deals I think are worth grabbing.

Best streaming deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Paramount+ Paramount+ Premium $2.99/month for 2 months (save $22) Get Deal Why we like it

On the surface, this is the same offer as the streamer's Black Friday deal. However, because Paramount Plus hiked its prices in January, this Big Spring Sale discount actually saves you more money. It now costs $13.99 per month for the ad-free Premium plan and $8.99 per month for the ad-supported Essential plan.

Through March 31, you can lock in two months of either plan for only $2.99 per month. That saves you $22 if you choose the Premium plan (why wouldn't you?). Both new and ex-subscribers are eligible for this deal, and it's valid on Paramount+ as a standalone service or on the add-on subscriptions from Roku and Prime Video.

Psst. It's also worth mentioning that an extra discount code is floating around that could potentially knock the price down to just 99 cents per month for two months. However, it appears to work for some folks and not others. Try adding the additional promo code BG2L7M at checkout to see if you're one of the lucky ones.

Best streaming add-on deal Opens in a new window Credit: Starz Starz (Roku add-on) $2.99/month for 2 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

I think Starz is honestly one of the most underrated streaming services out there. It's home to Lionsgate theatrical hits, so you'll be able to watch recent releases like The Housemaid (starting April 1) and Greenland 2: Migration. Plus, it has its own original series that are worth watching, like the TV adaptation of Lisa Taddeo's book Three Women and the serial killer comedy Sweetpea. For a limited time, Roku users can score a Starz subscription for only $2.99 per month for two months and get a taste of what the streamer has to offer. It usually costs $10.99 per month, so you'll save about $16 on two months of streaming.

Best music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Spotify Spotify Premium free for 3 months (save $38.97) Get Deal Why we like it

If you've never tried Spotify Premium before, you can snag three free months of the music streaming service through March 31. Typically, it costs $12.99 per month, so you'll keep nearly $40 in your pocket with this deal. A Premium account unlocks ad-free listening, the ability to download music for offline listening and collaborate with friends in real time, 15 hours of audiobook time, and lossless audio. Plus, you'll get weekly listening stats and, should you choose to keep your subscription, access to the famous Wrapped stats.

Already tried Spotify Premium? Amazon Music Unlimited is also offering three free months of its streaming service through March 31. It regularly goes for $11.99/month for Prime members and $12.99/month for non-Prime members, so you can save up to $38.97 with this streaming deal. Besides unlimited music streaming, you'll also get access to one audiobook per month.

Best streaming device deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $17.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $22.00 Redeem the code FTVSELECT Get Deal Why we like it

The newest Fire TV Stick, the 4K Select, is the first streaming device in Amazon's lineup to shake things up in awhile. While it still offers the same plug-and-play design you know and love, it features a brand-new operating system called Vega. Given how laggy the previous operating system could be on Fire TV Sticks, we're pretty excited about this change. It also offers support for Alexa+, Amazon Kids+, Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and NordVPN, and delivers 4K quality with HDR10+ support.

As part of the Big Spring Sale, it's now down to just $14.99 instead of $39.99. Redeem the code FTVSELECT to access this discount.

The best Apple deals in Amazons Spring Sale — we found new lows on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is back for its third consecutive year, but there are just two days left — the sale wraps up after March 31. Thankfully, deals are still going strong, with price drops on such items as robot vacuums, TVs, and all kinds of daily essentials. And if there's one thing we can always guarantee, it's that this sale features a raft of much welcome deals on highly sought-after Apple devices.

Apple has kept us very busy so far in 2026. We've been hard at work testing the first-ever budget Neo MacBook, as well as the upgraded MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros, a new iPad Air, and the iPhone 17e. Next on our Apple to-do list: the AirPods Max 2.

With so many new Apple products, we're seeing a bunch of first-time discounts during the Amazon Spring Sale, as well as new record-low prices on last-gen models like the Apple Watch SE 2 and M4 MacBook Air. What more could you want from a major sale event? Just keep in mind that many of the older models are selling out fast at Amazon. If the model you want is no longer available, be sure to check the stock at Best Buy and Walmart. These retailers are matching many of the best Spring Sale deals.

We'll be tracking prices on AirPods, MacBooks, and iPads for the final two days of the sale, so keep checking back on this page for info on the lowest-possible prices across Apple products.

Best AirPods deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199.99 at Amazon

We've always been fans of the AirPods Pro, but the third generation really takes them to new heights. Mashable's reviewer called them, "without a doubt, one of the best products of the year" in 2025.

The latest premium buds feature outstanding noise cancellation (twice as good as the Pro 2), a solid eight hours of battery life with ANC on, and new foam-infused tips that come in five sizes to find the perfect fit. Apple also brought the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite earbuds for working out) and Fitness app compatibility to the new AirPods Pro 3, and introduced a live translation feature.

While we've seen the buds drop as low as $184 in the past, this Amazon spring sale discount is still worth grabbing.

Right now, get a 4-pack of 1st gen AirTags for just $59.99, the lowest price ever on the bundle. You wind up paying just $15 per AirTag. As of March 29, this pack of AirTags is out of stock at Amazon, but still available at Walmart and Best Buy.

Just launched earlier this month, the 13-inch M4 iPad Air is already on sale for $84.50 off. The base configuration with WiFi connectivity and 128GB of storage is now just $746.50 (normally $799). Mashable's tech editor took the M4 iPad Air for a spin and found it pretty impressive — too impressive for the average user, even. "It delivers iterative updates that improve an already stellar tablet," he writes in his review.

Apple released its new MacBook Air with the M5 chip this month, but honestly, they're not a whole lot different than the M4 Airs. The main differences are the upgraded processor and a new wireless chip. You can save some money by grabbing the M4 model with 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage, which is currently down to just $949 at Best Buy. Amazon had the same deal at the start of the Big Spring Sale, but it's since gone out of stock multiple times and jumped up to $999.

The Apple Watch Series 11 offers significant battery improvements over its predecessor. For that reason alone, it's worth the upgrade. It also features a tougher build with durable glass that's twice as resistant to scratches, 5G capability for quicker connectivity, and a Sleep Score and hypertension tool that can flag chronic high blood pressure. It's not a major upgrade (is anything in 2026?), but as Mashable's reviewer put it: "Buy it for the battery life." Now $100 cheaper, it's an even better value.

There are a lot of live TV deals live in Amazon Spring Sale. We're seeing big discounts on TCL TVs, Hisense TVs, Samsung TVs, and so much more. The savings on offer are impressive, but nothing comes close to the latest deal on the LG 97-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K G5 Series Smart TV.

We know this deal isn't for everyone. In fact, this deal is probably for a very small group of potential shoppers. But still, we can't spot a $5,000 discount and not make some noise. The LG 97-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K G5 Series Smart TV is on sale for $19,996.99 in the Amazon Spring Sale. That's $5,000 off the list price. Yes, it's a huge saving, but it's still an incredibly expensive TV.

The LG 97-inch G5 Series OLED is essentially the "final boss" of home entertainment. The 97-inch model is the only model in the G5 lineup that doesn't get the new Tandem OLED panel, so some serious engineering has gone into this astonishing product.

It's an enormous flex of a TV. This model is for someone who wants the scale of a movie theater with the perfect contrast and impact of an OLED screen.

The Pokémon TCG Prismastic Evolutions Booster Bundle is near market price on Amazon and Walmart

10 hours 29 min ago

TL;DR: Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle listed for $86.95, while Walmart has it a little lower at $82.99. That puts both retailers close to TCGplayer’s current $77.76 market price.

With Amazon’s Big Spring Sale continuing to pull more attention towards gaming deals, Pokémon discounts, and even offers on the latest Apple tech, the rare Prismatic Evolutions expansion is finally starting to dip in price.

Everything from ETBs and Booster Bundles to individual Booster Packs have become more scarce, and thus more valuable. But the Pokemon TCG’s biggest retailers have offered new deals on packs for a limited time.

As of March 30, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle priced at $86.95, while Walmart has it lower at $82.99. Amazon is still one of the easier places to shop during the sale, but Walmart now has the better price by $3.96. At Amazon’s current asking price, the six-pack bundle comes out to about $14.49 per booster pack. Walmart cuts that to around $13.83 per pack.

The more notable part is how near both listings now are to TCGplayer’s current $77.76 market price. Walmart sits just $5.23 above that figure, while Amazon is $9.19 over. That is still not a true under-market deal, but since readily available Prismatic Evolutions below $90 are so rare these days, this is the best deal we’ve seen in a good while.

That said, you’re still saving compared to buying Prismatic Evolutions packs individually. At Amazon, single Pokémon TCG Prismatic Evolutions Booster Packs cost $15.89 each, while Walmart is selling for a higher $19.88 — meaning you’d pay at least $95.34 for six packs separately. 

For more of the latest market-friendly prices in the Pokémon TCG, you can still grab the new Perfect Order Elite Trainer Booster Box for under $90. To get an even lower cost per pack, the Pokémon TCG Perfect Order Display Box is available for under $215.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is still running for a couple more days, so you still have time to save big on tech and household essentials. If you've been looking to upgrade your audio, you'll find incredible discounts across speakers and headphones. And that's not all, because there's some seriously impressive deals on open earbuds to consider.

Open earbuds are designed to sit just outside or at the entrance of your ear rather than sealing inside the ear canal. This means you can listen to audio while still hearing your surroundings, so they're useful for when you want to hear your music but retain some spatial awareness (like when running).

Right now, you'll find deals across all the major brands (like Shokz and Sony) with all price points available. Here are some of the best we've seen so far.

These open-ear earbuds are a comfortable choice for all-day wear, thanks to their lightweight build and secure ear hook fit. They give you an incredible listening experience with enhanced bass and clear highs, and optional Dolby Audio support via the app. Battery life gives you up to 11 hours of listening per charge, or 48 hours with the case, alongside a quick charging feature that gives you two extra hours from a 10 minute charge.

Apples Siri might get an AI app store of its own

12 hours 10 min ago

Siri's big overhaul will include integrations with various AI agents, and there will even be a marketplace for those in Apple's App Store.

This is according to a new report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims the changes are coming in iOS 27, which should get its first developer beta in June.

In an earlier report, Gurman said Siri is getting new AI smarts as a standalone app, similar to apps from OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic. Now, he says Siri will get a feature called "Extensions", allowing users to install third-party AI chatbots and run them inside Siri. Apple already did something similar with OpenAI's ChatGPT, but Extensions will allow for a wider choice of AI agents, and Extensions will get its own App Store section, turning it into an AI App Store of sorts.

Siri itself will get smarter thanks to Google's Gemini tech and Apple's own AI efforts. The idea, it seems, is for Apple to offer just enough functionality to keep people from switching to Android for better AI, and then offer additional features via third-party AI integrations, generating revenue through the App Store's 30 percent commission.

SEE ALSO: Apple's iPhone Fold may come later than we thought

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off on June 8, which is likely when Apple will officially unveil many of the features described above.
