Social SNL has become vile!

Sounds like how I remember SNL back in the day. Jay Leno and Letterman too.

Cold openers were about how horny Clinton was or how dumb Bush Jr. was. Weekend update was always about politics. They can’t make too many jokes about other news stories because those are usually tragedies of some kind. Unless it’s about OJ. Who Leno constantly poked fun at too. Remember Elian Gonzalez? There’s an immigration story we never heard the end of.

Tina Fey is only famous because of Sarah Palin.

It’s always been that way.

Underrated Post. SNL always did politics, Clinton got it good. Left and Yes even the Rignt are just crybabies nowadays . People like to complain how the younger generation are soy boys but we (30-60) are the real soy boys. I'm ashamed of my pussy generation.

Been a fan of SNL for a very long time, and have seen most of the older stuff. I love New Yorker humor...very witty, offbeat, yet still classy at times.

But, since Trump's election in 2016, the show has taken a darker turn.

It's one thing to clown the President's inequities, much like they do with every Republican President (Chevy Chase has admitted on camera that SNL has a severe bias for Dems), but the comedians/actors who portray Trump, or those who play roles bashing Trump, have ALL been actors/comedians who have expressed a severe disdain for Trump in real life.

It's comedic to some extent, but there are times when the vibe/tone go beyond your typical joke/bit.

Not to mention, practically EVERY single episode since the election has revolved around Trump...EVERY "Weekend Update" is roughly 75% Trump "coverage"!

I was excited to see SNL, again, after their months-long hiatus, this weekend, but what I perceived was a new low, even for SNL. Chris Rock and Jim Carrey essentially wished malice, illness, death, etc. upon the President, who, regardless of your political affiliation, is still a fellow human being.

To make things worse, SNL has really been laying it on thick with the pedo jokes these past few years.

Anyone who watches it regularly can probably relate to my gripes.

Your thoughts?

SNL's shook.
 
I agree, SNL hasn´t been funny in years and is very biased.

That said, this is some funny shit, the exception

When Rob Schneider has to tell you you're unfunny, and you agree with him... that's pretty sad

Way to go Baldwin

Or maybe you're just a Maga guy who gets offended when they make fun of the president? It was a ridiculous debate performance and probably the worst debate in US history. It would be a crime for them not to cover it.

You obviously mildly-skimmed through my OP, and haven't watched the skit I'm referring to.

You're dismissed.
 
SNL needs to replace their writer’s with people who can write virtue signal skits that appease the Right

Baldwin's Trump isn't funny. It just makes me feel kind of uneasy, so it takes me out of feeling any jokes that might actually be there. It seems driven by something other than comedy.

On the other hand, this guy's was pretty good:

I enjoy Baldwin's mannerisms, facial expressions, when imitating Trump, but no doubt they're constantly reeeeeeaching for material, as a result of 80% of their show revolving around Trump EVERY SINGLE WEEK!

A lot of comedians actually need Trump to be President. They'd have no material otherwise.

It is not just comedians. There is a fashionable anti-Trump industry that has become very profitable for comedians, politicians, journalists, celebrities, musicians, authors, pundits, race-baiters, opportunists, scumbags and so on. Hell, CNN basically dropped everything to cover Trump almost 24/7 and the Left can't stop thinking about him. It has been Trump Mania since late 2015. There is going to be a lot of people sad to see Trump leave the White House after his second term as President comes to an end in 2024.

I instantly turn off any comedian/show that tries to create comedy off trump. I have zero interest in politics especially american politics. So i've had to move away from a lot of shows i used to enjoy.

The daily show is a glaring example. It used to be hilarious, witty and even thought provoking with Jon stewart and colbert. Now its just hacky and picking at the lowest hanging fruit, comedy nowhere to be seen.

But it makes me appreciate the non-conforming comedians a lot more. Chappelle, burr, norm.. thats where the real comedy is now.

Chappelle has gone full-Libtard as well. The "jokes" he made about Candice Owens were ridiculous, to say the least.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real and the majority of the left suffers from it. The left has an extremely unhealthy obsession with Trump. He is all they think about all the time. Lefties are going to have major psychological breakdowns when he is no longer President.

Google some political ads from the 1800’s in the US. Those were brutal compared to the tame stuff

Can you provide an example? I'm having trouble finding them.

I don't associate with any side like i said im not into american politics.

But i loved how chappelle took on the politically correct and sensitive groups in one of his recent specials. Most comedians are scared of doing anything like that nowadays but hes too big to give a fck.

I understand that, but I don't think that's the point of his post. And he's really not wrong, it's become trash. There is zero creativity, all they know to do is Trump jokes. And they're not even funny, but it seems now they've even reached a new low.

I tried watching a few clips over the past few years. It's not funny at all. They've basically become like CNN doing a skit. It's not funny and it's been so blatant even porn is more reserved in catering to its audience
 
SNL he been shit for quite awhile now.

Look how they treated Obama compared to every republican.

Most of the time it's not a big deal as they are all liberal democrats so you expect them to treat them much better.

They have now embraced they who slash and burn political climate now but even that is expected.

The simple answer is just give them your money by watching.
