re: SNL Weekend Update Joke Swap

I usually enjoy this segment. But my problem with it is this:

Remember when we used to be able to tell jokes and laugh about it, even when it was non-pc?

It’s ironic that SNL, which leans heavily liberal obviously, thinks this is funny yet the same ideology wants to cancel someone like Shane Gillis for making “racist” Asian jokes.

Comedy is comedy. And comedy is often times racist, sexual, offensive, whatever. Picking and choosing what is acceptable and what isn’t is a slippery slope for comedy.

So while I do find it funny when Che and Jost trade jokes (most of which are racist and sexist), they should apply that same mentality when judging others and their comedy. It should all be kosher IMO.



ETA: I watched the clip and it definitely isn’t as funny as some I’ve seen previously. But it still was pretty good.
