I dont understand why this topic gets rehashed time and time again
SNL has always been topical, situational, and generational. It's an ongoing cycle that's been repeating since it first aired.
when you were a kid, your folks thought SNL was funny, you didnt, you were too young. Your grandparents didnt understand it, nor think it was funny. Eventually, you aged to a point to where SNL was the funniest shite on TV - to YOU......your parents however thought it was dumb and not funny, and hadn't been funny in years. They think SNL went downhill ever since ____________ left the show.
Eventually, virtually everyone gets to a point in their life where it's no longer funny. You've changed, you've gotten older. The cast changes, they're new, they're actually now younger than you are. It's no longer your style of humor. Show clips of Mr Bill to a 22yr old, see if he laughs.
Are they more politicized now than before? I dont know, I havent watched it in 10+ years. But that's besides the point. It's not funny anymore because the audience is constantly aging, and the material is constantly changing, the cast is constantly changing.

bullshite. Its always been topical and political but always had a make fun of both sides feeling until recently. When your primary function is to make a political point and not to create a laugh, you're only going to appeal to a smaller crowd that is just smugly nodding their heads.

Well said. I've noticed that no matter the year, no matter the cast, "yesteryear" was always better when it comes to SNL.
I think so, but I'm not sure. They've always done politics and that's often been their best material. I love the political humor. It's probably always slanted liberal. Now, it's 100% liberal. That doesn't bother me so much.
But don't make up shite about racism. Don't keep calling me racist. Don't keep pretending that white people are committing vast numbers of hate crimes and that the poor peaceful people of color are all huddling in fear. That's where I draw the line.
