The only thing worth watching on SNL is Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michal Che. Those dudes are funny as hell. The rest of it is trash except when they have Bargatze on.

Been hearing this shite my whole life. Aside from the first couple of years, and the early/mid 90's, both periods where they were absolutely loaded with talent, and a few sprinkles of Eddie Murphy and Will Farrell, here and there, it seems like it's always sucked.



It's a combination of misplaced nostalgia and expectations. People watch SNL with the expectation that it's supposed to be a laugh a minute, and SNL used to be a laugh a minute. In reality, SNL was never a laugh a minute and this should never be the expectation.

People get all nostalgic for the Dana Carvey/Mike Myers/Chris Farley days, but if you go back and watch those episodes, it wasn't a laugh a minute and even the most nostalgic sketches failed half the time.

If I chuckle 2 or 3 times during a SNL episode and think "that's clever," that's good enough for me.

If the American electorate wants to return to Obama-Biden-Harris Land they can begin the process to do so in a mere two years by throwing the GOP out of Congress. Then in 2028 complete the process by electing a Leftist Dem POTUS.

Obama Biden Harris Land will return very quickly.

Folks, I'm not sure that our fellow Americans are going to keep this MAGA Movement going. When you think of all the powerful global forces, people and cabals that want the Movement to die, I must say that I do not have high hopes for its survival. I simply do not believe that in the long term, the USA has the capability to survive its Globalist Leftist evolution.

It's worse than just not being funny, SNL has never been this so far biased politically in their skits. It used to poke fun at both sides with a left lean. Now it's as bad as the Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

SNL has been unwatchable for over 10 years

Unless you enjoy slanted agenda-based unfunny leftest rhetoric masquerading as ‘sketch comedy’

It needs to die

This should have been a premise ripe for SNL…but after seeing that writing room, this is purely done by people living in their liberal bubble that just want to angrily blast them, the material isn’t remotely funny, the audience isn’t laughing.

Your goal should be to be funny first that may have some social commentary within it. Not commentary under the guise of comedy.

trump and his cult offer up so much ridiculous material that comedians and shows would be crazy to pass it up. Every day something more bizarre than the day before is put out there by this regime.

Heck, they still go after clinton from time to time and all presidents have been lampooned on SNL, it just that this clown offers up so much stupidity it can’t be ignored.

That skit was funny and spot on.

Can you give me an example of them making fun of Obama or Biden? I do recall a couple of bits making Harris look ditzy.

Oh, and that last bit was not spot-on. If you actually watched the full unclipped 49 minute video of the press conference, you'll see it's the opposite that happened.

Bowen Yang sucks so bad but thankfully he prevented Shane Gillis from moving to NY and being sucked into this unfunny PC era of comedy

Instead he’s flourished in YouTube and staying in Austin and rolling with the Kill Tony crew pushing real comedy forward … so I’ll forever thank Bowen for existing for that purpose

but Biden zombie moving around like a roomba and not knowing where he was, his cackling word salad VP, his crackhead “artist” son, mumble mouth Fetterman with his hoodie, drunk Pelosi …nope, no material worth mocking or touching on in four years.

Yet Adam Ray does a real time improv Biden impression which has more than 24 million views



The idea that Democrat politicians don’t give SNL any material is beyond disingenuous. They literally cold opened by eulogizing Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign…they can never recover from that and trying to pretend they have some fair and balanced approach is more laughable than 99% of SNL skits. They need to just give the whole show to the Do Not Destroy kids at this point

it’s healthy for children to take puberty blockers
defund the police
black lives matter
mask up; we’re in this together
you need 4 boosters for immunity.
here’s why open borders are a good thing
here’s why inflation is a good thing
President Biden is completely healthy.

It’s really not. America first is not bizarre. Not putting up with disrespect from a beggar seeking more funding to solve a European problem. Seeing the dudes pretending to be women under Biden, and the coverup of Biden’s mental decline and looking the other way on Putin invading Ukraine until Hunter’s laptop issue stopped being labeled “fake news” was more bizarre. All of a sudden the US went full in when it wasn’t just news they could write off as conservative came full circle on Hunter’s laptop.

Watch the entire event from the start including the 40 something minutes when things going ok prior to Zelenskyy starting stuff with our Vice President, remember Zelenskyy flew in to sign a deal that he backed away from just before this event (with alleged advice from Obama’s Susan Rice prior to backing away), remember he is wanting more money and weapons from us on top of the billions and billions he feels was about helping us as much as the Ukraine, and remember the Ukrainian pansy yelling at our secretary of the treasury before this. People like you have filled the actor’s head with delusions of grandeur of being up there with Churchill.

If you watch the full Trump-Zelensky press conference, it is very clear that Zelensky, not Trump or Vance, became the antagonist. Both POTUS and VP were very respectful and cordial until Zelensky very publicly ignited a firestorm.It all starts at 40:30 1) Zelensky essentially rejects how VP described the mandate of POTUS to conduct foreign affairs, and he insinuates that Trump term one did nothing to stop Putin. 2) He then basically tells Vance that his ideas are faulty and that the administration's diplomacy won't work. These two comments are *deliberately antagonistic.* Everything was all well and good, but Zelensky took two major shots in a public forum, and they had to respond. And respond they did. Recall, this is the guy who interfered in our electoral politics and called VP "too radical," and bashed Trump in an interview with New York Mag weeks before the election.Zelensky is ENTIRELY at fault here. 100%.


Dem’s putting non-Americans and criminals first is also bizarre. Here is another bizarre moment from one of your ilk which has become the norm for those you support.

The Trump stuff is just been overdone. We get it. It's 10+ years of it.

The Democrats have ample material, but they don't ever swing at them. They went super soft every week.

Only real hosts I'll watch for is Chapelle and Gillis.
