Californian checking in: It ain't funny. Throwing on the valley girl accent was humorous in 6th grade. We'd all say stuff like "YA! WHAT-EVERRR". That shite died a long time ago, though.

SNL hasn't been funny since the early 90's.

This predates Norm’s Weekend Update, rendering this statement false.

Weekend Update is all Trump all the time, they had Kate McKinnon playing Betsy Devos last night. When's the last time SNL spoofed the Secretary of Education?

Betsy DeVos deserved it. If Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Education had fricked up that much, you can bet your arse Norm would have done a segment about it.

Kate McKinnon

There’s your first problem. She’s not funny.

Kate McKinnon is debatably the best female cast member they’ve ever had and the only one holding this shite show together. The only one who might be better is Gilda Radner, because I think McKinnon is comfortably better than Wiig.

Lost in everything was Pete Davidson’s opening joke.

Pete Davidson is to comedy is to comedy as Justin Bieber is to music.

SNL and the entire political comedy thing hasn’t been funny in a really really long time.

It's getting old. Back in the day, there wasn't a Bush 41, Clinton, or Perot sketch every f'n week. It's all they have now.

If it weren't for Trump, Colbert's arse would've been on the street as CBS was looking at canning him. He should be very thankful HRC didn't win

You really need to go back and watch Norm’s Update. He was just as vicious if not even more so than they currently are towards Trump. Norm hated the Clintons, and didn’t hold back calling them murderers on more than one occasion.
