"Nobody on the current snl cast seems like a normal person with a good sense of humor - they all feel deeply sheltered and siphoned through private schools and theater camps."
"I was forced to watch this documentary/'through the years' special on TV the other day all about SNL. Essentially the entire thing boiled down to a writer or actor saying 'We hadn't slept for days coming up with this sketch. We threw stuff at the wall and nothing seemed to stick. Then at the last mi"
"That's it. How institutional it feels, how long it has been on, how unfunny it has been for so long, how the news reports on skits. Super weird."
"Interns have their own break room, completely separate from the main cast audience hall. They can only watch the live show from there unless they're called upon for tasks, mid show. They can attend the after parties but are walled off by red velvet ropes in a separate space."
"The Trump administration will be terrible for lots of reasons but a possible return to 2016 era turbo woke, resist culture makes me sick. SNL will pump out 4 more years of trump sketches, there'll be no room for nuance."
"somehow this girl has released three albums already and was just on snl. in britney spears terms that means she's crossroads, i'm a slave 4 u era."
"That annoying gay from SNL finally said something correct about Crockett and everyone is attacking him."
"In this bit Elon plays a version of himself where he was continually deflecting on what dogecoin is until the punchline of the skit. Where Michael Che goes "Oh, so it's a hustle?" which Elon then admits to it being a hustle."
"Relay or act out ANY comedy/SNL/CT bits, no matter how relevant or hilarious"
"Truly lazy comedy. Let's just crib the plot of a popular show, claim it as our own and replace the characters with Trump people. People will find it funny, right? Right?? You could sense the audience laughing along sympathetically if only to convince themselves they were watching something worthwhil"
"but it is also 4) extremely gay and definetely jumping the shark, in the exact same way kamala going on SNL is."
"SNL was doing those digital shorts with that guy, like the one where he's just throwing shit on the ground."
"i know she's the sub darling right now, and for the record, i do think snl is extremely unfunny (the white potus skit no exception) and aimee is attractive and her teeth are endearing (really enjoyed her character on the white lotus)."
"No ethnic SNL personalities as comic relief going "Well, that just happened.""
"Watching *American Sniper* feels like an SNL sketch where they got some hyper pop twink to play an Eastwood protagonist."
"It's become a predictable snl formula for a sketch to involve one bigoted/un-self aware guy acting out while the rest of the characters look at the camera and say 'woah! You can't say that! That is incorrect! We don't agree with that!'"
"This film is made for people who follow @feminist on Instagram and the worst part of it is that it may be the least feminist thing I have seen in a while."
"I think maybe 2-4 times a year, SNL should let a random American citizen host. They would do the opening monologue, have a hand in writing sketches, introduce the musical act, and then do the thing at the end where they wave goodbye and interact with the cast with their mic muted."
"Neoliberal realism is something. The libs on my timeline are eating it up, like they would SNL"
"For big events like SNL, it was almost patronizing the way people talked about how they were 'proud of him'."
"Video comedy hit its peak in the early to mid 2010s with Eric Andre, Sam Hyde, and Kyle Mooney. Eric got too big to do his bits anymore, Sam got blacklisted, and Kyle got sidelined on SNL where his bits were never gonna work."
"Oh god just skip the trial and do what you want with him I can't deal with this SNL reality"
"When you watch SNL, you don't even feel like youre being part of something cool happening, which used to be the case until 2010 id say. Now, it just feels like regarded community theatre. Theres no feeling of being in on something, something that was present even in unfunny sketches."
"There's a currently a trend using a sound from an SNL sketch with a song by SZA which was originally about how dadbods are preferable to typical buff guys, but it's been co-opted by college girls to make fun of short/small guys."
"Another waste of time being tortured with unfunny sketches, probably the worst weekend update I have ever seen. HEY WATCH PUNKIE MIX UP FAMOUS NAMES! Isn't it hilarious? Who da hell is dat? Some white bitch named Claire? (cue the forced laughter). Who is giving the thumbs up to this garbage?"
"i think he'll fly too close to the sun by going on SNL or something. his chubby dyslipidemia wings will melt because someone finds out he used to be on the podcast Matty Healy got cancelled on."
"SNL will pump out 4 more years of trump sketches, there'll be no room for nuance. The only winners will be HR people and the "white violence" grifters. Grim... 2) SNL no longer matters. If it starts mattering again it won't be because of resistance lib sketches."
"The new sketches feel like they were made for wine moms on twitter and instagram. And they all seem to be an excuse for the predominantly grown up theater kid cast to act out in character in some overly extravagant set."
"A modern-day odd couple with the skit leaning into the controversy of Shane's 'firing' 5 years ago.. It may even be funny."
"Anyone else hate Obama and corporate art and NFTs and nonbinary bisexuals and Phoebe Bridgers and affirmative action and SNL?"
"Another waste of time being tortured with unfunny sketches, probably the worst weekend update I have ever seen."
"The difference in tone and the overall style are so different. And this isn't just 'SNL was always bad! You just remember the good parts!' The new sketches feel like they were made for wine moms on twitter and instagram."
"SNL is trash. It was always 70% trash but now it feels like it's been infected by this self-aware gen z meta humor which seeps through every sketch and makes the whole performance feel pathetic"
