Is it just me? I don't find any amusement in impersonations, satire, ironic skits, or other 'humor' meant to make fun of that monster destroying people's lives.
Maybe it's just me. Or just me tonight. Or something.

(2,567 posts)Most of the sketches suck, but it has been that way for decades. Most sketch comedy sucks.
It's hard stuff to write. (I have tried. I suck at it, too.)
If it were written by AI, we'd call it slop.
I've seen lots over the years from SNL that was good, biting comedy. But, one can sit through a lot of acts until there's a real laugh.

(115,178 posts)it is truly a mirror to Trump- so imagine how he perceives it. Perhaps a tiny bit useful in that context--short of loading his diaper with porcupine quills.
