      Satire always runs the risk of just being the thing it’s trying to imitate if it is done poorly. I can’t really find a place in that sketch where the joke isn’t just “haha this is awesome for him,” so if the sketch is meant to criticize those tropes it falls quite short of the goal.

      Definitely a top ten sketch, but there have been so many I’ve enjoyed the last few years: some edgy like Olive Garden or Wells Fargo or Elf on a Shelf or Frozen 2. Some gentle and sweet, like the Cha-Cha Slide at the black wedding reception. When people say SNL is no longer funny, they just haven’t looked hard enough. The original years had clunkers too. They are just forgotten.

    These were some of the best sketches. In a world filled with so much pain and atrocities we need humor to help heal. These sketches exist because things have happened that good moral people find horrible so I think taking a bad thing and laughing at it only helps the soul. The people angry at these things just don't want to be happy.

    Living in Utah where there has been a serious issue with prescription drug abuse, I think the Heroin AM sketch is on point. I interpret it as saying “yeah this is what you look like mom in the minivan popping pills on your way to church. You’re still an addict even if it comes from the doctor.” Yeah it’s a parody but to me it’s using humor to make the connection that a lot of people refuse to see until it’s too late.

      of course none of them went too far. freedom of speech means just tat, freedom. you may not like whats said but that doesn't matter. they have a right to say what they want even if its said seriously. they run a comedy show. its not meant to be taken serious. being offended by a comedy show means theres an issue with the person offended not the show. you don't always hear things you like. its on you to overcome those issues and recognize they don't mean whats said. people can't blame the world for their being an overly sensitive bitch.

      Toxxik don’t quote amendments when you don’t understand what they mean. People love doing that and it’s really annoying.
      SNL does cross the line, but it is usually very rarely and when they do it was in a crap episode anyways.
      Though since it’s always brought up, the difference with male and female sexual harassment is females are already seen as less dominant so it is basically bullying, but even worse. With male students it is generally felt they can get out of the situation and males supposedly like sex more, so that is why they joke about it, even though sexual harassment of either gender is just as wrong. The joke is about social standing, of course it would be frowned upon.
