The writing for the skits seem to be screwball disjointed gibberish.
It’s not coherent, let a lone funny.
It’s like they think the show is so “anointed”, that they can say “sky sunk oak” and people will roll over laughing.
They don’t even pretend to have a story line.
Even after the Chevey Chase, John Belushi, Jane Curtain, Gilda Radner, Garrick Morris days, Eddie Murphy days, there were still some great bright spots.
Today it’s a vast wasteland.
Admittedly, I haven’t watched it in a year or so. It’s so painful knowing what the possibilities are, and watching these folks destroy the brand.
Chevy is not close to his fellow performers.
He might as well be “living in a van down by the river.”
There was a YouTube video I saw that complained that millennial's have a really odd sense of humor, i.e. they would laugh at purely absurd combinations of words or actions like your example.
I agreed in the comments and was lambasted by the humorless millennial's.
They had no sense of the irony of the situation.
Never really got SNL, and Rosanna Arquette killed any chance of me tuning in again.
