oing into Election Day, liberal voters were nearly certain Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the United States. But then the votes started coming in, leaving liberals in a state of shock and wondering how Republican Donald Trump could possibly win given he was predicted to lose in all the major polls.
“Saturday Night Live,” with the help of comedic genius Dave Chapelle, imagined what how election night might have gone among white Clinton supporters as they watched the results in real-time. Chris Rock also made a surprise appearance.
At one point, one of the Hillary voters asks, “Like, why aren't people turning out for Hillary the way they did for Barack Obama?”
“I mean, maybe because you're replacing a charismatic 40-year-old black guy with a 70-year-old white woman,” Rock responds. “That's like the Knicks replacing Patrick Ewing with Neil Patrick Harris.”

Truly hilarious! Schadenfreude never gets old.

It was great! Tweeted the link.
Someone at NBC ought to be thinking, gee if we did this all the time, we could like, double our audience!
You can say THAT again!
Yeah, SNL racism is the best!
Maybe I’m too touchy. I thought the whole SNL was awful. Racism charges throughout the skits and news segment. The only thing funny I found about the election result skit was the timeline of them going from happy to despondent.
I was actually the reverse on election night.
Life is hard. It’s a lot harder if you are stupid.

Gotta get the papers, get the papers.
They've always had a liberal bent, but once in a while they go for humor over ideology and skewer liberals. Their 2008 spoof of TARP and Dodd-Frank was hilarious, because it ridiculed everyone who deserved to be ridiculed: Soros, Bush, Barney Frank, etc.
Unfortunately, the other 95% of the time SNL either peddles PC propaganda or adolescent attempts at humor and is hardly worth watching. Who knows, if SNL's writers, producers, and actors can step out of their PC comfort zone once in a while, maybe there's hope for some of the idiots out there protesting Trump's victory too.
SNL has turned into more of a burden than entertainment. Their snide, snarky, witless BS might be amusing to the brainless, room temp IQers, but anybody with at least a half a brain in their heads just skips it.
Well said.
I can’t believe no one here can see the underlying message in this skit. It’s not mocking liberals, it’s calling out America. The Lib’s are portrayed as naive yes, but they really have hearts of gold and are heartbroken that their fellow Americans could vote in that monster Trump. The snowflakes only want the best for people of color.
The streetwise black guys know better. They’re not surprised as the election results roll in because they too can hear the dog whistles and they know the pit bulls of racism and sexism will win the day. The skit was a stinging critique of this nation, probably written by Michael Che.
SNL? Is that show STILL on TV? I remember hearing about SNL when it was first getting noticed and when I finally sat down with some friends to watch it, I wasn’t laughing along with the rest of them. They acted like it was funny because it was supposed to be funny and that if you were at all cool, you would have decided that it was indeed funny, which it really wasn’t.

You could feel the bitterness all through it.
And this one almost feels like everyone doing it really wants to be doing anything BUT their jobs right then.
Indeed, the conclusion of the above skit was that America is racist. Which is fine, keep thinking that Liberals. Trump won because a huge swath of people have been left behind by the elites. Keep thinking it’s racism and you’ll lose in 2020 too.
I was amazed just how unfunny this was. Is this what passes for humor today?
this clip was the most SNL I’ve watched in years, well since they made fun of Sarah Palin to be exact. Yet in the 70s’ I’d even arrange my dating schedule so as not to miss it ;-)
