SNL Cold Open Dubs Politics ‘Depressing,’ Focuses on Avengers and Game of Thrones Instead

Saturday Night Live‘s cold open went mostly politics-free tonight, choosing instead to focus on a ‘feud’ between Avengers and Game of Thrones.

Making a nod to the political events of the week, the sketch started with a C-SPAN ‘announcer’ noting they would have shown footage from Attorney General William Barr‘s House testimony but “Barr decided not to show up.”

Rep. Steve Cohen‘s chicken stunt also got a mention.

“The Democrats chose to do some light prop comedy with a bucket of chicken,” the announcer said. “The whole thing was so depressing that we’d rather focus on the two things all Americans can get behind: Game of Thrones And Avengers.”

Even SNL knows the idiot dems made fools of themselves.

Barr chewed them up and spit them out.

SNL hasn’t been funny in decades. Who still watches it at this point?

SNL was funny up until the days of Dana Carvey as the Church Lady (isn’t that special?) and Chris Farley as Matt Foley, (I lived in a van down by the river!), since then, BLEH!

Sure politics is depressing when your party is about to go down in flames.

I have no interest in either Game of Thrones nor Avengers nor any other low-IQ, low-morals garbage that comes out of Hollywood.

That’s the problem in general, that these people don’t understand. America is not about the things Hollywood is, and is in fact oriented quite the opposite. Hollywood homos have nothing in common with normal Americans at all.

Yep, pretty much when the late Phil Hartman left, it went downhill.

The thought of President Trump getting reelected depresses them.

Anyone joking how there are 21 candidates and none of them can top HRC EVs.

Name each Dem and be the devil’s advocate. If writers are willing, comedy GOLD!

BS - if this had been the GOP eating Chicken or making fools of themselves SNL would’ve been wall to wall attacks. That it was the Democrats doing it and that they won’t go after the anti-semitism or Omar or Cortez either shows their true colors. They’re a mouthpiece for the DNC and don’t care about America.

I watch SNL all the time. Oh wait, I stopped watching in 1979.

The people who have always watched Saturday Night Live.

And here's a truth: SNL was only ever funny when you were in college. All the rest of the time, it sucked.

Are you saying "normal" Americans have no interest in Avengers or Game of Thrones?
