SNL used to be funny, once upon a time. Everything woke turns to s***.
SNL died years ago.
It used to be legitimately funny. Now it’s mostly vicious and bitterly partisan, and unreasonably raunchy.
They have blown it.
I used to enjoy SNL back before they became a left wing extremist arm of the DNC.
SNL stopped being funny when Ronald Reagan was elected President.
Long ago went woke. When you go woke, your comedy sucks. It’s either extremely perverted or simply mean spirited. There hasn’t been much funny at all from SNL for a long, long time.
SNL is dead because there’s nothing left of our culture to mock.
It became a humorless spectacle long ago, as they pushed their own political agendas into the audiences faces on a regular basis. No bueno.
I stopped watching SNL when Akroyd sucked tongue with O J Simpson in the second or third season.
I don’t believe it.
I have a contract with Universal NBC and we have a studio office on the lot. It’s NOT the ratings...
It’s the advertisers who ALWAYS pay up. They know it’s a lib show, and that’s why they pay up every year like idiots. I’m high up the food chain at Universal so I know they will never
EVER cancel it. Just like CNN’s dismal ratings, who gives a damn. It’s the amount of advertisers who are willing to pay and it’s under the Universal COMCAST umbrella worth billions.
Progressives are not funny.
They've always been political, beginning with Gerald Ford's alert Secret Service agents who were always wrestling something to the ground, to Dan Aykroyd's Jimmy Carter giving overdose advice on a call-in radio show, to Ronald Reagan's stupid/not stupid switch skit, and on and on.
I've written before that they accidentally found their super-power when the mocked the first Bush-Gore debate in 2000, potentially turning the tide against Al Gore's sighing, interrupting, crowding behavior. I don't think they set out to politically assassinate anybody at the time, but their mockery struck a mortal blow to Al Gore's chances with that skit. WorldNetDaily's multi-part series on the Gore family in Tennessee did the rest, and Gore ended up losing both his home state and Bill Clinton's home state.
Fast-forward to 2008, and SNL learned to use their power for evil when they mocked Sarah Palin's debate, creating the mythology of the "I can see Russia from my house" line, and propelling Tina Fey to A-list fame. They never touched a Democrat that way again.
After they successfully took down the Palin/McCain ticket, they never looked back. They became shrill, angry, and one-sidedly leftist. They refused to mock Obama, and tepidly treated Hillary Clinton.
I stopped watching after the Palin show, and never looked back. They learned their lesson with Gore and swore never to repeat it. Just like with the rest of late night television, what was once funny (Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, early David Letterman) became dreary left-wing agitprop, and SNL happily joined the fold. It's the same lesson that the LAAP-dog media learned after President Trump won in 2016.

Ended for me long, long ago
As far as I’m concerned, SNL died 30 years ago. The early to mid 90s was the last good cast they had. I haven’t watched since they let them all go.
It has become just another unfunny overtly Leftist platform catering to a Northeast/Left Coast audience only. Surprise Surprise, their ratings are in the toilet. When you show nothing but contempt for half the population, you’ve already put a huge ceiling on your audience size.
Too much competition. It’s hard to parody a White House Press briefing.
It’s been dreadful for decades.
SNL ended when Akroyd and Belushi left.
They would rather cancel their show than make fun of Democrats.
Sounds about right.
I now actually think we can convince Dems to kill themselves over fear of overpopulation/climate change.
Jim Jones Climate Kool Aid. Take a swig, do you part.
