SNL still has an occasional good skit. I won’t watch the show anymore, but I will catch clips on YouTube.
Lorne Michaels made a huge mistake when he first started the show way back when. Politics should have been off-limits. By their very nature, political jokes will offend a good slice of your audience.
Plus, political jokes are lazy. It’s easier to make fun of a politician than actually writing something clever.
political jokes are fine if even handed
when it is one sided it becomes tedious
and is really propaganda
Political jokes are fine when evenly distributed and the jokesters are not harpies when “off duty”. Political jokes on one side with harpies is not funny…it’s tiresome.
