I think that could be a great sketch, have Mohammad as QB of one team, Jesus as the other. Every play ends up with a penalty, such as “Not Washing Feet Before Game - 15 yards”, “Use of Left Hand - 5 yards”, and the big one - “Looking at Mohammad - Death!”
The skit was typical SNL writing and actually quite funny.
You know what? They are right. Some of you folks need to lighten up. The skit was funny. It was not blasphemous. It was trying to make the point that God can help, but you really need to play four full quarters—as they are right now. Snl made the same point I did last week—in addition to thanking God, the should also be thanking their place kicker.
SNL was funnier last night than it has been all year. And it’s been funny this year.
Having a sense of humor means seeing the humor in all sides. Not just when they make fun of the other guys.
The very FIRST thing that came to mind.
