Saturday Night Live's 'Complicit' Ivanka Trump 'Perfume Ad' Gets The Internet Talking
AOL News ^ | Mar 12th 2017 12:04PM | staff

Saturday Night Live has taken aim at different members of the Trump administration including showing White House strategist Steve Bannon as the Grim Reaper and having press secretary Sean Spicer played by a gum-chewing Melissa McCarthy.

In the most recent episode, the show decided to take a dig at President Trump's daughter Ivanka in a spoof of a high-end perfume ad for a product called "Complicit."

Played by actress Scarlett Johansson, she appears as a glamorous woman attending a fancy party with champagne; the female narrator says in a voiceover, "... A woman like her deserves a fragrance all her own, a scent made just for her because she's beautiful, she's powerful, she's ... complicit."

Later in the now-viral commercial, the narrator asks, "A feminist, an advocate, a champion for women...But, like, how?"

AdChoices It ends with the voiceover line, "Complicit: the fragrance for the woman who could stop all this ― but won't."

According to the Huffington Post, "'SNL' has mocked Ivanka Trump in the past, but this is the first time the sketch show is casting a more critical spotlight on the first daughter. This time, it's attacking her feminist advocacy without reservation."

“My point is that the hipsters didn’t want to see comedy from the 30s in 1975.”

But you’re wrong. They showed comedy’s like this at hipster art houses all throughout the 70’s.

Is Miss Scarlett’s daughter going to be “complicit” in what her father does for his whole life?

Will she even get to grow up with her father in her life
Hmm

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn...you will never have the glamor of Ivanka...no matter how hard you act.

(I have asked Ivanka to marry me...I'm awaiting her answer. Should be anytime, now.)

I fell in love with Groucho Marx (from his books first and then his movies and tv) after his death. I think I was the only one in college in love with an old dead guy, lol.

Well Rochester was Jack Benny’s manservant. I guess maybe his butler. But not that formal.

That’s because they double-billed them with foreign porn movies.

They don’t know who Zeppo is, but they know all the dirty words in French.

“That’s because they double-billed them with foreign porn movies.”

That’s not true.

I remember seeing a Three Stooges festival in Berkeley in 1980 or so and the place was packed and everyone was laughing and having a great time.

Since you refuse to answer my questions about comedians from the 1930s, I can only assume that you went to those “art houses” to see the foreign porno films.

What was your favorite French porno film:

“How Do You Like My Baguette?”

Or

“I Love Cheese!”

I thought the skit with the dog last night was pretty funny. Nerds invent a machine that can hear a dog’s thoughts and it turns out the lady scientist’s dog is a die hard Trump supporter, much to everyone’s shock and dismay. Pokes more fun at the at the anti-Trump hysteria than at Trump. Sort of like the “Bubble” sketch they did right after the election

Ok. You are quite silly in your extreme ness.

1. Who were “Minnie’s Kids”?

Don’t know unless it referred to girl members of the Mickey Mouse clubs of the 30’s

2. Who was “Rochester”?

Jack Benny”’s Valet.

3. What was the name of the bar that W. C. Fields frequented in the movie “The Bank Dick”?

Don’t know.

4. Who was Edgar Bergen addressing when he asked, “How could you be so stupid?”?

Charlie McCarthy or the other dummy.

Me too, 14 in 75.

Hipsters LOVED the Marx Brothers.

They weren’t called hipsters, but the cool youth that smoked dope did.

OK.

You were correct on question number two.

This entitles you to call me a “fool”.

I am proud to claim that I have been called a fool more than any other person on Free Republic.

You may now join that club.

Ok.

But I didn’t call you a fool. I looked back at my post.

I’m just saying, accurately, that there was a big resurgence in Marx Brother fans in the 70’s.

And they didn’t double bill their movies with art house sex movies.

Note I didn’t look up the answers.
