'Where are the Biden joke skits? Is the President now off limits?' 'Biased' SNL is slammed for completely avoiding Joe and Kamala jokes in first episode since inauguration - after four years of making Trump the butt of their jokes

Saturday Night Live completely avoided parodying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in its first episode since the pair were sworn into office.

Hosted by John Krasinki, the first SNL of 2021 managed to not feature either the president or vice president in its skits.

Instead it featured special 'appearances' from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Brady.

The move was blasted online by some viewers who described the show as a 'snoozefest' which is 'too scared of getting canceled'.

No sir. This feels like the Soviet Union.

In Russia everyone knows the media is run by the government. Americans have yet to figure this out.

Great movie to watch DVD or streaming online.

Especially now with the Socialist Harris/Biden Regime in power . Time and time we have seen escapees from such Communist controlled countries say how they would never again want to live in those countries. And yet here in America, we will see for ourselves sadly.

BALLOON

Film of daring balloon escape from East revives German identity debate
This article is more than 2 years old
Families welcome Ballon, a thriller about their 1979 flight from the GDR, released on reunification’s anniversary

One of the most spectacular escapes from communist East Germany, in which two families sailed over the heavily fortified border in a homemade balloon, has been recreated as a thriller for the cinema.

Ballon, by German director Michael Bully Herbig, tells the true story of the Strelzyks and the Wetzels, who built their balloon in a cellar in Thuringia. a state in the German Democratic Republic, before flying across the border into Bavaria one chilly night in September 1979.

“A cloth sack, put some hot air in it, and up we go,” said Günter Wetzel, now 63, describing his original idea in an interview to mark the film’s release. He had been inspired by a magazine article about the international annual ballooners’ convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “While I’m happy now that we took that decision, if I had the knowledge I have now I wouldn’t do it, because it was so dangerous, but I didn’t recognise that then,” he said.

As we all expected.
Without a contrived gimmick, SNL is past ready for the scrap heap. Sort of like Candid Camera. Cute during it’s time, but we can never get that same suspension of disbelief back now.

Last funny star on SNL was Norm MacDonald but NBC got rid of him because he made fun of OJ, it turned out that the producer was friends with OJ.

Who would have expected any different? They "made fun" of Obama by joking that he worked too hard And that he had a hard time dealing with the low intelligence of those around him.

I would have gone with Michelle's penis jokes, personally.

Mocking the President is only fine when its a Republican in the White House, when a commie is in the White House the commies in the Entertainment Industry say nothing, because they all voted for him

There is no humor in the supreme greatness of the beloved heroic President Biden and the historic and popular VP Kamala Harris./S

I believe it was Eddie Murphy who said “You don’t do any comedy skits about Dr. Martin Luther King.”

They said they didn't make fun of Obama because he was just not that funny, boring and nerdy in cool sort of way. Nothing to mock.

Biden is going to prove that was all a lie, if you can't find something to mock Biden about then you aint trying. And they aint.

Norm also continuously referred to Michael Jackson as a “homosexual pedofile” despite being ordered not to over and over again.

Norm refused to be PC. He was truly funny. But NBC couldn’t control him because he refused to stay on their plantation.

Happened to comedy entertainer Bob Newhart when some of his hilarious impersonations were based on John Kennedy. No fun after Thanksgiving, 1963.

The real comedy here is for Joe Biden ever to think he could become a President of the United States,

The joke is on us, people. Sad indeed. No more fun on him.
