'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'.

I’m surprised anyone complained.

So get ready for Joe and Kamala skits where, as bad as they are, they make their political and cultural foes look even worse.

They refused to make any jokes about Obama for 8 years before that.

SNL has not been funny or watchable in 25 years.

I remember when the Mullah Obama became pres. , SNL and the late night shows did not do a joke about him for 2 years. Scared to death they'd be called racist I guess.

In Joe's case, scared to death they'd be chastised for making fun of an infirm old person

See....Jay Leno was funny and a good comedian. I didn’t even know he’s a liberal. You shouldn’t know if the comedian is truly funny. He should be able to take shots at whoever is in office.

Mocking the President is only fine when its a Republican in the White House...

The last Democrat President SNL mocked was Bill Clinton, I remember a pretty funny sketch where Phil Hartman (RIP) as Clinton was in a McDonald's for a meet and greet. Taking customers food while campaigning and he tells a Secret Service agent "there's a lot of things we wont be telling Mrs. Clinton."

They took some shots at Al Gore before and after the 2000 election. Particularly portraying Gore and G.W. Bush as Felix Unger and Oscar Madison in an Odd Couple parody where they share the White House.

Once Mr. Obama came into office, they refused to mock him and effectively worshiped him and Mrs. Clinton. Biden is a target rich environment for parody, but you wont see it on SNL.

Biden IS a joke. Just show his picture and people laugh uncontrollably.

Kamala Harris has been hired by Mike Lindell to do ads because of her longtime experience as a human mattress tester.

Hunter Biden is going to do “Burma Shave” commercials. He figures it sounds like Burisma so no one will notice.

Rachel Levine, Pa. Dept. of Health head, and DHS nominee, will be doing ads for “Dress Barn”.

John Kerry is doing ads for plastic surgery, the Hanoi Hilton hotel chain, and small one person sailing boats where he sings “Blowing in the Wind”.

Fed Head Janet Yellen will also be teaching courses on how to scam the government for fun and profit.

And Dr. Jill Biden will be opening a new office for those who need brain surgery since she is a “doctor”, you know.

I offer these to SNL “au gratin” for their shows. I suspect they are going to need something funny now that their pet McCarthyism smear project, Donald Trump, is no longer around.

SNL: - the not so funny show for Sniveling Neutered Leftists

Are they still attacking Trump? Biden/Harris perhaps provided too much material and they simply were overwhelmed? I mean, are they going to notice that Biden has dementia?

The last time I watched SNL was when it was actually worth watching. That was some time ago.

There’s a lot to mock about Biden but how funny would it be?
Skit: tired old man shuffles onto stage, gets lost going to the microphone and has to be shown where to go, has no idea what he’s talking as he reads the teleprompter, in the middle of a question declares he’s done with these vile gotcha questions and wanders off, goes back because he forgot his mask, etc.
Skit: frail old man gets out of shower, engages in naked playtime with dog, falls over and breaks something.

It would be all too real.

They used to air this skit on SNL. Extremely funny. No way they'll do it today in this "woke" age.
