SNL mocks CDC mask rule mayhem with ‘patron saint of Purell’ Anthony Fauci
NY Post ^ | May 16, 2021 | Lee Brown

Saturday Night Live” didn’t mask the confusion over current government guidance on face coverings — with a cold-open skit mocking the mayhem over when and where masks are needed.

The latest episode opened with “a message from Dr. Anthony Fauci,” with Kate McKinnon reprising her role as the often-controversial leading infectious diseases expert.

“It’s your boy, Fauci, the patron saint of Purell,” the fake Fauci said, inviting a group of doctors to act out different scenarios to try to teach Americans “correct mask behavior.”

“The CDC announced that people that are vaccinated no longer need to wear masks, outdoors or indoors. Pretty great, right?” McKinnon’s Fauci said. But “a lot of people had questions, such as, what does that mean? What the hell are you talking about? Is this a trap?”

He’s been a joke for over a year. What took so long? Not enough conservatives to ridicule anymore?

Had to slam Trump supporters and the Capitol protests. Typical. As disgusting as always.

So much rich material in today’s world that could be satirized, mocked, parodied, sent up, etc and the writers and performers on SNL currently are still simply awful, talentless hacks.

“Dr” Jill would be an ideal subject to mock on SNL...
<><> her “doctoral” thesis that showed up her illiteracy
<><> her overweening ambitions to be first lady
<><> dragging a demented oldster on the campaign trail
<><> her atrocious taste in clothes
<><> and that cloying voice of hers.......so annoying.

Actually somewhat funny, in some VERY sick ways.

Though very unsupportive of the the CDC’s ability to do and promulgate “Science”.

SNL is the last bastion of liberal apologists.

When they make fun of a leftist, it’s truly over.

SNL continues to push the envelope on sleazy . . . I guess they figured they are no longer funny enough not to add the sexual deviancy references . . .

The gig is up for Dr. Fauci. It’s over. Time for him to go back to his office at NIH and remain irrelevant like he was in the previous 37 years as the head of infectious diseases.

That’s 6 minutes I’ll never get back. Every single one of them is painfully unfunny.

SNL is as much garbage as Fauci - only difference is SNL doesn’t provide any guidelines that affect our lives.
