SNL ran a skit tonight w/Tom Hanks as a MAGA racist…he literally recoils when a black game show host reaches to shake hands.

This makes me mad.

So wrong — MAGA isn’t racist!

SNL knows they can keep pushing these stupid stereotypes for laughs. Sick.

[redfreedom]

I personally viewed it as anti-war.

[Mr. Blond]

I saw the original sketch, don’t know if this was a replay. Tom recoils when the exuberant black host comes at him for a hug, after agreeing with one of his answers. The point of the sketch actually showed how rural folks and blacks have similar worldviews.

Stupid is, as stupid does... How do you like them chocolates???

[subterfuge]

I saw it as you describe too. But an old maga guy isn’t going to recoil when approached by a black guy in real life. Eddie Murphy was hilarious.

The first ‘Black Jeopardy’ with ‘Doug’ was hilarious:

They could not find any such a person, so they have to hire an actor!
I wonder how much they paid him?

“And the fake ads were often funny too.”

Bass-O-Matic. It almost had me gagging just watching it.

[MayflowerMadam]

The MAGA hat he wore was over the line. If that hadn’t been there, it might have been a little bit funny — just another silly skit.

The one where they were performing a Bris while driving over a bumpy rode.

rode=road

LOL! I never saw that one.

How about when naked Martha Stewart was out in the forest to get her Christmas tree?

[Churchillspirit]

Never saw the end....fell asleep halfway through!

I remember as a kid finally having a computer that could play video. I bought a CD of the best SNL skits, and it was on there:

Met Tom Hanks in person years ago. Definitely not impressed. Mean-spirited guy.

We were disappointed that Joe Piscopo (a pro-Trump conservative) and Dan Ackroyd (I think he's a conservative) were nowhere in sight during the SNL 50th Anniversary show on Sunday night.

The show could have been better. They wasted way too much time with skits by the younger generations of SNL actors. And horrible "musical" guests like Miley Cyrus and (especially) Lil' Wayne.

[nutmeg]

LOL, never saw that one before!

[nutmeg]

OMG... when did she do THAT??

“SNL knows they can keep pushing these stupid stereotypes for laughs. Sick.”

SNL has always been stereotypes based. But at least they used to be clever, witty and funny stereotypes.
Trump won. We won. SNL lamers lost.

Seriously! I get my chuckles and laughs from Donald Trump these days. As Trump/Elon/DOGE boys tear up the Dems Deep State in Washingtoon DC.
As the corruptoCrats run like rats. Rats and cockroaches scattering when Trump turns on the light switch..... Actually, Trump/Elon/DOGE turning on one hundred AI powered spotlights.

Tom Hanks is not looking good. He has aged quite a bit. Getting rail thin. Maybe it was all the covid shots he took.
