In 2012, "SNL" writer Jim Downey was still declaring Obama mockery impossible. He said: "Obama doesn't give you much to grab onto. He's like a smooth rock face of perfect obsidian with no ledges or toeholds, and your job is to scale 200 feet of it."

Woah! Mega-Phagg alert!!!!!!!!!!

I've been watching it a little since the election out of morbid curiosity, yeah I know. Shamu the whale's Sean Spicer that everyone is raving about was actually pretty amusing. Hadn't seen a minute of it for a few years before Trump hosted it last year (I can't believe in hindsight that they let him). I don't think they hardly ever made fun of Obama, I couldn't even tell you who played him after the non-Black Fred Armisen.

I find the lesbo Kate McMinnon (who plays Kellyanne, and Shillery) attractive. She even made Liz Warren hot. And her Merkel who's horny for Obama.

Her Jeff Sessions though (yes, really), no, looked like Ross Perot.

Kellyanne they first played as like a reluctant Trump backer who hates herself or something. Then they switched to "crazy". The skit the article is talking about was a "Fatal Attraction" parody, it was stupid but she looked hot.

Alec Baldwin is AWFUL as Trump, he keeps doing this weird fish mouth lip thing that I have never noticed Trump do. They had a skit where the mannish Black woman wanted to play Trump and put on a wig and everything, SCARY.

There was one really funny post-Armisen sketch I recall, the one doing the "School House Rock" parody with Obama shoving "Immigration Bill" out of the way with his pal "Executive Order". Jay Pharoah played Obama there. I thought his impersonation was good, he got Obama's smug arrogance down pat:

Weird, I didn't know Kate McMinnon was a lez. If so, I agree she deserves to be in the "hottest lesbians" category", along with Ellen Page and late 80s/early 90s Jodie Foster (though I don't think Jodie had "come out" back then)

I haven't seen the Sean Spicer sketch. Having her do Jeff Sessions does sound awful. Sometimes having comedic actors do parodies in drag can be hilarious though, like when John Goodman played Linda Tripp (Goodman also did a good Rex Tillerson) >> Alec Baldwin is AWFUL as Trump <<

Funny, I usually LOATHE Baldwin even when he's in "good" movies like Hunt for the Red October, but I found his Trump parody (playing Trump trying to act totally in control and having all the answers when he's really clueless about government) to be hilarious. The Baldwin-as-Trump sketches are extremely funny to me. You and I also had the opposite reaction with the Will Ferrell as George W. Bush stuff, you thought it was really amusing and I thought Ferrell was awful and didn't sound or act anything like Bush but merely portrayed him as "generic stupid guy". Timothy Bottoms, on the other hand, did an excellent Bush -- both in comedic parodies and in serious dramatic reenactments.

You know what's odd, out of ALL the presidents you could parody on a comedy show, it seems like they'd get the most mileage out of "peanut farmer" Jimmy Carter. During his heyday in the late 70s, he was pretty much a walking parody of himself. Plus there was endless material with brother Billy and his little girl Amy.

Yet nobody seems to remember ANY Carter parodies on SNL.

I googled it and it looks like Dan Aykroyd portrayed him, badly. (and I usually love Dan Aykroyd parodies-- he was hilarious doing Jack Webb-- but he looked and sounded nothing like Carter) Wow, can't believe SNL missed the boat on that one. SNL from 1977-1980 is usually considered the show's golden age.

-SNL
-Jon Stewart/who or whatever that show is called now/hosted by.
-Bill Maher
-The View and it’s ilk
-”News” broadcasts
-Etc.

Are ALL 100% outside any boundaries of reality. If Goebbels were still around, he’d be impressed at how effective these misinformed thespians are in spreading propaganda.

But since we live in an “Idiocracy” world, these shows DO shape the opinions of the f-tards, who are “life” forms that shouldn’t be allowed to toast bread, let alone, reproduce, vote or drive an automobile.

Personal rant:
Back to the shows for a moment, especially “SNL” which has been around for decades. That show is the product of “Baby Boomers” seditionists and their “Greatest Generation” benefactors. Count me in as being beyond f***ing sick of hearing about BOTH of the age groups that have led to the “society” we have today. The “Baby Boomers” wouldn’t have been allowed to run amok without mommy & daddy letting them...
