Saturday Night Live opened tonight with something a little different: The show went back to the 13th century England to mock Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked draft opinion that threatens to overturn Roe V. Wade.
The skit opened with a narrator announcing that Alito explained that “no woman has a right to an abortion and abortion is a crime.”
He cites a treatise from the 13th century about the quickening of the foetus, and a second treatise that says that if the quick child dieth in her body, it would a great misprision. We go then to that profound moment of moral clarity almost a thousand years ago, which laid such a clear foundation for what our law should be in 2022.
Out comes Benedict Cumberbatch, playing a medieval figure, who wonders if they should pass a law to ban abortion. “We should have a law that could stand the test of time,” he says, “so that hundreds and hundreds of years from now, they will look back and say, ‘No need to update this one at all. They nailed it back in 1235.'”
Earlier this week, Politico posted the draft opinion, setting off alarms that the days of legalized abortion across the country could be coming to an end. In the opinion, Alito, in arguing that Roe was wrongly decided, wrote that “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of common law until 1973.”

We all know someone who thinks they’re smarter than they are. But before you judge, you’d better check you are free from the Dunning Kruger Effect.
The theory of this effect was developed by David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University. They found that this cognitive bias occurs when people fail to adequately assess their level of competence — or incompetence — at a task and consider themselves to be more competent than they actually are.
The theory is also commonly known as ‘Mount Stupid‘. According to the Urban Dictionary, Mount Stupid is ‘the place where you have enough knowledge of a subject to be vocal about it, without the wisdom to gather the full facts or read around the topic‘.
However, the Dunning Kruger Effect has been thoroughly studied by psychologists and is no armchair theory or pop psychology topic.
What is the Dunning Kruger Effect?
This psychological bias, where a person believes themselves to be smarter and more competent than they actually are, was first identified in Kruger and Dunning’s 1999 study “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments“.
In essence, it shows how people with low ability do not have the necessary critical ability and self-awareness to recognize how low their ability actually is. This leads to them having a superior view of their own competence and knowledge.
In simple words, it is “when people are too stupid to know how stupid they are”.
Last time I watched was when Chappelle hosted in
2016.
Now he’s probably cancelled from the show
My family never watched it.
Quickening is one traditional point …
“SNL is written for retards that are either drunk or high on drugs.”
My bet is marijuana lots more than alcohol. Plus too much rap music. Just about all the younger rappers glorify and sing about their high pot intake. And the young here copy them. Legalizing this crap is a huge mistake. It ruins young and teenager brains more quickly.
I’m with you all the way.
I don’t think I’ve laughed at a single SNL sketch since the days of Chris Farley, Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman. That’s like 25 years ago.
No problem with a stolen "election", or a senile puppetdent in the White Hospice.
Touch their little baby-murdering incantations, and they all collectively drop a runny deuce like their Puppet-In-Chief.
I guess I don’t get it - is that even funny?
“Last time I watched was when Chappelle hosted in

I stopped SNL in 1997, plus stopped watching the CBS etc. Sunday network news shows. Hmmmm In 1997 I also stopped 1997 watching all 6-7PM network news. Except for Fox News, that I cut out 7 years ago along with all cable TV.
These days all I need and use is a solid internet connection for my computers. I use a free internet google voice home phone plus a 2020 Samsung phone with a 6.4” screen. Last year I watched Tucker and Laura Ingraham on you tube. These shows get posted on youtube for a few hours, until youtube destroys them. Laura Ingraham was superior, by interviewing solid alternative Doctors on the Plandemic.
Snl hasn’t been funny since the days of Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman.
Aim higher...
SNL is NBC
NBC is Comcast
Let me guess? They ‘cleverly’ make the right out to be backward racist stooges and they laugh and riotously clap like trained seals at the inevitable ‘zinger’ anti-Republican punchline? Seen it before, hard pass...
They don’t understand the basics of what the constitution is. They think the constitution gives people all their rights instead of limiting the government’s power over the governed. It is a procedure to be followed by the government. I believe this was taught in 8th grade. America was just made dumber...
