I hate modern day Saturday Night Live.
I mean, REALLY hate it.
It's utter garbage. Just unwatchable garbage. So why do I download it every now and then and watch it anyway? Why even bother? I don't know. Old habits I guess.
SNL used to be something really important in the US. Before the internet and memes I guess.
Now it's just a weekly showcase of cringeworthy, terribly unfunny sketches that would elicit a nervous pity chuckle on amateur improv night. The cast is made of of mostly painfully unfunny fat women and bland, interchangeable white guys. There's a loud black chick whose shtick is screaming who can barely read her lines off the cue card. But we're supposed to clap and laugh and encourage her cause she's a "person of color."
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Christ, I get douchechills watching this dreck. Imagine being on this show and you have always wanted to be the next Sandler or Ferrell, and all you get to do is week after week of limp, stale feminist and anti-trump propaganda. It's embarrassing.
Kate Mackinnon is genuinely talented. She's pretty much the only one. And Cecily Strong, but I don't know if she's actually funny or I just like her cause I wanna bang her.
