will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.
death to AmeriKKKa
wasn’t even the most egregious sketch of the night - to be honest with you. my roommate watches it religiously so inevitably every saturday night I will happen to catch parts of various sketches as I’m in the kitchen.
the one that really got under my skin was the bike trail one where the entire joke is…people who bike on public trails are annoying?? was just sitting in the kitchen doing the dishes and hearing the sketch, waiting for the eventual punchline or subversion of expectations, but no…four minutes of “don’t you hate when you’re walking 2 abreast on a public trail, partially in the designated bike lane, & someone rides up and gives you a “on your left” to warn you they’re approaching and that you should get out of their way? yeah we hate them too”
SNL being SNL I was struck with the thought that whoever wrote the sketch (Colin Jost I know it was your insufferable ass) must have been walking in a bike lane somewhere in Manhattan and gotten bowled the fuck over by a cyclist who is tired of telling people to get out of the way.

This triggered a memory of the number of jokes in the 2000s in very professional media that were just “lol gay”
I mean probably didn’t even have something that interesting happen to them. A lot of SNL these days is just social media (twitter) interactions/“jokes”. Whoever wrote it likely just came across dumb bike discourse and regurgitated it.
SNL always was and is garbage
We need Trump back so they go back to 3 cheeto sketches a week paralysing DC liberals with laughter
