classic case of pineapple derangement syndrome

Kenny Logins posted:

after trump got elected, i eventually completely wrote off snl ever being a coherent or even non-malignant source of political satire. same for being a creative, energetic attempt at comedy (barring a few completely accidental successes)

now as i watch the vintage eps from the late 80s and 90s and early 00s, when i was younger and more of its target audience, it's really clear it's always been extra horrible and extremely lazy :smith:

this should not come as news to anyone of course

snl has always - ever since season 1 episode 1 - been trash punctuated by occasional, perhaps accidental, jewels

I liked Kids in the Hall and The Edge (What is Chewbacca doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE), but the latter is pretty much forgotten now.

UK comedy was better anyway.

anything even roughly good gets elevated and hyped like crazy, so it's ultimately better to have 2-3 filters before bothering with it now

NPR is unlistenable because the human interest poo poo they run is 45 year old white people who think they're the most interesting people in the world talking about how interesting they are.

Anyway the SNL and NPR crowds probably overlap a bunch.
