Some of the content was different then... but the meta structure of a joke and the comedic formula has pretty much been the same all along. In general, a joke is only funny for so long, and unless one’s life is perpetual misery, there is no need to keep bouncing back and forth between suffering and comedic relief.
The show used to be: "Look what happens when a bunch of comedy geniuses go live" Now it's: "Look what happens when a bunch of mediocre college kids go live"
How do you get them so wrong, too? My grandparents were even calling out the fact that Peach and Wario don't have Italian accents. The Mario Bros are better-known than Micky Mouse in 2021, and they still managed to get it wrong. That's just lazy.
They use warm up acts to to get the crowd going and record their laughter. An average taping session for the show is several hours. While they can't keep you there. They won't invite you back if you leave. The cast sometimes mingles with the crowd and they've even given out stuff sometimes. Also behind-the-scenes stuff can be better then what's shown. Either way. It keeps people in the seats. I was a regular in the seats of few shows when I lived in California. There are times when it does feel like you're being held hostage but depending on the show, you cam normally walk out with free stuff or stories to tell.
You mean by a teacher who has nothing but spite for there students, and hate how they act, so forces them to do a skit that is based on the teacher's bastardisation perception of how his students behave.
The joke itself was already bad, but what made it worst was the awkward pause then the awkward laugh. Moreover, the terrible delivery of "congrats" was an absolute train wreck
The hospital skit straight up is what I’d expect a group of parents to do to embarrass their kids when a new slang or a new trend hits high school, except it’s worse because no ones watching it!
Usually old shows that are failing bring on the celebrities, pretty standard stuff. I'm actually pretty olay with Elon, and sort of bummed he got lumped in with this disaster of a show.
I remember 20 years ago all the rich and popular kids would get together on saturday night to watch SNL and I was "lucky" enough once they invited me and it was the first time I had seen it and it just wan't funny.
@about you Please stop spamming this. Not everyone needs to be shoved religious readings in their face by a bot. You also don't get any more clicks on this than normal because nobody clicks on links which have no context.

It's annoying for sure but that's how it is :/
That hospital skit could've worked if they didn't make *every damn line* be gen z slang, or if it was written well with a good setup and punchline. But no, the whole punchline was to just say cringe things which resulted in making the audience cringe
It COULD'VE worked if they had a straight man. Like the patient being admitted is an older generation and distressed they don't understand any of the slang. Having a straight man in a nonsensical skit is comedy 101.
The concept behind _Saturday Night Live_ isn't inherently bad. It's just executed poorly. One of the biggest problems I see with their approach is related to something Charlie touches on: they don't seem to write for a primary audience. By not doing so, they confuse the audience they do have. Commenting on current things that young people are doing may _resonate_ with older people but specifying the trends and events going on will make them unable to latch onto it since they aren't a part of that generation. As for younger viewers, the references used may not always register with them because they were written by and for people who came before their time. The other big issues I noticed are their attempts to satirize and explain current things. Once you explain a joke, the joke isn't funny anymore. Once something reaches mainstream media, people don't want anything to do with it. These don't work. The show is essentially the product of a group of out-of-touch writers trying to be like Voltaire and failing to the highest degree.
The main issue with SNL is that it's supposed to be the jumping-off point for exciting new actors. Jim Carrey comes in, does his bit, then leaves to be a famous actor, same with John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and a bunch of great comedic actors. It becomes bad when it becomes just another comedy sketch show, where established actors demand millions to be on the show and celebrities regularly appear in sketches. They're supposed to give the next John Belushi or Chris Farley their big break, not give Elon Musk an ego boost.

The sad thing is that people in middleschool-highschool act way worse than this, this wasn't even close to how tiktokers and kids with iq lower than room temperature act in public
@@witherwarrior1148 it's not that the phrases are not used like that, its that they're not doing anything with the phrases. They're just regurgitating them in a cringey way.
The gen z skit is them literally using "trendy" words like "bruh" and "pressed" as their dialogue. No clever jokes about social media or Tik Tok just "I'm so pressed right now bro."
I know what you feel My favourite channel was taken down Probably becouse they used normal amount of ads Most of up to 30min shows didn't had a commercial break Only leaving channels where advertisement is third if not more of transmission time
I agree I believe the problem is that they’ve moved much more away from brining on talented comedians, actors, or simply just entertaining guests to bringing on “influencers” and people who they know will garner a larger audience even if they have little to no experience in this feild*cough* Elon.
Literally my comment. I think it’s because Fox sucks at promoting good stuff but also because of their “morals” they don’t like stuff that pushed the envelope too much. I mean, look what happened to Futurama. But Family Guy is fine because it’s all fart jokes now.
@@RoKer13 Not just MadTV, In Living Color was fucked by Fox too. Keenan Ivory and Damon Wayans had to leave the show cause the execs were getting ridiculous and even Jim Carrey wanted to scramble out of there.

it's only potentially funny until you realize that language evolves and doctors and nurses would want to use slang/plain language to explain things to patients and their families. Idk.
Charlie I think you were a bit too harsh on Elon Musk. You do forget you were the star of Hunger Games; An actor whos skills is far beyond his own years. Elon is just a guy that fires giant vibrators into space.
The fact that a show in your childhood used to make you laugh and then after a decade or so realize that it is not funny anymore is so sad at some point.
Yeah, just like Adam Sandler’s career (or Will Ferrell or Melissa McCarthy or anyone else that somehow became famous through this show), SNL is just a small smattering of fantastic skits in between many, many, unbearably bad ones. Watch any 70’s skit and tell me if it’s still funny or even witty.
@@backtoshellac6459 Yeah, my guess is he's never actually watched classic SNL. What do people like him expect to happen anyway, everyone just simultaneously goes "Oh, I guess he's right, I was wrong about my own opinion"?
My dad watches it but I never hear him laugh. I think the audience is people are so focused on what the show used to be they didn’t realize it slowly getting worse and worse over the years so they keep watching it.
Dude when Charlie showed the hospital skit I literally entered a state of absolute disconnection. I almost lost my soul to the abyss and been left a hollow shell in my computer chair, I feel like I have to visit my doctor.
That fucking gen Z skit. It's pretty easy to make me laugh, whether it be laughing at it, laughing with it, thinking of something funny while looking at it, awkward laughter, I haven't stared at something that has the intention of getting a reaction out of me with a completely straight face in such a long time.
Man, that's such an awkward feeling when you know that the thing is trying so hard to make you laugh, and all you can do is stare blankly while the blood drains from your brain because it's so unfunny.
that should have been the joke, but it would've been too real (that's why most of their jokes about millennials were like "lol cell phones" not "lol crushing student debt")
The fact that Charlie’s 1 insult against SNL is way funnier than the entire show tells us that corporations are so out of touch with the definition of comedy.
@@mikethepublisher7910 yeah, I mean I think most of the skits are alright, but they definitely have some that are just polarizing or stupid. But on the flip side they have some really hilarious ones. Unfortunately it seems like there are more bad ones then good ones now.
I think someone once said that comedians have to be the most in touch with reality and today's world, moreso than anyone else. The results speak for themselves. When comedy has to be snipped, watered down, and essentially neutered to NOT offend people, it's no longer comedy.
Here we go with the sycaphant going "TH-camr is the pinnacle of comedy perfection because I liked one joke someone said, but yeah that one joke should define comedy forever and all you plebs don't understand the finer points of Comedy."
Whatever. If it didn't get viewers it would've been canceled by now. The fact that it's still on the air says it still has an audience. What I don't understand is people like you, and the guy who uploaded the video in the first place, this penguinz0, or Charley, or whatever his name is. If you don't like the show, don't watch it, it's really that simple. It's why I never watch televised golf tournaments. But I don't complain that televised golf tournaments exist. At the end of the day, what's your real complaint? That everyone doesn't like the same things you like?
@@dracomaifoy7377 Wow, you seem very disconnected from reality dude. So here's your dopey logic 'if you don't like it don't watch and don't say anything' yet here u are...under my comment. Mhmm makes sense🙃
The "gen z hospital" sketch just sounds like they found random words on tiktok and injected them into a bad script in any place where they might have had the possibility of maybe sounding comprehensible
Imagine working 12 hours at a Tesla factory, be sore and really tired, go home, turn on the TV, and see your boss cosplay as an Italian dude on a comedy show
I remember that my parents stopped watching SNL around when my younger sister was born, saying it was going downhill and not really fun to watch anymore. She's going off to college this year. Really puts the "it used to be good" into perspective lmao.
My ex's sister that's 33 loves SNL. She's the type that obsesses over Grey's Anatomy, wine and live laugh love type of signs if that help paint an image at all.
Yeah my friend's wife is in her early thirties and will throw a child-like fit if she misses SNL. She is the type who thinks she's extremely intelligent but is actually very small-minded and will start to cry/tear-up if we play devil's advocate with her views. So yup. These types of people are watching.
I was a teenager when SNL debuted and in retrospect I think it's reputation was so high because there were only about eight channels of television at the time. It was already an institution by the time there was real competition.
Dude, eight channels? I remember three before UHF was a thing, and I’m four years younger...’course that was in the wild wilderness of southern NH...must be you were a city slicker 😛
The Wario skit feels like a YTP made in 2008-09 by a couple of last year High School drama students who could not be assed to take anything seriously anymore
When Tina Fey was in charge and the Lonely Island guys where writing and doing stuff for the show. It definitely had a resurgence and they had a lot of great stuff. The show was good, maybe even great depending on your taste in humor. That was the last time I remember it being worth watching.
Yeah true, Tina Fey was hilarious and a great writer. All the Lonely Island stuff was great too. I remember all their skits and songs were quoted for years. I can’t imagine anyone quoting SNL now, they should just let it die.
My mom legit sat me down last night and said "let me show you this SNL skit about Gen Z it was really funny" I wanted to die so much more than I already did
I could never understand why SNL is always on so late, like 11:30pm. I've always liked SNL ( mostly in the 80's, not so much now ), but always wondered why it wasn't broadcasted at say 10pm when most people are actually still awake, lol.

The sad thing is that people in middleschool-highschool act way worse than this, this wasn't even close to how tiktokers and kids with iq lower than room temperature act in public
The slang hurts to be used like that.
@@witherwarrior1148 it's not that the phrases are not used like that, its that they're not doing anything with the phrases. They're just regurgitating them in a cringey way.
The gen z skit is them literally using "trendy" words like "bruh" and "pressed" as their dialogue. No clever jokes about social media or Tik Tok just "I'm so pressed right now bro."
I've never heard the word "pressed"

The amount of commercials literally make TV unwatchable. I can't understand why anyone would put up with it in this current day.

My favourite channel was taken down
Probably becouse they used normal amount of ads
Most of up to 30min shows didn't had a commercial break
Only leaving channels where advertisement is third if not more of transmission time
8 minutes of ads for like 4 minutes of content is insulting.
The weirded thing about it is you pay a premium and STILL Watch commercials.

I agree I believe the problem is that they’ve moved much more away from brining on talented comedians, actors, or simply just entertaining guests to bringing on “influencers” and people who they know will garner a larger audience even if they have little to no experience in this feild*cough* Elon.
I’m so confused how Mad tv got canceled but SNL survived like a roach in the apocalypse.
Literally my comment. I think it’s because Fox sucks at promoting good stuff but also because of their “morals” they don’t like stuff that pushed the envelope too much. I mean, look what happened to Futurama. But Family Guy is fine because it’s all fart jokes now.
I tell you every ting.He ahh.. looka like a man!
Because SNL did well in ratings and Mad TV did not?
I remember SNL was the only place i saw Will Ferrell be genuinely funny.
@@RoKer13 Not just MadTV, In Living Color was fucked by Fox too. Keenan Ivory and Damon Wayans had to leave the show cause the execs were getting ridiculous and even Jim Carrey wanted to scramble out of there.

The fact that a show in your childhood used to make you laugh and then after a decade or so realize that it is not funny anymore is so sad at some point.
It's even worse when you realized that it's not that is not good anymore, but that it never was and you were just a child who laughed at everything
Yeah, just like Adam Sandler’s career (or Will Ferrell or Melissa McCarthy or anyone else that somehow became famous through this show), SNL is just a small smattering of fantastic skits in between many, many, unbearably bad ones. Watch any 70’s skit and tell me if it’s still funny or even witty.
It was never funny. That's the hard part to accept.
Like Daniel Tosh said "SNL was never funny, you were just happy that mom and dad let you stay up past 9pm."
@@backtoshellac6459 Yeah, my guess is he's never actually watched classic SNL. What do people like him expect to happen anyway, everyone just simultaneously goes "Oh, I guess he's right, I was wrong about my own opinion"?
*You can just feel Elon goading us into bringing out the guillotines again.*
My dad watches it but I never hear him laugh. I think the audience is people are so focused on what the show used to be they didn’t realize it slowly getting worse and worse over the years so they keep watching it.
this comment made me sad 😭😭😭😭
Hypnotoad!
Dude when Charlie showed the hospital skit I literally entered a state of absolute disconnection. I almost lost my soul to the abyss and been left a hollow shell in my computer chair, I feel like I have to visit my doctor.
I couldn't even bring myself to watch it. I had to close my eyes and listen to the absolute torture that was that skit.
A doctor? No you need a therapist/Jesus my friend
I think I started laughing but not because it was funny but my as my sanity went and I was begging my villain arc
Wow that describes the feeling pretty well
Something hasn't ever made me physically cringe to the point of nausea like this
gen z hospital feels like the person who wrote it found a whole list of modern slang and just slapped in how they saw fit

That fucking gen Z skit. It's pretty easy to make me laugh, whether it be laughing at it, laughing with it, thinking of something funny while looking at it, awkward laughter, I haven't stared at something that has the intention of getting a reaction out of me with a completely straight face in such a long time.

@@mikethepublisher7910 yeah, I mean I think most of the skits are alright, but they definitely have some that are just polarizing or stupid. But on the flip side they have some really hilarious ones. Unfortunately it seems like there are more bad ones then good ones now.
I think someone once said that comedians have to be the most in touch with reality and today's world, moreso than anyone else. The results speak for themselves.
When comedy has to be snipped, watered down, and essentially neutered to NOT offend people, it's no longer comedy.
Here we go with the sycaphant going "TH-camr is the pinnacle of comedy perfection because I liked one joke someone said, but yeah that one joke should define comedy forever and all you plebs don't understand the finer points of Comedy."
the gen z skit is exactly what i would see on tiktok as on ironic joke.
At least this episode of SNL being received so poorly shows that not every idiot that logs onto Twitter is dictated by irony.
...and that's why it made me laugh.
Drew Gooden just did a review of SNL from its first season up to today. It's worth a watch.

Whatever. If it didn't get viewers it would've been canceled by now. The fact that it's still on the air says it still has an audience. What I don't understand is people like you, and the guy who uploaded the video in the first place, this penguinz0, or Charley, or whatever his name is. If you don't like the show, don't watch it, it's really that simple. It's why I never watch televised golf tournaments. But I don't complain that televised golf tournaments exist.

More realistic version of genZ hospital would be someone dying in a hospital bed while their nurse does a dance for tik tok in front of them.
When Tina Fey was in charge and the Lonely Island guys where writing and doing stuff for the show. It definitely had a resurgence and they had a lot of great stuff. The show was good, maybe even great depending on your taste in humor. That was the last time I remember it being worth watching.
I loved those years, they were goofy but well written.
It all went downhill after a few people left and the jokes got more tame and political.
