      When Drew was quoting people who said, "SNL hasn't been funny since the 70's/80's," all I could think was, "These poor souls obviously haven't seen the Stefon sketches." They're some of the funniest skits to ever come out of SNL imo.

    As a 20-year-old, I just recently started watching SNL, because I used to think it was all dumb. Now I realized you have to carefully choose which sketches you watch (depending on actors, sketch title, and video thumbnail lol). And having no nostalgic attachment to any era, I agree with Drew that the late 90s to around 2011 was the funniest era.

    Pete Davidson is hilarious but his roles on SNL are usually awkward and unfunny. It is mainly because instead of making a sketch just for him to show of his comedic talent, they put him in a lot of sketches with unimportant roles just to attract younger audience.

    • @graceinasweater9169
      @graceinasweater9169 3 ปีที่แล้ว +71

    • @anniecronin66
      @anniecronin66 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      Pete could write his own sketches if he wanted to have a recurring character and be on the show more, that's what Seth Meyers did and he worked his way up to the top. but he doesn't have to and honestly im guessing that he really just doesn't care enough anymore. if he does actually try to get sketches on its probably bc they're not funny enough. I dont really follow him tho so idk

      @@TheListenerCanon It's looking more and more like he's gonna take over once Lorne Michaels retires. I hope so because Kenan is so godamm versatile and understands the humor in all the sketches he's in, be it the traditional sketches to the weird and experimental ones. It gives me hope that if he were to become the head of the show, he'd be more open to different and more modern kinds of humor, something Lorne has never really been and something that drags the show down due to Lorne's giant influence on what sketches get shown.

    • @TheJamesM
      @TheJamesM 5 ปีที่แล้ว +70

      I strongly disagree with this point. It's very true that comedy with an agenda can often go off the rails in service of that agenda, but comedy can also be used as a very effective way of communicating ideas, including opinions. I guess what's important is whether it's done skilfully - it's probably harder to do good comedy with an agenda, because the work is in service of two goals - and whether the agenda eclipses the humour. But the idea that something can't do both things - make people laugh, and make people agree - is kind of ridiculous. It's a balance that has to be struck, for sure, but generally creative works are striking all kinds of balances. It's part of the craft.
      Anyway, I've never seen a complete episode of SNL, but I'm very willing to believe the anti-Trump stuff is bad. Plenty of political humour is ham-fisted, lacking in insight, and kind of pointless. I just think it's a mistake to jump from that to "comedy can't want to do anything other than make you laugh". I think that's hugely limiting.

    I feel like one of the only actual great actors on SNL at this moment is Kenan Thompson. I watched skits that he was in as a promo for his new show and I loved them. At first I just walked into my dad's room and saw it playing and I was like "are these just the funniest snl sketches compilation" and he said it was a promo compilation. I think that since he's had so much experience for 18 years then also being on All That( Which is a show a old show on Nickelodeon which had sketches). There are also amazing actors like Kate Mckinnon, Beck Bennet, Alex Moffat, and a few more that are good but Kenan Thompson is the best actor on SNL.

      I honestly really liked it. They knew what they were doing 100%, like with the Oogi Show and the Gen Z hospital which very much intended to be as cringe as possible. is that good writing? that's up for debate, it doesn't land for me, but I don't think it was bad.
      Chad on Mars, the Western sketch, and Elon Wario were absolute classics for me.
      and everything else aside, Elon does have Aspbergers, which is pretty apparent if you just watch his speech, mannerisms, etc during his monologue. It's not particularly easy to just get up in front of that many people and perform, and in that sense I think he did a great job.

    I genuinely think last season into this season is the turning point we’ve been waiting for. 2nd half of last season (NOT including the Elon episode) was very underrated imo. For example last season’s episodes hosted by Timothee Chalamet, Rege-Jean Page, Carey Mulligan (good ep overall but Bowen as the iceberg from Titanic made it amazing), Keegan-Michael Key, and Anya Taylor-Joy were all great episodes. This season is even better and the new cast members (Aristotle, Sarah Sherman, JAJ and Please Don’t Destroy) have all been fantastic so far.

    I feel like the "it's too political now" thing isn't really accurate, it's just that SNL has been harping on the same couple of points over and over again. There are also lots of skits that arent centered around politics but are inherently political one way or another. I think SNL has just been harping on on the same "trump orange and fat get it" and that just feels lazy and, like you said, mean-spirited.

      SNL's brand involves finding the most lukewarm, unlikely to cause a hubbub political takes and putting jokes to them.

      @@samkadel8185 "political opinions that value human life are considered "far left" that is a gross oversimplification and you know it, my suggestion is that you get off Twitter and start looking into the whole spectrum of politics. Bubbles are not healthy. Also you contradict yourself in your comment. If SNL was looking for safe political takes, why are they bashing on Trump? because it is "safe" to do so.
      The problem is that people around the globe, not just America, is sick and tired of hearing about Trump and "woke politics". Even here in my country we hear about Trump on a daily basis, most people dont care and thats why people are turning away from stuff like that.
      Not because they dont value life, just apathy to media outlets that consistently pumps out this polarizing rhetoric, something you have also contributed to by saying only you and your political affiliations value human life, you will be met with resistance on that sense you will be viewed as a very smug elitist when doing that. Which in turn will only entrench your beliefs even more and your bubble will shrink and all of a sudden, everyone that does not encorporate the same values as you is a nazi or vice versa. Start listening and you will see that people have deeper thoughts then whats on the surface, it will broaden your perspective.
