Remember when SNL was actually funny and relevant to pop culture? Now it’s just leftist asshats who hate Republicans.

Still waiting for Mediaite to post the Jon Stewart’s take on the class struggles within OWS 

Now, now…they can’t make fun of something they’re promoting!
Noticed the pained look on Jon’s face the whole time? Man he hated every minute of having to do that bit.

Maybe SNL can do a skit on Chris Matthews losing his Religion….

He looked like he was just pepper-sprayed !1!

I didn’t find the skit leftist at all…..I just found it very unfunny

or his mind

fail…epic fail

I’m a Romney fan and while not hilarious, I laughed

That actually might work with independents; it’s only you wingers who prefer the ‘excitement of your candidates saying nutty things.

You are looking at the Republican nominee.  They may like all the craziness in the clown car, but in the end they pull the lever for old reliable. 

SNL is merely the factory for future cancelled NBC programming.

like change we can believe in and open and transparent

Remember when Republicans were sometimes considered moderate w/o fearing the label of RINO? Don’t worry, SNL is still funny and relevant. They continue to satirize news & politics just as they always have.

I think your issue has to do more with the vast shift in right-wing ideology rather than the “leftist asshats who hate Republicans” on SNL. 

If a) you’re staying home to watch SNL or b) you have it on your dvr, you might need to re-think your social schedule.

Just saying. The SNL of recent and now is not funny. The last time it was funny was when Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri were the cheerleaders.

I think your issue has more to do with not knowing what’s funny.

Chris Matthews has a religion?

None of you are bright, nor funny.

If I need to justify the merits of a successful, multi-decade long, comedy sketch show.. then you’re kiiiiind of a hypocrite? Seriously. Here’s why – (Correct me if Im wrong) 

If my memory is accurate, I’m fairly confident that you are an outspoken supporter of Bill O’Reilly as evidenced by constantly citing his #1 ranking via Mediaite comments. Aaaannnd now? SNL mocks Republicans and you ignore their success? O’Reilly’s success is relevant but a ‘liberal’ comedy show like SNL isn’t? Oh, I forgot. Republicans are known for being the authority on comedy. HA!

Get real. Republicans have moved further right. That’s the issue. SNL hasn’t gotten ‘more liberal’. If you seriously think that then there’s really no hope for you. :(

yes it’s called hate america unless crony capitist like ge can steal tax payer dollers and give them to democrats

“Not funny”?  It may not be the best skit they’ve ever done, but it still worked.  It was better than a lot of the George W. Bush skits (talk about predictable).

it has been pretty crappy for the last few years?

sorry

I never said that SNL was more liberal. I’m young therefore I don’t know it’s original days. I can only comment that now, it’s not funny at all.

Also, I don’t comment on O’Reilly’s ratings. At least, not in the context in which you presume.

There are Youtube clips with hundreds of thousands of hits over randomness. Does that make them quality? No.

i never said snl was more liberal i think im young i just said it sucks

Those are only nutty things to your average right winger. 

I don’t know what you expected to happen.  OWS represents our society.  We are segregated because of class, not political ideology.  Even though OWS are mostly liberal, some have money, some don’t.  If you were sleeping in a park, wouldn’t you camp around people you trust. 

The skit was devastating.  Romney is a tool and everybody knows it.

When the material was so predictable what could you possible expect?

If you watched two seconds of his show you would know he is a Cathlic. 

your right hope and change was nutty

This sketch was pretty lame, but not cause it hurt your widdle republican feelings.

You guys just absolutely loathe the idea of ANYONE making fun of Republicans, don’t you? It’s not even about this sense of ‘balance’, where equal fun is made fun of Democrats. What you guys want it 100% mocking to anyone on the left while never, EVER satirizing anyone on the right.

I’m a proud America hating Demo(n)crat, yet I don’t mind at all when SNL or Letterman or the like make fun of my team. Whereas I can imagine people like you rubbing your shotguns and gritting your teeth if ANYONE ever said Bush Jr. was anything other than the best president since Ronald Reagan/George Washington.

Learn to not be

of then tell them to stop doing stupid things.

Says the guy posting on the comment section on a Sat night.

There is a shocker.  Another Rightwinger with no sense of humor.

pratice what you preace you do the same pussy

What the hell are you talking about?

nothing i just was surprised to see a real american here

sorry for the negative comment friend

Really hard to detect sarcasm sometimes, but assuming you’re sincere, no worries.

good to know you mega I am sincere and still sorry

It has always been produced by leftist asshats,  Just now you have lost your sense of humor due to stress caused by exposure to the walking snoozefests that are the 2012 GOP Presidential hopeless….er…hopefuls.

So, you have been staying home to watch it, have you?  Oops* you weren’t going out anyway, were you?

*Thanks and a tip o’ the hat to Rick Perry for use of his trademark phrase.

I wish SNL would jump on Republicans more. They would improve their ratings if they did . . . If you Republicans don’t want to be made fun of by every media around the world short of your own right wing outlets, then stop fielding idiots as your candidates. It’s simple, really.

Funny: “Committee To Elect Mitt Romney.”

Funnier: NBC is the “Committee to Re-Elect OBAMO.”

Oh, how anguished the leftist media will be next November when they realize that they exhausted themselves for nothing.

Talking ’bout your own problem, I see.

SNL should just start referring to him as President Danger.

I thought it was funny.  What made this funnier is that it sounded like a great ad campaign for Romney.  Who do you want in the White House?  The guy who bumbles along trying to figure things out.  The guy who has to continually watch his history in case something bad pops out.  Or the guy with a clean past, a serious person who has prepared for the job.  The one completely concentrating on the task at hand.  I’ll take the serious candidate over the wannabe every day.

Thanks for watching the Republican candidates for me. I sure haven’t been paying attention to them.

ABO.

I’m a female. And yes, I was home. I’m sick. Thanks for asking.

Um, who else would they be making fun of?  The Republicans are the only ones debating (ie making fools of themselves) atm.  I remember them making fun of the Obama/Clinton debacle back in 2008.  Republicans are just so touchy.

I’ve never heard anyone on the right, make that comment before!

How?

I laughed.

(R)epublican(V)ictimization(S)yndrome
to the extreme of conspiracy

Um..Samantha Bee did that “report”, not Jon.  Good to know you actually watched the clip and made an informed comment.

Really? She did? I bet Stewart didn’t introduce that segment, nor speak after it too! /sarc

Full of humor information. Thanks!
