It ain't funny, but it's a sign of the times:

Once you introduce something being from Saturday Night Live, this:

It ain't funny...

is understood.

[BakedPenguin]

I do have to admit that it was decent satire, though.

[SIV]

I'm pleasantly surprised they did that sketch. Is anything on SNL funny ?

[Scotticus Finch]

Ke$ha's dancing was pretty hilarious last week.

It was like a middle-school cheerleading routine. Not that I hang out at those...

[Lester Hunt]

They are truly, and quite literally, the ruling class.

It's nice that the entertainment industry is free of abusive unions.

Such as the Film Actors Guild?

[SAG]

Don't forget us!

I like my acronym better.

[So does...]

Matt Damon!

[SAG]

Yeah, but now that boob implants are on the way out...

[Ernie the Bear]

Wait, SNL is still on?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

That routine really died. If you filter out the fake-audience responses, it sounds like they got almost no response at all. Still, I'm glad they did it.

Pretty good satire about gov't waste and fraud performed in front of a studio audience of mostly doctrinaire liberals. No wonder it didn't get many laughs.

[Christopher Monnier]

People love to hate on Saturday Night Live. I like it.

[Billy!]

It was always more hit and miss than people want to remember. Even during whatever age one thinks was the golden age.

[Tulpa]

Yes, but it's almost all miss at this point.

[James Anderson Merritt]

I think it was a gutsy move for SNL. But Reason, was your move as gutsy? Do you get a kickback for the Colgatge advertisement that people must get through if they click the video link? This is almost as bad as clicking through to a registration/subscription site.

Well, it was not totally unfunny . . .

But things must be serious if even SNL notices.
