What? I will admit that sometimes SNL lands a good Trump joke. And I generally trust Althouse to only highlight genuinely funny SNL material. But this was utterly lame. The only mildly funny line was Baldwin’s reference to his parking spot meltdown. This skit was just weird. Giuliani is a vampire. Trump is having sex with Putin. I felt bad for the writers and a little embarrassed for Althouse.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

Nothing funny. They read Trump so badly that it's not an impersonation at all. It's just the lefty line on Trump.

Jupiter म्हणाले...

Oh, yeah. Ho, fucking ho.

rcocean म्हणाले...

"What did Nationalism ever to do Europe?"

Yuck, Yuck. How so-phisoto-cated.

Its like watching a 16 year old making snarky jokes about the HS Principal.

"Cause he's so dumb".

This makes me yearn for the days of Chevy Chase playing Gerald Ford and falling down.

Or Dana Carvey as George Bush.

Maybe they can hire Al Franken and up their game.

rehajm म्हणाले...

Co-opting the effective dig against the next women Democrats.

Die in a fire.

The Godfather म्हणाले...

The funniest line was the Saudi guy telling Trump he'd still sell oil to the US. I guess the SNL writers never heard of fracking.

Seriously (and I mean "seriously") there wasn't a clever line in the whole skit, much less a funny one. And I'm not even a Trumpster.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

Melania decorated the White House with the skulls of her enemies, was funny, whoever came up with that. Not SNL.

narciso म्हणाले...

heck even Michael donoghues 1981 season was better than this, but only on the margins,

rcocean म्हणाले...

I always feel bad about making fun of comedy. Because some people find it funny.

But the current SNL cast is completely untalented. I mean they're bad.

I mean Charles Rocket bad.

I assume SNL is just a cash machine and NBC execs rake in the $$$ - no matter how bad it is. Or maybe the audience is braindead.

that was the Babylon bee, the nadir of snl was in the 08-09 season, but then they went lower,

tim maguire म्हणाले...

I can't imagine laughing at a Baldwin skit knowing that Darrel Hammond is so much better at playing Trump but Baldwin gets the part anyway because he's Alec Baldwin.

Jimmy म्हणाले...

Funny if you are 13 years old. And have been listening to propaganda from the school, and MSMBC. Humor is subjective, yes. But the best barbs are done when you don't actively HATE the target. SNL is just an episode of the MSM, with an attempt at being funny. A long time ago, decades, SNL was funny. Now it's leftists, all the way down. It's funny only if you share the groupthink. When everybody else gets the joke, so do you. so cool.
Comedy isn't funny anymore. The Universities have given us a bunch of conformist, groupthink fools, who detest most of this country. Just another excuse to virtue signal about hip they are.

Sorry I guess I’ve lost my sense of humor. Not a single laugh. Well may Rudy was good for a chuckle. They lost me with the veiled nazi quip. When you have to go that low you got nuttin.

It would have been better if they had just shown us the drunk lama.

Wow, Alec Baldwin can joke about committing assault. How Progressive. It’s interesting how he continues to get a pass for all of his inappropriate behavior. I guess you just Gotta be on the right side of things.

We used it up during all the times SNL mocked President Precious.

Trumpster? Please, my preferred pronoun is Trumpalo.

When SNLwriters are telling the truth we are in Opposite Day. But the next few weeks events should tell whether it is Mueller orTrump that is a dedicated Traitor that takes mega cash bribes to cover up the selling out the American Deplorables to the highest bidder.

And how is France doing this week? The French Deplorables don’t seem to want to be part of the Fourth Reich either.

Humperdink म्हणाले...

You know what would have been a great SNL skit? Mocking Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize on the come. The jokes write themselves.

Trumpit म्हणाले...

Trumpster rhymes with dumpster, so it's a good name for such deplorable people.

Rudy is a vampire?

He made the city livable again.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

Usually Althouse just tells us that successful comedy is not good. In the past she's stated that particular SNL skits were awful when rich-from-comedy folks like Stern and Rogan have said those same skits were great.

Here, by not being a comedy dolt, she F-ed herself w/ her audience.

It's cool that being wrong can be the right course, w/ the right/wrong audience.

Odd, too.


P.S. Recently boss-lady asked if my blog (if I had one) would succeed. Answer = F no! I'm always surprised that most folks suck re knowing what they know ta do. If you know nothing else, by definition, knowing yer own limits should be certain! Why is that hard?

Inga...Allie Oop म्हणाले...

“@Althouse, if you found any of that funny you may need some psychotherapy. (I note that Inky has always needed psychotherapy.”

I note that Old Big Mike is taking on the role of the asshole curmudgeon in these threads since our other old Michael left. Anyone who didn’t see any humor at all in that skit is very deep into their Trump sychophancy/cultism. Not only have you lost your self respect, you’ve lost your sense of humor.

cf म्हणाले...

My preferred pronoun would be Trumpette.

Today i do simply refuse to give those Gleichschaltungers any eyeballs, even if I would learn something that would make me more dangerous against them.

Another day perhaps, I may come back and observe these Devils upending the American scaffolds, get training in deadly spite, and motivation and courage to do some overturning myself. but not today.

Ptewy.

William म्हणाले...

Closer to agitprop than to comedy. They should make the Trump piñata wear a dunce cap and then have different members of the cast curse him and spit on him. That should serve to soothe the spirits of the audience and cast members and fulfill their primal needs. It must be stressful having to pretend that their jokes are funny or even that they want them to be funny rather than hateful.

William म्हणाले...

After Al Franken got caught, he should have said that he was making fun of Roger Ailes. Everyone would have had a hearty laugh, and he'd still be in the Senate.

Maybe the real problem is that you've become so bitter in recent years that you've lost your sense of humor.

SNL? I'd rather watch old reruns on YouTube than any of the new stuff.

I wonder if Baldwin actually feels "in character" when he spoofs Trump? As someone who struggled to do vocal impressions, I don't find him convincing at all.

The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...

Looks like the person to the left of whoever is portraying Melania, is mocking disabled reporters.

They should raise the bar and try some fart jokes.

Inga...Allie Oop म्हणाले...

“Looks like the person to the left of whoever is portraying Melania, is mocking disabled reporters.”

Like Trump did? That person is supposed to be Giuliani and Guilliani actually does often do those motions with his hands when he is being interviewed. Go look at a few clips and see for yourself.

Michael The Magnificent म्हणाले...

I think it's cute the leftists think they finally have Trump cornered.

They need their pound of flesh, even if it isn't from the guilty person.

Remember them going after Scooter Libby, because he allegedly leaked Valery Plame's identity to Robert Novak? And as it turned out it was actually Richard Armitage who had leaked her identity to Novak?

The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...

I was just being snarky and pointing out how people can misinterpret a picture or even a video to read something into that didn't really exist. Similar to how people misinterpreted the pictures and video of Trump mocking the reporter. He was certainly mocking the reporter, but not for his disability. He was mocking the reporter because the reporter had been hoisted by his own petard, when he pushed back on Trump when Trump claimed that there were Muslims celebrating on 9-11 in New Jersey. The reporter claimed there wasn't even though he himself had written an article shortly after 9-11 claiming there were. The stammering voice and gesticulations Trump used were meant to mock a person who was exasperated at being caught in a lie or inexplicable situation. Trump also used the same voice and gesticulations to mock Ted Cruz. Also there is no evidence that Trump was even aware the reporter was disabled.

But if people persist in claiming Trump mocked a disabled reporter using his disability, then I am going to insist that SNL is mocking the disabled in this skit as well. Shame on the entire uncaring lot. I also saw an SNL video that mentioned sexual abuse of children, locks like everyone on that show supports that as well.

Hillary cast herself forever in the Evita role a long time ago.

The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...

I liked the ridiculous bro handshakes between Putin and the Crown Prince, and how that upset Trump. Even though Trump is unafraid to take actions that puts him at odds with international establishment types, you do get the sense that at least a part of him really wants people to like him, he wants to be the popular guy. Because of that I was willing to overlook the Saudi oil comment which is kinda silly because the US gets almost no Oil from Saudi Arabia. And given the fracking boom here in Oil and gas, the international policy options are shifting on oil.

cacimbo म्हणाले...

Trump tells better jokes at his rallies than SNL does on their show.

I only realized the vampire was Giuliani once they used his name, I also thought it was some kind of disabled thing with the hands. Had to google it to find out the joke - which is simply the left making fun of Giuliani's looks.

Humperdink म्हणाले...

"Like fanatics everywhere, the Trumpsters lack a sense of humor."

Untrue, I laughed my butt off when I saw Hillary falling into her campaign van. And also stumbling down a flight of steps. I thought she doing was her best Chevy Chase/Gerald Ford impression. Unless, of course, she was drunk.

The problem with Left-wing comics is they never think outside the box. Republicans are always made fun of for being:

1. Stupid (Ford/bush II)
2. Bigots or Religious hypocrites
3. Goofy, Uncool nerds (Nixon, Bush I)

But those don't work with Trump - and they didn't work with Reagan. in the 80s they kept trying to show Reagan as a movie actor idiot - but it never worked. And showing Trump as a moron doesn't work either.

One way to satirize Trump is to show him as glib, untrustworthy salesman who engages in outrageous puffery and hyperbole. But you'd have to write it well.

narciso म्हणाले...

That's why that Phil Hartmann sketch re Iran contra, was genuinely witty.

rcocean म्हणाले...

The Clintons are the easiest Satirical targets ever. But Comic Lefties don't want to attack them.

Obama wasn't just a hard target because he was black. He's a bland, intelligent man - there's no much there.

I think there was plenty to go after in Obama--his enormous self-regard was horrible, but pretty funny in a way.

His desperate efforts to be cool by inviting every rapper he could find to the White House.

The way he threw a baseball. Or rode a bike.

As to Alec Baldwin's impression--doesn't look like Trump (facial expressions all wrong), doesn't sound like Trump--Darrell Hammond, on the other hand, was fabulous.

Inga is upset that the police in Massachusetts dared to arrest 6 of her beloved "spark of divinity" MS13ers who just so happened to have happily carved up an innocent teen.

"That includes killing 17-year-old Herson Rivas on Aug. 2 with a large knife like they were “chopping wood.”

One of the accused, according to the affidavit, stabbed the defenseless teen “with such force his knife became warped during the attack.”

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/2018/11/ms_13_members_charged_in_lynn_slay#.XAF-ytzWfm8.twitter

Inga and the dems know that the arrests of these precious precious delightful lads takes 6 more immigrant votes for dems off the rolls in future elections.

Not to worry Inga. Ill bet the dems in Massachusetts can implement the same voting schemes as the dems put in place in CA so these wonderful lads can keep on registering their support for glorious dem policies.

And why is it not homophobic when they slur Trump by insinuating that he is bedding Putin?

I appreciate a pretty broad range of comedy, but I draw the line at Nazi accusations. That are also obvious and dumb. I don't see it.
