If he clicks his heels together, will he end up back in the White House? This is why satirists are struggling. How can they compete with Trump sneakers.....
Conservatives always accuse Dems of being humorless scolds, and they are quite right to do that. It might be a good idea to be a bit less po-faced yourselves when the joke is on you. I thought the skit was pretty funny. The dig at Biden at the end was more insulting than the Trump part.
If you watch the sketch to the end, they take a crack at Biden. It's very fleeting, but it's a palpable hit....I don't ordinarily watch SNL. Could one of that show's many fans here tell me if they ever even once directed a dig against Obama.
They did hit Biden in the end, a pair of ugly velcro sneakers called "Air Bidens". The wearer immediately fell down. That was the funniest part of the skit I thought.
Also, opening the box of Trump shoes reminded me of the scene in Pulp Fiction where they opened the mysterious briefcase. You didn't see what was in it but it emitted a golden light, like the Lost Ark.

You’re going to love the Kiss Me Deadly scene from 1955.
It reminds me of the 2016 campaign when Trump held up a couple of Trump steaks marketing them in front of a gaggle of reporters. I was already going to vote for him but when he did that I knew it was a moral imperative. What a middle finger to convention!
Wow, I watched and didn't laugh. Of course, humor is subjective. Personally, I found it a one-joke sketch stretched out to 3 minutes with bad comedic acting. The cast for SNL is diverse, but 2nd rate. Maybe they could hire Dave Chappelle.
A friend of mine shared a clip from X/Twitter posted by Simon Atemba of an Italian comedy show mocking Biden’s age and incapacity. Doing the thing that SNL should be doing if they weren’t in the tank for the Democrats.
What was it that Putin said when somebody asked him a few days ago what he thought about Joe Biden calling him a "crazy S.O.B"? He said "I told you that he was predictable, that's why I prefer him to win." Well, this was predictable.
Just one more free ad for Biden, like Sunday Morning, the news show where they tried to explain why people only "thought" that the economy was worse, that actually it's way better than they think, and if the breakfast waitress would only take a peak at her stock portfolio, or go on Zillow to see what her three bedroom home in the suburbs with the two car garage is worth, she would see that we are all doing great under Biden!
Of course economists are saying that this flood of cheap labor flowing over the border is going to suppress wages for years, maybe decades, but that's not gonna help Joe get re-elected to point that out!
Is it a useful word? A word for which no substitute exists, and which conveys an important concept? An indispensable word? Or is it just a word people use basically as an ornament.
That was pretty good. I personally like Shane Gillis' impression a little more. They even threw in a little joke at Biden at the end. I don't think that would have happened if Jon Stewart didn't bring up Biden's competency on his show a couple weeks back.

Haha. Inspires to excellence- Ann pulling a Trump on us with SNL
"Oh yah, SNL is great! I guess I need to watch!"
The SNL skit misses Trump's participation in the humor, which is what men like. Women just want Trump defeated.
That was pretty mediocre...which by SNL standards is excellence!
Shane Gillis?! Did Bowen Yang sulk when he found out?
Trump would never say ‘pastiche’.
Funny. One aspect of the funny is how the Trump character uses the 2 + 2 = 5 argument the Dems constantly use.
The border is secure.
The economy is good.
Joe is not senile.
2 + 2 = 5
Beautiful. The shoes are working as intended.
The only one that can beat Trump is his mouth.
If Biden was in this skit, I didn’t see him.
More deplorable bashing. Hillary created the playbook.
Did NBC(D) mock Old Crook Barisma Joe in any of the sketches?
There is no bad press. Trump nails it again.
You possess a very low standard for the word “excellence,” Althouse.

Begleys new talking points must require him to post 2+2=5 to get paid.
Despite how it doesn't fit, he tries to make it a thing. The line 'stop trying to make fetch happen' comes to mind.
Is that show still on? Why?

The Air Biden Ray Ban wearer fell over at the end, as if from a puff of wind.
Hilarious! I like how the skit ended with Air Bidens.
Couldn't show Joe with his thin white hair plugs or as a pathological lier and fabulist?
Cold open was pretty funny too.

No, he would not. I'd bet has no clue what the word means.
All in all one of the better SNL skits.
OK, that was very funny.

Funny concept, but the self-awareness is sorely lacking.
This from the people who think the border is secure.
Compared to what I've seen lately from SNL, I think they high-topped themselves.
Tip your waiter...
Wait, did the SNL producers actually shell out the simoleons and contribute to the Trump campaign? Now that would be funny.

"You should sell shoes"

And you all insist we should follow and elect this joke of a man.
"I'd bet he has no clue what the word means."
And I'd say the same about 85-90% of regular SNL viewers.
Ha!
Sold 'em out in minutes.

Mark:

Of course it does, you live by it. It's just a different set of fetches you do.
That was really funny. (Because there is a large measure of truth in it. A lot of what Trump is is his bravado.)
That was pretty good. I personally like Shane Gillis' impression a little more. They even threw in a little joke at Biden at the end. I don't think that would have happened if Jon Stewart didn't bring up Biden's competency on his show a couple weeks back.

It’s a word that’s helps me not be prolix.

I was amused at the idea that they actually bought the shoes.

Dave Begley is a genius. Leave him alone or answer to me.
