n.n said...: The penis has penetrated the vagina, the sperm have entered the uterus, they are turning into the fallopian tube, approaching the ovary, the race is over... baaaby!; 4/16/25, 11:39 AM
The Vault Dweller said...: The skit was alright. The chosen topic reminded me of an article posted here a while ago, I think from the NYT. The article was about a gay couple wanting a child and talked about designer baby choices. One of the top comments for the article, again in the NYT, was a person complaining about the couple wanting to design their baby and said a message that was in effect, "You get the baby God gives you." I suspect there will be a lot of unwinding of what were perceived as Left Wing Shibboleths over the last many years at least in degree but also maybe in kind, given the toxicness of "Woke" politics.; 4/16/25, 11:41 AM
CJinPA said...: Good stuff. Reminds all that half of the cultural football field is wide open waiting for someone to play on it instead of cramming in on one half and making the same jokes.

The writers must be thinking "There's a ton of confusion about trans. Could I do that? No. Too far. I can't."; 4/16/25, 11:58 AM
bagoh20 said...: Funny, because it's true. The power of being offended is strong in our culture. You used to step outside and shoot at each other, which kept it to a minimum, especially any recidivism.; 4/16/25, 12:14 PM

loudogblog said...: I'm surprised that they did a skit making fun of progressive people who have a constant chip on their shoulders about almost everything.; 4/16/25, 12:46 PM
Joe Bar said...: Next I want to see a skit where they ask a transwoman if he/she still has a penis.; 4/16/25, 1:01 PM
Aggie said...: I though it was pretty well done, as a comedy skit. It's poking fun at the gatekeeping Karens of all races, sexes, genders, and persuasions.; 4/16/25, 1:21 PM
boatbuilder said...: I laughed. Although the weird thing at the end with the baby as an adult black woman (some celeb I don't know?) was a little odd.; 4/16/25, 2:34 PM
Rosalyn C. said...: I liked the line about who's the mother and they riff on their gender roles,; 4/16/25, 3:19 PM

mikee said...: I remember when Richard Dreyfuss wearing a pink feather boa atop a piano, singing "I Wanna Be Seduced, I want a woman to make a man outta me!" was considered such outrageous SNL humor that the song was not included in the official online episode. And I kinda miss those days.; 4/17/25, 11:33 AM
