I’m sure a lot of people are. I am as well. I don’t even know what a chappell roan is.

A chappell roan is any young female pop artist who doesn’t know what fascism is, but is inclined to vote for it when she sees it.

You’re not fighting the very real danger of Trumps fascist christian natiolism by intentionally misrepresenting leftists. Please stop.

There is stiff competition in that category.

Even going back to the first few seasons, there were an awful lot of misses, and very few hits.

We used to laugh about the killer bees, John Belushi’s Samurai, the coneheads, Dan Aykroyd saying, “Jane you ignorant slut!” on every Weekend Update, but when I look at them now, I’m not sure if the humor was there or just going along with the peer pressure.

On the other hand, I look at the old SCTV shows, and most of the sketches hold up very well.

Yup, I’ve been rewatching them. I think back and it was so funny, but the ones we remember were maybe one skit every 5 shows? Worse? Maybe one or two a year? There’s a reason we all say “it used to be better” - because nostalgia blocks out the bad ones

“SNL just isn’t as funny as it used to be”

Says every person 5 years after they started watching it in HS/college

I thought at some point I remember hearing that they sometimes write jokes for each other to make the other look bad which makes it funnier on a meta level, but that’s only if it’s true.

This is true. Michael baits Colin into reading racist stuff all the time.

It honestly wasn’t bad, and I certainly don’t see it as condemning Chappell. Honestly it’s saying it’s ridiculous to expect her to endorse a candidate or to be in the public eye 24/7. It’s very straightforward.
