SNL cousin skit on St. Patrick's Day offensive

[njhoneybadger]

Get some decent writers

[superpatriotman]

1. Then you won't like

The old guy on Cialis in the wheelchair having sex with his girlfriend during game night with the girls.

[njhoneybadger]

3. I'm not finding anything funny, my expectations were too high I guess

[Rorey]

7. I only watch for Weekend Update

My expectations are no longer very high for SNL.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Same with me - plus the Cold Open. Here you go, Weekend Update if you missed it:

18. Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon12866]

20. You're very welcome!

We have to find the humor wherever we can these days!

[redstateblues]

5. Ive had a couple vodka and sodas and it all seems funny to me

Then again I’m welsh

[njhoneybadger]

8. That's funny

[LisaM]

13. I have a lot of Irish...

I laughed all the way through it.

[RKP5637]

27. ...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. That one wasn't very good

Rather tasteless in my opinion.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Good Grief! I know!

[bettyellen]

2. My parents were from Ireland and I peed my pants, LOL. But not really because of the

cousin stuff.

[Rorey]

4. I'm not Irish

I didn't think it was funny, and I didn't think it was acceptable.

[njhoneybadger]

6. Thank you, I'm not crazy

[vercetti2021]

10. So far I think it's all funny

But my level for humor is pretty low

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. John Goodman as Rex Tillerson was pretty funny.

[njhoneybadger]

12. I think John Goodman stinks as an actor, but Rex Tillerson was fair

[kwassa]

35. I think he is a great actor.

[alphafemale]

14. So you think inbreeding with your aunt or uncles child is acceptable?

Pretty much unacceptable for a century I'd say.

[MineralMan]

26. Half of the states in this country allow first cousin marriages.

You might think it's icky, but apparently it is acceptable.

[alphafemale]

29. 14 states allow the rape of animals. Probably many of the same ones.I bet.

Still not something that is OK.

[MineralMan]

33. Ah, never mind...

You can see which states are OK with first-cousin marriage and which are not at the link I provided. Worldwide, it's a pretty common practice, and medically doesn't really pose much risk for problems, as has been learned through research.

You think it's not OK. So, I recommend that you not marry a cousin. Otherwise, I can't see how its any more our business than people getting married who are same-gender persons. Many people think that's not OK, but it's certainly legal in the United States finally.

I never considered marrying any of my cousins. I rarely even saw them, frankly. I did kiss one cousin a few times when I was a teenager, though. I don't remember any particular feelings of guilt about that.

Apparently you get skeeved out by cousins who fall in love with each other and want to marry. None of my business, I figure, really. If it's legal for them to get married, then why would I have any objections to that?

17. Last year's "Irish skit" was rubbish too, so no surprise. That said, where

Mike Pence's people are from, there was a helluva lot of cousins marrying cousins. Not sure if it was the basis for an SNL skit though.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Do you have a link to a clip?

I didn't see it.

[pansypoo53219]

21. the last movie/ad was pretty good.

just use the office potty.

[EffieBlack]

22. The contrast between reactions to your OP and reactions to people being offended by Gal Godot's comm

is fascinating.

I guess being offended is ok for some people but not others ...

(This is not a knock on you. Just an observation about the different kind and tone of responses to someone saying they are offended by something they found insensitive)

[NCTraveler]

31. The show being mentioned is offensive by design.

Has been for decades. It’s well known.

[milestogo]

23. BRING BACK AL FRANKEN!

[a kennedy]

24. No.....not as a comedian but as My Senator......

[Hawaii Hiker]

25. The Jurassic Park screen test was funny

Especially the Gwen Stefani

[appalachiablue]

28. Is there a Clip of this SNL skit? Tx.

[NCTraveler]

30. Many of their sketches are offensive.

Damn near most of them. It’s been a cornerstone of the show for decades.

[dembotoz]

32. then don't watch...not like its a brand new show or anything

[BannonsLiver]

38. +1

Some here would like to see satire banned, it appears.

[aikoaiko]

34. Video of SNL St. Patrick's Day Skit

I chuckled a few times.

[Kirk Lover]

36. SNL has been hit or miss for many many years. I come to expect or hope for a few good skits

for the whole show and on occasion a skit great.
Weekend Update is always good but sometimes meanders down the silly. But you can always count on that.

So see you won't be disappointed if you just lower your expectations.
I've also seen some musical acts that I did not know and enjoyed...so that is always a plus. I guess that means
I'm gettin' old.

[BannonsLiver]

37. I generally turn it off after an hour

Most stuff after weekend update is weak. Always has been from day 1.
