SNL skit about VP and Trump is very funny. Baldwin playing Trump and Baldwin caught on tape makes it ... (president, political)

[scirocco]

You know if a public figure can't laugh at themselves, then there is a problem.

Trump, and I am a Trump fan, is ever so sensitive. He is also a big man , something like this skit should not be so troubling to him.

For what it's worth they ridiculed Hillary just as much.

That will probably be the first time they've ever been sued. I hope they can handle the pressure...

They did at the very beginning and that was it. If you want to to see it done equally, watch South Parks take on the debates.

it would come down to the same legal theory as trump's lawsuit against bill maher for claiming trump was the "spawn" of an orangutan. satire/parody has a special exception in libel/slander cases. for trump to win the burden of proof would be on him to prove that to a "rational" person the skit wasn't a joke and SNL were trying to accurately portray trump.

i'd love to see that.

i actually thought the clinton parts were funnier in this sketch

"you're a teacher?"
"no,"
"you have kids?"
"no."
"you like kids?"
"not really"
"you've seen kids?"
"yes."
"so have i. we're connecting!"

SNL has fallen off.

OMG... SNL has been on for how many years? And, doing 'agenda comedy' for all those years. But, only now, when it targets poor little trump, it is a horrible show? All I say to trump is 'grow up'.

Of course, when you act like Trump who gets butt-hurt over everything like a little petulant child... that just makes it funnier!

Here's what Trump said in case you missed it:

"Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!"

Just about the time you think you have seen it all, here he comes again. He can invent new ways of shooting himself in the foot every day. Of all the stupid ideas, this is over the top - getting angry at an iconic parody show like SNL? SNL has been poking fun at candidates for decades, why does Trump think he is special? I guess it's a little bit of an exaggeration to call this an "idea" it is just another expulsion of narcissistic childish blather from his brain, we should get used to it. Does anyone actually respect this clown?

OMG, the skit last Saturday was a riot !!! I have watched it a bunch of times and laughed my tail off each time. This is one of the best parodies SNL has ever done.


I missed the one last night, but I will look it up on YouTube.


Baldwin is hilarious and spot on.
