SNL can only be relevant during a Republican administration because they will not take the same tack against a Dem administration. I'm happy, Repubs control the House, Senate and Presidency and the Dems controlling Hollywood and NY can give us their best humorous take on it.
part of the parody is on "fatal attraction" in which glenn close's character is a knife wielding homicidal maniac. i'm not bothered by the knife since i know the context but i am curious how many got the joke when the film was released 30 years ago ( before a good chunk of the target audience was born ).
They have Netflix? Just a guess.

Last nights SNL had Alec Baldwin hosting so I tuned in expecting to see him trashing on Trump as usual but instead Melissa Maccarthy opened the show with her stupid Sean Spicer mocking. I have a sense of humour and a bit of it was funny but it went on and on to the point where it was just bashing the Trump administration as nothing but a bunch of buffoons.
The worse came in what SNL calls a digital short since it is filmed off set. It had Kate Mckinnon who I think is usually very talented and funny playing her rendition of Kellyanne Conway in a send up to the "Fatal Attraction" movie.
In the sketch, Conway is played as a deranged woman stalking the CNN anchor Jake Tapper. She breaks into his apartment and waits for him to get home. She then throws a fit and throws a knife at him once and holds one to his throat twice until he agrees to put her on his show again.
So much for promoting positive feminism.
It was so sick, stupid and not at all funny. I couldn't believe what I was watching and it went on and on.
I turned off the show after that. We all know that SNL has been struggling with trying to be funny for years now but with sketches like this that border on R rated violence it is not at all funny and sinks to a new level of sickness.
Are they that obsessed with Trump that they are willing to turn their show into one big anti Trump political statement? Have they moved that far Left?
I think they have gone way to far with their Trump bashing.[/QUO
I thought it was funny. And Conway is creepy.
I'll add to that, when Fatal Attraction came out, feminists were in a tizzy over it. The portrayal of a completely unhinged woman was sexist to them. The simple explanation was that this was an insane individual but apparently it hit too close to home.

What's that got to do with this thread? I'll leave it at that
I didn't even argue that. To him, every person inconvenienced by the travel ban was a legal permanent resident just trying to get home, so therefore if I replied to a post about the non-citizens affected by the travel ban, I must be talking about legal permanent residents. Thanks for your defense.
