The liberal political commentary show that identifies as a late night comedy sketch show, Saturday Night Live (SNL), has once again proven they can strangle the funny out of anything.
The show’s most recent comedy casualty was their Weekend Update segment, where the SNL crew hoisted non-binary cast member, Molly Kearney, in from the ceiling so she could foist trans activist jargon on the audience.

SNL could barely muster any effort to even create a pretense that the bit was about humor. Their weak attempt consisted of dropping Kearney in with cables and a couple of crotch jokes.
Ooh, a person dropping in on a harness! That’s some real creative genius right there, SNL.
You’ve noticed comedy stopped being funny and is just preachy, right? https://t.co/79WEysFr07

Look, you can drop a preacher onto stage with a cable, but if he still preaches a sermon, you’re at church.
That’s exactly what viewers of SNL were subjected to: a judgy, self-righteous sermon.
Comedian is a strong word for that woman.

So true. She made a few attempts at facial contortions and goofy voices, ala Chris Farley, but it just didn’t work because it was clear the real goal was to lambaste Republicans for opposing trans activists targeting children.

Leave our children alone

Do what you want, adults. Leave our kids out of it.
‘What’s happening kids is wrong and you don’t need to be scared. Our job is to protect you and your job is to focus on being a kid. It’s kind of like me flying in the SNL sky … There’s a bunch of dudes asking you about your crotch and where you’re allowed to pee. But if you just hang on, you’ll look up and realize you’re flying kid.’
Well isn’t that rich? There is one group of people in the country focused on kid crotches. They’re the ones going out of their way to try to make kids question their basic biology so they, adults, can feel better about their choices. You’re darn right it’s our job to protect kids – from people like you.
These aren’t comedians, they are activists.

Bingo, and guess what? Activists aren’t funny. Okay, they’re sort of funny when they’re screeching while being arrested for breaking the law.

Many tweeters took issue with the claim that Molly Kearney was SNL’s first non-binary cast member.
Pat was back in the days when SNL could still do comedy. The narrow box of topics they’re allowed to make fun of now would never permit such a skit.
Scared comedians are among the most pitiful of creatures.
Chemically castrating kids is not health care and this is not comedy – it’s a woke Ad for mental illness. Chris Farley is rolling in he/his grave.

What he said.
SNL has become a weekly reminder that the left can’t meme.

LOL, right?!

It almost hurts to see Farley and remember what SNL used to be.
Like the rest of the cast, her pronouns are Not/Funny https://t.co/reyXh4xLPe

Nailed/it.

LOL. This dude was funnier than the entire segment using just 9 words on Twitter.
This is objectively worse than Jan 6th https://t.co/U42uCybKhK

LOLOLOL!
So much of “comedy” these days is less an effort to make you laugh and more a series left wing church youth group skits. Chris Farley did this schtick better anyway https://t.co/bDQbMUGyQs

SNL used to have courage. They’d touch the third rail. You want to do something objectively funny, SNL? Have some guts. Do a skit of a lib mother trying to talk her very unwilling son into cutting his junk off so she’ll fit in with the other lib mommies in her book club.
We dare you.
