There was, if you can believe it, a time when Saturday Night Live was about laughter, not applause line, along with highlighting some great music acts who actually played live. It wasn’t about being part of the In Crowd, and the times when politics was mentioned was funny and not abusive. And there was little of it, even on the episode where Rudy Guiliani came out to do the opening. It probably hasn’t been actually funny since Chris Farley was on it. John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, and Laraine Newman were the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players, which Bill Murray soon joining, along with many other funny folks down the years.
It wasn’t without controversy, nor afraid to take on controversy in a funny way. The skit with Richard Pryor doing a word association game with Chevy Chase, where the N word was dropped. Which Pryor wanted to do, and they made it funny. Garrett Morris did a bit during the news segment over the apparent controversy about the Rolling Stones song “Miss You”, which some people were mad about (even back then, people got their knickers in a twist, but had to actually call or write a letter) due to the line about some Puerto Rican girls are just dying to meet you.” Morris seemed serious, then said “where are these girls?” He caught crap for years. He also went out and sang a few times, with a beautiful operatic voice.
I could go on and on. Coneheads, land shark, 2 wild and crazy guys, Samurai delicatessen, and so much more. They’d make fun of Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton. Today? It’s about applause lines, and they only swing one way politically, and there’s way too much
SNL calls out Georgia for its new voting law during cold open
The state of Georgia got called out for its new voting law in the latest “Saturday Night Live” cold open on Saturday.
In another episode of the talk show “Oops, you did it again,” Britney Spears, played by Chloe Fineman, hosts the pariahs of the week to decide who is “not that innocent.”
At the beginning of the segment she says, “Speaking of pariahs, shout out to our sponsor Georgia. Voted best place not to vote,” as the state’s name appears across the bottom of the screen adorned by peaches.
So two pieces during the show mention Georgia (and the Oops skit went into more politics), as written by people who certainly did not read the law and are going with the myths propagated about the new law. It’s definitely not the “new Jim Crow”. When does SNL take on that the state of New York has fewer early voting days than Georgia and similar food and drink restrictions (it’s to keep partisans from interacting with people in line waiting to vote in order to stop influencing them, just like there can be no electioneering within so many feet of a polling station). Georgia allows no-excuse vote-by-mail, while New York requires an excuse.
Oh, and then there’s this
Per the instructions on the NBC website, to enter you send an email to [email protected] while the lottery is open….
Standby tickets are a gamble, but they’re also your only option if you didn’t win tickets through the lottery or know someone who works at the show….
For both the SNL ticket lottery and standby tickets, audience members must be over 16 years old and have a valid photo ID.
Isn’t that, according to Democrats, racist? They require ID. And NBC requires ID to get tickets for all their shows. Will SNL stop requiring valid identification for their tickets? Of course not. Will they note people need ID to get a COVID shot, and that Dems are pushing for COVID passports? Of course not. Do as I say, not as I do.
Once the fascist left formerly known as Democrats found they could steal an election and get away with it all bets were off. Now they just repeat any lie they want ad nauseum and it becomes truth. I am probably one of the few people who actually read the Georgia law (as painful as reading lawyer gobbledygook is to me) and every single “point” xiden and his fascist co-conspirators are saying are lies of the first order. Go read the law for yourself.
Why are demofascists so adamant about not wanting ID for voters and for not wanting a secure and non-intimidated and verifiable line of possession for mail in/absentee votes? There can be only one reason: the establishment of systemic fraud.
We cannot compromise with evil folks, and these people are just plain evil.

Teach: Waah! Waah! SNL picked on Georgia! “they only swing one way politically”
Teach missed the earlier pieces making fun of Biden on the stairs, or the Harris/Emhoff Passover Seder.
The hilarious Weekend Update co-host
and

Teach may not watch Che for obvious reasons.
and on CBS, watch the video of Dana Carvey imitating Biden. Hilarious.

Cons ALWAYS whine about being victims (it’s your new fine whine), ignoring that SNL mocked Carter, Clinton (and Hillary) and Obama.
Funny that you ignore the entire point, that SNL require ID. I’m not surprised, because there is no excuse for the hypocrisy.
Funny that you miss the point. Voting is a constitutional right, if not an obligation, watching a TV show is trivia. Why do you wish to erect obstacles to voting?
You prefer that a minority of conservative republicans be in charge. Others of us believe in democracy.
Hypocrite Elwood – Funny you have to repeat your Masters’ lies in order to attempt to argue a point. Research before commenting. Learn the truth and be Right.
Well, a cockwomble has got to cockwomble.
And Rimjob is a cockwombling cockwomble.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Teach the Victim: Isn’t that, according to Democrats, racist? They require ID. And NBC requires ID to get tickets for all their shows.
He equates voting, the cornerstone of this democratic republic, with tickets to a TV show.
Should you be forced to show an ID to voice your opinion or practice your religion?
So churches don’t need permits to have an outdoor service?
Governments can’t demand that congregations not meed at this time?
Concerts don’t need a permit?
Political rallies don’t need permits?
There are states that require ID to enter a legislative body chamber. Should governments require an id in order for citizens to seek redress?
There are states that require an id to get into a courthouse.
Glad to see that you feel that getting a weapon should not require an id or any background check.
The left hates the idea of making elections fair and making sure everyone casts a legitimate vote.
After all, all the left has is hate.
After all, all the right has is hate.
It’s our recollection that Americans entered the US Capitol on Jan 6 without showing IDs.
It’s clear that America now needs a constitutional amendment guaranteeing that the right to vote shall not be infringed. Of course, history teaches and oldCons and nuCons would oppose anything that strengthens voting rights. Too many Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims etc voting will destroy “your” America, right?
J again admits that in his mind the only ones dumb enough not to obtain an ID are Democrats….
Jil once more accuses Blacks of being too stupid to vote. Interestingly, and hardly coincidental, cons also believe Blacks are not smart enough to vote in their own best interest.
Rimjob is a cockwomble.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Smegma is so worthless that Teach won’t even give him a Participation Award.
J’s losing what mind he has left-“accuses blacks of being too stupid to voteâ€. Actually, that would be you, professor, as you’re the one saying all this only affects Democrats, I of course never mentioned blacks (there’s that pesky evidence thing you’re so good at…). But thanks for the idiotic response…
“He equates voting, the cornerstone of this democratic republic, with tickets to a TV show.
Should you be forced to show an ID to voice your opinion or practice your religion?”
Is The Elwood really that fuking stupid or is he/xi being deliberately obtuse? We all know he thinks black people are stupid so maybe he is also. Notice how he/xi throws up non sequiturs rather than answer the simple question: why are you demofascist so against voting ID’s and so accepting of ID’s for other less important things?
My answer to the fascist left when they say they don’t want some poor stupid black not to vote because they can’t get an ID is : If you can harvest votes, then you can distribute ID’s. If you’re that worried The Elwood, go around and take these poor unfortunate souls to get ID’s. Or is actually getting off your ass and helping the less fortunate not your style?
I see where the leftover mail-In phony Xiden ballots were removed from that cargo ship in a last ditch effort to free stuck vessel from Suez Canal.
Poor people are less likely to have a gov’t issued ID. Why not just tattoo an ID number on the inner forearm of every American you nazi?
Of course our democracy doesn’t depend on Americans attending TV shows does it? It does depend on voting.
Why do you want fewer poor people to vote? That’s rhetorical.
Since it’s been proven that in person voter fraud is a myth why do you keep insisting on fewer Americans voting? That’s rhetorical.
You want white people to be in charge.
“Since it’s been proven that in person voter fraud is a myth why do you keep insisting on fewer Americans voting? That’s rhetorical.”
You are saying that in person voter fraud is a myth? So there has never been a case of in person fraud? Ever? Everything you disagree with you either call a fraud or try to cover up.
“You want white people to be in charge”
White people are in charge you dumb fuk. Exactly who do you think runs this country, BLM? Do you have any realization you live in a White majority Western nation or are you under the misconception you are living in Asia or Africa? Do you know that all the technology and Freedom you enjoy as a dysfunctional, hypocritical moron is because you DO live in a White majority country? Somalia is what you want? Then move to Somalia.
Connies desire to disenfranchise millions to stop a handful of fraudulent in person votes. Why? As you admit it’s to guarantee your white privilege and expand your white, christian nationalism.
You should go back in time to Nazi Germany you racist swine.
Hypocrite Elwood lying again. And Nazis are socialists, like your masters.
Research before commenting. Learn the truth, and be Right.
“Connies desire to disenfranchise millions to stop a handful of fraudulent in person votes. Why?”
“Connies want no such thing. In a AP poll last week (remember all those polls you always post, well now it’s my turn) 72% of responders agreed with voter ID. I don’t have the exact Democrat responders but I think it was around 68% agreed. So what’s your objective in falsely accusing “connies” like they are the only ones? And even if they were why do you insist that’s because we somehow want to disenfranchise people? The last election it was we who were disenfranchised by hundreds of thousands of votes.
“As you admit it’s to guarantee your white privilege and expand your white, christian nationalism.”
Exactly how is pointing out Whites run this country does that somehow indicate I want to “guarantee” my so-called White privilege and “expand” Christian nationalism? You do admit that White people run and have always run this country since its inception, correct? And for some awful, pitiful reason you have a problem with that even though you are White yourself. You suffer from psychotic self loathing and anti White racism. Bigly! And what is your problem with Christians? You constantly and psychotically keep referring to some mythological Christian nationalism which has never existed here even when the Founders could have easily written it into founding law.
Please explain why you hate Whites.
Please explain why you hate Christians.
Please explain why you hate America.
You never seem able to explain these things. Why? What is causing you to hate your own race, country and fellow countrymen so deeply you want to change this nation built on Christian principles into some fascist state.
BTW, the only one here who would feel at home in Nazi Germany is you my little fascist useful idiot.
As seen on Instapundit-if Georgia is so bad, why aren’t they canceling the other 82 games scheduled to played there this summer? I never knew this, but is it possible liberals actually are monumental hypocrites…?
The Braves, the Falcons, and the Hawks ought to all move out!
Jeff,
Do you not understand that you are the worse of racist in that you don’t think minorities can get an id like everyone else. There is no excuses you can make up to justify your hate of the Blackman.
The Elwood doesn’t care, david7134. He wouldn’t care if every black in America dropped dead tomorrow. It wouldn’t matter to him because all he cares about is his virtue signaling and demofascist votes. And dead blacks, like everyone else, still vote.
The Elwood’s virtue signaling would be just another random god forsaken leftist trying to fit in if it were not for the fact he never lifts a finger to help those the virtue signals about. He’s the quintessential White supremacist and biggest beneficiary of White privilege of any who comment at The Pirate’s Cove. He bragged about how he and his spawn were deemed “essential workers” by the fascist establishment allowing them to continue their White privilege while millions of White working people as well as minorities were cut off from their income by a ridiculous fascist idea of locking down well people from a flu that has a 98.9% recovery rate not realizing that same government named Uber drivers, grocery stock boys and pizza delivery people “essential” at the same time. I assume his spawn deliver for Papa John’s. I’m not sure The Elwood himself is a delivery driver since he is so twisted up about voter ID perhaps he lost his license.
I do know that he’s always bitching about “the poor” who in his mind appear only to be blacks. Whites are never poor because according to woke theory they are born with Privilege. Plus it wouldn’t matter if they were poor since according to CRT which The Elwood endorses Whites are a disease and unworthy of aide or pity. But then when has a leftist ever shown pity? Observe the abundance of pity shown by leftists like Adolph or Mao.
Then on top of his anti White mountain of hate is the observation that he never actually does anything for anybody either because they are poor and in need or a minority and in need. He points his bony finger in accusation at everyone else while surrounded by other privileged Whites. It’s the status quo for fascists.
All the leftists do is point fingers and never solve problems. Look what that senile dope fake president did to the border within a week of stealing his election. We have an actual crisis there yet this senile fuk dithers with masks and CO2. He and all those like him are retards.
The only people who have time in their lives to worry about masks, lockdowns and CO2 are privileged White leftists. Notice how everyone else goes about actually creating something of value while they sit around and Karen everyone’s ear off?
So of course The Elwood’s a racist, he’s a privileged White supremacist who accuses everyone else through his own projection of personal loathing.
Why does he hate White people?
Why Does he hate Christians?
Why does he hate America?
Because all the left has is hate and he’s a leftist.
Identification is White Supremacy. Only countries with dominantly White cultures have it. Everyone else in the world goes about freely anonymous.
Commenter: The last election it was we (Republicans) who were disenfranchised by hundreds of thousands of votes.
Evidence? Republicans (a minority) are concerned that true democracy is not good for their brand (plutocracy + faux populism). But rather than change policies to attract more voters, their strategy is to make voting more difficult for their opponents.
Commenter: Please explain why you hate whites. Please explain why you hate christians. Please explain why you hate America.
Oppressors ALWAYS interpret demands for equity from the oppressed as hatred. The commenter has expressed HIS hatred of America time and again even threatening armed insurrection. He has pointed out the caucasians are the superior “race”. He uses slurs to describe non-christians. He is filled with hate.
