Transcript
- 0:00We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, is SNL actually funny
- 0:03again? Well, let's ask our American mamas Alma Mama and joining us now
- 0:19our American mama's Terry Nedeville and Kimberly Burlason. We have talked about SNL before.
- 0:24We've talked about how they weren't funny, how they just got mean watching
- 0:28it. Yeah. Yeah, but now look, just to reiterate, you
- 0:32guys grew up watching Saturday Night much as you could. Well, Mom didn't
- 0:36allow us to, usually when we were either sneaking or when we got older,
- 0:40like in college, or Dad was watching this since she wasn't there,
- 0:43so you snuck at his kids. But in college you watched. Yeah,
- 0:47you never missed a Saturday In fact, I recorded every single sid You do
- 0:52you still record it? I still do. I haven't watched it in years
- 0:55and years. When Alec Baldwin came on as Trump and was so cruel and
- 0:58I started feeling that must was in notts every single time that I watched it,
- 1:03I stopped watching it. I was like, I hate this because every
- 1:06skip was a political it was bashing our side. And that was for years,
- 1:11four years so many people, so many people had you know, stopped
- 1:15and they didn't learn their lesson. And then during the whole pandemic when they
- 1:19were allowed to have their crowd but with masks. Remember they weren't allowing anybody
- 1:23to have remember all that, and I thought, oh god, they're part
- 1:26of this twisted world that we're living in. So it was just bad.
- 1:30But just recently I steal fast forward through the political stuff because it's so annoying
- 1:37because they have so much material with Biden, they have so many ways,
- 1:42they have so many they barely touch on the surface of it, and and
- 1:47it's it's funny, it's not cruel like they were with Trump. So I
- 1:52steal fast forward through all of that. They make fun of Fox newspeople that
- 1:55the way they are, it's just like you know, in other presents said,
- 1:57well, they made fun we made fun of Obama. Yeah, you
- 2:00walked out with cool sunglasses with a saxophone for Bill Clinton, like he was
- 2:04cool. That's how you made fun of him. With Trump, you're just
- 2:07making stuff up. So but just recently they've kind of, I guess,
- 2:13because they lost a lot of their audience and they know that we're noticing they're
- 2:17not making fun of Biden the way that they should. They should be slamming
- 2:21this administration and Hunter Biden. I mean, they have so much material.
- 2:25Well, it's like they're pulling away from it. It's like they're pulling away
- 2:28from focusing on that and they're actually doing some funny skits. I haven't watched
- 2:32the show, but I'll watch clips you know that you that'll come up on
- 2:36TikTok or whatever. But there I feel like they're leaning toward their audience is
- 2:40growing. They've actually done in the last couple of weeks multiple segments making fun
- 2:46of the transgender ideology. Now I don't know if they know that's what they're
- 2:50making fun of. Ye they do, but they did ann of a skit
- 2:54with nuns and they're like, oh, well, apparently I've learned that there's
- 2:58somewhere there's someone who's actually a male in this nunnery. And they go through
- 3:01and there's a guy standing there with the beard. He's like, oh my
- 3:05gosh, I can't believe that there's a guy in the nunnery. And they
- 3:07go through that, they talk about the transgender in sports. Yes, that
- 3:13Jason Mamul who's like a billions feet tall, right, and he's playing tennis
- 3:16against a woman and he kills her. He literally kills her in the skit
- 3:22and he's not even trying to. He's just so much more powerful and it's
- 3:24got so much more strength. That is a direct hit hit against men in
- 3:30women's sports. Well, like, they're finally noticing that we have these men
- 3:34who are mediocre in their sport and they're not happy, so they're moving over
- 3:39to the women's lane and they're killing everybody. So I'm like, I love
- 3:44that they're making fun of this so much because we've been talking about it for
- 3:46years. This is insane. This is insane. It was you that said
- 3:50that you felt like it was comedians that were going to bring us back.
- 3:53I did you know? So this is touching on that because they're comedians.
- 3:55They're making fun of it, but comedians were going to be the re that
- 4:00we get back to normal. Yeah. Well, there's some old school SNL
- 4:03alumni that have actually really been on the forefront of fighting against cancel culture,
- 4:09fighting against leftist ideology. Rob Schneider's wonderful, you know, even just he
- 4:15wasn't intending to do this, I don't think, but Dana Carvey in the
- 4:17way that he would make fun of both Bidenen and Trump without being mean towards
- 4:21either one of them. See, they get it. This is what I
- 4:25think comedians get it, because in order to be that hysterically funny, you
- 4:30have to be smart, you have to be aware, you have to be
- 4:32observant, you have to be able to take something that's a misnomer or anything
- 4:38and make it hilarious so that everybody, like right now, Matt Rife is
- 4:42getting slammed for he's just did this Netflix special. Yeah, and he's getting
- 4:46slammed for a chauvinistic thing or a misogynistic things that the kid, Yeah,
- 4:50he's a good looking kid that's thrown and I like him, and he stepped
- 4:56over a line. But that's what comedians do. And it wouldn't even it
- 4:59was funny. I mean it was like it was one of those borderline funny
- 5:01things. But you know what, to get mad at Matt Raife for seeing
- 5:04a chauvinistic thing, it is like getting mad at, I don't know,
- 5:10for Rodney Dangerfield for being self deprecating. Yeah, that's that's what he does.
- 5:16But he's sending people to so if people he said for those of you
- 5:20that are offended by my jokes, you know, here, send your complaints
- 5:25to this link and you go to the link and it's for helmets. That's
- 5:30hilarious. Yeah, yeah, I do believe. And I don't know the
- 5:36political affiliation of Adam, Saidler. Chris Rock. I can kind of figure
- 5:41where Chris lean's, but that whole group, I mean, this is a
- 5:44Saturday Saturday Night Live crew that was the funniest. You know, they had
- 5:46Chris Farley Adam, Saidler. I think Kristin Wigg came in on that.
- 5:50David Spain, Yeah, they got it, and I think they are the
- 5:54ones who are helping to kind of bring us back to real humor. If
