Holy crap. Thanks for reminding my why I never watch Saturday Night Live. Native ad or not, that was horrendous.
One of my favorite comedy shows, that just as every other late night program, turned really sour year by year to culminate on full propaganda mode since the election. Last few episodes I could endure had a rigid, predefined structure:
Sketch with guest actor basically plugging their newest film/show/product. DRUMPF! bashing expected.
Nonsensical, unfunny sketch based on some inane premise, 'saved' by zooms to Pete Davidson or Keenann Thompson's gestures and grimaces. They used to have great absurdist/daring humor skits but they have gone downhill. Sometimes it seems like these are just included to disseminate weird activation phrases or something like that... /theremin
Musical numbers and skits with artist du jour, often with creepy, obviously intentional details about current events or news (jokes about pizza places, the creepy as hell Xmas number with a kids' chorus after the Newton shooting, and just about every LadyGaga and similar artist's ones brimming with disturbing imagery).
Every joke on the News segment, every political skit: DRUMPF!
The replacement of their often quite scathing ad parodies with these hideous, unfunny native ad sketches. Really struggling to incorporate some brand into a plot but carefully avoiding the 'jokes' to even touch the brand.
Used to wonder why about 3 years ago, some people like Craig Ferguson and, yes, even Jon Stewart called it quits. Maybe they saw what was coming and decided to not be a part of it.
