Message from Jeff Bezos - SNL

>> AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM AMAZON'S CEO JEFF BEZOS. >> HI, EVERYONE. AS YOU KNOW, AMAZON JUST ANNOUNCED THE LOCATION OF ITS TWO NEW HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA. AND EVERYONE, EXCEPT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ALL OF THE PLACES WE DIDN'T CHOOSE, IS THRILLED. SOME FOLKS HAVE SPECULATED THAT I WAS SOMEHOW TROLLING PRESIDENT TRUMP BY BUILDING ONE HEADQUARTERS IN HIS HOMETOWN OF QUEENS AND THE OTHER IN HIS CURRENT RESIDENCE OF WASHINGTON, D.C., THEREBY OVERSHADOWING OR HUMILIATING HIM. BUT THAT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE. SURE, HE ATTACKED ME REPEATEDLY ON TWITTER, BUT I CHOSE OUR NEW LOCATIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE IDEAL FOR A GROWING BUSINESS, NOT JUST TO MAKE DONALD TRUMP THINK ABOUT HOW I'M LITERALLY 100 TIMES RICHER THAN HE IS. WE NEEDED ACCESS TO A YOUNG, EDUCATED WORKFORCE, WHICH IS WHY WE SET UP A SATELLITE OFFICE IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, ACROSS THE STREET FROM MAR-A-LAGO. AND DID I PURCHASE "THE WASHINGTON POST"? SURE. BUT IT WASN'T JUST TO RUN HEADLINES LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE IS IN A MELTDOWN OR LAWYERS SUING "THE APPRENTICE" FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP'S USE OF THE N-WORD. AND I ALSO LIKE THE STYLE SECTION. BUT THE REAL REASON I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU TODAY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DONALD TRUMP, WHO PUBLICLY ATTACKED OUR COMPANY FOR EXPLOITING THE POST OFFICE. I'M HERE TO ANNOUNCE A BRAND-NEW DELIVERY OPTION THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE THE POST OFFICE AT ALL, AMAZON CARAVAN. ANY PACKAGE GOING TO TRUMP'S BUILDING WILL GET DELIVERED BY HUNDREDS OF HONDURAN IMMIGRANTS AND I WILL PICK UP THE BILL. UNLESS YOU ORDER THIS BOOK, BECAUSE THAT COSTS MORE I GUESS IT'S HEAVIER. I GUESS THAT'S THE ONLY BOOK WITH FOUR CHAPTER 11S. TESTING HAS SHOWN CUSTOMERS FIND DRONES SCARY AND IMPERSONAL. THAT'S WHY I'M OUTFITTING EACH AND EVERY DRONE WITH HUMAN HAIR. THE STYLE OF THE HAIR WAS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I JUST WANTED SOMETHING THAT LOOKED SO SILLY AND EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS FAKE AND THE DROVE SHOULD JUST GIVE UP AND SHAVE HIS HEAD LIKE A REAL MAN WOULD. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO GIVE BACK TO THE NEW COMMUNITIES FOR JOINING. THAT'S WHY I'M PURCHASING A BUILDING IN QUEENS THAT USED TO BE THE CROWN JEWEL OF FRED TRUMP'S REAL ESTATE EMPIRE AND CONVERTING IT INTO PUBLIC URINALS. AND IN VIRGINIA, WE'LL BE VERY CLOSE TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY SO WE CAN PAY OUR RESPECT TO FALLEN VETERANS, EVEN WHEN IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE. THANKS TO MR. TRUMP, AMAZON'S FUTURE IS BRIGHTER THAN EVER. >> THIS HAS BEEN A SICKBURN BY JEFF BEZOS.

Mirror.

"The only book with 4 chapter 11s" god damn that was funny

(Chapter 11 is the section of the bankruptcy code that allows businesses to reorganize their debts.)

Him just walking past the picture of Toadstool was brilliant.

Poor Toad getting drug into the middle of this.

The fact that SNL is using Trump to humanize Bezos is all kinds of strange

[u/ReservoirDawgs]

A billionaire who just scammed two cities into giving billions of taxpayer dollars for corporate welfare seems like perfect fodder for SNL...why did THIS become the route they decided to go? The workplace culture at Amazon is horrendous and Amazon just fleeced the city that SNL is based in for billions of dollars and SNL took the cowards way out to turn Bezos into the good guy by turning it into another anti-Trump piece? Talk about pulling your punches and burying the true lede of the story. This is an embarrassing sketch all around.

[u/OhiobornCAraised]

This was the best skit of the night by far.

[u/SQUID_FUCKER]

This skit, while funny, is pretty much a direct rip-off of College Humor's sketches. I'm a little surprised no one has pointed this out yet.

I only watch SNL on Reddit... and I have to say that it always has me on the verge of laughter.
