You know you're too much of a nerd when you can't get into a sketch primarily because the uniforms are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Clearly the costume designer ran out of one option and swapped in other shirts from storage...

C'mon folks! Consistency.

Sigh

I guess I'll go add some comments to the memory beta page on this. ...

[u/andyazel]

Wow I expected to hate it after seeing all the bitter comments here but I actually liked it. Yes the uniforms are all over the place but this is a five minute snl skit. It has almost nothing to do with Star Trek and everything to do with how dramatic and sensitive young people are. That’s it.

[u/konzacelt]

This skit was spot-on. And hilarious. And par for the course for SNL...they've been pretty obvious in their general ribbing of the (to put it nicely) eccentricities of the younger generation for awhile now.

It's not a skit about Trek, that's just the medium for the humor. They could have used any contemporary show for this.

It's a skit about the galactically hyper-sensitive and self-centered youths out there. And it's fairly accurate for some groups. Ask any high school teacher what they think of this skit and they might answer, "documentary?"

Where did we as humans go so wrong?

[u/WolverineSanders]

I really thought it was a weak sketch.

[u/Money_Bicycle_7433]

Can't watch it in my country for some reason... is she crying every 15 seconds? Would be spot on.

[u/Shatterhand1701]

Oof...sweet shit, that was painful.

People have been saying SNL stopped being funny a long time ago, but they say the same shit about The Simpsons or Family Guy and at least I still get a good chuckle or two out of those shows.

This, however...holy jumping Jeebus. If I cringed any harder watching that hate crime against comedy, I'd collapse into myself and create a singularity.

If they had competent writers and actors who still gave a shit, it could've been a funny sketch poking fun at the faults of new Trek compared to old. I love new Trek, but I'm not beyond accepting some good-natured ribbing at its expense.

This sketch, though...it was an atrocity. All they managed to do is make fools of themselves.

[u/WildDasia]

I'm just going to say it, I can't help but think the only people who didn't like this sketch are the people it's making fun of. I guess it could also be that you're lucky enough to to have not yet encountered this very real young millennial/Gen Z person, who like the sketch says, is encountering a world where everything doesn't revolve around them for the first time. Everything from, "stop gas lighting me" to "this place is toxic" to "speak my truth" is spot on.
