calls Jesus a 'nepo baby' in Easter sketch

On the third day, Donald Trump crashed Jesus’ dinner party – at least according to the “Saturday Night Live” version of Easter.

The long-running NBC comedy series poked fun at former President Trump’s recent indictment during an Easter-themed opening sketch, starring Mikey Day as Jesus Christ. Jesus gathered his loyal disciples for an important conversation during The Last Supper.

“One of you will betray me,” Day as Jesus told his disciples. “And though I have committed no crime, I will be arrested, tried and found guilty,” to which Judas (Molly Kearney) replied with an incredulous “What?”

But Jesus was overshadowed by an unexpected dinner guest.

“Sound familiar? A famous, wonderful man arrested for no reason at all,” Trump (James Austin Johnson) interjected. “As we speak, I am being persecuted on a level the likes of which the world has never seen, even worse than the late, great Jesus.”

Another lame sketch barely critical of Trump. They actually make Trump look good by pretending he is not a maniacal traitor and danger to our nation.

Great cold opening. I'm in the middle of watching it now on DVR.
 
I would just like to say that SNL never pulled any punches on any president.

The difference is, Biden, Obama, George Bush II, and all the way back to Clinton- all thought it was all in fun, and even invited their SNL impersonators, as well as other famous Comedian impersonators, to their White House events for entertainment and as special guests. Biden, Bush, Obama, and Clinton were never afraid of laughing at themselves- even poking jokes about themselves in their major national speeches.

Now Trump is a completely different animal, when it comes to poking fun. He only dishes it out- but can't accept it when it is dished out to him.

It was the middle of Donald Trump’s presidency, and he was—yet again—mad at Saturday Night Live. And he wanted the federal government to help him settle the score.

In March 2019, the then-president of the United States had just watched an episode of the long-running, NBC sketch comedy series (it wasn’t even a new episode, it was a rerun), and grew immediately incensed that the show was gently mocking him.

“It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of ‘the other side,’” Trump tweeted, long before he was banned from Twitter for inspiring a violent mob. “Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows. Should Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into this?”

It was, on its face, a ridiculous question and threat, as SNL is obviously satire, and therefore a form of protected speech in America that pissed-off commanders-in-chief have no authority to directly subvert. However, then-President Trump went further than simply tweeting his displeasure with the late-night comedians and SNL writers’ room. The internal discussions that followed, between the former leader of the free world and some of his political and legal advisers, once again underscored just how much Trump wanted to use the full weight and power of the U.S. government to punish his personal enemies.

According to two people familiar with the matter, Trump asked advisers and lawyers in early 2019 about what the Federal Communications Commission, the court system, and—most confusingly to some Trump lieutenants—the Department of Justice could do to probe or mitigate SNL, Jimmy Kimmel, and other late-night comedy mischief-makers.

To those who heard it, Trump’s inquiries into what federal regulations could be used to bust the likes of Kimmel and SNL were more nuisance than constitutional crisis. “It was more annoying than alarming, to be honest with you,” one of these sources recalled. However, the conversations further showed, in the pettiest of ways, how the 45th U.S. president was keen on turning the country’s top law enforcers into something more akin to his own personally retained law firm.

Emails released by the House Oversight Committee, first reported by The New York Times, also show how Trump tried to enlist the Justice Department in his attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory with demands to investigate a number of wild conspiracy theories.

But to wrap all this up- DONNIE- YOU GET MORE WITH SUGAR- THAN SALT!

I see your SNL Trump sketch and raise you Zeus On Mount Olympus. Care to take a guess who did that?

No, you don't. The left has lots of comedy shows. They have a long history of political humor going back to Mark Twain and Wilkl Rigers. Their standups are joking about politics over and over. The Right has never been successful in a comedy show, except for Tim Allen, but that is slightly political. It is a sitcom.
The Daly Show has been on for over 2 decades. The right based in hate and prejudice has a tough task making it funny.

Proof you are dishonest as shown by your furious backpedaling. First you claim righties have no sense of humor then you backpedal and say they don't have as many comedy shows on the Magic Lightbox.

If you were honest...and sane, you'd notice that most humor on television is center-left. Colbert makes fun of the Democrats and Biden almost as much as he does the Republicans and Trump. Will Rogers himself famously said, "I don't belong to an organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

Wrong again. There is one show that has been on for a long time. It was not political humor but had some instances in it. Saying there was one, shows honesty not back peddling. Yes, leftys kid Dems and Repubs. Rightys cannot do that. The Daly show has nailed the Dems when they fuck up. Fox is not permitted to say bad things about Daffy Donald, the rightys or guns.

Rational, intelligent and educated people know that just screaming "You're WRONG!" isn't enough to persuade other rational, intelligent and educated people.

Fuck Fox News. I hope they are burned to the ground for their lies in the lawsuits.
 
Absolute best line:

'Jesus rose from the dead after three days..... we would have done it faster'.

They duplicated the clothes and appearances of Da Vinci's Last Supper very well. It was a well-thought-out and humorous bit. But rightys are devoid of humor.

Not devoid buy the further right they are, the more their humor is about attacking or demeaning others.

FWIW, I tend to find self-deprecating humor funnier. It can be national, cultural or individual. Alt-Righties never use self-deprecating humor. Their humor is always at someone else's expense.

Humor varies by culture. The US is large enough to have a wide variety of cultures but most nations, being smaller, can have unique forms of humor. A comedian on a world tour will quickly find out what works in some countries doesn't work in others even if the local language is spoken fluently.

Culture Shocks: Humour across cultures
That day I learned an important lesson about humour across cultures. So much of what we find funny is socially ingrained. Our sense of humour is deeply rooted in our nationhood, our shared view of the world, and the norms that are so familiar to us, but so foreign to others. But there are deeper levels of humour – comedic elements that cross boundaries and tap into something universally human. Knowing the difference can be the key to capturing the comedic imagination of your audience, no matter where they are from.

Mark Twain. the first stand up comedian.

Twain, we can imagine, would be...oh, what’s the word? Appalled, perhaps? But hardly surprised. Twain held a poisonous disdain for Congress in particular and politics in general.

As politicians praise him, it’s worth remembering what Twain had to say about them:

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

“Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can.”

“An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere.”

“There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”

“All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity.”
