SNL 50th Anniversary show Sunday 2.16.25

You didn’t find a reference to a man ejaculating in another man’s ass to be dirtier than the other jokes on the show? Well, ok then.

Previously in the same sketch:

There will be a dude entering your chamber of secrets
He’ll be slipping right into your Ass-kaban
There will be warts on your hog from all the hufflepuffin
Sirius Black is going to wave his wand in your mouth and say “expecto fellatio”
You will be professing your love of nuts
You will be gaining 9 inches
They’ll give you muscle relaxers
You’ll be handling so many dudes at once
[In prison] I’m having sex 50-60 times a day
You’re not gonna be an elf named Buddy - you’re gona get elfed in your butt
Forget about your north pole, you’re gonna worry about your south pole

So, after 10-11 or so references to prison rape, the line you take issue with did not impress me as terribly “dirtier.”

Meanwhile - about that sketch - why was Will Farrell chewing and spitting? How did that make it funnier?

I wonder if you have to be of that generation targeted by the “Scared Straight” shows to get the humor of that sketch. It was must-see TV for High Schoolers round about 1980. We all laughed off the lifers talking about how tough prison life was until they got around to the sexual violence.

All right, man. I didn’t take issue with it. I just thought that line of Eddie’s was less about being a double entendre than the rest of the sketch, and was more directly sexual. You go ahead and think what you want and we’ll all just move on.

OK, so the list of hosts who killed(not necessarily murdered) people is:

OJ Simpson
Robert Blake ← we sure on this one? I forget
Matthew Broderick
Alec Baldwin

Any else?

Does killing democracy in America count?

This is the one where I thought the line was decidedly crossed, even more so than the “… Santos will be comin’ in your brown” line later on. I couldn’t recall ever having heard the word “fellatio” on network television before and most especially not in Prime Time. However, the Scared Straight skit aired about 10-15 minutes after Prime Time ended … I guess that made a difference.

He was successfully sued for wrongful death.

Looking at that audience of powerful entertainment folks, I’d wager there a couple dozen killers in the crowd. They’re just smarter (or have better handlers) than OJ or Blake.

Alas, no. I will say this for Trump…I don’t think he’s directly killed a person. Like, actually did the killing. So, at least he has that going for him.

I think David Carradine killed a guy.

Elon also was a host and his actions are going to lead to the deaths of a lot of people. So, you can add both Trump and Musk as former hosts that will have a lot of deaths on their hands.

Paul Simon announced today he’s going on a four-month concert tour. He’ll be in my city. I won’t be going. I’d rather remember how he used to be.

Finaly got around to watching it.

Who knew Adam Sandler was that good of a guitar player??

Christopher Lee, possibly.

Led!!

Also (for wherever else it happens): rein, not reign!

Try rereading!

Snoop Dogg.

Also if you include accidental deaths, people like Matthew Broderick.

Oops.

I had lunch today with an old friend who’s going through a rough patch health-wise. He was really down in the dumps until he asked, “Did you see the Saturday Night Live Anniversary show?” and started laughing about Meryl Streep’s alien abduction.

Feeling down? Go ahead, watch it again!

Elon also was a host and his actions are going to led to the deaths of a lot of people.

Yeah, that’s better
