You obviously haven’t seen the Dave Chapelle show.
And besides, SNL doesn’t have enough black cast members to pull that off.
That would be a long sketch of nothing but women asking “which way to maternity?” and young boys on rumspringa “which may to crystal meth rehab?”.
And we all know where that stands on the funny-not funny scale.
As ZeroGyro points out, negative portrayals of blacks aren’t that rare on SNL these days. Too, the same episode had Thompson playing Al Sharpton vs. Fred Armisen as Vicente Fox with the both of them trading ethnic jabs. I don’t think that Compton Emergency Room would appear out of place at all, if only SNL had more black cast members.

I thought it was funny, meself.
And it’s miles above listening to Cheri O’Teri come up with one billion variations on “Simmer down, now!”
“Cooter Bone” - BAND NAME!
I didn’t think it was very funny, but the ‘cooter bone’ line cracked me up.
This just in! SNL sketch described as being only mildly funny on a “very base, stupid, and coarse level”! Film at 11.
Cooter bone is funny. I’ve not seen any funny SNL in the past decade–partly because I very rarely watch it. Cause and effect are all mixed up there.
When I was in NYC in January, I found the locals remarkably provincial in their attitudes toward other cultures, though, especially toward the South. It’s as if there were no world outside their city limits. While I get pissed at Southerners around here who treat Yankees with contempt, my visit to NYC made it a lot harder to sustain that anger.

I haven’t seen it, but since I’ll be spending a lot of time in an Appalachian Emergency Room starting in a few months (in a hospital run by Appalachian Regional Healthcare, no less), I guess I should.
And “cooter bone”? That’s funny because it’s true. My three favorite vaginal euphemisms that I heard from patients during medical school: cooter, coochie-jigger, vaginer-hole.
It doesn’t bug me that much when they use stereotypical Southerners in a comedic way. It does bug me when they use them in a more serious context, though, when they make no attempt to make the character anything more than the stereotype. (See Maggie’s family in Million Dollar Baby.)
What? It’s not like they’re all that way. Some stuff is pretty clever. This was funny, but not that clever.
It’s go time, Biggirl. 
We forgive you for Spike Lee, please forgive us for Noxen.
AAAAAAARGH! One of the most repulsively unfunny ideas to ever become a recurring sketch! I’d rather watch Brian Fellow’s Safari Planet!
“One of the most repulsively unfunny ideas to ever become a recurring sketch!”
I vote for the Nooni, Noony and Nuni sketch, now THAT’S repulsively unfunny.
Don’t know if they did that one last night though.
No, no … “Newney.” Nooni is my wife’s name.
It’s Ngnuu-nee, stupid silly!
Neat, which one?
I wish I’d not given up on SNL, though. I would like to see this sketch. Hmmm… I have TiVo…
I haven’t seen the sketch, so I can’t comment on it.
However, I was born and raised in West By God, and I invariably laugh my ass off at such jokes, and I’ve never met a WV native who didn’t.
And everybody knows which state “Appalachian” is referring to – how often do you hear people ask, “What’s a Kentucky/Tennessee/etc. virgin?”
I’m an engineer, and a lot of my colleagues are fond of WV jokes. I laugh sincerely, but I do enjoy publicly correcting their grammar. 
Yikes! Thanks for the rumspringa link - I live maybe 50 miles from an Amish community, but had never heard of that.
Come on now, Brian Fellow is pretty funny.
No, no he’s not. In fact, Tracy Morgan is not funny in general.
I do like “Appalachian Emergency Room”, though.
Cooter bone . . . hee hee hee . . .
