SNL - Media In The Tank For Obama

Posted in Uncategorized by hairybeast on February 28th, 2008

Even in the sucky years, Saturday Night Live has managed to still be at its funniest when it’s making fun of presidential campaigns.  Who can forget Jerry Brown whoring for votes at the 17th Annual Star Trek Convention?

Well, despite the fact that NBC has been assiduous  in their purging of all content from youtube and others (hence no embedding), the Beast links you now to the most recent (and only) bit of comedy brilliance this season, The Press Is In The Tank For Obama:

All that’s missing is Chris Matthews and his tingling leg.

    Beast: “Even in the sucky years, Saturday Night Live has managed to still be at its funniest when it’s making fun of presidential campaigns.”

    Lets see: Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Kevin Nealon, Phil Hartman, Mike Meyers, Rob Schneider, Julia Sweeney, Tim Meadows, Adam Sandler, and David Spade.

    Please tell me you aren’t calling 1992 one of the “sucky years” because you will have to be terminated from Conclub for such blasphemy :)

    E, right after that season didn’t they fire half the cast?

    Now granted, in retrospect it was a bad choice. We don’t appreciate what we have till we’ve lost it. But actually the Beast was referring to the most recent SNL incarnation.

    Now shh - tonight’s episode of “Lost” is on, and if the Beast glances away he loses the narrative line totally.
