Until this past weekend, we would’ve struggled pretty hard to tell you when the last time was that “Saturday Night Live” was funny.

But, well, this past weekend, they were funny. At least this sketch was:

Nice going, SNL. Really.

Funny but also a little too “both sides” for me…

Whatever, man. “Both sides” is genuinely refreshing. See, liberals can be butts of jokes, too. It’s OK to laugh at liberals.

This skit takes a shot at both sides. So nobody needs to be all upset and offended. Laugh some.

I have to admit, this is the first funny skit I've seen from SNL in a while…

And yet pointed, but not at either side in particular… the kind of stuff they used to do… https://t.co/9BwjUWPStS

If SNL can put out more content like that, we might actually consider tuning in once in a while.
