There's no fucking punchline, they're literally just recapping the premise of the show through a modern-era country song with hip-hop influences (the worst legacy of Old Town Road) and occasionally saying something about South Korea not being America. I hate it

    People just need to feel the comfortable and familiar. SNL had been garbage for years, and then Trump finished it off. Now it's just a security blanket.

    I'm so old I remember when SNL was edgy. Norm Macdonald got fired for making too many OJ Simpson jokes. I loved watching that guy, because you never knew what he was going to do. Live TV, don't forget.

      Live TV, don’t forget.

      Wasn't that the whole appeal?

      "It's live TV! Anything can happen!"

      Now they've filled the cast with the boringest, safest, most smooth brained comedians Central Casting can round up. The most LiveTV aspect of the show is people missing their queues and forgetting their lines.
