Opined that this skit was nothing more than an excuse to get Syd into a Hooter’s outfit. They’re probably correct, nonetheless we must give SNL’s writers an ounce of grace here:
Relying on Sweeney’s “comedic chops” to carry these scenes makes less sense than locking a gang of machete-wielding Turks, and a gaggle of Armenians armed with cutlasses in a storage vault overnight, then expecting any of them to still be alive in the morning
Is this representative of American sketch humour? Because Jesus Christ that was painful.
Currently, yeah it is pretty representative of not just sketch humor, but much of what masquerades as “comedy” in mainstream circles here in The US. Though I must say, SNL still displays some semblance of an edge, every once in a while https://youtu.be/XX_Rxvg8vdo?si=QmqPYU2Pk-LuzB92
