Thanks for showing up, ‘SNL’
And it goes on.
The celebrated fat suit made an appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last night, this time of the spoof variety. Not so surprisingly, “SNL” was a couple weeks behind on a trend that, incidently, Crap Filter brought to the attention of the public.
Rachel Dratch, who’s fast reaching “Christ, she’s still on the cast?” territory (ala Darrell Hammond), put on the fat suit in order to make light of the hard-hitting segments by Tyra Banks and Vanessa Minnillo.
In typical neo-“SNL” fashion, tired racial stereoyptes were in full force, albeit ironically. All the black guys Rachel ran into on the street were totally into her oversized booty. Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” came out in 1992, so that should give you a sense of “SNL“‘s comedic progression, or lack thereof.

Truthfully I haven’t watched SNL in a very long time, so I can’t comment on how bad their comedy has been recently, but perhaps the fact that we used to watch it regularly and now never watch it is the case study in itself.
What can they do to rejuvenate the show? Throw out all the writers and hire the Crap filter team! Thats what!
