Oh boy! If they are trying to salvage ancient, infested and miserably unfunny properties, The Simpsons should be next.

The Simpsons have been unfunny and irrelevant a lot longer than SNL.

This isn't a pivot away. Its throwing a bone to give their defense a point that they aren't hilariously biased and ultra woke. It exists so that it exists and can be cited as proof they "shoot both sides when they deserve it."

Its how these Leftie shows always do it. Once things start to get a little shakey, they give themselves this little shield to act like they are somewhat bipartisan and throw normies off that they are equally as guilty as the ships that get sunk.

True. I don't expect them to become Mad TV anytime soon.

I still remember watching MadTV on Comedy Central years later when they had the rights and aired it like all day, and the sheer amount of random bleeps (usually just a pure Mute button) was notable even at the time.

The one I specifically remember, and still use, is "my stupid [homo] brain." Because its such a dumb phrase that it becomes funnier because of how stupid it is.

Those rats have no real convictions- they know pendulum is finally swinging back and now they pretend to mock whatever they were preaching few weeks ago

They know woke is out and over and are desperate to do anything to keep their ratings.

They're literally jesters, clowns for hire.

It's all about money. If they think they can increase their viewership by just 10% then that's 10% more they can charge advertisers.

"It's just business."

The only popular thing they have is weekend update and its just two writers making each other say the most unpc things they can think of
