The Biggest SNL Controversies In The Show’s History
Saturday Night Live has never been afraid to tell controversial jokes about pop culture, politics, or really anything; however, there have been times throughout the show’s nearly 50 seasons when some of those sketches or punchlines landed flat.

Anytime Norm Macdonald did weekend update Man, I wish I would have been there when fear played. That is one of the most legendary punk shows ever. Not to mention New York's all right if you like saxophone

I'm offended that so many people are so easily offended.

Weird history is a solid choice to listen to before work in the morning.

The reality show about a house full of drug addicts fighting over drugs.

i think you all shied away form the most controversial skits. Most of these are lightweight on comparison.

SNL is anything but controversial now. Its safe and tame, watered down comedy that is tailored to not offend anybody or push any limits at all. Its easily digestible slop for the masses that is making absolutely no mark on anyone or anything.

A lot of these (IMO) are mid to nothing. It is comedy (apparently, never been a SNL fan) not all jokes work, and sometimes it is the wrong audience.
BUT that Chelsea Clinton one is wrong… not quite as bad as a countdown to when a celebrity will be legal, but still bad and not right at the time, let alone now.

I like the narrator and I think it's the same guy just relaxed his voice.

The nude beach skit was controversial, but Dick in a Box wasn't? 😂😂 P.S. Dan Crenshaw has a prosthetic eye…the patch is for attention.

The worst thing about the movie "Taxi" is that the original French movie and its sequel were amazing and genuinely hilarious.

0:07 – NORM!!!
Rest of the video: HEEEEY, no Norm? 😌

Okay that last one should not have been taken so seriously by people. It's quite clear he was playing a character who was completely ignorant and was meant to say something so stupid

I like the movie "Taxi". F- the critics.

Another "History". I'm looking forward to the next "Weird History".

Now they try to avoid all backlash by making sure nobody is watching. It’s seriously very difficult to sit through an entire episode these days.

How come you didn’t include Cypress Hill for smoking a joint on stage. They were banned for life.

Darrell Hammond did blackface numerous times to play Jesse Jackson
@promontorium
October 15, 2024 at 3:02 am
Dressing up as a black person isn't "blackface" and it's bullshit to suggest otherwise. The racist history of blackface is that it was done in a cartoonish way to mock black people.

Making fun of veterans or ppl with disabilities is disrespectful. The rest wearing a maga hat good for Kanye West or some of the others to much, too petty.
