    So the Irish are into incest and have deformed children, the latest rubbish from SNL towards Ireland, which is suppose to be funny...

    Also, why was there nobody in that video struggling to pronounce Saoirse Ronan's name. That's the real comedy.

    That was hard to watch. 3 accents, all worse than the one before.The host sounded Italian at times and the gags need gagging😛

    You know it's an American spoof because it doesn't mention Tayto!

    Saturday Night Live, an American TV institution that never translated overseas, mostly because it's dreadfully, nay puzzlingly unfunny.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    After 9/11 some comedy was suspended for a while. Too soon. I think SNL took a week off. When they came back they had a tribute to the NY firefighters to start. The mayor Ruddi Guilliani was there.

    He made a speech. Then the normal cast came back and said something like.

    “mr mayor. Permission to be funny?”

    He said

    “Why start now?”

    Which is actually (as well as being true) their best ever joke.

    Typical American comedy where everything has to be spelt out in huge letters for them to find it funny whilst the rest of the world thinks it's all too obvious and a bit meh.

    Mega. It's not remotely offensive, I think Irish people above all else love a good laugh based on stereotypes, but it's just painfully, awkwardly unfunny and the sort of baseline I would've found funny when I was 10.

    American comedy can be pretty good. Just not this.

    awful accents, its like americans pretending to be english people doing irish accents

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
