SNL has been hit or miss during the Trump years. Mostly miss, with an occasional flash of accidental comedy. When it was announced Bill Burr would host SNL for the first time, my expectations were slightly elevated since Burr isn't known for ever disappointing. Having a pile of f*** you money can do that. Burr exceeded expectations, and as you'll see from his monologue and from the ensuing outrage, what would easily assume he may not get invited back.

Somehow, white women swung their Gucci booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line. "My life is so hard. My SUV and my heated seats. You have no idea what it's like to be me."

I mean, he's not wrong (see SINGLE MOTHER IN PORTLAND WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW SLEEP-DEPRIVED SHE IS FROM ALL THAT PROTESTING and WHITE LEFTIST GETS BTFO'D LECTURING BLACK COP ON RACISM). It of course didn't stop people from getting all rackle rackle rackle about it on Twitter. You know, the place where everyone with serious opinions goes to express themselves.

Yes. In this cultural moment, SNL thought the best choice for host of what at least used to be a comedy show was a comedian. In other words ...

He mocked the news and recent societal malarkey. Skipping the Trump stuff because it's SNL and they would have course have that covered throughout the rest of the show. He also mocked the pandemic and people refusing to wear masks, which may include some of your reading this right now. It was still funny, as jokes are supposed to be. I also wouldn't be surprised if he leaned into the left more because that's what you're told you can't do. Especially on SNL and especially in New York City, where some feel comedians being political activists is more important than comedians crafting jokes or being in any way comedic.

Bill Burr is one of the best. He also has made it clear he doesn't giveAF. The two usually go hand in hand.
