Its funny to think how long SNL has been commenting on our society. I found two separate clips that I'm unsure would be allowed on TV today. The first is a parody of a commercial starring Gilda Radner, the second being the infamous job interview between Chevy Chase and Richard Prior. I absolutely love these clips, but I wonder if they would be able to be this controversial today. If you haven't seen this clips, I absolutely suggest that you check them out! This is SNL at its finest.

omg that richard prior chevy chase skit is hilarious but no way would that be on TV now. i mean that is boaderline crossing the line but sometimes comedy can do that and get away with it
ReplyDeleteI think comedy gets closest to the line and that's where we need to be. Life is uncomfortable, but it needs to be explored.
