[CatWoman]

[Johnny2X2X]

1. No holds bar

Love it.

[UTUSN]

2. Gosh, I thought they were going to be muzzled!1 But doing the "equal' hard thing on Joe.

[consider_this]

3. NOT liking the Joe take.

this hurts.

[txwhitedove]

7. Agreed.

[Johnny2X2X]

8. Nah, it's good

It’s Ok to make fun of Joe too sometimes.

[consider_this]

10. but the mocks are not of how he acted, at least not what I saw.

[CatWoman]

11. I'm laughing my ass off here

[Me.]

16. Me Either

a cartoon that isn't him.

[consider_this]

17. Exactly, and what really irked me is

they played up the RW 'point's of him being senile or forgetful, which I did not see happen in that forum.

[Me.]

30. I Am Always Disappointed In The Show

THey laugh at each other's skit in the writer's room and so they think their skits are actually funny.

[frazzled]

20. Me either

Playing into the senile-fool trope that the Republicans are pushing.
The only good thing about the Carey impersonation is the makeup and the intonation. The shtick is neither funny nor good satire. Satire is supposed to contain a grain of truth.

And the Trump portrayal was also a fail. Way too restrained. I mean that guy was talking like a speed freak in the real debate. Here, they had him uttering one word interjections occasionally.

Meh

[spooky3]

4. Who's playing Joe--is it Jim Carrey? Nt

[consider_this]

5. yes

[JudyM]

6. This is great!

Trump’s meditation tape

[CatWoman]

12. LOL!!!!

Joe just paused his ass

[JudyM]

14. What a concept!

[JudyM]

13. Joe used the remote to mute trump -- if only that were possible.

[consider_this]

21. That part was genius! dug that!

[mucifer]

9. I wonder if the cast isolated for a few weeks. They are next to each other no masks

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Ending was brilliant!

This was great!

[oswaldactedalone]

18. Really good

“Joe’s” entrance was great!!

[PatSeg]

39. Wasn't that great?

That was so Joe!

[MFGsunny]

22. Totally cool AND timely on SOOOOOO MANY levels! n/t

[Staph]

23. I'm ready for the WAP!

"Woman as President", as stated by Kamala Harris (played by Maya Rudolph).

She came out during the debate skit, told them to behave themselves, reminded them that there would be PB&J and apple slices after the debate, and for Chris Wallace to report to her after (oooohhhhh!).

It was the best part!

[OneBlueSky]

24. Sorry . . . the original was satire-proof . . . (n/t)

[consider_this]

26. you got that right!

[C_U_L8R]

25. Bask in the Trumplessness.

Indeed!

[PatSeg]

40. Yes, we have a new word, "Trumplessness"!

The writing on that fake debate was brilliant.

[C_U_L8R]

44. Imagine Trumplessness.

I want the tshirt. The hat. And the bumper sticker.

Could be a great fundraiser for an enterprising campaign.

[PatSeg]

46. Oh yes

and lots of yard signs. I rewatched the segment again on my computer. It was even better the second time. One of the best SNL sketches I've ever seen or maybe it was just the perfect show at the right time, expressing what so many people are feeling.

[UTUSN]

27. OMZ Chris ROCK: (prez) "in hospital with COVID, my heart goes out to COVID!1"

[oswaldactedalone]

32. Loved it

Chris Rock wants you to vote!

[UTUSN]

33. Chris wants SHITLER *out*, government improved, I already vote! Loved it!

[Trumpocalypse]

28. Don't know who Jim Carey is doing

but it’s not Joe Biden. They should have kept Jason Sudeikis. He did a great Biden.

[PatSeg]

41. It is meant to be a caricature of Joe

and it really was over-the-top in many ways, but I always found Sudeikis's Biden much too mellow and rather dopey. Carrey's version has more life, though I could have done without the senile inferences.

[Trumpocalypse]

42. I know it's meant to be a caricature

but it doesn’t seem in any way like Biden. More of a generic cranky old man.

[PatSeg]

43. I think everyone sees things differently

When Baldwin was being obnoxious, Carrey did the Biden smile much like Joe did during the debate. I also liked when he would almost lose his temper and then dial it back. The 007 entrance was priceless, I have a picture of Joe doing that back in 2008.

The Science-Karma bit and the pausing Trump were brilliant - "Trumplessness".

[TexasTowelie]

29. I have to wait for the clip to be posted.

At least I'll have a reason to stay awake for awhile.

[CatWoman]

35. ....

[TexasTowelie]

37. Thank you.

[underpants]

31. Eh

[Music Man]

34. Meh, it was pretty lame.

I hardly laughed.

Jim Carrey's impression is lousy. They didn't really capture the absurdities of the original debate. Just unfunny all around.

[mentalsolstice]

36. Not enjoying it so far! Bring back Woody Harrelson as Joe, ASAP!

Jim Carrey, he seemed like he was trying too hard. I like his art and Tweets, but I was never a fan of his on TV or in the movies, except for the Truman Show.

Chris Rock, who I usually love, was all over the place. I’ll stick around for the news.

[Gothmog]

38. Just imagine if science and karma joined forces

45. Science and karma. That was smart, funny and so true.

Beautiful.
