Saturday Night Live Does Fox & Friends

Posted by Ellen -462.20pc on May 06, 2012 · Flag

A mock episode of Fox & Friends was the opener for Saturday Night Live last night and it was pretty darned funny. It started with a send up of the "war on Christmas," moved on to Bin Laden, the White House Correspondents Dinner and more. Plus, there was a guest visit from "Rupert Murdoch."

My favorite line: "Gretchen Carlson" saying about Murdoch, "So he taped some phone calls, so what?"

It was nice that they worked in the Murdoch scandal story—a real story the Fox Friends would never touch.

I wonder how much work and concentration it takes for people as intelligent and creative as these to portray, complete with facial expressions the utter vacuity of the real Fux Noise “newsreaders”. I’d guess several rehearsals are required to imitate wretchin, the doocebag, and the dark-haired guy who’s not the doocebag that accurately. The couch was near perfect in its portrayal.

Daddy Douchebag, Retchin and Brain are for wingnuts who don’t want their morning news cluttered up with a lot of news.

Vanessa Bayer did the impossible last nite – she out-Gretchened Gretchen. And Moynihan’s take on Kilmeade – even he comes off smarter that Kilmeade does on a regular basis. “What is black and white and lays around”?? Wait for it, wait for it…………………….

Too bad the real show would never run the list of errors at the end.

Pretty funny. But we all know that the FoxFiends are way more stupid than they were portrayed.

Usually SNL puts all their work into the impersonations and then half-ass blathers their way through the sketch, but that was pretty well written—nice.

Michael, when the Fox & Friends group themselves tend to emulate the Taliban’s philosophy*, they can’t really cry foul when others skewer their behavior.

*The only real difference between Fox & Friends and the Taliban is that the F&F women aren’t covered head to toe in a shapeless burqa. (Quite the contrary, the F&F women are specially groomed and clothed to make the network’s male viewers keep watching them—that doesn’t mean the guys are LISTENING to them.) But when you look at the Taliban’s philosophy, it matches up pretty squarely with the BS coming from F&F.

I wonder if the Real Morning Morons are going to complain about, and say the skit was a tatic the Taliban would use.
