Is this a new one, or is it the same video you've posted previously? If new, does SNL also make fun of the other lunatic cults, such as chri$tianinanity or judai$m? Or do they stick to safe and easy targets, as usual?It's the same one Strangeler. I figure if you put out the same message umpteen times over, least I can present something for people who come to the board that actually pertains to the documentary.
Seems last thing you can do is call foul on that. share

Oh, I see.Absolutely I would. And as it is they do already. share
So, would you like to see SNL skewer the other cults, such as (but not limited to) chri$tianinanity, judai$m, etc? Do you think they ever will? Not just east targets such as Westboro bapti$t$ or catholic$, or the stereotypical "jew" foibles.

No, they don't. They never have and probably never will.Just look at Christianity, SNL has made fun of both the Pope and Jesus himself. And obviously the Church Lady was the personification of all fundamentalists to mock. Think the Christian God has come into play as something to make fun of as well.
Guess I just don't get how you say they "never have." Or maybe I should ask what you would like to see them do that they haven't? And I assume you know SNL isn't a Public Service Message. You need characters in a skit and laughs.
So you have two-to-three minutes. What could SNL do that would satisfy you as to going after Christianity? share

Again.
So you have two-to-three minutes. What could SNL do that would satisfy you as to going after Christianity?Already pointed out some of what they have done (and are the Pope and Jesus "fringe elements"?). share

No one ever mocks je$u$Have seen him put up as a buffoon more than once, just like the Pope. And yeah they've never done anything exactly like these three minutes, but at the same time they sure do spend a lot more time making fun of Christians. share

Some chri$tian$. Only some,Only so many people can be featured in one skit.
They've mocked Jesus and made him look like an idiot. There were even protests about it.
What other Christian figure would you rather see them go after. OR maybe I should say what more important Christian figure could they go after?
And if your answer is the Pope.....they've gone after him even more times. He was a regular at one point. share

Disengenuousness. SNL didn't depict every single member of the $cientology cult, so why should they have to mock each chri$tianinanity cultist individually to make the point that cult is as horrific as any other?Question was who else would like them to mock given they have already hit the top two?
But lets go back to the one I asked you before: "So you have two-to-three minutes. What could SNL do that would satisfy you as to going after Christianity?"
Strangler is Lorne Michaels for a day (or at least a skit). What would you do? share
[deleted]
Michaels could flash up a title that says, "Hey, you know your beloved cults of chri$tianinity and judai$m? They're at least as stupid and destructive as the likes of the nutjob $cientology cult. At least as bad."But it's comedy and not a public service message.
If flashed educational disclaimers is what you are looking for........well you get the idea. share

Last I checked, Matt and Trey weren't PBS.But seems you think SNL should be PBS. We are talking comedy here, even if for sure both SNL and South Park try to get a certain message out. So do Colbert, Stewart and whoever took over for him.
Again -- you are Lorne Michaels and run SNL.....what do you do? share
[deleted]
Seen the South Park $cientology episode? Remember the big banner, "This is what $cientology cultists actually believe"? Why not go after the chri$tianinanity cult the same wayPart of the answer for why the banner is that everyone watching Southpark more or less knows what Christians do believe. share
The_Strangeler would make the show entirely about bashing every religion, except Scientology.
After The_Strangeler forces SNL to constantly be against "cults" and "cultists," all of the commercials would promote Scientology, and CoS wouldn't have to pay for them.
This is The_Strangeler's idea of fairness, which would be remarkably similar to David Miscavige's ideal version of Saturday Night Live.
The_Strangeler is a Scientology Stooge.
Zero personality.
Zero credibility
Zero character.

I don't know if you remember SNL's Father Guido Sarducci character from the 1970s, but that character alone mocked Christianity on a weekly basis.
Only someone woefully ignorant of SNL would complain about their lack of satire against Christianity.
Do they allow SNL on Gold Base? If so, do Sea Org members ever have time to watch it between games of musical chairs?
Do they allow SNL on Gold Base?Not even sure about that. Given that they don't let at least some people even make unmonitored phone calls, my guess is not though. share
