“This skit was outright sacrilege. They know if they did this to Muslims they’d have to be put into the witness protection program,” the singer-actor said. Pat Boone is calling out NBC and Saturday Night Live for allegedly being anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, cowardly, “diabolical” and even demonic for a skit over the weekend that parodied God’s Not Dead 2, the actor-singer’s latest movie.
In God’s Not Dead 2, Melissa Joan Hart plays a public school teacher who is persecuted for answering a student’s question about Jesus. In the SNL skit, a trailer for a movie called God is a Boob Man features a woman being forced by a Jewish ACLU lawyer to declare that “God is gay.”
“God has a sense of humor. Why else would he invent the porcupine and the giraffe?” Boone told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday. “Something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side. They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionable young people not to see it because it's ridiculous. Then they throw in that the lawyer is Jewish to make the Christian look even worse, but it’s just anti-Semitic.”
Boone said he used to watch SNL religiously, and in the early years he was asked to host the show.

Ditto, but then again, I don’t own a TV.
Without a doubt yes.
Well that makes it easier, I don't watch much network stuff at all, too much promotion of queers and other perverts, anti gun and anti Christian, nor do I watch network news. Mostly I watch old programs and what I select from Netflix.
I was thinking about this earlier today (as I read about SNL’s parady about the movie yesterday) and it really shows how basically small Hollywood is nowadays. They can make these snide remarks about conservatives, Christians, Republicans, the NRA, or other similar sorts of people. However, ones like Norman Lear and Mel Brooks say that they could not write and produce the movies and television shows that they made back in the 1960s and 1970s nowadays because of the pressures of political correctness.
At least ones like Lear and Brooks took on all sorts of things and sent them up or satirized them. You can even see how episodes of “M*A*S*H” were written back in the McLean Stevenson-Wayne Rogers-Larry Linville era (particularly in the very good old days of Ugly John, Spearchucker, and Ho Jon) and know that they probably would not be able to make episodes like that nowadays because it would be shouted down as racist or sexist or whatever other offence perceived.
I’ve started just putting it on the DVR and watching it Sunday morning.
You can generally get through the whole show in about 35 minutes.
The Bass-O-Matic commercial parody was in the top five of all-time funniest things ever done on SNL. Since then, not so much.

Maybe the skit was about Allah. Any ISIS readers monitoring this thread?
Perhaps during the next presidency things will pick up and you'll be able to afford one.
You wanted one enough to fling about the fact that you don’t
have one, as if that makes you somehow superior and more worthy.
You brought it up. How much BETTER are you than folks who have television?
“I am dark, and you are light.”
“You are blind as a bat, and I have sight.
Side by side, you are my amigo,
Negro, let’s not fight!”
BTW, I was just pointing out another funny skit. Looking at it, it could look like I thought that Chase and Morris were the ones who did it, but I know it was Piscopo and Murphy. :o
I saw the full version recently, but I had to go off YouTube. I think they police the SNL skits pretty well. I’ll look for it.
But you own a computer.
Agree with you. I just about died laughing at Saturday’s cold open with MacKinnon’s Hillary and Larry David’s Bernie. The Seinfeld references, everything. Awesome.
But I saw the God is Gay skit and I thought it was stupid. I didn’t know there was a real movie they were spoofing. But it was dumb. A gay couple forcing her to bake them a cake. Dumb.
Rofl!! Sinatra and Wonder!!! Laughing at the memory!
Thanks!
