VIDEO - Saturday Night Live Makes Fun Of Greta, Glenn, Rove etc & FOX News's 2009 Election Coverage.

Saturday Night Live mocked FOX News and its pundits last night for their coverage of the 2009 elections.

They included Glenn Beck, Greta Van Sustern, Juan William, Karl Rove and more.

Personally, the lady imitating Greta bothers me. She is making her lips resemble Greta's.

The Karl Rove imitator is a bit insulting also. Infact, they all are.

Here's the link to the video

Ah, c’mon. SNL has always been sophomoric and self-absorbed. And has just about always played to the lower end of the bell curve. We should hyperventilate about this?

I’m not worried about. SNL jumped the shark a while ago. I’m just sharing the vid.

SNL is capable of being mean, stupid and sometimes evil.

I thought this was good parody of characters we all know and they played them well.

This type of humor is by nature sophomoronic ... have a beer and enjoy it.

The still can’t mock Obama. They have the most boring Obama character ever. The most unfunny characterization of someone have I have seen.

Do you think they put effort or tried harder with the Fox pundits then with the Obama skits?

C’mon. It’s SNL. They are suppose to make fun of people. Sometimes it’s funny, most times it’s not, but you can’t blame them for doing there job. Yes, they should be hitting lefties more often, especially since they are the ones in power now, absolutely. Still, let’s reserve our outrage for the truly harmful things like what was going on in the House at the same time last night — broadcast a few channels down on CSPAN.

SNL is indoctrination of the young through ridicule. The young have a fear of being ridiculed by the group and being excluded. They learn to turn away from those who are being ridiculed to save themselves. SNL is nothing more than another leftist commie tool. Anyone who thinks they are cute or impartial is part of the problem.

I don’t mind him parodying conservatives. Just waiting for SNL’s killer Obama parody,how OBammer’s Ears give him super-sensitive “shout-out” abilities. especially to the relatives of the victims of the Ft. Hood Muslim jihadist, having a stretched-faced Nancy Pelosi threatening to break the arms of the Blue Poodle Democrats, or that nutty Pot Party Bawney Fwank was at in Maine.

There was one thing extremely funny about this opening skit. Although it's definitely a laughing at SNL due to their moronic cluelessness, rather than laughing with SNL due to comedic insight, kind of funny:

The SNL writers seem to actually believe Shep Smith is pro-Republican and conservative!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

That, and a hot chick hosting, is so far the only thing this ep has going for it.

Who watches them? I certainly don’t, never did, never will, and why should anybody care about another bunch of brain-dead college age brainwashed liberals mocking what they deem are conservatives? That’s about all liberals know how to do anyway.

Maybe they've had their lives threatened ... I don't know.

Their zero sucks and last night was ok.

Get ready for church, it's Sunday morning.

To be fair, SNL has poked fun at everyone at one time or another. I will agree with those who say that SNL has lost its luster, but every once in a while there is a killer sketch or two.

My favorite from last year was the Joe Biden/John Murtha parody. So very on target.

To very varying degrees.

I don't think they'll ever better the Nancy Pelosi "Palamino" skit from two or three years ago. I notice, however, that they've not done Pelosi since, at least that I've noticed.

Thanks for the heads up

I'll take your word for it

Haven't watched that puerile show in years and have more important things to occupy my time--like watching paint dry.

IF and when they ever decide to skewer someone on the left, then let me know, until then, enjoy.........!

FNC should show good humor about it and run a fact-checking report on SNL’s depiction of them. Kind of in a mocking CNN type way.

Why do members on FR continue to watch these Rats on SNL? I tuned them out a long time ago. Almost 20 years ago from watching on a regular basis. SNL has no guts, and this is why they give a pass to the rest of the bias socialist news.

Their Glenn Beck was funny. While I dont always agree with their targets, you have to admit they are funnier than they have been in centuries. Ok, years.

Ok decided to look at it. Lame... Not funny.. Even if I was a lib that was not funny.

If SNL was not so in the tank for Obama, then they could make major fun of the Dems. That would be very easy.

Depends on what you call skewering. These are the SNL clips I've got that hit lefties: SNL Makes Fun Of Obama (week 1) SNL Makes Fun Of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. (week 2) SNL Turn Obama Into The Rock Obama When He's Angry About Health Care. (week 3) There there's their spoof of Larry King and James Carville. Not a lefty but they did a funny skit about Ahmadinejad

You’re suffering from the same willful apathy that a female reporter had when she declared “I don’t know anyone voted for Nixon” after he won. Just because you personally don’t know anyone who watches snl, much to our own chagrin, they’re out there. Worst of all, they vote, which means they matter. Never dismiss the abilities and the numbers of your opponents.

The current cast of SNL is so NOT funny. Their skits are lame and rarely humurous.

The few times they have done skits that blasted Obama or the “left”, those have been funny.

Unfortunately, when they bag Obama, it’s because he’s not left enough.

These dimwit Hollywierdos will learn soon enough just how “funny” Obama and the leftards in DC are, when they start losing work and hyperinflation hits. Oh...and it will. No one is immune to the damage Obama is doing....no one except his cronies in Washington.
