There are almost too many piquant lines in this less than two-minute pharmaceutical commercial sketch to choose from, among them: Youll feel like youre giving a speech at a college campus in 2008 or getting bin Laden, all over again! and Warning: Paxil is not covered by Obamacare. We promised that it would be, but its not. And for that, we apologize.
Ouch. Of course, they had to include to obligatory last-minute shot at Republicans tacked on at the end, but the cameo by Bill Clinton with his oh-so-unhelpful comments from last week really takes the cake:

Now if only SNL has given him the mocking he so richly deserved in 2008.
Lorne Michaels was asked about that about two years ago and he said that they really couldn't get a handle on what to do about him. I guess it all is so overwhelming now.
Yeah, they couldn’t just ridicule Obama. They had to stick Republicans and the Tea Party there at the end, just to cover their a$$es. I’ll bet the whole thing was produced and ready to go and some whiney liberal staff sh!thead insisted on the ending.
The clip isn’t funny. It portrays him more as the victim than the perpetrator.
Hmmm... I had no problem with that part. Our 'republicans' are part of the problem, and they need to have some Tea Party member banging on their desk, demanding they do their job.
Neither is Obama.
Cause of death listed as an "allergic reaction".
Michael Hastings could not be reached for comment.
I don’t find any humor in Obastardcare. Millions of people are scared sh*tless about what to do.
“I dont find any humor in Obastardcare. Millions of people are scared sh*tless about what to do.”
Exactly. Imagine being a family of 4, young kids, combined income of $80,000, private health plan dropped, and the only alternative is one of those “better” plans found on an exchange that raises your deductible and premiums to a point you can’t afford it, with your previous providers no longer available to you. January 1 is approaching fast.
I didnt/wouldn’t see it, I am certain bit was written at least in collaboration w Kingie’s PR staff. SNL Was forced by threat of embarassment in the overwhelming ridiculousness of Obama to do this skit.
I Am sure these worshipping sycophants were
Most apologetic and humble about it
This skit is AWay too late for any good it might do to anyone outside of the pop culture do anything we want to do/take from the government faction of our otherwise wonderful country
Romney could have elaborated on this 47% but dropped it, but they’re there’re, running things, and are SNL audience. This was softball, too late
Lame
Funny stuff...
What’s “SNL”? Does that stand for SEEN NO LONGER?
Then again, SNL hasn’t been funny since Dennis Miller left.
SNL lost its edge after the first couple of seasons. It hasn’t been at all funny since the 1980’s.
