Honestly whoever designed this knew what they were doing, and were either thrilled or horrified when their boss approved the design.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

How did that design get approved?

[@Markwjansen]

@@ChienaAvtzonfor the memes, they knew damn well there was a good chance of something so horrific going viral.

[@OberynTheRedViper]

Why would it even be an issue? It looks nothing like genitalia, unless you think literally any hole is a dead ringer for a vag. Like, OMG, did you know shirts have like, at least 3 vags in them? Like, using a straw is like, cunnilingus. Don't even get me started about garden hoses hurr durr.

Everyone had the same idea when they saw the bucket

[@OberynTheRedViper]

How are you employed? There are child labor laws that prevcent literal 5 year olds from working. Becuase you have to be literally 5 to think this looks anything like genitalia. I mean, you must freak out when you see straws and putting on a shirt should give you a 'gasm since it has holes too, tee hee. Stupides,t most forced meme in ages.

A Sarlacc Pit sketch would either be too vulgar or too expensive for network TV. So, unless SNL moves to cable or streaming and/or gets a bigger budget, this will have to do.

You're not wrong. Especially since the Sarlac is loosely based on the sandworms from Dune anyway. Actually, a lot of Star Wars is directly inspired by Dune.
