Lil' Rent - SNL

[@economicist2011]

"I don't like that. Take him off the split-screen." Finally a correspondent willing to put an anchor in their place.

[@matthintz9468]

My favorite part.

[@cosmicdarkmatter1128]

yeah, it would be great but, the Topic is the play "Rent" for children...really undermines the reporter's point...

[@unfuzzy]

@@cosmicdarkmatter1128 - how is the reporter's point (and what IS her point? that thesbians aren't supposed to be thought of as lesbians?) undermined by the topic?

[@cosmicdarkmatter1128]

@@unfuzzy Her "point" was really that she didn't like the anchorman's comment... But, if you think about it, the play "Rent" is not really child-friendly at all. It's got a lot of LGBTQ stuff in it; to change any of that, you would end up with almost a different play altogether... That's why even though she'd be right for saying that to the anchor, there's no way small kids should be doing a play called "RENT"... In that play the thespians are indeed often playing lesbians...lol

[@a.a9021]

@@cosmicdarkmatter1128 True, Rent isn't really a child-friendly musical, and I think that was part of the joke of this sketch. But I don't think she disliked the anchor's comment because LGBTQ words aren't child-friendly, I think she disliked his comment because he was being perverted.

[@toridunlap1692]

I have a degree in theatre and let me tell you - this is painfully accurate. This is actually what Rent Junior did - they converted AIDS to diabetes. They’ve done similar things with Avenue Q and Les Mis. It’s hysterical.

[@Rebecca-ez3nl]

Tori Dunlap they didn’t actually do this in the rent school edition. This sketch was based off one school that turned HIV/AIDS into diabetes. But even in the school version it’s supposed to be about aids

[@roguecactus7]

But that’s the only way to reach a younger demographic?

[@narfle]

No, you dumbass, kids understand the concept of getting sick.

[@roguecactus7]

It’s not enough. We need cheeks in seats. How many conversations about the thea-tur, or lil rent, have you overheard, lately?

"She only speaks Spanish and I only speak WHITE!" Damn.

[@sheridan891]

Hilarious..... such clever writing these days at SNL. I wonder if Amy wrote that all by herself.

[@jmsmith1767]

sheridan891 nope she had zero hand in the writing. It was brought up in interviews of the writers of the sketch. IMO she almost ruined the sketch. The character doesn’t fit AT ALL in the sketch. 100% show horned into a really really funny sketch. Much stronger sketches have been written for her, characters are not her strong suit. Like on “Inside Amy Schumer” the funny sketch’s on that show we’re when Amy played the “straight man” and she shined in those sketches.

[@itsmeyaboi4386]

Jason Smith disagree I thought her impression here was rlly good and I found it pretty funny, and I wouldn’t call myself a fan of amy schumer

[@itsmeyaboi4386]

sheridan891 jeez not every piece of comedy has to be “clever” or “deep”- in fact a lot of comedy isn’t, I’m willing to bet you only have a problem with that line because it was performed by Amy. She’s definitely not the funniest comedian out there but she has her moments, no need to mindlessly hop on a hate bandwagon for the sake of it

[@ThaBlkRainbow]

"She's a dancer, not stripper." "She takes her clothes off" 😂😂
