[@aedge17]

Ya we got it... It just wasn’t funny....

[@DaniOverHere]

How is NOBODY getting the joke of this sketch? The cringe is intentional. This whole sketch reads as a satire of the pressures put on new SNL cast members, to bring something new to the table. Watch it again. In the entire first three minutes, Luke basically runs through every hack joke you've heard from dudes on SNL - from the 70's to the late 90's. ANY of those jokes would feel at home, coming from a young Adam Sandler or David Spade. That first three minutes of silence proves how much SNL has grown over the past few decades, and how those types of jokes are dated and irrelevant. And in Luke's FIRST sketch, with an original character, it's THE worst most hack jokes that dudes have overplayed for years. It's a mirror to the overuse of "white dude jokes" in sketch comedy. It's also a mirror to the internet reaction to Luke, and people's expectations. Just look at what Luke keeps repeating: "I just wanted to make a splash." Everyone in the comments is acting like the back half of the sketch wasn't written before they started the sketch. The entire back half of the sketch is the cast explaining how those earlier jokes are outdated, and why they aren't funny. This sketch is also SNL admitting it's own past mistakes, and how it caused these played out jokes. It's also demonstrating how adding Luke doesn't symbolize a return to those style of jokes - they're still irrelevant. I mean, if you're not convinced, look at the set! They're using the classroom set from their Gilly sketches! They haven't used this set in ages -- but there was a solid 3-5 period of SNL, where it felt like I saw this set every week. In a sketch where they're calling out their own played out jokes from the past, they're using a played out setting. This is brilliant satire. That's why it got past rehearsal. You're all nuts. If this was Tim Heidecker pulling this level of cringe on SNL, you'd all be losing your shit.

Who would have thought Keenan would be the only thing holding this show together? Every time he’s in a sketch anymore it’s just to insert some actual comedy into terrible writing. I hope he gets paid more.

Didn’t really enjoy him during his early years but he has really come into his own.

I still don't enjoy him. He's horrible, can't act, breaks all the time, but I agree he's about the most positive thing in this season so far lol

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

I must say, I think Keenan is terribly overrated. He does the exact same thing in every sketch he is in, and that weird smile of his is almost punchable. But maybe he is good for the American audience....

what? is that new kind of funny, not funny? No dude stop making excuses, they failed hard! Im a huge snl fan but that first part was cringe as hell, not a single laugh from the audience.

[@martinriggs8754]

Totally agree, he suppose to be an unfunny asshole the first two minutes who sucks at being cool. That’s the whole point of the skit. Everybody leaving comments about how the beginning sucked are missing the point.

[@harrisonboogie]

Nope, just bad writing. The more you try to rationalize dumb things, the dumber you become.

[@martinriggs8754]

Harrison Nguyen Nope, it’s suppose to be unfunny the first 2 minutes. He literally called the girl a lesbian for not going on a date with him and then makes fun of the Jewish and black guy, It’s so obvious he’s sayin politically incorrect things to purposely make the audience uncomfortable and to set up the punchline when Keenan comes in.
