This bit has some of the best lines in SNL history I Love It so much John Mulaney probably wrote the whole thing, knowing his comedic style

[@chrystag1]

“Liesl! I know you’re freaked out but this is Austria nineteen thirty bad!” I like how that’s supposed to justify the fact that he’s a pedophile 😂

[@TheScottEF]

Oh, Jesus, the sketch is supposed to be scandalous, but a couple where both parties are either at or above the age of consent is not pedophilia. You are taking a serious issue--think a rapist priest with a 12-year-old altar boy--and dousing it with your own definition. Tolerance is not uniquely about embracing the easy and comfortable situations. Plus your quickness to label in a comedic skit is a bit pathetic.

[@Suz1]

The terms are interesting, actually! The term for grown adults who are only attracted to older teens (generally age 15-19) is "ephebophilia". For younger teens (people who are pubescent, but barely) it's "hebephilia". "Pedophilia" has the same root as "pediatric" and specifically refers to sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

[@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395]

SteveBowen Literally the punchline of this whole sketch is how creepy the older guy is for perving on a naive young girl and using dark humor on the subject which relates to real life issues of sexual exploitation of teens and even children. Their comment is totally appropriate to the video, even if the term they used isn’t 100% accurate to the situation. He’s still a pervert preying on an innocent girl, and that’s wrong, that’s not something that we as a society need to “tolerate” lmao.

The age difference wasn't the thing that freaked me out, as a kid... It was the Nazi thing...

[@canaisyoung3601]

Well, with the whole #MeToo thing and heightened concerns over age of consent, SNL (and by that, I mean "John Mulaney") chose to mock that. Besides, they save their Nazi stuff for Trump.

[@vanyadolly]

There wasn't an age difference in the movie so it was pretty much just the Nazi thing.

[@avaesthetics]

Yes!I thought that the sound of music was a happy and cheery movie but then I watched it and the Nazi invasions scared the shit outta me

[@FritzMonorail]

@@canaisyoung3601 Cool your jets. There wasn't even an actual age gap in the movie. They were just making a joke about how it would be weird if there was. and they made plenty of jokes about the Nazi part too.

[@Tmanaz480]

That was the original concept. It got watered down a little, but they originally wanted an equal amount of drama and musical in the film.

[@mh.4816]

Before this, I was watching the "On the Bench" skit he did, and I started cracking up at 1:22 of this video when she goes "There's rumors that maybe you're a Nazi maybe!" and then he immediately goes to sit on the bench. 😂
