It's not funny because they don't actually point out the truth, that black people are being slaughtered on a daily basis. Not by cops, because that is a rarity, but by black criminals. Instead of pointing that out, and how the media overtly ignores is, and SNL's blatant complicity in this, they focus on being upset that a WHITE (and rich and famous...) girl is getting attention, which if you stop and think for just a second, is just as racist as ignoring the wholesale slaughter of blacks living in inner cities... They don't CARE that black people are dying and being ignored, they care that a white person is getting attention. These people are racists. They're just like the Communists back in the day, they don't care about the poor, they just hate the rich...

I think you'd have to be living under a rock to not already understand the situation this skit is parodying - that's why people laugh. Ditto people putting "Black Lives Matter" related signs up - do you really think somebody who is willfully ignorant/bigoted in this day and age is going to look at a sign and it's going to completely change their worldview? Most every decent person already knows there is an unfortunate bias in missing persons cases, just from living in the world.

I think people put in the positive comments about the actors to 1) maybe get back to the SNL team that the cast members did a good job and will hopefully stick around in the cast and 2) easy likes for the commenter. Agree, though, that sometimes the content, and not the delivery, should be the focus, although I think both can be greatly appreciated in this dark comedy sketch.

@@lyndsaybrown8471 I have my doubts that anybody from the cast/production team actually reads comments on these uploads/they would inform their decisions at all, it's far more likely just people farming likes, like most other things on the Internet.

Ego saved that show last night.

[@marynaarabei4561]

this is too real to laugh

[@blacksncommercials]

Thank you for having a conscience, because this skit only serves as a tool to desensitize us from our issues not spreading awareness or change

Patrice O’Neal said it - the value of a woman is how long they would look for her if she went missing

[@dianapevtsov]

Hahaha, and he assesses the women in the audience on that basis.

[@sublimebeauty1840]

It’s funny the way she talks but it’s sad that it is true

[@melindamichelle21]

Yo!!! I almost spit out my coffee out at that first headline. I cannot!

[@ShinningDStar]

Ego: “I’ve been missing for ten years” Collin: “That’s rough buddy”

[@DanteLegacyGaming]

“Who the hell wants to find that”🤣🤣🤣

[@ladyjay1018]

Man, Colin has the look of a man who's wife just got cut a check for $40 million from Disney

[@jerrycargill5062]

That's good because he probably makes $40K salary at SNL.

[@toxicity6629]

0:55 got me ctfu “who th wanna find that”😭

[@francescorengifo]

this is history, The awakening of so many to the tragedy of this energy as she raises our souls. We laugh in a bit of discomfort because we know it is true. That black people go unnoticed and there is a trauma to that. I love how we are growing in empathy with the gateway of this ANGEL to bring us this joke. To raise us from the dead and see the world around us as it is. So let this not be just a joke but a call to action. A call to show love to someone because they are black and that is a wonderful way to be. A resonance of being and eternal choice to bring us back into empathy and understanding. I cry, I laugh, I smile and I breathe this fresh air of hope that SNL and EGO bring us. A weight lifted as a thought resonates and we all know we can do more. The army of progression into a one love. :) Thank you EGO :)

[@ronaldshepherd1240]

That sketch was great

[@alisonmadden6471]

Ego’s brilliant

[@rachelmcdonough1506]

I kind of like how they never explained why she was missing or how she was found.

[@angel__mario]

[@thecreativemastermin]

You didn't even ask my name 😅
