Well remember when man intrudes on nature... it's nature's fault! Let's kill those sharks and bears as well whose home we intrude on! Even among human populations what complaints did we keep getting from colonial empires? That the natives were being too aggressive and protective of their land...

@Sun Flower interestingly, it's possible the ship may have been able to maneuver around, forgot the term, if they'd swung the rudder the other way in time.

@@emilyb.8219 no ice necessary for hypothermia. (water sucks heat out of you FAR faster than air at same temp - even ABOVE freezing, you die far quicker of hypothermia in water) it's the physics parallel of how to thaw meat: if you leave a frozen steak in your fridge, it won't be thawed until next day. put same steak in a bowl w/ tap water, and its thawed in 10 minutes.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Well, SNL didn't have any Chinese-American cast members up until Bowen Yang. They had Rob Schneider, who's part-Filipino, they had Fred Armisen, who's a quarter Korean (though he did think he was Japanese), and they used Akira Yoshimura, who is one of their stagehands who actually is Japanese. Bowen Yang, much like Eddie Murphy, is the first East Asian cast member to be popular.

Remember when everytime someone f*cked up in their life they had to go on Oprah to redeem their self-worth because as we all know... Oprah either forgave you and you got your career back or if she gave you that "You is lyin' b*tch" look, then your life was over. Almost every week Hollywood managers, fast food bosses, zoo keepers and disgruntled hair dressers would beg for Oprah's approval. It was a hot mess.

One of the reasons I love this skit so much is that the premise was so absurd and likely would have failed if they had used someone else. This was MADE for Bowen and he knocked it out of the damn park. SNL has its fair share of conceptually random absurdity sketches that, 85% of the time, end in a lot of scratched heads and "ehhh..."s. But god, when those types of skits are executed and acted flawlessly like this -- when the cast member(s) just go all-in, balls-to-the-wall, batshit crazy committed to the bit -- they are PERFECTION. That 15% of the time that they do work is nothing short of magical and this was the cream of the crop, I'm so glad I got to witness this iconic moment of SNL history

I have been to the Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri. I had my boarding pass and in the end I was never found! That's why I love this!

[@gmunden1]

It is true. The ship was built poorly. There were issues with the thin walls of the ship and issues with the boiler room. To make matters worse, the number of lifeboats were removed to make the ship asethetics more appealing; and then the ship was cruising at a faster speed than it should have. The ship was a disaster waiting to happen. Iceberg...Not Guilty! LOL

[@cattanic494]

@@gmunden1 I wouldn’t say it was poorly built, it was built with the best materials at the time (which to todays standards are very poor) and lifeboats were removed due to maritime regulations at the time. And she wasn’t going that fast it was a normal speed.
