You want dark, SNL can deliver. Here's one off the top of my head: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny837E635D0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny837E635D0)

I think OG 5 seasons of SNL did this stuff best

This is good. US SNL never did anything this dark. They always make it fun dark. Like with cartoon characters.

Uh what? I don't claim that SNL does a lot of dark humor but I'd say the Most Evil Invention and Meet Your Second Wife are much darker than this

He has pretty solid comedic chops when he's not trying to be an action hero badass

It’s something I hope he tries more now that his box office numbers are dying off.

You have not watched enough SNL if you think this is dark.
Also comparing them to each other is just exhausting.

For live skits, there are a couple exceptions like Will Ferrell today show teleprompter going out (ending in canibalism) or Adam Driver's oil tycoon monologue but yeah usually snl us plays it pretty safe.

First thing my husband noticed - "Do they memorize their lines?"
No looking off camera at cue cards.
I thought it was funny. "I've got your gun" made me laugh.

Hey, so what are the perks of working for SNL UK’s marketing team?
Do they provide a decent healthcare plan?

pretty crazy given every SNL skit has been posted every sunday morning for the last 4 years
what are the perks of being a dumbass? is it that you post [to the ask listnook sub to see how autocorrect works, or how people use a dictionary?](https://old.listnook.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/14ni10v/eli5_how_does_autocorrect_work_why_do_valid/) or is it something else?
or other great questions, like [why does the week start on a sunday](https://old.listnook.com/r/AskListnook/comments/dd8vdr/serious_why_does_north_america_start_the_week_on/), or [your boomer rant on covid that got taken down](https://old.listnook.com/r/toronto/comments/fyjjbo/retail_businesses_are_their_own_worst_enemy/)

Are you implying that because someone posted a clip from a tv show on r/television it must be an ad?

Given the amount of karma the OP has.. I mean it's exactly the kind of account that a market firm would try to hire.

It is kind of weird that this one niche sketch comedy TV show is getting _so_ much attention. Why do you like SNL UK so much? Is it a big thing in America or something?

Niche comedy show — extension of a series that has been in the US for 50 years

Okay but to me it’s completely brand new. Is it like, really popular in America? Are you just happy that America is finally getting some rep on British TV? Is it like The Witcher 3 where Listnook really likes it and always recommends it?

For the same reason SNL gets so much attention.

SNL is the main comedy show on US television.
SNL UK is a spin off that is in no way shape or form the main comedy show in the UK, it's not even available on the main channels.
The reason it gets attention is because it's being marketed right now. Not because it has organic interest or cultural impact like SNL US.

This is a sub for posting pictures and asking questions about television sets. Read the rules.
I have a 98 inch projection TV myself with retina burning 30 nits of brightness.

To be fair, they do provide a decent healthcare plan. It’s called universal free healthcare.

I love perfectly curated snark comments that just fall completely flat. The extra formatting on that healthcare line, boy you thought you had a zinger lol.

Mate, I’ve seen you on every thread saying this exact thing. You’re just as pushy. Close the laptop, step outside, enjoy your Sunday.

You’ll be pleased to know we don’t need health insurance in the UK
