It’s awful to watch SNL right now is with all the performative COVID safety like the plexiglass dividers and masks on audience members when the audience members signed waivers saying they wouldn’t sue if they got sick and Bill Burr is saying “kill your weak cousin with asthma.”
Jesus he’s doing a bit about how people tried to “cancel” John Wayne. It sounds like only 1/3 of the audience is laughing, if even.
He’s doing a bit about “White Women” and how they are to blame for centuries of “Toxic White Men” and sometimes have sex with “Black Men” and then say it’s “non-consensual.” No one is laughing. Imagine booking this shit on SNL in 2020.
“The month of June is gay pride month, don’t you think that’s a little long for a people who were never enslaved?” -Bill Burr to a literally silent SNL audience who signed a waiver saying they wouldn’t sue if they got COVID.
Just an unbelievable thing to see given everything that’s happened this year — this week even! Like, even on set! The musical guest got kicked off for going to a party without a mask on. This week!
