Maybe it's just me but I don't see the funny in what they think is funny...
This week’s “Saturday Night Live” cold open imagined a telethon to
raise money for Russia at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
The “Ukrainian Invasion Celebration Spectacular,” hosted by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson (Alex Moffat) and Laura Ingraham (Kate McKinnon), aimed to collect donations for Russian oligarchs in danger of not being able to afford their “sugar babies” in the face of US economic sanctions over the Ukraine invasion. “Who will pour vodka in their mouths?,” McKinnon’s Ingraham asked.
Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, was working the phones, but his sales pitch devolved into a rant about Rihanna’s body, aquatic whales that supported his presidency, and “Bel-Air,” the new reboot of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Bowen Yang portrayed a kimono-wearing Steven Segal who performed a lackluster taekwondo routine to honor his “pal,” Vladimir Putin.
Donald Trump Jr. (Mikey Day) and Kimberly Guilfoyle (Cecily Strong) then took the stage to perform a pro-war version of the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper song “Shallow.” “Is there a bathroom with a mirrored counter nearby?,” a visibly coked-up Day inquired.
Not only is this shit terribly dated, it's just genuinely not funny. Okay - maybe there's five people in LA that mighta laughed at this cornball bullshit, but c'mon, children. You could do so much better than this.
OR, maybe you just can't...

Wharton School of Business has calculated that inflation last year
cost the average household $5,000. This number will continue
to rise as inflation continues to rise.
Another survey stated that 57% of American households
have less than $1,000 in their savings account.

Now that Russian cats are banned from international competitions,
does the world feel safer? It's fairly doubtful.
The International Cat Federation issued a statement announcing its shock and horror "that the army of the Russian Federation invaded the Republic of Ukraine and started a war."
Prompted by the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine, FIFe took action. It will not permit "cats bred in Russia to be imported and registered in any FIFe pedigree book outside Russia, regardless of which organization issued its pedigree." Also, cats with Russian exhibitors will not be allowed to register for shows organized outside of Russia.

People worldwide are showing their support for Ukrainian citizens by booking Airbnbs in the war-stricken country without the intention of staying in them.
The trend began as a social media movement Wednesday. Within days, thousands of people from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries had booked reservations at Ukrainian homes through Airbnb, the Wall Street Journal reports. Airbnb said it is temporarily waiving fees for guests and hosts on bookings in Ukraine.
“On March 2 and March 3, there were more than 61,000 nights booked in Ukraine around the world, including more than 34,000 nights booked by US guests,” Airbnb said in a news release. The 61,000 bookings are bringing $1.9 million to Ukrainian hosts, Airbnb Chief Executive Brain Chesky said in a tweet.

Close race between "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" for the funniest movie - but "Blazing Saddles" takes the win because it could NEVER be made in today's Cancel Culture .
ReplyDeleteAs it is , if it's shown at all , it comes with a warning about how your poor little feelings might get hurt by all the "hate speech" it contains .
Nope, I'll never change your mind on that because it IS the funniest movie ever made. Young Frankenstein is a close second and I think the ORIGINAL "The Producers" is a closer #3. Mel Brooks had a run in the early 70's where he could do no wrong. I understand that Mel wanted John Wayne for the part of Taggert, played by Slim Pickens. Would have been a totally different movie.
ReplyDeleteThe Ukrainians should have shut off the lights too.
ReplyDeleteThe Quiet Man is going to be showing on the big screens on Sunday the 13th and on the 17th (Saint Patrick's Day itself! ) I've only ever seen it on a TV screen before. I have to see it in a theater.
