Why It’s Best To Ask Permission First
If you missed Saturday Night Live last night, I feel sorry for you because it was, like, awesome. Don’t worry though, you can catch all the good stuff here. The highlight of the night belonged to Andy Samberg and Jonah Hill, who brought us an educational SNL Digital Short on why it’s probably best to ask before you get involved with the other person’s parent.

I don’t think this is funny. The butt of the joke is that Jonah is fat and gay and that the father is revealed to be gay. Fat people have sex. Some people are gay. Some fat people are gay. What am I missing? Why am I not laughing?

I totally see where you’re coming from on this, but I don’t totally agree. For me, this is one of those gray area videos where it’s funny because it’s gay (and, specifically, straight seeming men who happen to be gay) — yet somehow, it’s not exactly homophobic. I feel like this is a recurring trend in humor these days (in fact, I wrote something about it over here!)

The joke, for me, is more about Jonah Hill becoming involved with someone supposedly undesirable — who also happens to be Andy’s parent.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:56 amI actually watched this SNL and actually LOL’d for the first time in forever when they showed this. I think SNL is really trying to be a lot more “edgy” and over all not crappy and I like it. It’s what they needed for a long time.
March 20th, 2008 at 4:26 pmI thought it was funny because Andy’s father is MARRIED. Since Andy is his son, he seems to have been married to this woman for a long time. Therefore, you would consider him a family man: a person who would not look at a young man and want to start dating him. That, and the age difference was awkward. haha
March 21st, 2008 at 5:19 pmCamille, could it be because you’re overly opinionated and probably trained by years of higher education to one up everything that is put in front of you through critique for the sake of critique?
March 31st, 2008 at 2:13 pmBe nice, Kyle. We’re all entitled to our own opinions about what is and isn’t funny.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:56 pmKyle, you rock. I’m gay, and I laughed so hard at this skit, so if you’re going to talk ethics SHUT UP. This is hilarious.
