"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV." Such true words for modern times.
No TV in our house, no cable. It's called "programming" for a reason.
Ohhh you simple Hammond you. Wait till you hear about Covid ;)
Down from 2020, I must say: you guys from 2018 were not traumatized enough.
Handmaids tail was soooo triggering for me. I felt traumatized watching it
@@daisybluegroff I agree. Also, Holly wood is used to make wands. And channels- which channel is programming who now a days.
"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV"
Susanna H reason to save brooklyn 99
"If you're not wearing nails, you're not doing drag."
More like if you don’t want to hang yourself you’re not watching amy shumer’s comedy
Susanna H : I killed my TV in 1989 after the "Live" in Live Music Awards was cancelled. (I did watch the Obama campaign speeches - on the community college campus TV.) ✨
That line made me😀
Funny and devastating at the same time
How the hell do u find this funny
My God! I have friends that just don't keep up with politics because it's too traumatizing.
OLYA POPLAVSKY IS THAT YOU???? HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IN RUSSIA GIRL???
we finally got this Internet thing down here!
tripp for real, what the hell even is this?
“Jon controls me and I don’t pay rent”😂
This sounds like a stab at the former NY attorney general...In fact, the entire skid suggests domestic violence and abuse.
You are a bit of a shithead on these videos.
Lol this man got top comment on every SNL skit this week
Could stop just posting a quote from the video on every video? Who are you anyway? Some sort of terrible football mobile game?
No
I love the fact that they slipped in “80 year old author” because were still doing the same shit decades later
@Szilárd Maku lmaoo... um no.
@@babyvia6712 lmaoo... um *yes.*
@@Pumpkin0_0 who told you that? a white heterosexual man who wants to feel the world is against him?
@@babyvia6712 Ignorance at its best...
@@Pumpkin0_0 oh so you have nothing good to say? okay lmao
Welp. This was 4 years ago, and here we are today. It’s like they knew.
It's their fault for entertaining that s***. The last few hundreds are even thousand year of history is not enough for them. You could make an up confirmed with matriarchies. Instead these women want poop apocalyptic female slavery. Help yourself help this all. Stay celibate well in the United States and help everyone to denounce citizenship or find residency abroad
Republican politicians have been moving in this direction for years. All they had to do was follow the trajectory
@@calebk9111 what I little bitch... all that's happened is the people in each state get to have abortion laws that reflect how the people in that state feel about the subject... that's exactly how the constitution says issues like are abortion are to be decided by the states legislators!
@@calebk9111 Oh ffs. Dems and Republicans. Jesus...just read Handmaids Tale by Atwood. She was the one who had it all figured out. Not these actresses or anyone else on SNL.
@@calebk9111 prob shouldn't have voted to disarm yourselves
Always an excellent idea when you claim you're being oppressed
I’ve never seen a single episode of "The Handmaids Tale", but this still made me laugh lol
It's a very serious show and book that is about rape and killing those who don't follow the laws they have in place
A comedic look at a show that captures what has actually happened in theocratic societies. People die today, all around the world, for daring to think differently than those in power. The best part of Handmaids Tale is that it illustrates what happens when religious leaders start forcing their interpretation of religious texts onto others.
I read the book in High School.
You should it's amazing
The book isn't really that funny....
This skit hits differently now...
Something that aged well unfortunately
Yup.
Haha no baby killing for you 😂
@@alexandersmith6972 ha ha ha, I can afford a flight to California, or other states that will allow it, or Europe. I can also afford the flight, abortion, and stay to any family or friend that might need one. Lots of baby killing for me, or I can be someone’s patron! Since I’m an atheist, I love to kill babies and drink their blood. You know what, today, I can pledge $100 to planned parenthood to a few different states that allows abortion in your name. You can be a patron for abortion like me! Ta da for now! 🧑🍼💥😭
Boost
I don't know if I should laugh or be sad
definitely both xx
BOTH
A bit of both, really.
@@Lucky_Chase Or you can recognize that you're brainwashed into thanking the pro casual sex President is somehow a tradcon.
@@wariswrong4920 He's not. He's just willing to push forward their judicial agenda. ( I'm a non-partisan moderate, btw)
Gilead has begun in Alabama.
Babe, Gilead began in Alabama before 1776. Shit ain't changed for them.
BulletBill110 so I’m guessing you don’t know much about basic reproductive biology. And also having babies surpasses just giving birth. And too be honest for women who are forced to give birth, and can’t afford raising a child, I would say drop the babies on door step of all those senators who signed the stupid bill......stuff like this makes us Christians look bad
@@bulletbill1104 Well, it's the man's baby, too. With DNA testing what it is, we have the means to give the GUY a life sentence for irresponsible sex, too. I suggest castration.
Chill out, lady. Don’t worry about Alabama, because you need a coup to start the handmaid’s tale. And you know about the men in Alabama, they just don’t have the balls to make a coup😂 After all, they still need to try to oppress women to feel empowered, like those three years old who bullies girls in the kindergarten.
@@bulletbill1104 it's in fact an embryo, then a fetus. It becomes a baby after birth. I happen to be 20 weeks pregnant, happily so!
This aged so…brutally well
how?
@@cloudambient No more abortions
You're not paranoid and or unhinged enough. Work on that.
@@somebody2988 that's not true at all lol. They put it up to th states to decide. That's all.
@@darrellwilliams1714 That's partially true.
This hits harder now.
And here we are, well on our way to this no longer being parody.
“You know, with the ways things are going.” I was dead.
Really? So how are things going? How does anything mentioned there happen in the States, dumbass?
@@capybaraponque611 oh, shut up.
@@kennedylehane6562 How about you shut up and stop pretending to imaginarily oppressed?
@@capybaraponque611 not a man telling women how to feel.💀the fact that incels like you exist is enough reason that they’re oppressed.
@@capybaraponque611 Most of the Handmaid's tale was based on true aspects of US history. Like women not owning money, not allowed to work, etc. We can always go back to that if we let it.
It’s Rent controlled
John controls me and I don’t pay rent😂😂
You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll think, On My God, this could do be me and my friends. You know, with the way things are going.😂😂😂
That was so aptly put. When I heard that, I took pause for a second to let that resonate. This whole skit is an eye opener.
White Liberals didn't get to live out their rebelious fantasy under the real Hitler, so they made Trump out to be their very own Hitler. Of course none of the things they hyped up ever happened. I thought Trump was gonna start a "muslim camp", send gays to gulag and take away everyone's rights? Whatever happened to all that? Instead you got 4 years of rioting and looting from Antifa and BLM. LOL. The irony is lost on these overgrown children.
@@common_sense_supreme Shut up!!
Sadly true, especially given the recent SCOTUS decision and what they are eyeing to do next
Welcome to Gilead, USA !!
I’m seconds in and literally cracking up. It’s HILARIOUS Bc this is actually how women have survived throughout world history! We’ve been chattel, told to be grateful for getting forcefully wed and raped all our lives, considered property, not allowed to vote or go to school, etc etc etc.....
But always got together and were able to laugh and giggle and gossip and talk about “frivolous, silly, feminine” things.
Then of course that’s seen as weak or stupid, but it’s actually unbelievably strong to be able to do that in the face of dehumanizing adversity.
My rant aside, this is hilarious.
Exactly! Hey whay do u think about this 2 yrs later with Trump threatening 2 overturn democracy and make himself dictator os america? Looks like this life might not be that far fetched anymore. He could impose martial law and refuse 2 leave the white house and go along with all his evangelical buddies and make some new gov based on Christian white extremism. It would be like the holocaust but towards Latin immigrants and Muslims and handmaids tale mashed 2gether
A million percent. You said it.
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 And here I was thinking that I was the only one getting Handmaid Tale's vibes from the previous administration's antics!!
@@courtneyleanne6405 oh no we were getting them too! Its very scary to live in a red state now. These people are slowly descending into madness. I hope they get over it soon.
@@Daphattack OMG! I live in a red state as well. I've begun to feel more ashamed of this fact because of the backward thinking but I completely understand your fear. It must be so difficult being of Hispanic decent and living in this country. I admire your people!!
in 2022 this is basically reality
No
“This could be you and your friends with the way things are going” oof too real
Gotta say skits with Cecily and Kate have extra quality in them :)!
Yep. Just like Kristen Wiig they're both quite versatile actresses, as this recent, but quite unusual, satirical skit showed: czcams.com/video/2CKGA9w-B6A/video.html
Cecily has grown a lot as a cast member.
GIVE ME A FULL SEASON
Kiana was not here Yes! Or maybe make it a reoccurring theme with some female hosts?
watching in 2020 is somethin else
Even more appropriate in 2022 than in 2018!
“Under his...”
“Don’t”
Genius
Heh… anyone watching this after roe v wade being overturned? Because now it’s a little more scary than when I watched it 4 years ago…
💯 spot on! It’s becoming fukking reality!!
i’m on season 2 and yeah it’s more terrifying
"Oh my God, this so could be me and my firends,
you know, the way things are going" - lol, I remember feeling that way in 2018! Ugh. Still do...
This aged so truthfully it's almost an oracle reading 😥
Damn. This is happening now. “Blessed be the fruit.” 😉
May the Lord open.
May the lord open a 7 11 and Under his eye wid my foot...
real_abiola May the Lord Open.
Where is this happening? I literally have no idea where, in the western world, is fucking happening? Girls are scoring higher in tests, then boys. They are leaving school with higher marks, and are going on to higher education more then boys. Women are getting married less and later in life, they are having less or no children, while not being part of long term relationships. So again I ask you, where exactly is this happening? Because I've yet to see groups of Australian women locked up and forced to birth children for rich people. It might be happening in your country, but its not in mine.
@@pippiecarr9378 Its happening on TV.. Therefore its happening..... Never underestimate the power of the idiot box.
This is the greatest parody of all time. I had no desire to watch A Handmaid's Tale until I saw this and now I am actually hooked on that series. 🤪🍋🤪
Loved the part where Amy realizes she looks good in red mid tasing.
Yea! I had to replay that part a few times, it made me laugh so hard.
Of-Fred said something similar to Ms. Waterford in the show. She mentions that red is her color to piss Ms. Waterford off.
That last facial expression she made before it ended had me laughing.
As a huge fan of the Handmaid's Tale, and used to watch Sex and the city (but didn't like it much), this skit was really clever. The one on the left sounded exactly like Samantha.
**traumatized laughing remembering all the shit that went down**
This clipped aged very well for 2022.
I'm laughing at the extras staring at the wall the whole time not moving an inch lmao
Oh they moved. At least 5 centimeters.
All their acting and I loved Cecily's voiceover
Anyone here from the timeline when Uncle Clarence and Co. undid 50 years of civil rights?
This aged like fine milk
2016: lmao at this rate we’ll be in the handmaid’s tale by the next election!
2019: judging from certain bills getting passed in other states things are actually starting to look like the beginning of the handmaid’s tale
sierra johnson : Starting to? I'd say you're at least a year behind, if not two. 😆😢😭
ErykaSoleil omg you really are dense
smadge100 “Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.”
@smadge100 you know what's ridiculous? You're attitude. You're free to disagree with that comment but there's no need for insults. It just makes you look salty
@smadge100 no! no! no! As I stated you're free to disagree. Insults have nothing to do with truth. It's just to put someone down. Don't ignorantly interpret my comment to fit your distorted narrative
Welp, here's commenting in June 2019... This sketch started a s a bleak bitter satire, made its way to sinisterly accurate prophecy, and will end up as documentary.
esmeralda loschuetz sad but seems like it’s becoming more and more true...idk what is happening to our country but it can definitely stop any day now...
Paranoid much
esmeralda loschuetz yeah I couldn’t watch the show when it came out cause it scared me because it could actually happen. Now here we are 😒😒
Ummm no
Omg .....do you live in Sadia Arabia?
This aged way too well.
It's almost like they knew...
"It could so be me and my friends" 💀
They did. The handwriting was already on the wall back when Atwood wrote the thing in 1985, and by 2018 it was clear what was going to happen if Trump kept getting away with stealing SCOTUS seats.
“This so could be me and my friends, with the way things are going “
Ha ha ha I’m scared
“More uplifting than the news.” 😂😂😂
What? Eat your rations and cry into your straw bed?
Joke's on you; I'm a millennial, I don't even need a man to do that!
Theanonymous Girl jokes on you for being so typically sensitive 😂 you can’t fake that kind of annoyingness. Hahaha
@@ajallen9674 over here laughing on my air mattress after my dinner of a tortilla with hummus.
Clearly you don’t understand how a handmaid’s life is in the show
"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV"
Yep, pretty much.
Well, this aged like fine wine.
This is a show that's really gonna make a living for Hulu
Renato Costa not really u can watch the show free on Internet lol

2022 painfully accurate
Her face when she's being tased 🤣🤣
This should be a full series
I think they have fully exhausted the idea in this sketch, no? I think it's really funny but where would it go from here?
It is. It’s called the News.
my two fav shows- i feel blessed
Watching this the day after Roe is overturned and I’m just saddened, frightened, enraged.
Me and my friends after Amy Coney Barret was elected like 👁👄👁
A woman with strong willpower and an astonishing career reaching the top of her profession. Doesn't sound like a leap backwards.
There are times when I feel like I should watch A Handmaiden's Tale, but then I remember the premise and it makes me too angry to see it through.
brainflash1 it's unrelentingly bleak.
@Rrrrrose & brainflash1: Sad, dark, yeah, but hopeful. Keep watching. Although I'm SO NOT the target demo, it has (Idunno how) become my favorite show on TV since "Strike Back" went on-hiatus. Season 2 Episode 5 - "Seeds" is the best episode yet! Was doin' OK 'til the Hebrew elegy - then completely 'snot-on-my-sleeves' lost-it. Better after June's comeback. The women AND men will revolt. Folks can only take but so much.
Yeah, you may find that generally in life, if you don't appreciate the premise of something, you are not going to like the content. It's not rocket science, is it?
brainflash1 Judging a book by its cover
Pressuring women to give birth so infertile Christian couples can wrest infants away from the birth mothers? Yeah, that's already routine. First, deny real sex ed. Then, because it's hard to get white babies , keep making it harder to get abortions. Then they make it hard to get public assistance so you have to give up the precious white baby.
No one cares about the black babies. Not those that make the dumb rules.
"Oh my God, this so could be me and my friends. You know, with the way things are going."
The only part that made this skit funny. This kind of an existence is a ultra conservatives wet dream.
And its also an ultra leftist dream....as well as all the other creeps out there.
floof markie the left how? We don’t believe in fairytales
@@bertha3590 lol yea you do gender is fluid islam is a feminist peaceful religion there's nazis everywhere sounds like a shitty leftist fairytale
@@bertha3590 - plus you believed the fairy tale about Trump being a Russian spy and you were 100% sure that Mueller was on your side for 2 years while you said Q supporters like me were the real conspiracy theorists when we said Mueller was flipped to serve the Trump movement or else he'd be indicted along with the rest of the criminals who tried to overthrow a duly elected President.
Bertha- Did you just say leftists don’t believe in fairytales?? 😂😂🤣
The World Clarence Thomas Wants! 🙄
I’m happy interracial marriage won’t be illegal I take comfort in that.
It’s the, “Under his…” “Ugh, don’t!” (Points to gouged out eyeball) hahahaha for me.
The handmaid skit is so good hope they made more of it
This is just so well written (and performed).
Fyi, Margaret Atwood is a Canadian multi prestigious award-winning author.
Sounds like Provo Utah on any given day. 😂
"Under his eyyyyeeeeee..." 😂
How did that guy keep a straight face the whole time coz i sure could'nt😂😂😂
It begins.....
“I’m John control rent .... He controls me and i don’t pay rent ! “🤣😂🤣😂
This is brilliant as hell
That deserves an Emmy.
Had to watch this after the SC leaked draft ruling. One great big step closer to this becoming real life!
"This could be me the way things are going" 😂 but also 😭😞
when an ad comes on before the actual video i always think it’s a skit and try to find what’s funny about it before i realize
This is funny because of how dark it is
"As i was getting tazed..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"More uplifting than the news" 😂
I was laughing and crying at the end
I never saw any of these SNL shows, and I watch every Saturday night!
I like how you can kinda tell who they're parodying like Cecily is Samantha and Kate is Miranda and the other one is Carrie but Aidy really isn't doing a Charlotte parody she's just kinda there. It's a great sketch tho!
I didn’t laugh once, this show is just too heavy.
I love Cecily’s voiceovers lol
Wow... I got this recommendation after a acb sworn into scotus...
This is brilliant!
“Commander,” not “commanding officer”
Gilead is about to begin in Louisiana. it’s scary
watching this in 2022 hits different
They did the wrong eye 😂😂😂
Mimicking getting hanged was hilarious and such a piss take at the same time 😂
This is horrible for me to say but I would watch this 😂 😂 😂 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Laughed till I cried.
I've seen scenes from the real show and it's way too scary for me to see.
@@lalayastill610 season 3 has been cool. Not as great as season 2, but acceptable

Made me actually laugh out loud. U go
