Even during the “glory years” with the Not Ready For Prime Time Players, I believed that Saturday Night Live just wasn’t that funny. Oh sure, there were always random moments of savage comedic brilliance, but most of the time I felt as though I needed a few shots and a bong hit for the jokes to work.
I thought shows like SCTV, In Living Color, the Upright Citizens Brigade, The Kids in The Hall, and MADtv were much funnier. Shorter, too.
After seeing Bush and his lying sock puppet of a general in the news the other day, I remembered this classic comedy sketch from MADTV that satirizes both Steve Jobs and the War in Iraq. It’s intelligent, well-crafted, ruthless in its’ logic, and doesn’t overstay its’ welcome. Only the humorless disciples of the Cult of Mac wouldn’t find this textbook example of a perfect comedy routine funny, and even then I’ll bet a treacherous chuckle will sneak out when St. Jobs isn’t looking.
You'll laugh bitterly even as the tears run down your face.
