So the "She's so nasty" bunch thinks SNL is "too mean"?

Slate - Sean Spicer Says Melissa McCarthy Needs to “Dial Back,” and SNL Is Too “Mean”

By David Canfield

Sean Spicer had a decidedly mixed reaction to Melissa McCarthy’s brash (and strikingly accurate) SNL impersonation, telling Extra’s A.J. Calloway at Sunday’s Super Bowl that while he thought she was “funny,” the comic actress could stand to “dial back” her exaggerated portrayal.

Of course, by the time Spicer weighed in, McCarthy’s performance had already gone viral to an intensely positive response. David Itzkoff wrote for the New York Times that she “stole the show,” Elahe Izadi argued that she “absolutely crushed it” for the Washington Post, and the Twitterverse lit up with high praise.

Best SNL sketch in years. Melissa McCarthy is a modern day Jackie Gleason.https://t.co/nCt65PdpFE

But really, Melissa McCarthy was so spot-on with the Sean Spicer imitation. This White House really is a disaster.

Melissa McCarthy has a 108 MPH comedy fastball.

Melissa McCarthy's Spicer was great precisely because she didn't go "funny"; she dug in, deadly serious, without comment or camp.

— Michael McKean (@MJMcKean) February 5, 2017
McCarthy’s performance primarily mocked Spicer’s aggro channeling of the Trump administration’s unending insecurities, closely mirroring that now-infamous press conference that mixed aimless griping with erroneous crowd-size measuring. As McCarthy’s SNL caricature of Spicer described Trump’s Supreme Court nomination announcement: “When [Trump] entered the room, the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation, which lasted a full 15 minutes. And you check the tape on that—everyone was smiling, everyone was happy!” So while Spicer may be right about the exaggeration, it’s hard to deny that McCarthy perfectly captured his hapless, screamy essence.

5. They are deplorable. What else can you say?

[nolabear]

6. Nothing like a delicate, petulant little flower of an administration.

It just gets more and more junior high.

7. What we need in the country is

MORE NASTY WOMEN! Get over it Spice boy. You signed onto this gig so deal with it or spend more time with your family if they'll have you.

8. Boo Hoo

9. Barack the Magic Negro

Rush Limbaugh played that for years.

Here are some other classics of the RNC and right wing media.

10. HAH! Spicer thinks THAT was 'mean'? Guess he never heard of Michael O'Donoghue.

For you younger members…...Imagine Borowitz writing while wielding the world's sharpest, most dangerous pen.

My, this generation of Republicans are so delicate and whiny.

[dalton99a]

12. Yeah, Mr. Mike and his sharp objects

like needles for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

[blm]

16. Could you imagine O'Donoghue replying to Trump on Twitter?

He hated the excesses of the privileged and thoroughly enjoyed making them targets.

"I learned early in the game that some of the kids could beat me up, but I found that I could make a remark that would keep them crying in their pillows for the next three days."

20. The first person to speak a line on SNL...

and creator of National Lampoon's 'The Vietnamese Baby Book', which included some of the darkest humor imaginable ('Baby's First Wound', baby's handprint - missing fingers).

I understand that he was a comic genius, but also had a very nasty personalty and temper.

Reading 'The Little Engine That Died' to a 14-year old Jodie Foster:

[blm]

22. Actually, he was a sweetheart. Only occasionally did he blow his temper. It just so happens when he

did, though, those occasions were memorable.

His actual personality was one of charm, grace, and great kindness to those around him. He could be every bit as kind as he was witty.

[SeattleVet]

24. Thanks - didn't know that side of him. nt

[blue neen]

11. I know, right?

Dear Trump Administration: YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!

[logosoco]

13. I find it a bit ironic

that a group of people that was so awful to Obama and it all seemed to be based on the color of his skin, they have awfully thin skin!

[yellowcanine]

15. Karma is a beach.

[dlk]

17. Boo Hoo

Awwww, life in the power center of the world is so difficult...

[Scarsdale]

18. Nasty?

Has he not heard his boss NOT Bannon the second in command, talk about women? He called Rosie O'Donnell fat pig, then talked about grabbing women by the p**sy. THAT is nasty, really NASTY. tRump grades women on a scale of 1 to 10, while he is a repulsive -7 on any females's scale!!

[spooky3]

19. She was great, but my favorite SNL skit was Black Jeopardy

With Tom Hanks. Everyone was pitch perfect in that and the writing was too.

Honorable mention to the debate sketches.

[agenasolva]

23. SNL was a million times harder on Obama

And these snowflakes cry about this? They need a safe space

[dchill]

25. LEAVE SEAN ALONE!!

[manicraven]

26. Another case of they can dish it out but can't take it.

We saw them at their rallies with their fuhrer! They were anything but kind and neither was he!

[Blanks]

27. Coke and Budweiser are being mean to them too...

Apparently forwarding diversity and appreciating immigrants is taking swipes at Trump and his supporters.

The irony is overwhelmingly amusing.

[DemonGoddess]

28. awwwwww

aren't they just so speshul? pea brained morons getting back what they give.

[GetRidOfThem]

29. They are all braindead!

Little Screwworms from outer space have invaded the occupants of the White House, and eaten half their brains. That is what is really going on, I tell you. I've seen this on TV!!! And now they are unhappy when someone makes fun of them!!!

We have to be careful - Donald J's head might explode on its own....

[Cha]

30. Oh BooHoo.. Melissa Accurately portrayed you.. of course she's

"mean", genius.

[wildeyed]

31. President Troll enabler haz a sad because the impersonations are "too mean"?

Those guys didn't patent mean. I feel like our team is JUST getting warmed up too. We haven't even started to play the game yet for real. Spicer and friends need to buckle up because the backlash is coming....
