Why isn't SNL poking fun at Sarah, Tasmanian Devil, Sanders?

[MoonRiver]

I think she's got a lot more joke material than even Spicey.

1. Make-up is still searching for volunteer caterpillars.

[MoonRiver]

2. LOL

[Sunlei]

3. because they call her Mrs. Huckabee. Bernie Sanders cousin plays him on SNL

yes, he is an actual relative of Bernies, recently revealed through PBS shows.

4. They did in the season opener

I don't find her a plethora of joke material . She is a dim witted dullard with bad fashion taste yawn that's it for me

5. Afraid it may backfire

The religious right thinks her daddy could do no wrong, plus Sanders is a woman , she also has an almost child like following from her dad's following.

I suspect snl are afraid of shaming her looks and mannerisms?

6. She is so uniformly unpleasant in attitude and demeanor--so perpetually angry and offensive

Unless they ridicule "looks" (or her "religious" hypocrisy) it is hard to make that "funny".

[MoonRiver]

7. They made Spicey's perpetual faux rage funny.

The "Devil" is a lot more deadpan, but I think it's a trait that could be mimicked.

10. Yes...but he was not perpetually angry and obnoxious. He occasionally showed a "friendly" side

a 'goofy' side.... His spin was clearly defiant and obnoxious, but it seems clear that he "wants" to be liked. Sarah? She thinks she is the "blessed" one and all else the "evil". That "holier than thou" attitude is definitely NOT FUNNY--unless you go for the hypocrisy.

[MoonRiver]

11. IDK, but I still think Huckelberry offers a lot of material.

Maybe they're experiencing "pressure."

8. Don't know but do know that SNL has

been awful the past two weeks. They need new writers.

[MoonRiver]

9. Maybe that's the problem.

[abbeyco]

12. They should play her as a Valley Girl

With her eye-rolls, heavy breathing/harrumphing and sucking her teeth, it would be a perfect way to lampoon her.

[MoonRiver]

13. Oh, that definitely fits!

[JHan]

14. I dunno, it's something when there's nothing in you worthy of parodying lol

[Efilroft Sul]

15. They should get Melissa McCarthy to play this role, too.

It'd probably drive them crazy.
