In reply to the discussion: Louis C.K.'s 'SNL' Monologue About Child Molestation Leads to Uproar [View all]Orrex
(63,434 posts)42. It's worth remember that SNL has been wildly unfunny for most of its run
Even including the Tina Fey years, if we took the absolute best bits from the entire run of the show, you might come close to almost producing one high-quality season.
However, Louis CK is a love-him-or-hate-him comic, and he absolutely doesn't shy away from controversy. I hope that Twitter can somehow survive its outrage.

OP
"One Twitter user called it the "unfunniest, most offensive 'SNL' monologue" ever."

Louis C.K. said something offensive? Can we be sure? It sounds so out of character.

"Instant outrage" was why Twitter was invented. That, and to expose the world's most stupid people.

To me it felt like he was trying to be so edgy, but I didn't find it particularly clever or funny.

There is not one time in my life I thought pedophilia was funny (in any context).
