We all know Trump is an idiot and making fun of him is picking

only when it was shit like "yo check out this cool nigga obama he got a weed stash under the oval office a hoe in every bedroom yo'

>Obama why are you so cool why dont you ever lose your cool and you know like keeping it real yo hahaha omfg

Hey did once but then they issued an apology

A SNL writer went on record to say that Obama was "untouchable" because he is such a great person.

People didn't want to be reminded that Obama did terrible things, it's not the safe narrative. Trump, on the other hand, is just a detestable human being in general, even without taking into account his (seemingly, to be fair, since he's just starting) terrible policies.

If they made fun of Obama and no one was around to watch it, did they still make a joke?

>>80000332
Not really. I mean they made fun of his mannerisms and shit but that's about it. GWB, Clinton and HW were played as fools most of the time and I have no problem with them giving Trump shit; it's hard not to. I mean, it's their job there but they basically gave Obama a pass which is kind of shitty because the guy was far from perfect but he was the fucking messiah for the media and the left.

Obama was pretty boring, really - there was nothing about him to really make fun of. He seemed competent and charismatic and never really made a fool of himself, so what jokes were they supposed to tell, exactly?

>>80000332
every time Obama fucked up really badly or did something incredibly stupid, SNL gave him hell over it.

so, no.

Yeah, they used to hound Obama. Calling him a lazy nigger form Kenya and what not.

They did go harsh on him sometimes, and deservedly so

Of course Trump is a way easier target, he's a buffoon of the highest order. The truth is that all the comedy shows are gonna get a huge boost from him. I'll call it the Bush effect.

That skit where Jay Pharoah walked out in his Obama makeup, cut a hole in a watermelon, and fucked it for fifteen minutes while smacking his lips and screaming 'ooooo lawd!' was really raunchy. I can't believe the censors didn't cut that short.

Obama was a messianic figure of heroism and truth. Obama was the light in our dark times. We were all too stupid to appreciate what an advanced human being he was.

Besides Libya, Iraq, and blatant lying about Obamacare, sure.

Because guess who owns MSNBC.

>>80000903
NBC?

Obama had no personality, that's why the most popular comedic skit about him is the anger translator thing.

SNL has been on fire for a while now. The first Sean Spicer skit was phenomenal, most of the debates were too. "Steve Bannon" is a classic, too.

Nah. That may have been true a decade ago or so, but he's gone senile.
