Now I like sex as much as the next guy, and I think I'm pretty far from a prude. I don't mind hearing a sex-related joke or watching a skit about it either. But when the majority of the material you can come up with revolves around or involves explicit sexual content, isn't that a little ridiculous? Here's a list of the skits and their topics:
- The Five Timers Club - solid and funny, including appearances from many beloved hosts and cast members
- Romantic Comedy - a mock movie trailer centered around a man's relationship with a transgendered woman (she had a shlong).
- Weekend Update - funny and mostly non-sexual, but featured an annoying flamboyantly gay character named Stefon about halfway through though.
- It's a Date - dating show where contestants compete for the bachelorette. It centered around sex and ended with the contestants joking about having a fivesome.
- Tales of Sober Caligula - talked about orgies, sex with various animals, etc.
- Maine Justice - mildly humorous, and surprisingly non-sexual.
- NuvaBling - spoof ad of the Nuva Ring contraceptive ring = birth control for glam girls.
- Moet & Chandon Ad - featured former porn starts selling perfume. Funny, but primarily about sex again.
Since this was the first time watching SNL in many moons, perhaps this episode was abnormal. I'll probably give them the benefit of the doubt and try it again (at least one more time). But I'm starting to miss Mad TV more and more.
