Just now watched the last Saturday Night Live episode. Thoughts on the Lafayette, LA skit?

It had me laughing with the over the top accent.

I found it on YouTube

Pretty funny stuff. Hadn't seen it before.

My aunt who lives there thought it was funny. But she is a NC transplant so doesn't quite have the accent, even after a few decades down there.

That was good. This one about the south in general always gets a laugh out of me.

The best humor is truthful, and that was truthful.

....I am portraying a 9 year old. Funny stuff.

I'll be shocked if some mom and pop breakfast joint in LaLa doesn't have a MAGA biscuit on the menu by the end of the week.

I watched it. Not even close to the accent and they absolutely butchered the pronunciation of Atchafalaya. Still, I chuckled.

Yea, the accent was dialed up to 200% which is where I found the humor. Some skits should be one-offs but I could see this being done a time or two more and still being worth watching.

They have done some skits making fun of southern Appalachian a time or two. When they are SOOO over the top it is usually funny without being mean, at least that is how I look at it.

It's a shame really because SNL did a much better job of skewering our culture with "Main Justice".

It's like they were trying to go back to the well, but this time with the second string.

Why were they in Maine, except for the non sequitur of being in Maine when they are carrying on like Cajuns? It was good and they did that skit twice it seems.

So in the 2nd skit they explain the joke being post Katrina relocations, or a space time distortion.

Thanks for sharing that. I like a good SNL skit.

I find this offensive because they think we have liberal news channels that Cajuns support.

Accident could use a little work but understandable

The fact you could understand the accent is even funnier than the skit, though I could as well but not 100%.

Great bit

I found the best part was working in the Cajuns jalepeno/chili pepper. (out of uniform, I might add)

I wonder if someone in the writer's room has a connection to the area.

A lot of the performers are pretty smart and well-rounded. The writers who really mold the sketches are even smarter. The writers rooms at The Simpsons, SNL and most late night shows has more Ivy League degrees than a lot of Fortune 500 board meetings.

SNL hasn't been funny in quite a long time.

I wasn't offended by the skit. I was offended by how wrong the accent was. It wasn't over the top, it was just incorrect. The only way a parody truly works is if it an accurate depiction of the subject being parodied. The accent sounded closer to Georgia or Low Country S. Carolina than South Louisiana. Sandler's Cajun Man was more accurate.
