Saturday Night Live waited until the final half-hour of its final episode of the season to air its darkest sketch. There is nothing safe about the skit, “World’s Most Evil Invention”, but it did cause laughter from the audience. The network decided to employ one of the most popular celebrities in America, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, to test the audience’s limits for politically incorrect humor.
So this begs the question:
Are the people laughing “sick evil monsters” or is humor complicated?
Is humor above morality? Is a joke just a joke or did they go too far? Do some people have, the green light, to say jokes that others are not allowed to speak? You will have to decide if this crosses a line that should never be crossed.
Humor is complicated. And whoever the comedian is can complicate it I even more. I don’t think joe Biden could’ve pulled this one off like the Rock.

You Stated — ” I don’t think joe Biden could’ve pulled this one off like the Rock.”
My Response — Agreed and another good catch! I hadn’t factored in the “Who”. I updated the post to include the who as a factor, thanks.

I took the Gallup Strengths Test last year. Across the board I was “ideation”. The ability to connect seemingly disparate topics. It’s really how I see everything without even thinking about it. I’m always connecting dots. Thank you sir.
