So, I DVRed through SNL last night and there were a couple skits that were hilarious.
One was the opening skit - it was some girls in the airport on their way to spring break - basically being crazy college girls telling spring break type stories and talking about all the trouble they are getting into. The whole time you see an older couple sitting between the 4 chatting girls. At the end you learn that they are the parents of some of the girls. So, the punchline becomes the shock that kids would talk like that in front of their parents and them sitting there like they have no problem with it. Funny skit, but interesting commentary on how many parents just don't care what trouble their kids get in to. I'm sure some of it is that they figure they did it and wound up ok, but I hope if I ever have kids I am not oblivious to the world that they live in. And by the way, for those of you who have never experienced a typical college spring break beach trip - it is every bit as crazy as it is on MTV and more.
Anyway, the second was a skit of a live podcast from Joplin, MO - which cracked me up because that is the town I stayed in the other week (and I will probably be spending a bunch of time there on and off). Then it got even funnier as a main theme became karaoke night at the Holiday Inn, which where I stayed, and I even caught part of karaoke night! I was actually in the lobby area because they had free WiFi, but it was amusing to watch.

Yeah, so I read the thing about the opening skit a few days before I watched the show. I figured, "Well, even though I've read it, I'll probably still laugh when I watch it if it's that good."
Well, I had a friend over yesterday and I put it on and while it was playing, she and I mostly just talked and I was half paying attention. At the end, I heard her say goodbye to her parents and I just started laughing cuz I caught enough of it to be hilarious.
I completely forgot about this :-D
