SNL new Star Trek skit
- Thread starter Skipper

I enjoyed the sketch. It's more a parody on entitled behavior of certain portions of today's youth than it is about Star Trek.
...that was suppose to be funny?

Admittedly I've never watched SNL but I've seen the odd sketch here and there over the years and based on those I've never seen the big deal about it, I've rarely found them funny.
Does this mean Carey's now done Dr Who and Trek though?
"Funny" is quite subjective and even in front of the most hilarious skit in history someone will ask "Is it supposed to be funny?"....that was suppose to be funny?
So, I don't know what would be the right answer for a similar question. It was presented inside a sketch comedy and variety show so I suppose that whoever decided to broadcast it thought it was funny. Unless do you believe this is a proposal for a new Trek show and someone mistakenly put it inside SNL.
I found myself more intrigued by the set pieces, in particular, trying to determine if those "screens" mounted upon the bulkheads were actual LCD or oLED monitors. I could not detect any changes in the "data" displayed, so I'm guessing they were just "inert" elements. But certainly looked like they were illuminated.
Yeah, the set and costume designs were very well done.
Pity they didn't put as much effort into their jokes as they did with the sets and costumes.

No. But it was absurd....that was suppose to be funny?
I thought of her as somewhere between Michael Burnham, Lower Decks done badly, and Mary Sue; a character who is all 'woke', all emotion, and should totally be the hero, even though she is unqualified.
No show lasts on American TV for 46 seasons missing it’s mark on a regular basis. SNL is a sketch show which means multiple per week. That means there’ve been thousands of them. There are bomb sketches every week, but some of the sketches over the years have been incredibly incisive and funny.Admittedly I've never watched SNL but I've seen the odd sketch here and there over the years and based on those I've never seen the big deal about it, I've rarely found them funny.

Sounds like you haven’t seen enough to have an informed opinion.
It's not funny.
I really liked the set and the Trek meet B5 uniforms but yes, not as funny as some of their older Trek sketches (check out the ones with Chris Pine proving he can play Shatner-Kirk!).
The “I always see them in the corridors having deep conversations in hushed tones” line deserves a chuckle, though.

Same. I adore Kate McKinnon, but even she couldn't save this one for me....that was suppose to be funny?
I have no idea what i just watched. lol
She was the only decent thing about it...and she was completely wasted as the set-up, straight woman (so to speak).
