The season premiere of "SNL" seems to be about how the show is sick of itself.
I say "seems" only because I couldn't force myself more than halfway through the 7+ minutes:
I also skimmed the NYT review, "‘S.N.L.’ Season Premiere Weighs in on Its Own Trump Sketch." Yeah, they did a Trump sketch.
In the first episode of its 48th season, “S.N.L.” went meta in the opening sketch, recruiting the host, Miles Teller, and cast member Andrew Dismukes to play the sibling sports commentators Peyton and Eli Manning as they offered their running criticism on a seemingly standard satire of former President Donald J. Trump....
They know it's stale to just imitate DJT again, so the idea was to have 2 guys commenting, insulting the sketch, while cast members were humiliated by having to play badly and then get criticized. I take it the Manning brothers are a current phenomenon, but it reminded me of the Smothers Brothers, where the running joke was that one brother was dumber than the other.
Teller and Dismukes mocked various (scripted) elements of the sketch, like an awkward entrance from new cast member Michael Longfellow and Heidi Gardner’s impersonation of Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota.
This material is so bad — and presumably every other thing we thought of was so bad — that we tried to improve it by calling it bad as we forced you to watch it. But "going meta" is also stale, terribly stale, and you didn't even do it well. George Burns did it well in the 1950s. Beavis and Butt-Head did it well in the 1990s. Even if you invented going meta, this would be a fail.
And — for the first episode of a new season — the host was Miles Teller. Who is Miles Teller?!
