Saturday Night Live ain’t exactly known for cutting edge, or particularly funny, comedy, these days. But, for some reason, this Tina Fey-as-poor-Albanian-immigrant GIRLS parody has been met with near–universal praise.
Has SNL’s years of sub-par “humor” primed some people (“idiots”) to accept this as hilarious? As our esteemed Managing Editor pointed out: We’ve seen the “clueless immigrant says inappropriate things” thing before – and better – when it was called “Borat” (to say nothing of Taxi‘s “Latke”)
Thankfully, meh-worthy SNL sketches aren’t the only game in town when it comes to GIRLS parodies. And, okay, sure, Hustler’s This Ain’t GIRLS – XXX parody isn’t exactly a comedy, and it doesn’t particularly look, sound, or feel like the HBO smash hit, but at least it’s…well, I’m not sure what it is.
