Maybe it’s because I’m not American and don’t get the humor… but it’s really more cringe than funny, I don’t know how it’s been on air for 50 years already. I am open to change my mind on this because I really tried to.

It stopped being funny a long time ago.
Even though Sad, Emo, Sugar, K and Fem Pop suck, they too make $$$.
The funniest part of this last episode was Morgan Wallen using it for exposure and dipping out ASAP
The Cold Open often really is the highlight of the show.
Back in the 70s and 80s it was different, fun, inventive, and highly entertaining.. it started to die in the 90s and is definitely DOA now.
About 10% is funny, but when it hits it hits.
Weekend update is the only part I’ll always watch.
It definitely had its “heyday” but especially lately has more misses than hits. It’s honestly better consumed with “Best of all time” compilations than watching an episode as it airs. The whole premise is celebrities who may or may not actually be good at comedy performing often hastily written bits to a live audience, which is obviously prone to bad performances. It’s a celebrity club that’s more for them than it is for us.
Sometimes, it’s decently funny. Weekend update is always worth watching. But actively watching SNL in its entirety is not worth it.
Not unpopular at all. MadTV & In Living Color are the goats of sketch comedy
