Response to Whit's Lead Blog
SNL is a show that I am very partial to. I like the sketch comedy on SNL, and (as much as I shouldn't) I buy into seeing the celebrity guests on the show. I also like parody, it's a clever take on comedy and has always been a genre that interested me. Music is also a good way to connect with audiences and I think it is done well on SNL every time they use it as a medium. This sketch is a simple poking through exaggeration, like Whit said. The difference is seriousness versus silliness in the skit is perfect. I really enjoyed the progression of the skit and how they incorporated Bruno Mars. Overall, I agree with Whit, and I think this sketch accomplished everything it set out to.

What do you think it set out to do? What's the nature of the poking? It seems like there's a seriousness here that doesn't rule out poking, but makes it more complicated in some way.
