Bill Burr’s Controversial SNL Monologue on Trump’s Victory
On November 9, comedian Bill Burr hosted Saturday Night Live, marking the show’s first episode following the recent presidential election. In a bold and provocative opening monologue, Burr referenced Trump’s previous victory over Hillary Clinton, declaring that women were “0 and 2″against him in their attempts to secure the presidency.
A Challenging Landscape for Women in Politics
Burr urged women aspiring to run for office to learn from past defeats, suggesting they review “the game tape”of what didn’t work. He humorously critiqued female candidates’ fashion choices, stating:
“All right, ladies, you’re 0 and 2 against this guy. O and 2! But you learn more from your losses than your wins… So let’s get into the game tape, all right? Ladies, enough with the pantsuit. It’s not working.”
Mixed Reactions from Audiences
Burr’s monologue drew varied responses on social media platforms, notably X (formerly Twitter). Some users applauded his remarks, viewing them as a refreshing departure from “woke”culture. One user posted:
“The best… we are in the post woke era.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with comments like “Bro walked in to offend and came out successfully completing the mission”and “Woke is dead!! Bill’s hilarious!”flooding the thread, showcasing that many found his style entertaining and truthful.
Criticism Amidst the Laughter
However, not all feedback was positive. Some viewers criticized the performance as being “painfully unfunny”and “horrific.”Comments like “What happened to Bill Burr? Is he that miserable at home?”captured the disappointment from those who felt he missed the mark.
“Bill Burr is very funny. This wasn’t funny at all. Big time swing and a miss.”
Further Commentary on Political Figures
As Burr’s monologue progressed, he continued to critique not only Kamala Harris but also Donald Trump. He humorously suggested that winning an election requires a shift in strategy, stating:
“You don’t win the office on policy; you gotta wh*re it up a little! I’m not saying go full Hooters… but find the happy medium.”
Commentary on Trump’s Actions
Burr did not hold back in his criticism of Trump, whom he referred to as an “orange bigot”and a “lunatic.”He also made light of a recent assassination attempt on Trump, suggesting that the President-elect’s erratic movements may have played a role in his survival.
Wrapping up his monologue, Burr spoke about Trump’s latest campaign appearances, humorously noting that witnessing Trump at a McDonald’s was a rare moment where he appeared “truly happy.”He remarked:
“Everybody knew who they were voting for four years ago, and then they just drag you through a year and a half of this stuff.”
As of now, there has been no official response from the representatives of either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump regarding Burr’s comments.
