I think "This man has no dick" could easily be used in a red-band Youtube trailer. But your point is well taken.

Have read all the books, even Tom Davis's slog.
Have done the set tour.
Watch all the cut-for-time sketches online (ALL of them).
Wrote a letter to NBC informing them of my boycott when Trump recently hosted.


I even know who Marci Klein is.


We can take this as far as you want to go...

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm a massive fan, but I recognize that they are in a pretty serious slump of churning out unfunny garbage. I believe it's due to the changes in the writers' room, and their general unwillingness to do anything even vaguely biting when it comes to social/political commentary. The only skits that are occasionally funny are the oddball/absurdist ones, which are usually the last skit of the night (if not cut for time and aired on NBC.com).
