To put it nicely, the night was uneven; many sketches seemed to lack purpose, but there were high moments in the Weekend Update, including Che\u2019s analysis of toxic masculinity in the wake of the sexual assault scandal at Cornell, Zelda vs. GTA, and Kam Patterson on the Glee reboot. However, the whole episode reads as an erasure of Blackness, culminating in Guns for Women as a failed attempt to mock commodity feminism, but a great opportunity to talk about the distinction between amusement, humor, and funniness. Readings include Toni Morrison and Alan Robertson as well as our own memorable birthday stories.
