I sense that they were so terrified to do the wrong thing with this sketch and be criticised, that they dropped the ball on making it funny.

I laughed a lot more watching the actual trial.

This could have been funny with a decent Johnny Depp impersonator. And good writers. And someone involved who is actually watching the trial. And so forth. There is so much great material in that trial, and they straight up missed it all.

big props to whoever the audience warm up person is, they got this crowd laughing at this sketch

There are literally hundreds of TikToks about this trial that are funnier than this cold open.

That Johny Depp looks more like Zlatan lol

This sketch had so much potential but the writers dropped the ball. SO much to work with

This skit will go down in SNL history as one of their biggest missed opportunities.

You know this sucked when the actual trial is funnier. Damn they dropped the ball 😬

imagine waiting and thinking for a whole week and this is the best comedy you come up with

They were so afraid of mocking the “victim” that they did indeed mock the real victim. Way to go. Kate would’ve made a great AH.

I’m a person who looks at MOST situations with the though that there could be comedy in it. This case wasn’t too sensitive in my eyes so it was fair game but when the media is too scared to play both sides in something as distinct as a court case all it does is further solidify how men aren’t taken seriously when it comes to being victims of domestic violence.

They could have literally just reenacted the part about the muffins word for word and it would have been funnier.

I didn't laugh once...unlike the actual trial I'm constantly laughing 😅 😂

I’m glad we can all agree that SNL has disappointed us all with this sketch. They completely missed all the pure comedy gold that is this trial. Edits on TikTok are funnier let’s be honest.

the most offensive part of this apart from not being funny is how they made amber's lawyer look and sound reasonable and professional

This needs to be redone by someone who can correctly satirise the material. Amber wasn't shown once, her lawyer needs to say objection more, they focused entirely too much on poop in the bed, and to be honest Johnny smiling is because of Amber's terrible legal defense.

I was expecting more from SNL on this trial :( The countless memes on social media were funnier.

I don't get the impression that anyone who wrote this was actually really watching the trial

This was possibly the most safe and unfunny sketch I’ve ever seen on this trial. It might be time to pack it up guys.
