I can't believe the actual trial is funnier than the scripted SNL skit...

I didn’t expect to find koofy of all people here but hey YouTubers are people too

I CAN ......THEY. SYCKKKED. FOREVERRRR

A lot of things are funnier than SNL skits

@Irish Scout norm, norm was good.

KOFFY

I didn’t think anyone could act worse than Amber Heard, this proved me wrong.

@ShawsOwn you called?

amber is a good actress. depp is a great actor. they both have awful sides to them

I didn't understand what this meant until I wasted 5 minutes on this video. This could have been so funny and it failed so incredibly hard.

Brilliant.

Wow. Congrats to Amber; she put on a better performance than the entire cast of SNL. Got more laughs out of me, too.

I remember the days when SNL was funny and full of people with talent.

1987

@Chip Means norm

​@ManYoureAStrangeAnimal Yeah - when Miller was upbeat and funny and joked about everything...before he became all surly and political. I'd agree that the best era was the 70's to the early-mid 80's, and then it definitely *did* lag in the mid-80's! With the exception of Miller on the news and maybe a handful of other skits, the worst year by FAR, in the ENTIRE 47 plus-year run of the show, was the '85 - '86 season, which premiered with Madonna hosting. It was the year that Lorne Michaels re-acquired the show as lead producer and could be considered a "rebuilding" year of sorts. 😛 So it took a few years, but going into the 90's things did get up to speed and got better again. 🙂 But now, with the PC / Cancel-Culture / Thin Skin Era...UGH! Fuhgeddaboudit!! 😀

@White Obama And early to mid-'90s, White Obama. The mid-'80s were actually pretty boring/awful, too. The golden era was the '70s and then late '80s to mid-to-late-'90s. Then it just all went to Hell. It became a less funny version of MadTV which wasn't remotely funny.

Watched this out of morbid curiosity. Only time I cracked a smile is picturing a bunch of 60 year old suits reading over the script and approving it

@TOZ mcGOZ 😲😄

@phoenixash Delfuego OH I DID

That couldn't bring a smile to a sitting of snl. It's pure sadness watching this, I'm even hungry now. My metabolism sped up so I have an excuse to go and do something in similarity to someone, it rhymes with gambler herd.

I wouldn't have thought they could make the Heard Depp trial boring, but they found a way.

SNL started going downhill in 2015

What are you talking about, a lot of it was boring. Depp himself bored me at times when he was on the stand.

This 💩 is funny

@imDeano91 if anyone is here for actual comedy and not cringe can you even call them real they’re Just an NPC.

They nailed it as always. SNL is legendary

“I guess ive been known to be a... full nightmare” Wow really raised the bar with that punchline😐

right and full nightmare doesn't even mean anything...what's full about it?

i honestly can’t believe that amber who cried for 10 minutes about her dog was more entertaining than this

I miss when SNL was actually funny and full of talent.

This feels as well written and acted as a sophomore year highschool drama class project. You really could have done so much more.

I know I was thinking the same thing, really wasnt good

devolution[d)[0](t)link

I'll take the sophomore drama any day.

THANK YOU. I literally just wrote the same thing lol.

Seriously

To see SNL to have so much insight into what really happens with the cleaning crew is amazingly right on ! 😎👍

Whatta disappointment! I found myself more entertained watching Johnny Depp arrive & head into court every morning during the trial…what’s even more sad is I KNOW I’m not the only one feeling this way!🤦🏽‍♀️Like WTF was that!?🤷🏽‍♀️

it was an embarrassingly poor attempt at humor

The thing that ultimately couldn’t save this sketch from being so thoroughly unfunny was how each joke strained to avoid ‘taking sides’ in the case. Because god forbid NBC should air a joke that contradicts the mainstream narrative, or ‘undermines the MeToo movement’ by indicating any support for depp, or opposition towards heard. But by refusing to make jokes from the perspective of a Depp supporter, the writers failed to capture the absurdity of the trial (yea, that’s where all of the humor was, babe. We were all laughing at amber.)

Oh wow, this is my first time seeing a SNL skit in years ever since the show began tanking in a downward spiral. SNL has really become a 5th grade talent competition.

Did a team of writers really gather together and agree that this is good enough to air? 😅

They are all coked out

I think they assumed that the shit on bed would make people laugh and it just fell flat.

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@MBG And what’s sad is that Kyle Mooney has talent and could do better. But I’m also thinking that the writers didn’t give him much to work with.

That was dreadful I agree

Absolutely hilarious 🤣👏

Love the fake laugh track really helps us take you serious

Excellent I love it the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.

“This trial is for fun”. Best Scene.

Once again, SNL made us realize how humorless it has become.

No, this is hilarious!

SNL hasn’t changed at all, your brain is just the greatest filter known to man. How it works is, looking back, you forget all the garbage skits and just remember the great ones, so you’re thinking “wow they were hit after hit!” but really it’s ALWAYS been like 10 cringe trash skits for one legendary one.

@Corinne K 🤣😅little Stuart.

​@rayvenswrath one world. conditioning

@rayvenswrath Look what I can do!

Is there a word for the opposite of a laugh? That's what I did while watching this.

You must have been throwing up like me. This show has or is dying a painful death

I have laughed until I cried over this. I knew they wold do a skit

It's so funny when someone gets their life destoyed by lies perpetuated by the media. They did pick an appropriate news outlet for the story.

Knew this episode was going to be lousy when this was how it began. Grateful to the people who have put together the clips of the various who are leaving doing their goodbyes, because I fast-forwarded through 95% of the show.

I'm not a writer, but I just think that this sketch could've been a lot better if they had implemented some comedy throughout it.

Underrated comment!! 😆

👑👑👑

Ha 🤣😂

Exactly my first laugh with 30seconds left in vid

This is about as painful as shredding the soles of one's feet on broken glass, getting punched by a fistful of ringed fingers, seeing your spouse take ten MDMA pills at once and committing perjury on a live TV broadcast... Oh, wait, only one of those things actually happened.

Hahahahahaha!!! Love it! Good job guys 👍

Omg I can’t stop laughing

This is sad.. even more after JD finally proved his innocence and that AH was the actual abuser. Now go make some fun about other abuse victims.

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

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@showbizroxs As someone who is 'liberal' don't put this cringe she on us. We dont claim SNL

@Uneek Intellect Everyone? The last decade they only made fun of Trump. Seriously Trump impersonations fed their families for a decade.

Everyone involved top to bottom, including the casting of the show dropped the ball.

after todays verdict It's gonna get a little more awkward for SNL. 🙄

Wow, this is the best you could do with the trial? You're all bad at your jobs and should be ashamed of yourselves.

The actual trial set my expectations too high. "Just keep talking about the shit, shit jokes are funny"

You know it’s messed up when you think about how this “skit” wouldn’t have happened if it had been the opposite. A woman accusing a man of abuse. But since it’s a man doing it, it’s amusing to SNL clearly.

I laughed a lot more watching the actual trial.

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@MiMi this is NOT American comedy. It’s not even *comedy.*

@soyhard deren it the mainstream comedy that's not funny

@soyhard deren American Comedy is so cringe, it feels like I'm watching Sam & Cat. British comedy is much more funnier.

I saw Kyle as Jonny and thought “this gotta be good…” then watched as the the excitement slowly vanished from my face as they reached midway. The first few comments confirmed that I didn’t lose my sense of humor. Not only was this skit wack as hell but it was also lazy and borderline offensive.

“She’s my cleaning lady” 😆

This is hilarious!

Imagine they made fun of a different race other than white people in those skits....

When the actual trial is funnier than the SNL skit. Current day SNL, everyone 🤷‍♂️

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@Alyssa Music i’ve watched plenty of early SNL, from each decade, their skits were never that good in my opinion. it doesn’t matter how old i am.

@katelyn yeah it has. Lol. Are you that young that you don’t remember that the greatest comedians of all time were on that show?

it’s never really been funny

"Oh, word?" I'm done.🤣😂😍

"if I'm lying I'm flying "🤣

The actual trial is funnier then this

They could of used so many quotes from the trial and it would of been 10x funnier, the trial wrote the sketch itself

That moment the actual entire trial is funnier than this sketch.

devolution[d)[0](t)link

I've been to funerals that were funnier than this sketch.

I've been convinced for the last 10 years that the laughing is a laughing track not real people

SNL as always about as funny as a heart attack.

amazing. snl can take a hilarious situation and f it up sooo badly you feel bad for the cast

Can't believe they managed to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic to do a skit about Johnny Depp. Respect

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

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@Cynthia Heber it's a remix now :)

🤣🤣🤣 OMG yes! That was hilarious! She said - can we stop talking about the muffins? I asked my husband to buy the muffins. My husband bought the muffins. My husband brought the muffins to my office. Amber and myself enjoyed the muffins that my husband brought to the office.

The tik tok videos people made were so much funnier than this, they just should have skipped it.

Or Amica Cream

The fact that 71K people liked this enough to give it a thumbs up just goes to show people will consume whatever garbage is put infront of them with a smile on their face as long as society tells them its good😂🤦‍♂️

Well, they hit the nail on the head with this skit.

Compair present day Saturday Night Live with its first ten years. If there was any doubt in your mind about the differences in the quality of comedy, this video tells all.

You got the whole squad laughing 😐

The fact that the “Real” trial is funnier then this skit is hilarious.

My thoughts exactly This is 🥱 boring

Probably because SNL just isn't funny anymore lmao.

@Jillian_vs_Jilly_vs_Jill 🙂

@john bondola really you watching SNL

The fact you pay too much attention to the real trial is pathetic.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Just love this!!

I like how they still need canned laughter to make stuff funny

Wow... Snl has dropped 😂 oh well, good old snl everyday

Man... Kenan was funny once in Good Burger.

Just when you thought SNL couldn't get any less funny they set a whole new low You never disappoint in disappointing

the 1st girl was a bit funny in the first 8 seconds

@Level Intent Your loss, its funny.

It was funny 30 years ago today is like Fallon, about as funny as a train wreak. Miss The King of Monologue!

devolution[d)[0](t)link

Amen.

Now they need to do the Elaine bredehoft losing tour interviews lol 😆

I miss the days when SNL was funny and not a mouth piece for the Jim Crow Democrats in disguise as Social Justice Democrats. The whole nation would stay home to watch snl and the second it was over go to the bars and night clubs to talk about what they had just watched.

I feel like I'm watching a high school play

Damn...I'm so impressed by how disappointing SNL can be

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.

@A Q exactly my point.

Well hey now they don't want to be labeled misogynists and get #metoo-shaped-target on their actors and producers backs. I don't blame them for stepping carefully around this

devolution[d)[0](t)link

Such cowards!

@AndJustUsForAll that's impossible, but snl isn't funny even 10 percent of the time

They don't even portray Amber even though she's a gold mine of mockery?? Reminds me of those horrendous pro-Hillary skits in 2016 mocking Trump and then he ends up winning lmao seriously just put this show to sleep already

Damn he had the best Johnny Depp impression?! That guy sucks 🤣

There were so many golden comedic moments in this trial and they went with the most juvenile, least funny aspect. Just when you think SNL can’t get any less funny…this.

When the glasses came out I lost it

They were so afraid of making fun of a victim, that they actually made fun of a victim.

devolution[d)[0](t)link

@Joseph Bridges Ok Joseph

@Ethan Brock asked and answered

@Joseph Bridges Did you not watch any of the trial?

@Joseph Bridges a lot of people are able to look at things objectively. The issue is the ones who don't, feel others aren't objective. It also depends on the situation and the platform.

how can something age so badly in such a short space of time

Everything woke turns to boo-boo

Awee , they left out the funniest character 🥲

Damn SNL you can make the funniest thing to happen this year painful to watch

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

The writer was probably allowed 5 minutes to watch the trial at work. Then finished the whole script in 20 minutes.

@Joe Schmo cry about it

Exactly!!!?

@Joe Schmo dv is important to some people.Schmo,spot on.

@Lauren Rose YES! YOU USE ALL PLATFORMS TO HELP GET CONTENT! Television, Twitch, Newspapers, Magazines, News boardcasts, current events...etc

"It does sound fun and this trial is for fun"

SNL must support Amber Heard. No word from them since Johnny Depp's win.

Objection, hearsay 🤣👌🏻

It makes me laugh so much that this is actually less funny than the real trial.

Tbh I lowkey found this funny, I didn't think SNL could make something hilarious, and turn it NOT hilarious. Oh wait that's what they have been doing for the years.

She says she's a landscaper but she's wearing a tool belt 😂

I didn’t think they’d be allowed to Do this but it’s amazing

Everyone is making fun of amber heard? Great. Keep it up

The fact that amber heard’s lawyer didn’t say “objection hearsay” every 5 seconds proves that they didn’t watch the actual trial Omg this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment!!! Thank you 😊 (Also to the people saying that JD’s lawyer was also saying objection, the skit has JD giving his testimony not Amber. So it wouldn’t make sense for JD’s own lawyer to say objection to their own question. That was something only Amber’s lawyer did)

Thanking for likes, oof. I sincerely hope you have a fulfilled meaningful life and friends/family who support and uplift you.

@WookieWarrior yes, that’s what I meant I guess I should have added that camilles were all sustained. Camille is the queen of sustained objections 👏👏🦙

@Normy camilles were sustained, ambers lawyer was just saying shit and the judge constantly overruled her the fail is what makes it funny. camilles was also funny because it was like her and the judge were shitting on ambers team

Edit : "omg in such a looser"

His lawyers say it constantly too

I miss the days when SNL was actually funny

Such potential to be hilarious and they do this?! Come onn. 😂

"and this trial is for fun" indeed

Wow I REMEMBER WHEN SNL WAS ACTUALLY HILARIOUSLY FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣 !!! WTF HAPPENED???🤔🤔

You had sooooo much potential with this trial… but if you’re too scared to call her out, maybe just don’t do the skit…

Exactly 💯

100%

THIS

Yess! 🙌🏼 exactly!

Yea poo poo skits? Like are we viewers 5?

Laughed once. Thanks Keenan

when the youtube comments are funnier than a professional comedy show

Tell me you didn’t watch the trial without telling me you didn’t watch the trial.

It's a good thing Johnny Depp had never been on SNL.

How did they manage to not take advantage of the pure comedy gold presented by the defense

@Matthew Mosier Unbased opinion

@Julie B thank you. All the misogynists making this about the fact that she’s a woman, when the truth is that they just can’t risk making fun of a potential abuse victim. Despite how things look, no one absolutely knows the truth for certain.

Because they’re too scared. They should have left it alone if they couldn’t do it right. Idiots…

Were the writers really in a room writing this all agreeing that it was funny? There’s just no way

Is it intentional that she asked "can you tell me who this is" and he was able to answer her question before she even turned on the tv? Lol

They used all the good stuff in the "real" trial, I guess.

Update, Disney has apologized to Johnny Depp and asked him to return as Captain Jack . Aquaman is being recast and every scene she was in is being re-shot . her career is over . Even children under the age of 10 that saw her testify said she's lying . she is like a cartoon villain anyone can see she's guilty .

So nice to see SNL do skits even though all the writters are away on holiday.

@Kyle Smith Oh no...i made a typo in a foreign language. Anyway...

No these ARE the writers thats what makes it worse

Writters is not a worrd.

I came to this video to laugh and luckily your comment was here to actually make that happen
