Not So Funny Humor

I don't watch Saturday Night Live. Frankly, I'm almost always in bed already. Recently I saw a piece on YouTube that showed the guest of the night singing a Christmas Carol with cast members dressed up like Muppet Characters.

If you weren't really listening you would have thought it was a pretty funny piece. The guest sang some words and then various characters sang with funny sounding gibberish.

The song that was sung was "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". Interesting that the Muppet's sang every time there was any reference to Christ, the newborn King, or God being reconciled with man. In other words, they took a common and theologically profound Christmas Carol and made it into something that had lost all meaning.

It was a sad and disrespectful thing to do.

Bah and humbug and Shame on Saturday Night Live.
