SNL started as a radical outlet during the rise of the American Counterculture, when simply not confirming to established standards was enough to make a giant impression. In decades since, it's become an institution, and lost its primary motivation of subversive abandon, in favor of self preservation. It has accrued enough respect that occasionally recognized talents will humor themselves and conform to the format, but it's more of a medium that can occasionally channel brilliance, then the source of brilliance it once was in past decades. It's also important when looking back at Revolutionary works, that the best ones get copied endlessly, and some of them improve, leaving the original seeming lackluster in comparison if you don't have nostalgic reference for it. But in its own tíme, it was novel and unique and none of the acts it inspired were around, rather it blew up the decrepit copies of stale acts prior. A very similar trajectory is evident for The Simpson's, which looks stale and clumsy to fresh eyes, but only because it has reshaped everything in its wake.

Obama turned American politics into a shitty celebrity-fest with his garbage cameos and his "better than thou" persona. Half the US ultimately worshiped him for no real reason other than "muh black candidate" and those people had no real knowledge of his policies or American politics in general. Enter 2016, where the race was persona vs persona and the man the most charisma was constantly in the spotlight, as well as a pied piper plan by the main opposition that backfired along with rumors that the Democratic primaries were rigged that were confirmed in one way or another. The most corrupt candidate in American history gambling on multiple fronts and losing because of sheer arrogance, then blaming her loss on the Russians of all things like we were in a cold war all over again.

And never questions the military side of global trade, of course (and trump is the same for that, the difference is that he chose the "please to conservatives" strategy but it doesn't matter for the economic side, giving rights or not changes almost nothing for big companies after all ) But here in France we see some dark shit now behing these very "common and "at the middle"politicians", with the lots of police abuses, like giving order to charge a mass of people...next to the river of a city...one guy died in June, he drowned... and the "police of police" was like "no error happens" before the body was found... All this just because a dj played after the legal time during the national "music party day"... ordering cops to charge lot of people counting a lot drunk and/or stone very late isn't a good idea, ans next to a river even more... but it passed A man close to our president putting police outfits and weapons and beating badly a protester during an authorised manifestation...not very surprising... A lot of politicians are shady, and when they're into power the image doesn't last long...(if they were posing as "liberals" (fake ones), for the ones who chose to drag conservatives votes it's even less surprising, even if trump's government is doing even worqe that I bet with some friends during the us elections...)

She ran because "it was her turn," she acted like it was, and that's why it's not President-Elect Clinton. A lot of factors went into the voting issues, but McKinnon tapped that "well, duh" attitude that pols have the rest of America is pretty much done with. The best thing that can happen is for SNL and the like to do impressions of the impressive amount of shitty Representatives, Senators, and Governors. I doubt they will, because we're about to have a Tweeter in Chief that'll distract any meaningful satire from happening. I'll double down; the absolute best thing satirical media can do is completely ignore Trump and aim their criticism at federal and state level government positions.

10:30 This is satirizing Clinton's weird tendency to take on a Southern accent when speaking in Southern States. Specifically, based on her outfit, it seems to be ripping on a now infamous 2007 rally in Selma, AL where her fake southern accent was especially pronounced.

God, those people enrage me. Whenever I watch a Hillary Clinton sketch on SNL (McKinnon's), the comments section is full of "They pull soft blows on Hillary! SNL has been bought out by $hillary!" mobs. This confuses me, because... McKinnon depicts Hillary as an out-of-touch, robotic, power-hungry narcissist. Not exactly the most positive of portrayals. And people act like the media LOVES Hillary Clinton and HATES Trump, when in reality it's the other way around.

Great video. Something you touched on that, i think, is widely not known, is how the history of comedy is an insight into the history of public opinion. The type of jokes stand up comics write or sketch comics assemble is an insight into the beat of the nation. While often times, comedy can help shape public perception, it is moreso influenced by it.

The video is a lot more tame than I thought it would be. I applaud that. I really dislike the Clinton's, I'm voting for her, but I'm not happy about it (I considered third party which I know you dislike but the reason I couldn't vote for those two is because of their crazy ideas, not because it would help trump or whatever you say). I was a bit nervous coming to this video because, like Senator McCain during the primary in my state, whenever I heard praise of her I consider going for another candidate again despite knowing the others are crazy. Well done video, very nice!

I know this wasn't a full-on Hillary impression per-se, but there was a short lived TV show in 2012 called "Political Animals" which had a Hillary-esque character running for president. She had a philandering ex-husband who used to be president, serving two terms before leaving on a sour note (he slept with a LOT of interns) and the main character, played by Sigourney Weaver, tried running for president herself after her then-husband ended his term. She lost in the primaries and blamed her husband's reputation for it, divorcing him the week after the convention, then she ran against the president, who was in her OWN PARTY, 4 years later. Her ex-husband, who, turns out, is a lot smarter than he looks, ends up becoming her campaign manager, and it was later revealed that she lost the first time not because of him, but because the eventual president kept kicking her ass in the debates. The ending of the series leaves on a cliffhanger- the president intervenes on a hostage crisis and Sigourney finds out that he is, in fact, a wise leader. She apologizes for trying to boot him out of office, but the president tells her he is impressed by her tenacity and offers her a spot as vice president. (He disliked his own vice president, who was a yes man to corporations and was the sleaziest character on the show.) Sigourney tells him she needs a day to decide. The president gives her 24 hours, but, 12 hours later, as Sigourney makes her decision (she wants the vice presidency) the president apparently dies in a plane crash and the sleazy vice president, who the president privately fired but didn't tell anyone about, becomes president. The new president, who knew about the president's offer to Sigourney, vows to make Weaver's life miserable, and the ex-husband gives Sigourney two choices: continue her campaign (she never officially suspended it) or call it quits. The series ends with her uncertain about the future. The show had a lot of characters that were obviously caricatures of people who were relevant back in 2012, and one of the characters may have been an inspiration for Andre from Empire (eldest son who's power hungry and is married to a smoking hot woman of another race, which Weaver disapproves of) but it's definitely worth watching for the MILLIONS of references to Hillary Clinton... especially now, since a version of the sleazy vice president of this show was flat out elected president in real life.
