Support NeoGAF

[SatelliteOfLove]

This has been an especially leaky administration so far, I imagine because there are people in the WH who don't think Trump should be president.

Plus there's the rivals angle (which from long time insiders means that one side's trying to bury another by shining a light on unfinished policy). Grain of salt and all that, but like alot here, yeah, there's lots of smoke.

 

[Neuromancer]

I've thought that depicting Bannon as Death was a bad idea because he probably really likes it. Rosie would be a huge improvement.

 

[NastyBook]

That moment when you witness the turning point when GAF comes around on Melissa McCarthy

I thought she nailed her homage to Chris Farley, too. That thread was fucking BRUTAL towards her.

 

[Mask]

Good, the whole white house administration is a joke right now, so I hope they stay rattled and messed up by SNL and everyone else parodying them. They're not a proper administration as it is, so they don't deserve anything more than constant mocking and protesting!

 

[.JayZii]

Someone get Rosie O'Donnel on the phone.

I didn't know I wanted a Trump or Bannon played by Rosie O'Donnel until just now, but this has to happen right?

 

[Montresor]

Why the fuck is the official NBC video blocked in Canada?

On what grounds? How does that actually benefit anybody? Oh so you don't want my view or advertising dollar? Maybe I'll just "pirate" it by viewing it on some random channel? Fuck's sake!

 

[The Llama]

I wonder how the journalists get these tidbits. Over drinks at a DC bar?

Email, mostly. Sometimes texts or in-person meetings.

 

[sc0la]

If Rosie is Bannon then Alicia Machado needs to play Melania

No you have to do drag to give them the ickies. Chris Kattan as Melanie? Is he still alive?

Licensing by country is real

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

All-female cast. Except for his wife and Conway, who would be men in drag, with the exception of Putin (mandatory toplessness, you know).

Busey as Conway.

 

[Oblivion]

In retrospect, just how much did this get under POTUS' skin

What is this?

 

[zma1013]

Lol Rosie as Bannon would be epic as shit

Rosie as Bannon bossing Trump around telling him what to do.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

What is this?

I believe a European government signing in progressive legislature while posing in a wink wink fuck you way to Trump.

 

[rec0ded1]

What if the leaker is bannon doing some 5d chess?

 

[Nesotenso]

My god does he only watch SNL

it seems all he does is watch TV

 

[Randolph Freelander]

What is this?

[Chumley]

I hope he does like it so that when they take the grim reaper mask off and it's Rosie he freaks the fuck out.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Busey as Conway.

Oh, Jesus. LOL. That is a better idea than Denis Leary that was mentioned earlier.

 

[Oblivion]

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_facto...e_signing_session.html?wpsrc=sh_all_dt_tw_top

That is awesome.

 

[Makonero]

Rosie as Bannon bossing Trump around telling him what to do.

YES

How cathartic would that be for her?

"Get on your knees Donald, don't slobber so much this time"

 

[The Llama]

If anyone wants a good FOIA idea, ask for Spicer's emails with anyone with an @nytimes.com email address. I bet you'll get some interesting stuff. I'd do it myself but I'm too lazy

 

[gabbo]

Well I did my part and retweeted it an nbcsnl.

 

[Freshmaker]

Rosie O Donnel on SNL has got to happen. She's probably Trump's most hated person in the world and her making fun of him would devastate him!

Rosie playing Trump would end him.

 

[Already Torn]

Having a woman play Trump is the perfect opportunity to bring #DonaldTrumpCantGrowFacialHair to the big stage.

 

[PantherLotus]

If Rosie is Bannon then Alicia Machado needs to play Melania

holy

Contracts. Laws.

 

[gamerMan]

SNL should do one with Trump in a robe and Bannon (played by Rosie O Donnel) beside him.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Trump just gut a significant amount of Wall street regulations, put the CEO of exxon mobile in a high level position and lined his entire cabinet with billionare wallstreet guys, as well as assigned people to departments who are in charge of specifically destroying those departments in question

What Trump thinks of an SNL skit is a distraction from the real damage they are doing

 

[Netherscourge]

So Trump is going to replace anyone who excels at being mocked by others?

 

[Cipherr]

Someone get Rosie O'Donnel on the phone.

"Do it."

 

[Weckum]

Good...now who has a go at Bannon on the next episode?

They have done him as Death, but they should get Bill Ponderosa from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to do him:

On second thought: Rosie O'Donnell would be even better yes.

BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


The levels that this skit is going to have. 1) Trump's weird obsession with Rosie O'Donnell. 2) Bannon being played by a woman (especially one trump hates). 3) Having Bannon being more respected than Trump.

This is a potential homerun.

We're talking about that stuff, and Trump himself isn't involved with that other stuff. That's all President Bannon.

 

[RustyNails]

Hasn't SNL making fun of presidents (and election candidates) been a thing since the early 1980s? Did they expect that suddenly they would be off limits?

My oldest memory of Al Gore is that damn lock box meme because of SNL.

Even before. Chevy Chase embodied president Gerald Ford as a bumbling idiot.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

SNL should do one with Trump in a robe and Bannon (played by Rosie O Donnel) beside him.

This is the sketch, right here. He cant' stop tweeting and She's just sliding executive orders in front of him.

Did you make that?

 

[Username1198]

SNL should do one with Trump in a robe and Bannon (played by Rosie O Donnel) beside him.

Man that's hawt.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

She was spot on but... I mean, I wouldn't take a used car salesman seriously if he was rattled by SNL, muchtheless a political administration

Not like I have any other reason to take them seriously of course

 

[Beer Monkey]

They need to have a rotation of women playing Bannon. Just have them taking the death mask off at the beginning of the sketch.

 

[MomoPufflet]

I changed my mind, Rosie O'Donnell should play Trump.

If she can do a 40% passable Trump it would be worth it for an episode. Then have her and McCarthy-Spicer make out at the end.

Trump didn't tweet this or anything. It's a leaked story to an online blog.

I mean sure, it's a "distraction" from what Trump is doing. Just like the Super Bowl or the launch of Nintendo Switch is a distraction. But come on...

No offense intended, but I think you've revealed how people will make out any Trump news at all as being "this is all part of his master manipulation to distract us from what he's really doing!"

 

[Brinbe]

This must happen!

 

[highrider]

McCarthy gets props from me for life for this one.

 

[whitemex88]

you'd think these leaks would be fixed by now

 

[neurosisxeno]

you'd think these leaks would be fixed by now

When people are terrified of how incompetent and erratic you are, they are very willing to talk. When they respect you this doesn't happen.

 

[yanipheonu]

You just know Trump's Walnut Brain really hated seeing his lapdog getting mocked, all for things he basically said in real life.

The idea of the White House "rattled" by a goddamn SNL skit shows how much stock they put into reality show bs. Turns out the way to slice away at Trump is to screw around with his reality show image. People won't be so happy when the orange guy in the Big Brother house turns heel.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

It really was an inspired choice to get McCarthy for the impersonation. She totally nailed it with the voice. Good shit.

 

[Mechanized]

Oh please have a woman impersonate Trump next. These fragile egos are just about to crack right into an impeachment.

 

[Maengun1]

1. Have Aidy Bryant take over playing Trump
2. Trump resigns???

 

[Isotropy]

So, their biggest issue is that it was a woman playing him? Seriously?

My goodness they're morons.

This is dangerous knowledge. Wonderful knowledge. Use it well, SNL.

 

[Amalthea]

There should be a contest for the most insulting Trump depiction.
