SNL makes tumblr cry -

[pickledance]

So This week SNL released a skit on millenials:

I doubl many of the kiddos bitching would have been watching aside from Miley Cyrus was on.

But I digress, let's look at reactions:

Honestly it's just funny, not like I think this will last with millennial attention span. Twitter's also having a tantrum.

 

[Hat]

I don't think that this is really worth its own thread; I think that these posts would be better placed in the random posts thread. In any case, most of these posts don't seem that upset anyway.

It literally just aired tonight, give it a day for outrage.

 

[Gensdupays]

It's terribly fitting that most of the outrage for this is in barely comprehensible and incomplete sentences.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

Haha, "I'm not a lazy whiner with a victim complex, I just watched more than entire season of a show I apparently don't like in a day!"

 

[Silver]

Completely on point.
-a millennial

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

I love how they keep bringing up how much they care about "important issues". You know, like men sitting a certain way on the subway, or white people getting tans.

 

[BT 075]

Millennials suck donkeyballs. They're the touchiest and whiniest of generations you could possibly make fun of.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

Has this generation really lost the concepts of satire and being able to take a fucking joke?

I hope to God that these people won't inherit the Earth...

if tumblr reaction to "welcome to tumblr" and this is any sign then yes yes they have

 

[Lackadaisy]

This is so fucking on-point, but the inevitable shitstorm is what's going to make this the funniest thing that SNL has done in 10+ years.

 

[Chicken Dippers]

I'm a millennial, and I don't really care that the sketch makes fun of us, but it wasn't particularly funny either. Too on the nose. It's like the writers scraped up every stereotype they could find and brought them all together to make one lousy sketch. That said, the outrage should be more amusing.

Wait till they really get triggered

 

[Hyperion]

I don't even own a smartphone get on my level SNL

The sketch was pretty mediocre but either through intentional planning or luck SNL has triggered an outrage of people trying their best to emulate the characters in the sketch

 

[Lunete]

I see it as them making fun of those millennial Tumblrinas who demand trigger warnings and safe spaces from their universities while they bitch on their IPhones about how oppressed they are because the lady at Starbucks misspelled their name.

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Since they lump all people of certain groups together (Whites, men, straights, POCs), they assume everyone else does the same, hence their inability to understand that this skit is mocking a certain kind of person, rather than everybody that was born at a certain time.

Then they wonder why more people are aspies now.

While the skit was rather meh, I will say that this is accurate for millennials in general (saying this as a millennial myself), but I have to say that this is especially true for tumblrinas. Why so serious tumblrinas? Can't you just learn to take a joke, maybe laugh, or maybe just stop being so negative and cynical tumblrinas?

Aren't you a tumblrina?
