Boomers Got the Vax - SNL 

The whole song was so well written. That’s one of my favorite lines.

This is literally the best part of this song hahahaha

That bigge smalls ref tho 😂

That was the most brilliant part!! I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

Judging by the number of like-ers, and sheer enjoyment at joining the herd-mentality, we're doomed. At least the boomers and some Xers were not as easy to manipulate and turn on each-other. Each generation has things to admire and dislike about previous ones, but they could not be fooled on who the true culprits are; who had been shaping the society. The newest generations - the best example that someone can read hours-and-hours (silly things on their cells) per day, and it will not develop their understanding.

They got that late 90s hip hop feel just right. I-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y...

Yeah I get what you mean defo one of the best they have made

And a Grammy.

@@Mario_N64 I love you too

It was federal economic policy that was destroyed that caused the economic disasters not the baby boomers. I had customer who lived through the Great Depression and the Savings Bank I worked at saved his home and he told me that every time he came in to the bank. The Savings banks survived the Great Depression but not the greed of the Bushes and so on that were allowed to raid and destroy the economics of our banking and housing industries. This was NOT caused by the Baby Boomers. #historylesson

Wow no way. Cool. And yeah that's impressive that they turned this around in one day, since it involves editing so many takes, so many quick cuts, etc.

She has an album on spotify! She makes cute indie songs :) Her voice is so good

She has a good singing voice. You kind of need it if you're doing impressions of singer like she is.

Right. I'm mad they stopped doing that.

Legit the entire time I listened to this I was like "are they paying legit song writers for this sketch or what?" 🤔

Lol internal rhyme - were you an English major?!?! I was ik I was thinking that: 1) like a short story ~ by Edgar Allen Poe ~ it was tight, where every single word in it contribured to the meaning - and, 2) the production made this already hilarious thing 10 times more hilarious, omg rip

So nice of them to vote in half a million dollars of benefits after paying maybe 100k over their career

"You whine and cry while we dine inside" too... SNL writers have been killing it with these rap parodies

They should go on hiatus more often if the end result is bangers like this one

The whole point 😳

The best art produces incongruent emotions simultaneously like that. With satire, it's humor and angst. Read Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal' sometime. --It's just an essay, not a book, ha. Swift was an Irishman who wrote the Proposal anonymously as if he were an Englishman, proposing to ease the suffering of the poor Irish by buying off their children to eat and make things with their skins. I'll post a link in a separate (next) reply. If it's not there, it's because a bot deleted it. But it's the first Google result, a free read hosted on the Project Gutenberg ebook website.

Well, I never thought an SNL skit could have a comment section with a simultaneously super cute guy AND a FFXIV player! :D THAT makes me wanna punch my monitor! hahaha

Lol, I read that as "punch my mother." Either way, yes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one

'jab' 😅

I’m GenX and jab free!!!

First time in the history of humanity when senior citizens were lumped into a single group they didn't ask for and derided as if they never made a contribution to society by successive generations who literally have nothing to point to other than social media content creation.

As much as we take jabs them, I think we all agree they deserved the tax first!!

This has been stuck in my head ever since ... I texted it to everyone I know including the Boomers

Yee this was legitimately a good song

LETS MAKE IT NUMBER ONE

Chris Redd!!!

@@alw87642 He wrote this? 🔥

🤣🙌

@@JoeBlow_4 Times were different because your generation pulled the ladder up behind you and changed it.

@@scoobertmcruppert2915 Exactly.

They complained for a good reason. Boomers were 7900x more likely to die from Covid than the people wearing gray wigs and taunting them in the video. And they did die, by the hundreds of thousands because people the age of those in the video wouldn't wear masks. This video was dancing on graves.

@@truthmatters3871 Exactly! Why wouldn't the people most likely to die from Covid-19 get the vaccine? I'm a Boomer who has several underlying health issues that put me in the severe risk category for Covid-19, but I didn't complain about waiting in line behind doctors, nurses, other health care employees, first responders, nursing home residents, teachers, and other front line workers. When I got pushed back in line behind prisoners, well that got some grumbles out of me. Also, every time younger people start complaining or joking or making skits about Boomers, they forget that we aren't all white haired retired people with no debt and secure retirements. In fact, tens of millions of us are still in our 50s. Those of us at the tail end of the Boomer generation didn't get to come out of college with zero debt like the earlier Boomers did. We are just as likely to have had big college debt as the Gen X people who are just a few years younger than us, and are just as likely to be struggling with huge medical expenses and paychecks that haven't kept up with inflation. Owning 5 homes? Ha!

I got so angry lol

dis my dad.

What a bar!! lol

That part got me

Was their parenting style too.

My favorite part, lmao! Hilarious!

Poor Edith, wonder what happened to Urma Gerd

And damn can she sing too. She’s killed this chorus!

@@OvSpP Pretty much everyone on SNL can sing to some degree, and many can sing really well, but I think Melissa is the best vocalist in a very talented bunch.

no one cares who you are sexually attracted to

True!!!

RIP Bowen

Right.. the only time you see the entire cast is on stage at the end.. very impressive indeed

I was waiting for Pete for a rap break or be the grandson Chad.

Love it!

No Chloe, Punkie, Bowen, Beck, Pete, Cecily, Heidi, Alex, or Lauren (plus the weekend update hosts if you count them)

im pretty sure cecily is doing backing vocals which helps elevate melissa. most the cast can sing fairly well

@@kyltuck That may be true that Cecily was backing her, but Melissa is an actual singer with released music. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't have a backup singer.

@@kyltuck no that's Melissa herself, they layered her singing in two different tones like what they do in the chorus of Toto's Africa. She can hit the high notes without problem

Right?! She sounds really GOOD!

They do do that the best, that’s true.

How about black lesbians?

lmfao good one!@@dimitar297

I felt triggered

Its they on vacation while Im stuck home on zoom for me...

I'm a Boomer, and still hitting refresh thanks to Murphy in NJ

Its so real

Here in the UK all you don't have to do a damned thing to sign up for the vaccine. They call you or send you a letter when it's your turn.

There needs to be a name for that combination of empathy and also jealousy that the rest of us are feeling right now

@@_s827 called being a sheep waiting for your injection ☠

Joke's on them. Millennials don't go on cruises...at least not those kind.

@@ZanTaylor when the denier is sus!

Lots of drama kids who did musicals.

They seem to be doing multiple songs every week, and my guess is that this has something to do with COVID protocols affecting rehearsal schedules, so these music videos can get everyone involved without having to worry as much about rehearsal time because they just need to get one clean take for the camera.

@@toddjones1480 This song is kinda hot its catchy lol

You realize they have musicians and song writers on staff, right?

They have always been very musical but in this case the music video format allows for one skit to take place across multiple locations and be tied in layer.

the most underused cast member -- such a shame

I really wish they had spent more camera time on her as well. Just made it seem like she wasn't as important because everyone else had heavy focus during their verses

It wasn't until I watched it just now that I realized she is in the chorus

You're so pretty!

Ikr And she didn't even get a verse the nerve

Yea she should be on t.v. or something :)

@Peter Evans Plenty of boomers did get vaccinated though-you can name 20 people that didn't, I can name 20 that did. At my job I see that many messages or more over a day for people looking to get vaccinated-in other words, anecdotal evidence means nothing when there are actual numbers you can see.

Are you triggered

@@katemiller7874 Am I angry that a group of people who have been shitting on the entire planet and every generation apart from their for decades somehow also gets all the resources allocated to themselves first? Yeah.

@@SRosenberg203 I dunno man I wouldn't be too hard on the previous generations. Before the internet, you had to write letters or read books, meaning you had to seek out information and knowledge. As you go back further the allocation of information is even harder. You really didn't know what was going on on the other side of the world other than a newspaper or radio and most of the time that was propaganda as well. I think each generation tries to do better than the previous with the resources give. Maybe your generation could be the one to understand and forgive. Me personally, I think they older generation is the most vulnerable and deserves the vaccine, I just think you should have a little more respect for elders.

@@Ceares yes what people say & what they actually do is often different - I’d bet at least 50% of “I’m not getting it” white Re-Trumplicans are secretly hitting up the CVS

@@deniserossiter1059 Glad it all worked out! My Mom was up at three in the morning getting an appointment for Dad.

That triggered me .. as thats what i was doing 😩

That verse reminded me of how I spend a Saturday evening with my boomer dad and 2 siblings trying to get him a vaccine slot. We learned that rite aid released spots between 11:45 PM and 12:15 AM. We each chose a location and kept refreshing until one of us got a slot locked in. It shouldn’t have had to take 4 people in 4 different state staying up past midnight to get a vaccine slot. But here we are.

OOOF And I even know Boomers this applies to

@@RegentofSparta 👍🏾😂

That line right there !

Sadly, the people who least deserve the vaxx probably are the ones who should get it first from a public health standpoint.

They don't know anything about the boomer generation, 550,000 of which just died because people like the cast members refused to wear masks. Boomers fought for civil rights, fought against war, invented everything that makes your life easier, and a hell of a lot of them are poor. The boomer men went to college on the GI bill after they got out of the military--if they got out alive. The majority of boomer women never got a chance to go because the misogyny didn't allow them to go. The people you lump into "boomers" are GOP 1percenters who are stealing from boomers as much as they're stealing from you.
