Handmaids in the City - SNL 

I love the fact that they slipped in “80 year old author” because were still doing the same shit decades later

"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV"

Welp. This was 4 years ago, and here we are today. It’s like they knew.

“Jon controls me and I don’t pay rent”😂

I’ve never seen a single episode of "The Handmaids Tale", but this still made me laugh lol

"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV." Such true words for modern times.

I’m seconds in and literally cracking up. It’s HILARIOUS Bc this is actually how women have survived throughout world history! We’ve been chattel, told to be grateful for getting forcefully wed and raped all our lives, considered property, not allowed to vote or go to school, etc etc etc..... But always got together and were able to laugh and giggle and gossip and talk about “frivolous, silly, feminine” things. Then of course that’s seen as weak or stupid, but it’s actually unbelievably strong to be able to do that in the face of dehumanizing adversity. My rant aside, this is hilarious.

I don't know if I should laugh or be sad

Gilead has begun in Alabama.

You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll think, On My God, this could do be me and my friends. You know, with the way things are going.😂😂😂

And here we are, well on our way to this no longer being parody.

“You know, with the ways things are going.” I was dead.

It’s Rent controlled John controls me and I don’t pay rent😂😂

Heh… anyone watching this after roe v wade being overturned? Because now it’s a little more scary than when I watched it 4 years ago…

in 2022 this is basically reality

"Oh my God, this so could be me and my firends, you know, the way things are going" - lol, I remember feeling that way in 2018! Ugh. Still do...

“Under his...” “Don’t” Genius

Welcome to Gilead, USA !!

Even more appropriate in 2022 than in 2018!

This aged so truthfully it's almost an oracle reading 😥

This is the greatest parody of all time. I had no desire to watch A Handmaid's Tale until I saw this and now I am actually hooked on that series. 🤪🍋🤪

Welp, here's commenting in June 2019... This sketch started a s a bleak bitter satire, made its way to sinisterly accurate prophecy, and will end up as documentary.

**traumatized laughing remembering all the shit that went down**

All their acting and I loved Cecily's voiceover

"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV" Yep, pretty much.

Anyone here from the timeline when Uncle Clarence and Co. undid 50 years of civil rights?

"Oh my God, this so could be me and my friends. You know, with the way things are going." The only part that made this skit funny. This kind of an existence is a ultra conservatives wet dream.

“This so could be me and my friends, with the way things are going “ Ha ha ha I’m scared

This aged like fine milk

Did Warren's previous handmaid break up with him on a Post-It?

Well, this aged like fine wine.

Amy Coney Barrett is typing...

This is a show that's really gonna make a living for Hulu

Me and my friends after Amy Coney Barret was elected like 👁👄👁

There are times when I feel like I should watch A Handmaiden's Tale, but then I remember the premise and it makes me too angry to see it through.

Watching this the day after Roe is overturned and I’m just saddened, frightened, enraged.

It’s the, “Under his…” “Ugh, don’t!” (Points to gouged out eyeball) hahahaha for me.

Fyi, Margaret Atwood is a Canadian multi prestigious award-winning author.

This hits different in 2021

Mimicking getting hanged was hilarious and such a piss take at the same time 😂

We laugh but it's Trump/Pence's eventual plan with their latest SCOTUS pick.

SCOTUS has turned this into a documentary...

Sounds like Provo Utah on any given day. 😂

I didn’t laugh once, this show is just too heavy.

"Under his eyyyyeeeeee..." 😂

watching this in 2022 hits different

Funny but scary with the recent SCOTUS decision.

It's sad that it fits more so after being telecast all those years ago....With the abortion laws

The World Clarence Thomas Wants! 🙄

How did that guy keep a straight face the whole time coz i sure could'nt😂😂😂

Had to watch this after the SC leaked draft ruling. One great big step closer to this becoming real life!

This should be a full series

"This could be me the way things are going" 😂 but also 😭😞

How did Margaret Atwood know that we are coming so close to this in life?

Hilarious! I was watching Sex In The City and thinking what more humour we had in those days! The Handmaid's Tale and The Hunger Games.....what depressing crap we endure now

SNL must have a new writers room, new casting director... The slow and steady come back is great

I've seen scenes from the real show and it's way too scary for me to see.

Gilead is about to begin in Louisiana. it’s scary

when an ad comes on before the actual video i always think it’s a skit and try to find what’s funny about it before i realize

"As i was getting tazed..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think it's time for another Handmaid's Tale parody in 2022...

This is horrible for me to say but I would watch this 😂 😂 😂 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

"Under his e-" "Uh, don't."

Wow... I got this recommendation after a acb sworn into scotus...

The handmaid skit is so good hope they made more of it

I keep going back to videos posted a couple years ago that are complaining about how shitty everything is and being like, “Doc! I have to tell you about the future!” 😭

That deserves an Emmy.

Mike Pence's America... just wait.

Yeah this is disturbing to watch nkw with us starting the wave of abortion bills. Today I saw somebody say all abortion should be banned to preserve life........were in some deep shit now..

my two fav shows- i feel blessed

This is just so well written (and performed).

Studying Handsmaid tale for English A-level... why have I ended up here 💀

Offered = Carrie Ofgary = Samantha Ofjohn = Charlotte Ofwarren = Miranda

I remember making a satirical drawing of sex in the Handmaid's Tale to just be a yoga stretch. I was hung up on it too

I don’t want to go all avatar, but is OfWarren’s scar on the wrong side?

"" Truth "" The only thing no one believes. Brutal

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl. HANDMAID'S TALE IN THE CITY. NEW EPISODES EVERY WEEK! 😆👍

this is sadly more relevant in 2019 than it was .............

How is this even more relevant 😅

Well this is a bit more scary after the last few weeks ...

"As long as we're fertile!"

I love Cecily’s voiceovers lol

"blessed be thy fruit" lmaoooo

More uplifting than the news lmao Game of Thrones deaths are also more uplifting than the News

If pence was in charge.

I loved it!!! I am a big fan of the serie and this is simply hilarius!!

Laughed till I cried.

WE ALL BE WATCHING THIS IN 2019.. #alabama 😊✌

It’s that new Manolo Bonnet 😂😂😂

This could be me and my friends, with the way things are going!

Blessed be my fruit 🤣😂🤣😂 "His last handmaid hung herself and he's still not over it"... So wrong but true

Something tells me this skit is about to get alot of backlash

This is the new Manohlo Bonnet lmfaoooooo

"If your not traumatized, your not watching TV" Well done SNL .....Well done.

This is very relevant now

welp "with the way things are going"

Parody is all fun and games until the shit slowly comes true. Go ahead and laugh now, but try to find time to vote next year, whether or not your favorite candidate gets the nomination.

This was about as funny as a funeral.

Well, how appropriate now.

"more uplifting than the news"
