VP Debate: Sarah Palin and Joe Biden - SNL 

So true! 😂😂

LOL!

Hahahaha! Love that.

Dang, I thought it was a SNL skit. Just goes to show ya, even I can be wrong and that is wild.....

Epic comment!

It had the added benefit of infuriating the real Palin!

What does this joke mean. I am not American

@@IshaSingh-zu2wh She had actively campaigned on a "Christian Morals" platform, like so many in her party. They staunchly opposed gay marriage on the grounds it denigrated the "sacred institution of traditional marriage". But during this campaign, her teenage daughter got pregnant and they had pressured her daughter and boyfriend to get married so that it would look better from a public relations standpoint. In other words, she was pushing two unwilling teenagers to get married. The best part is: After all that, her daughter divorced him and then got pregnant again with another boyfriend. Also, the daughter was on an paid tour to preach sexual abstinence to teenagers. And....Sarah Palin herself got divorced. This family was an absolute circus.

Amen

Maybe not called out so artfully in most cases, but if you look around without the aid of SNL.... the hypocrisy is surrounding us. Hopefully we don't rely on SNL to see that!

You are correct. Sad, isn't it? Seems most people would be expecting Fey's quotes instead of Palin's, because they're ridiculous, and certainly way funnier.

@@1SqueakyWheel - They would. Back in 2008, some people would have bet their lives that the things Fey said were Palin's words. At the time such willful ignorance seemed like scary misinformation. Now it's a typical Thursday.

@@calmbbaer oh yeah, I remember it pretty well. And you're right.... The absurd rhetoric people willingly buy and chant now is off the charts compared to even then. :-(

Sarah v Tina v Lisa in a Palin-off.

By that time I’d be lying drunk passed out under the coffee table .

Yeah, Wallace is a total nut,man.

@@user-me1tk9yx2l still better than the guy who asked white supremecists to 'stand by'

@@user-me1tk9yx2l as opposed to the guy who caused to hundred thousand deaths and is literally threatening democracy?

jj abou The debate sucked in a multitude of ways, however I don’t think that’s a fair statement about Biden given the debate.

@Dez Osbourne I'm not saying that anyone can 'fix' racism. But why is it so hard for the president to say 'i condemn white supremacy' on the debate stage. Why can't he look into the camera and say 'white supremacy, the KKK and neo nazis are not welcome in the USA'? Also, the fact that Biden knew who the proud boys were but the actual president didn't (or so he says) is concerning.

'sacred'.

sacrement

Excrement

Can someone explain me that? xD I mean: I understand it, but is it a parody of something she said?

@@julianosvonskingrad7009 Around the time of the 2008 election, Palin's daughter got pregnant and then married, and it might be that the wedding was forced on them by the campaign/palin because they couldn't abort the pregnancy or, alternatively, have an illegitimate child without this possibly costing the McCain/Palin ticket votes. that's the gist of it.

Yer darn tootin!

I dunno, Sarah Palin seems to be her own cliche.

LOL

Lol

Well said!

Agree!

You mean Demented Joe? Yes he is the dumbest thing on Planet Earth...

@E Fox Appreciate your insight. I sensed the imminent threat but now that you've pointed out the trail of wreckage disguised by its very inanity, its obvious that no, we didn't get here overnight. I'm afraid we are actually past the tipping point. Barr trotted out the trope that history is written by the winners. He's already got galley proofs of the first few chapters.

@E Fox good lord you are such a delusional left wing freak-show. You actually think it's Republicans who are destroying this country right now. Have you been living under a rock. Maybe you work for CNN, NBC, or you are one of the BLM type Antifa tards who are actually destroying our country right now and your but hurt so you decided to rant.

@E Fox thanks. I wasn't aware of who said it but I didn't like it because of it's blatantly corrupt cynicism.

She is a true actor. Everything she does is natural and smooth. Even her little smile after Fey speaks works perfectly for this skit

She is total class in this skit. Brilliant foil to the ‘candidates’ 👍🤣

100 %

That was Queen Latifah? 😮 I didn’t even recognize her

Harry yeah...bc now we’d all take her in a second

Harr

Please, do explain how much Trump has hurt you/your standard of living since going into office. Give a legitimate argument, not a B.S. sob story

Calum graham

Remember when she was asked about what newspapers she reads. ANY halfway intelligent and knowledgeable person could have invented a good answer: Name 1 or 2 of the major papers in Alaska. And she could throw out a few big names. (WaPo, New York Times, FP Foreign Policy, the Economist ...and on the Conservative side The American Spectator, National Review, The Christian Science Monitor). 3 out of that pool would have made her look good. While saying she wish she had more time for reading and that her staff gets her informed and points out interesting article to her. but then of course she would have needed to EVER read a tiny bit to even be aware of these names. And it would not hurt to have read an article in the recent past - just in case you are asked. The folksy blabbering carries only that far - it is hard to conceal stupidity and complete ignorance when pressed. That is the reason Trump uses certain vague phrases: No one can contradict him on: "We will see." or "I do not show what we have up our sleeves." or "It is easy to win a trade war" - (the latter would require a whole lecture, that can be contradicted, but it is not a single fact that is true or false). Or: it will be tremendous. It will be great. Sure reporters can press him WHAT will be great and how are they going to achieve it precisely. (The crowds are eating it up, no questions asked). "you will get better and cheaper healthcare. It will be much, much better than Obamacare" - Now: If Sanders says that - one knows that he worked behind the scenes and for decases on that issue - the pesky details. There is not time in the speech - and the voters do not care about the details anyway. Trump on the other hand makes such upbeat statements in a state of blissful and complete ignorance. So naturally later Trump said: "Who know that healthcare is so complicated." lol

Yet... just the other day I watched a man debate a woman, and the "jokes" in this skit suddenly became reality when Kamala was utterly dismantled and destroyed in the debate. Suddenly, it became sexist when a VP tore apart the lies of a candidate VP, it was "mansplaining" and sexist on the man's part. My oh my how the left have suddenly lost any trace of humor.

Nuts no doubt right!? haha

@@wernerziegler6709 idk wtf you watched but it wasnt the same thing as I did. I saw a creepy guy who calls his wife mother lie for 90mins and there was a fly.

Indeed

@@STNJ_YT I watched Kamala's talking points get dismantled one by one. The only reason ANYONE talked about the fly, is because it was a way to distract from the fact that Harris lost that debate. If she had a decisive "win" in the debate, people would be talking about her wins. It's like when your favorite sports team gets blown out in the championship and the only way to cope is to talk about that hilarious moment at one point during the ugly loss.

Seth Meyers - although I believe Jim Downey wrote a lot of the Biden stuff.

And it’s aged like ironic wine 👌

Holy shit I didn't realize it _wasn't_ Palin until you said this. The only thing that threw me off was the voice, and I assumed Palin was doing an exaggerated accent.

Queen Latifah is BRILLIANT as Gwen Eiffel.

Alec Baldwin is a good at portraying evil characters in movies ( since in him dwells so much anger and resentment plainly exhibited by anger filled, profanity laden diatribes at his daughter, Kim Basinger and a violent confrontation he creates with reporters) but is replete with hatred towards Trump, which easily shows in his vindictive, venom filled horribly uncharacteristic portrayal...it may appear funny to some but it does not reflect Trump's personal or professional conduct.....Tina Fay fails to mimic Sarah Palin on numerous levels...she is not nearly as attractive as Sarah...her presentation of Palin as an airhead (as written by the very far leaning writers at the time) is the democrats fantasy and a utter reflection of the terrible fear they had of her being a sweeping conservative voice to drive the Republican voters who were disaffected ( by MCcain's lackluster performance against Obama's political and personal attacks) to the polls in overwhelming numbers to clinch the presidency...

@E Foxru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ArUGafcVlI.html

Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton is my favorite.

I've seen at least 2 better impersonators of Trump* than Alec Baldwin, who as far as I can see does nothing more than jut his bottom lip out, all the time. He doesn't even sound like Trump*, imo. Watch J-L Cauvin or John Di Domenico both on RU-vid, both great.

JD Zeeb Jim Carrey now as Joe Biden

That's Queen Latifah, pretending to be Gwenn Ifill.

@@premanadi Point still stands

Agreed. She was a great journalist.

Me too! Comedy gold!!

I came here specifically to comment on The Queen's facial expressions throughout this skit. While the skit is funny enough, her facial expressions make it so much more. Way to Kill It Sista Queen.

Still just as true of a concept with ol Joe in this upcoming GOP vs GOP lite election

the two are not mutually exclusive.

XD

I could watch her as Palin for a whole hour.

She did

She always says (self deprecatingly) that she won the Mark Twain Prize for playing Palin. Absolutely brilliant.

Agreed

100%

Yup - just re-watched it for the nth time !

No lies my friend...

Screamed at film crew on wt foxtrot. Oh well.

@@steveconn no

The maverick drinking game joke almost made me like the real Palin because Tina Fey was so damn cute and charismatic when she said it.

Have a few of those myself. Or did over the years LMAO

+axelle32 Tina Fey and Kristin Wiig are always at their best.

+axelle32 If this didn't kill us @ the elections... I'd be damned. Its a shame that we can't find ONE worthy candidate for the GOP. We kept limiting everyone who came our way and look where it left us . CARIBOU BARBIE. Next time we should actually start looking under the north pole. Maybe a polar bear can do the job better. I'm so dangerously close to laughing @ this : but Tina Fey was on point. We can't even copy this show on Fox and get actors to ape the Democrats and the Independents. We sure are making GOP stalwarts of old turn in their graves.

+Heywood Yabloome Oh the irony! :)

yeah

axelle32 a little slow dere matey yarg

Biden 2020

in the beginning of the debate Biden said "Will you please be quiet donald?" being respectful, but after an hour of debating trump i can see why he would snap, but yeah someone had to tell him

It is way different with Trump

Remember when this was the craziest person Biden ever debated?

Joe lost his patience, but he won the presidency so I think it was a fair trade.

Hysterical. "That was the Hustle".. LOL

😂😂😂👍👍👍

Honestly I'd love to see presidential debates include a talent portion. Would've weeded Trump out early lol

I'm more upset they removed the swimsuit portion😉

Mogens Linnet biden in a swimsuit, I think if have to pass

Baldwin has a good Trump impersonation

E Fox Yeah, Palin believed the crap she was saying, and Fey didn’t. That makes her WAAAAAAY better.

Its because Tina Fey is the only one that actually said she could see Russia from her house.

Jaime Avakarian Villamonte Not true.

@@RobJazzful LOL. The President of the United States is represented perfectly on SNL.

Wait that's not the real Sarah Palin?

@@kerbonautics5217 the way she talks man 😭🤣😭

Yeah, I prefer the Tina version

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌

Fox has put up Tina Feys picture incorrectly as Palin literally like 50 times

How times have changed! When we thought this was as bad as it could get! What innocence!

Remember, this was a very close representation of the actual debate.

when I watch this skit, all I see is the future coming. we should have seen the signs. they were glaring

Indeed. And, for whatever reason, I had forgotten how funny Sedeikus is. He had me rollin'. Tina's great as usual. And Queen Latifa's expressions towards 'Palin' were priceless. Great skit!

This “innocent time” directly led to where we’re at now

Tina Fey is great here, but you should see Julianne Moore in the movie "Game change" acting Sarah Palin, now that is a fascinating piece of art.

modarXmodar Watched it just now, I think Moore's Palin is better but she's an actor after all while Fey is in comedy. I thought it was funny in the film that they included scenes of Palin (played by Moore) watching herself on TV (played by Fey), so you could compare their impressions right there - that's when I thought "Moore is better."

Lysimachus Yes that was funny. the movie in general gives you mixed feelings, sympathy and humor. I never thought a movie about someone like Sarah Palin would be that interesting!!!

... who "buy" votes, Kenneth. And it is "faggot", not "fagot". You have to make a little effort. D-.

Bernie and Larry David!

Don't forget Dana Carvey as George Bush Sr. that bar was set too... Tina Fey is a notch above him though...

lovelywaz political adjacent- Laura Benanti as Melania Trump on the Late Show

Baldwin's Trump is moronic

Dana Carvey "Not gunna do it"

@@kidkique But then so is the real thing...

Yes indeed!

Actually politics continue to be a joke, figuratively speaking.

they were always frightening, maybe it just didn’t effect you so you had the privilege to not be scared

What poor collective memories we have. Every election I recall had people freaking out and talking about how unprecedented this one is and how x candidate is the worst of all time. I honestly think the W Bush hate was heavier than the Trump hate and now a decade + later people on both sides are saying how genuine and kind he was.

Sarah Huycke behavior. 😐

yeah she reacted perfectly :D

Holy shit, she was awesome, with those expressions, esp that face of disbelief, when Fey brings out the flute. Lmao!!

she is such an underrated actress; and she doesnt ever age

She’s yucky 😒

she WAS

That's who that is?

what's her real name?

Latifah was playing Gwen Ifill.

Epic side eye.

Queen Latifah is really hot ! And very intelligent.

joelious junk Hillarious!!! 😅😅😅

I started using that line after seeing that skit, and I still do. So many gems in this skit.

Can't wait for Joe 'FAT' Biden not being afraid to get all malarkey in there now either...!

True. And most of them live in his own mind

Then: "i CaN sEe RuSsIa FrOm mY hOuSe!" Now: "YOU JUST LOST THE LEFT YOU JUST LOST THE RADICAL LEFT BLAH BLAH BLAH INTERRUPT INTERRUPT INTERRUPT"

I know man,himself!!!

Maverick?

@@louistournas120 My laptop's name is Maverick.

aw...don't go!

She actually has a 30-year tight friendship with a gay woman, though. So they did her dirty here, painting her as a gay-phobe when she isn't. Just watch the katie couric interview.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agreed! That was great! Now if only Jason Sudeikis would have acted like the drunken sot Biden is and groped some 11 year old girl in front of the World, this skit would have been 110% correct!!

LOL! *tears!* lmao

yeah

TheHotCoffeeHouse what???? Word salad

TheHotCoffeeHouse word salad????

You watched the first debate. I didn't. I know you wish you could have my mind xD

@@anna8328 and and I'll

The Democrat excuses are becoming weaker and weaker.

I wonder if she supports the Second Amendment though that's where many of these comedy geniuses crash on the rocks.

@@tiradoentertainmentllc.2517 - No one needs to know how any comedian stands on the second amendment (i.e., gun control). It is completely irrelevant to what they do for a living.

*over

It always is.

This might be too damn deep if it replaces a family member or gainful opportunities.

Tina Feys is too smart and sexy compared with Sarah Palin who makes idiots seem intelligent by comparison.

You betcha! That maverick 😉 Frank Caliendo always did Mad TV.

She got the look, and the vocal intonations down wonderfully. The writing was horribly off, but it had a target audience to please, and it was still pretty funny... so that can be forgiven. It also helps that Tina is naturally sexy enough to pull it off too, so there's that.

you should see Lisa Ann's she crushes it

Sadly,the upcoming Trump Biden debates will be ghastly more comic than any snl pparody

I took me out laughing hysterically in tears 🤣

The flute killed me!

Hey at least she’s funny

I'm sure Alaska can't live you down...you fucking idiot...

Not should you. Her braindead idiocy helped to bring us Trump.

Ah cheer up TD, we're all Americans! 🇺🇸Maverick 🍺!!!

Pat Houseworth Jesus, calm down.

me. too.

We had no idea what was coming back then.

Me too

Simpler times. If only we knew the hell that was ahead...

Oh man, me too.

I have my eyes open and I'm still not sure.

yes, she looks and sounds the same, its an amazing performance

Antred11. ...very funny

DFey wouldn't have put up with the B.S.hiscampaign staff loaded onto Palin!

Sarah would have been better as president than John McCain. He was the embarrassing part of the vote.

Lissie Different time man. We didn't know. We didn't know.

It's in their nature, they need to outdo themselves constantly

ha ha we never judge them!! ha ha

Christopher Snow ,2a

Pity they couldn't sneak the "all of them" reference in there somehow.

Christopher Snow read right after said

Lllooooolllllll so true

I watched the impeachment hearinfs and even my low expectations were too high. Both sides were a hot mess. It was really disappointing to see people ignore any actual words and just parrot their prepared speeches. I wanted to see discourse.

@callmecatalyst The sad part is that people who seem to know what they are doing often don't really know.

@callmecatalyst LOL, the real truth is, there are many people out there who have to know what they are doing, or things would really fall apart!

Me too.lol!!! Boy were we wrong 😂
