If you haven't watched an episode of Saturday Night Live this semester, then you may want to check out NBC's website so that you can get a little update. If you haven't seen SNL alum's Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin, then you are missing some comedy gold. Her highly satirized version of Palin is so hilarious because she uses actual quotes of Palin, and shows the American public how odd the things are that Palin says in debates, interviews, etc.
The most recent skit (image above), was a parody of the Vice Presidential debate, and Fey nailed all of Palin's little quirks, mannerisms, and pronunciation perfectly. The first line by Fey, "Can I call you Joe? Because I've practiced a couple of zingers where I call you Joe," sets the tone for the rest of the skit.
Instead of answering the questions directly in the skit, she avoided them similarly to the way Palin would, but more outright. The moderator would ask for her rebuttal, by saying, "Would you like to respond?" and Palin would respond by saying, "No Thanks."
I'm sure that every episode this season will feature some skit about Palin, and if McCain is elected, I'm sure that she will be parodied for years to come.....almost makes me wish I was republican.
