Is SNL marginally funnier because I’m from NY?
I was watching last night’s SNL this afternoon, and I wondered - Is Saturday NIght Live marginally funnier because I’m from NY?
There’s a lot of NY, or East Coast references in every episode. Last night, a character’s speech was compared to “Channel 13″ - the famed mega-PBS channel in the NY metro area. In another sketch, someone quipped that it was ‘time to make the donuts‘. - a reference to the long standing and memorable Dunkin Donuts commercial. Other times, they’ve had random things like Leonard’s of Great Neck. And I wonder how many people in this country actually know what a bar mitzvah is, since that tends to show up a lot too.
SNL isn’t funny all the time, but I would guess that its even less funnier to many outside of NY.
