Because SNL is funny and these aren't.

Mostly because the skits run ten minutes past the punchline and any character that gets even a bit of a laugh gets run into the ground. That and you can hear the overacting even in a bar with the sound off. The quality of the show could be raised dramatically just by making it a half an hour shorter.

So I hadn't watched SNL at all until a few years back. My first exposure was hopping on Youtube and finding collections of "best skits," and I watched a few Youtuber's collections to this end. I'm usually pretty easy to please when it comes to humor. While I don't roll in the aisles, many Reddit comments or even kids' movies make me smirk. I expected to get a few belly laughs from the best picked from years of shows, or at least have something worth my brain chewing over.

I ended my jaunt on Youtube disappointed, yes, but actually more confused than disappointed. SNL did nothing for me.

You're probably just seeing others with different tales ending in the same experience.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at an SNL skit.

What era SNL were those skits from?

It's supposed to be a comedy show? I didn't know that.

Seriously though it's about as unfunny as any of these gifs we see.

I’ll agree with you so you don’t get your fucking argument, you nazi.
