celeb news Britney’s manager drags SNL

[Tistotal]

I did not know Cade was her manager. Since when her friend is her manager omg

[James_Dean]

Aside from being stupid, all the Britney skits on SNL are simply redundant and dated af

[stoopidjenna]

I liked the skit and thought it was pretty respectful... It was really just a vehicle for the cast to do celebrity impressions. They weren’t taking a dig at Britney or the book at all.

 

And it’s kind of rude of him to target Chloe specifically. She’s just a cast member.

idk why this person is so mad about the skit

Maybe because after a rejected initial approach, they went along with a painfully unfunny skit about the very personal and vulnerable book Britney wrote, including fake and defamatory quotes such as “I was addicted to drugs!”.

That's not about Britney...it's John Mulaney going off script and talking about himself like he's doing his act (he just got out of rehab for drug addiction). 

[Proseductice]

For those confused, it's the fact that they even decided it was something worth being the vehicle for their light hearted celebrity impressions skit. Use anything else but a book about a woman's life long trauma. Reading excerpts of it with over the top impressions by their cast comes off as insensitive to the material. Given the other tasteless jokes they made last night, it shouldn't be very surprising. 

 

They've been making jokes of Britney for decades as well, this obviously isn't the first time. Given the context from Cade that they've been trying to have her on the show when they've made tasteless jokes about her for so long is so eye-roll worthy.

Seems I know as much about this John Mulaney person than SNL knows about making a good joke

[teresaguidice]

bizarre overreaction

[kataraqueen]

LMAOO I mean she's needed this energy for a long time. I don't think the skit was that bad, but I'm glad someone's sticking up for her publicly like this. SNL is lame anyway

Maybe because Chloe has been consistently doing this stupid Britney impression for years. The skits she did during the FreeBritney movement were repulsive and littered with ableist rhetoric. 

[Geraldine]

he seems lame as ****

 

and chloe is a great actress

[truthteller]

It’s offensive because of how unfunny most impersonations are instead.
 

They were not making fun of Britney nor her experience by any means.

The book is a genuine attempt at showing Britney's heart and trauma. Britney isn't laughing about her experiences in interviews, she's griefing every day on instagram through her captions. It's beyond tone deaf

 

Also they clearly do make fun of her with that Chloe impression be fr rn. Just because they made fun of her the least doesn't mean they didn't make fun of her.

 

 

To take a book that's about the shame the industry put on her and turn it into a shaming comedy skit is so stupid. When I first read Cade's reaction I actually thought he was overreacting a bit but the more I think about it the more dystopian and dumb this whole skit feels. Leave the woman alone ffs

The "who wrote this?" quip was pretty rude imo and the way they're taking random excerpts out of context to make her book sound superfluous could be received as hurtful by Britney. Especially because she's said many times that she didn't feel like she would be taken seriously if she spoke out and opted to suffer in silence for so long out of fear of that.

pretty respectful? 

 

THIS is respectful

 

 

in Britney's skit, they make fun of her mannerisms, inflections, looks and mixed fake quotes with real quotes seemlessly in a defamatory way

 

There were so many cooler skits they could have done. Present-day Britney writing her book, thinking back on the events and portraying those events in funny ways, with an emotional third backstory that finishes with a present day punchline is an obvious choice, that wouldn't have had to resort to making fun of her systematically induced anxiety

[HASHTAGPOW]

I see DMF is now writing for SNL

 

[Vroom Vroom]

It was literally free book promo.
Was it unfunny? Of course. Was it offensive? No

when is something offensive then? Lmao. Making fun of someone's human trafficking induced anxiety seems pretty weird to me.

[Anti-Hero]

The skit was really bad and snl is indeed getting really bad (or maybe they always were and people are just now realizing), but I don't understand why respond to it, it didn't warrant it.

Because of the way the show is made there’s always going to be bad stuff in every episode, it’s just now instead of the bad stuff being lost to time it’s skulled dragged online. There’s been folks says it’s terrible ever all of the OGs left by 79 and every present tense it’s always dragged but the nostalgia googles sink in to only remember to the good stuff. During the entire 2010s the show was dragged are being terrible and it was good as the Fey-Poehler-Rudolph-Wiig era of the 2000s. Now you have folks missing the McKinnon-Strong-Bryant dynamic of the 2010s (the "Christmas Candle"sketch goes viral a few times on TikTok every November-December since 2020).

 

I am dead sure by 2030 the general consensus will be how good this current Bowen-Ego-Marcello era was because all of the bad will be lost to time and Iceberg album, Lisa from Tumecula etc will be all that’s remembered of this era.

Which part of the skit did they make fun of that? I’m starting to think you didn’t even watch it, but somehow you have an opinion about it. I love the internet 

[Cap87]

We don't care about Cade Hudson desperate need for attention.
