I ASSURE you that SNL skits have wider appeal than Monty Python, which really just appeals to a specific subset.

As a non american SNL is 99.9% asinine crap and pales in comparison to Monty Python even after all this time. May be that's why it has a wider appeal but the formulaic lack of humor and fear of actually punching up comes down to the bitter old man in charge.

Maybe to Americans? Not for the ROW

Was going to share this on Teams to joke about the outage…then the third act come and that it’s definitely nsfw.

One show is produced with edits and retakes if someone flubs a line or breaks, the other is live. Also consider, SNL puts out more content in a single season with 22 episodes at 90 minutes, then all of Monty Python's full run of 45 episodes at 30 minutes. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Sometimes you look at an orange, and think how convenient it'd be if you could bite it like an apple. Okay, many don't, but few who do came up with all the modern fruits :)
