This week Saturday Night Live stopped taking aim at the Trump administration and pointed their comedy chops in the direction of all Americans. From roasting the Trump supporters who won't back down even though things aren't quite going well for them to pointing out the folly of Facebook activists to a well-deserved nod at the now infamous Pepsi commerical — everyone was put on notice.
Alec Baldwin returned to play Donald Trump yet again and took on double duty also playing Bill O'Reilly interviewing Donald Trump in a pre-taped skit that got at the heart of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
The show's host always brings their own spin to the proceedings and Louis CK is no different. He brought his white male privilege to the stage, calling it out in overt ways that waffled between being effective and forcing everyone to heave a dramatic sigh. Basically classic Louis CK. That birthday clown thing, though...that was next level depressing.

Donald Trump At The Mines
The show came out of the gate swinging, and hitting, Kentucky coal miners as a stand-in for all Trump supporters who are getting more than they bargained for with President Trump, but still won't back down on supporting him.
Louis CK Cold Open
This opening monologue was...racist? But not because it was aware it was racist? Made fun of white privilege? But not because it insisted on maintaining white privilege? What's the word for infuriating, yet funny?
The O'Reilly Factor with Donald Trump
There were hardly any laugh in this sketch, because it was hardly funny. It was basically exactly what really happened between two known, white male sexual predators during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Pepsi Commercial
This sketch asks: what if someone tried to talk the person who thought up that Pepsi commerical out of their series of terrible ideas?
Thank You, Scott
Hey, have you been sharing a lot of articles on Facebook about how outraged you are about the state of the world but not doing much else about it? Then you too are Scott. Thank you, Scott.
Birthday Clown
I don't know what to tell you about this sketch, other than: prepare to be horrified.
Soda Shop
Ceciley Strong as Louise, nails role reversal in this weird '50s sketch.
