SNL: How To Silence Your Right-Wing Relatives At Thanksgiving

Posted by | November 22, 2015 10:11 | Filed under: Politics


Here’s what has to happen when contentious relatives say crazy things at Thanksgiving dinner, thanks to Saturday Night Live.

Called “A Thanksgiving Miracle,” the sketch parodies a holiday dinner gone wrong when one family member says, “I’m thankful our governor is keeping those refugees out,” which sets off a series of uninformed and ultimately racist comments.

“I saw an ISIS today in the A&P, when I was picking up the yams,” one woman states as her niece rolls her eyes and explains, “No you didn’t, Aunt Cathy. That was an Asian woman.”

From there it goes downhill with family bickering as Aunt Cathy asks the only black member of the dinner party, “Why is it that your ‘friends’ keep antagonizing the police?”

Having had enough, a little girl gets up from the table and goes to a boombox and introduces the one thing in the world that can bring everyone together: Adele singing “Hello.”

    my suggestion….holiday dinners suck when you are on opposite political poles (as in north south) so why not offer to serve dinner at your local community kitchen or have some orphans over for dinner…so you have something to be thank-ful for…just don’t invite the native americans….

    Personally, I think crazy right wing uncles should spend thanksgiving with their own kind.

      They didn’t eat turkey however. Eel deer, and geese were supposedly on the menu.
