Twin Bed-SNL

For Christmas of 2013, the Saturday Night Live girls performed a song about returning home for the holidays with boyfriends in tow and the problems of adult pleasures in the rooms of their childhood. Obviously if they weren't booted you wouldn't be reading about it here.
The original, full version comes from my friend Dr Morgus.  As an experiment I trimmed it down to a boots only version. I'm not thrilled with the results. The software I used  did a clumsy job of creating new key-frames  in smart-copy mode. But I've moved beyond the point where I trash an entire project because one aspect didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped.

The Complete Version


Feel free to ignore the part below here. It's something I had to get off my chest. I promise I won't do it often. It seemed more relevant Monday. I'd love to delete it, but I spent too much time on it, seriously, don't read it.
I pulled this clip out of the archive so I could make an observation. If you follow the televised rantings of outrage merchants you know why. Freedom of speech is not absolute, but satirical speech comes close(see Hustler Magazine v Falwell). SNL has featured Garrett Morris singing, "I'm gonna get me a shot-gun and kill all the whities I see." An entire series of skits (Canteen Boy) revolved around a scoutmaster's attempts to molest a boy who was presumably developmentally disabled.  The end of every Toonce's The Driving Cat skit ended with groups of people plummeting to their fiery death.
Good humor can be (maybe should be) edgy and offensive. If you're offended you're free to turn off the channel and write angry letters. Organize a boycott if you like. These are all perfectly legitimate, time-tested options.  Lots of things offend me (2 and A Half Men for starters) but I respond by NOT WATCHING. I don't expect TV coverage of "Humor snob offended by banal comedy."
My beef is with "news" organizations and professional clucking hens who report a handful of tweets from the humorless as though it were important or newsworthy.  "People offended by comedy skit," isn't news. At best it's just a busy night at NBC's switchboard. I cannot imagine that anyone in a producer role would believe that reporting on outraged tweets from a tiny portion Americans was good journalism. The notion of "the editorial function" has gone out of style, but it is clearly impossible to report on everything that happens in the world. The job of deciding what fills the page/newscast falls to the editor/producer.  It is elitist, but it's also as necessary as the system of valves and pipes that keeps the city water supply from flooding your house when you turn on the tap. It seems to me that anyone who allows 15 minutes of television devoted to "People offended by comedy skit" is either too stupid or cynical for their job.
BTW-I'm equally bothered by "Groups demand greater diversity on Saturday Night Live."  Lorne Michaels can hire whoever the fu@k he wants. That's also what freedom is.

Again, sorry about that, I'll get back to boots now.
