SNL: making America funny again one week at a time.

The Best SNL Sketches Of The Trump Administration
NBC

Arguably one of the best things about Donald Trump's presidency is the amazing material SNL writers get to work with every week. They have managed to cast amazing actors to take on the roles we hear about on the news every day, and write sketches that can sometimes hit too close to home. So, to celebrate the past couple years of amazing SNL moments, here are some of my favorite SNL sketches of this administration (in no particular order.)

1. Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer

The first time I saw this sketch, I laughed untill I couldn't breathe. Everything about Melissa McCarthy's performance was on point and the writing was absolutely brilliant.

2. Morning Joe

As someone who watches cable news all the dang time, this sketch was particularly hilarious to me. Also, the impersonations are scary-accurate.

3. Kanye West in the Oval Office

After the bizarre press conference between Kanye West and President Trump in the Oval Office, I knew SNL would be fervently taking notes for their upcoming episode. Sure enough, they did not disappoint.

4. Steve Bannon in the Oval Office

The way SNL decided to play Steve Bannon during this scene was hilarious, not to mention Alec Baldwin's signature Trump impersonation.

5. Kavanaugh Hearing Cold Open

One of the amazing casting choices for SNL was casting Matt Damon as Brett Kavanaugh. This cold open was hilarious and alarmingly similar to the real thing.

6. Robert Mueller and Michael Cohen

For any fans of the "Meet the Parents" movie, this sketch is definitely for you!

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
