The Anomalous Man - SNL

I feel like this is a semi-biographical sketch about every SNL writer that’s gone on to marry a famous movie star

i'm guessing Sarah Sherman watched The Elephant Man recently...

I don’t know what’s more concerning, the fact this has been created or the comments on here! Disgusting 🤢 Using facial differences or disability as the focus of the joke. Being derogatory towards sexual interests or actions. Come on! This is beyond shameful.

This was rather sad to watch.

dua’s acting skills are PHENOMENAL!! “THATS WHAT HE SAYS TO EVERYONE!!!”

I’m here because a man with a facial difference spoke about this sketch on tik tok and how devastated it made him someone like him was still the butt of a joke in 2024. Please do better SNL.

The camera work is incredible! Dua does a great job.

'Ride your face until it looks normal'.... 'wrong number perhaps'... My goodness, this was too funny!

This is dating in 2024

A bit fucked up they’re literally mocking people that have facial differences..?

The voices in this sketch are like warm butter on a crumpet. Both Dua and James sound superb

It is hard to convey how offensive this sketch is to disfigured people (1% of the world's population). Disfigured people are often portrayed in the media as being evil, pathetic or unlovable. These portrayals do profound damage to a community which already contends with stigma, harassment, bullying and hate crimes. In this recent sketch, the Anomalous Man is seen as 1) isolated, unloved, with horrific self-esteem, 2) the woman who loves him is seen as heroic for doing so. 3) His appearance is relentlessly mocked 4) The fact that he is sexually active is the big joke. I know SNL can do better. SNL is a vaunted show, gracing our country with many laughs over the decades. But this sketch did not do SNL credit. We need to educate people about prejudice toward disfigured people, and the media's role in perpetuating this stigma. To learn more, please watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD9KhXQOED8

"I'm tryna show you what this snout do" 😂🐽

This is very surreal. Strange vibe from this sketch.

The production value of this skit is next level! 😆🙌🏼

Despite learning multiple times Dua Lipa has an English accent, it always surprises me when I hear her talk.

I have a jaw deformity and facial paralysis. I’ve been shunned by many individuals throughout my life. Watching this made me feel sick

Struggling to find the comedy.

is it just me or is the punchline being that a person with a visible disability is a bad person and also somehow inexplicably able to find love weird as hell??? like maybe it’s not that deep but do we really want to be putting more media making disabled people the butt of the joke??

it’s not a nice thing to do- completely disregards equality within the sphere of disability. We are praising ableism because it’s ‘entertaining’ for us. Check out the it handle faceequalityint for more info this is disgusting Even if it was intended to be a parody of the elephant man(great movie), it could have been done with a lot more grace and respect. This is the wrong culture that is circulating in the media. Please remember that we choose what we believe, don’t be fooled by sketches or celebrated individuals that are glamorised on television- they are blatantly mocking a visible disability. I apologise to those who are affected Wake up people,wake up
