With SNL and MAD TV dying who do we have to turn to? It is a dawning of a new age. A passing of power. All that jazz. Thankfully there are people like the "Lonely Island" and "Whitest Kids U Know" to pick up and refresh the sketch comedy. After Chappelle's Show passed on I was quite sad to see the absence of new talent, but thank god these guys showed up. While the "Lonely Island" Dudes tend to focus more on the ridiculous ideas, the "WKUK" seem bring satire to a new level in this age. I can't really describe the awesomeness that is the "WKUK" so watch some of their sketches below. I'm sure at least one will give you a good laugh

You could definitely have gone further with this (it was a bit short). Why do you need sketch comedy? What role do programs like SNL play in our society? For example, you might have discussed the 2008 campaign seemed to revitalize SNL. You could also have 'analyzed' at least one of the videos you posted to show what point they're making, because as we discussed in class, satire goes further than just laughs.
