Did you see that immediately after Woody Harrelson had that monologue on SNL where he's joking around about a drug company forcing you to take their drug, right after it, the next day, there's all these hit pieces.

Like there's a hit piece in Fox, there's a hit piece in Vanity Fair, there's a hit piece calling him an anti-vaxxer and a stoner and sucked on Cheers conspiracy theories he's pushing conspiracy theories no he's no no no no That's always doing he's a joke monologue on SNL about something that makes people laugh Because you can kind of make a weird comparison to those 2.

That's the only Reason why the joke works yeah, the only reason why it works is because people are thinking it like so for you guys to come Out and say like Oh Conspiracy fears doesn't know it's jokes about a possible conspiracy theory And the 1 that he's describing isn't having it's not even a real 1.

He's making a joke about what the real 1 was like Maybe not the best joke.

but the fact that that got this immediate response where all these people defend the pharmaceutical companies.

They're all jumping in and defending them.

Like in unison, they're all anti-vaxxer, stoner.

You know, instead of saying it sucked, or instead of saying, hey, stick to acting, instead of, you know, no, it's like, they all wanted to jump in to defend the vaccine.

They all wanted to jump in to defend the vaccine.

They all wanted to jump in and defend the pharmaceutical companies from this anti-vaxxer, stoner actor who's talking.

It's just interesting that they all take that route.

I get criticized in the monologue, but all taking that route, that it's an anti-vax conspiracy theory.

No, he's joking about a way things went down.

Like, there's a lot to what he's saying like forcing you to take their drug like that kind that kind of was happening And if you weren't getting forced you were certainly getting coerced you're getting urged on by the government

There was probably a commercial for a medicine right after that.

Yeah, Probably right away right away It's not like they're not spending money on all this stuff like like why are we pretending?

And so when he makes that joke and he talks about them buying all the media and then all the media responds as if they've been bought and paid for.

There's so many articles written about him like right away.

I always look at both sides and CNN had it but also CNN is owned by the same company that owns SNL So it's tricky because they don't want to make them look bad But they you know Angled it like it was him Yeah, even though what we know is that these scripts are approved days in advance

Yeah, they had to prove that unless he went out and Dave Chappelle did Yeah, he he didn't Dave Dave had 2 different monologues Party Dave ran 1 monologue by everybody and killed and they're like this is great then he goes out front does a whole separate 1 0 god bless him god bless him if Woody Harrelson did that god bless him but you know look The fact that everybody jumped in like that was just very interesting.
