(the set-up) Saturday Night Live is known for its political satire, and has played a much lauded role in weekly criticism of the Trump administration. The obviously liberal and progressive point of view of the show is well known, and is as much the reason for the show's success as its humor.

The recent spot on, and hilarious, impersonations of Trump, Sessions and Spicer stole the show, and served to bring many more viewers to SNL.

(the meaning?) I have noticed another popular theme on SNL lately, which is not getting the same recognition- P1zzagate!! The following are links to some of the skits and examples of PG related references:

Jan 2017: Almost Pizza- a woman tries to trick a man into 'eating pizza' that 'isn't really pizza' https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIBR-AFcnLE

Feb 28, 2017: PIZZA TOWN, speaks for itself!! "if you find that snitch kill him!" pizza parlor, kids theme, organized crime, cop more interested in 'pizza' than arresting the criminal. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d6QlnO7iT7E

March 12, 2017: Zoo Pornographer- news skit where a zoo photographer is mistakenly labeled 'pornographer' ... the supposedly innuendo filled conversation sounds more like a how-to of molestation! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LS7YO6C-7NI

April 8 2017: Birthday Party Clown: themes of children's parties, alcohol, white males, disney character, and dismemberment. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X-XuT5qKt00

Soda Shop: Bizarre depiction of inappropriate sexual advances by white male ice cream man, ice cream 'shop' setting/children's 'restuarant', refers to grooming behavior happening in front of others. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6wqtti7EeE

Louis CK monologue: themes of white privilege and power. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lsa7N7LHJk

Louis CK is known for referring to child abuse and pedophilia in his monologues, in a previous SNL monologue in 2015 he discussed child molesters "in the 70s" and compares abusing children to eating candy. refers to fictional molester as 'jean baptiste' with a european accent. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzh7RtIJKZk

May 20, 2017: Most Evil Invention- ends with 'child molesting robot' invention. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NgUhEs1R4

(discuss) Feel free to provide more links to examples....

Do we have sympathizers on the snl staff? Could someone close to snl writers have government or police connections or insider knowledge?

Normalization of pedophilia could be argued here, but not buying it due to the disturbing nature of many of the skits.

Points to the nature of the issue going beyond anything related to political parties. Debunks the theory that pizzagate is 100% tied to hillary clinton. this show is decidedly pro Hillary, and instead of ignoring or ridiculing PG research, it seems to be begging viewers to have conversations about pedophilia... it's actually normalizing the idea that it DOES exist and that white men in power are complicit.

i found these skits more than a coincidence, happening regularly throughout 2017. Interested in what you all think--
