Ages ago (OK, maybe 15 or so years) they did a silly joke on WU about David Lee Roth becoming a New York EMT. The joke included an image of Roth jumping from the back of an ambulance. It was simply a picture of DLR from a Van Halen video PhotoShopped into a picture of an ambulance. That quick Photoshop job made me laugh so hard and even now, all these years later, I crack up when I think of it.
And that's just one example of a goofy WU image making the joke way funnier than what was written. Shame on SNL for taking the easy way out.
I'm not going to do this because I like the environment, but I guarantee if you have an image generator the prompt of David Lee Roth jumping out of the back of an ambulance, it wouldn't be nearly as good.
And even if it had presented EXACTLY this image and this image didn't already exist, it STILL wouldn't be as good because part of what's funny about the original image is the fact that a person thought to put that image together.
