These parodies have no teeth. They don’t bite, they lick.

Upd: thank you for my first reward! Wish it were for a more positive comment. But still got excited.

Their skits just normalize the insanity. Brutal

Should be something like sardonic satire, reductio ad absurdum:

Drive Through Pardon Store: the orange loser opens a fast food drive thru where customers order pardons and receive them at the window.

The Deportation Game Show: Some sort of ICE deportation game, like an upbeat Price is Right show w/ music and applause. Steven Miller has turned his cruelty into entertainment

They might steal this, but I think you want that.

I feel like the above ideas are on the right track? I welcome any critiques etc ofc

Barely anyone talks about SNL. Your skits should reflect the insanity and absurdity

Like a deportation game show. Meet the moment, and it'll generate mass attention and conversation

Or Deportation Gladiatorial Combat. Have Steve Miller be the guy who looks up at Emperor Trump and awaits the thumbs up/down before either chasing down the gladiator or giving them citizenship. There could be a side scene where Hegseth whispers into Trump's ear "We've taken Greenland, my lord." Instead of eating grapes and fruit, he could be eating Big Macs.

Then again, the Trumpticopters might actually want something like that.
