The problem with these is it just seems like a re-enactment not a parody. Some of it is slightly amusing (Jost as Hegseth) but most is just meh

Yeah exactly. This is the issue. And it's not really SNL's fault I suppose because I don't think there really is anything they can do to make this funny. Satire requires embellishment and exaggeration. But you exaggerate any of this stuff and it becomes just genuine actual Nazi bullshit. There's no way to go further with it without going too far.

A skit with Bovino where every time the camera cuts back to him he's wearing more Nazi accessories.

Nathan Fielder did that with Paramount. They could take a couple tips from him.
