Sometimes Saturday Night Live can perfectly capture the behaviors of real people out in the world. This is not one of those times.
This past Saturday, SNL aired a painfully stereotypical sketch about three D&D playing nerds that feels straight out of a bygone era of nerd-culture.
Employee of the Month is an honor worth fighting for. βοΈ https://t.co/lIHMXh2Xilβ Saturday Night Live - SNL (@Saturday Night Live - SNL)1554665400.0

Next time, before SNL writes a character sketch, they'd better make sure their take is a fresh one.
