SNL cracked for a Try Guys sketch on the Ned Fulmer fraud scandal

Saturday Night Live has a reaction to parody of the movie Try Guys it took care of the Ned Fulmer scandal – but probably “missed” the point.

In the original, now viral clip, YouTube stars Eugene Lee Yang, Zach Kornfeld and Keith Habersberger explained their decision to fire the fourth member after discovering that he was having a workplace affair with video producer Alexandra Herring, a junior employee.

Some SNL viewers have argued that the comedy sketch with the music video was apparently intended to hold their associate accountable, rather than mocking Ned for cheating on his 10-year wife Ariel Fulmer.

“I shouldn’t be so concerned, but the snl try a bit when they make fun of NOT Ned but the other three for holding him responsible for all his shit and being hurt by it is so nasty”, one person he wrote on Twitter. “Please tell me more, what do you think, how funny a man cheating on his wife with his employee is.”

Other tweeted“Did SNL just light up the Try Guys?”

Others asked why “SNL” had not upset the “power balance” that was in play, arguing that Ned had betrayed someone who had far less power than he had in his workplace.

“Is it just me or is it kind of screwed up that they make fun of POWER DYNAMIC for the sexual relationship between the company’s founder and one of its employees?” one person tweeted.

Second added“Oof, rude awakening to SNL, the whole internet is on Try Guy’s side. There were so many other ways they could parody it, but they decided to make the victims punch line while downplaying workplace harassment. “

In the “SNL” version, Bowen Yang, Mikey Day and Andrew Dismukes introduced the other Try Guys members Lee Yang, Kornfeld and Habersberger, respectively.

“This is obviously an evolving story, but CNN can confirm that the Try Guys posted an official YouTube video praising ex-Try Guy Ned Fulmer, wife of Try Guy,” Brendan Gleeson, who hosted the October 8 episode, said at the beginning of the sketch.

The day Kornfeld then cut in to say, “Worse yet, he committed the hideous act of kissing by mutual consent and not telling us his friends.”

The sketch came two weeks after the Try Guys announced that Ned had been fired from the group amid reports that he had been seen kissing Herring at a New York bar.

“Family should always be my priority, but I lost my focus and had a voluntary relationship in the workplace,” Ned wrote in a statement at the time.
