点评:We went for the 13+ family version of “best of second city” we bought sweatshirts on our way in because we were SO excited. And with the SNL history and the “family tolerable” promise we thought it’d be a
mainstream but still PG-13 generally television-friendly show. Sad to say we were disappointed. We could digest an occasional f-bomb but honestly every person and every sketch had multiples. And it didn’t need it- most of the show was funny and could’ve been better if they were more creative than just panicking in their improv moments - screaming F-ck isn’t talented. And we feel like they were actually quite talented so that was super disappointing. But all that aside, the number of times they made fun of God and Jesus tonight just was uncalled for. They were “trying out” a wiseman scene and it wasn’t funny. Let’s leave BJ out of Jesus’s birth ok guys? Yall are better than this. We were sad and left so disappointed and wanted to return our second city sweatshirts but we decided that tonight was NOT the whole legacy. So thanks - for reminding us we are all works in progress. And Jesus knows we all need help. Yes- me too. All of Us. (Families- for now, if you’re in for a clean-ish show, this was not it.)
翻译:我们选择了适合13岁以上观众的家庭版《Best of Second City》。进场前我们还兴奋得买了运动衫。考虑到《SNL》的历史背景以及“适合全家观看”的承诺,我们原以为这会是一档虽然属于主流节目,但总体上仍符合PG-13级标准、适合在电视上播出的节目。可惜事与愿违,我们很失望。虽然偶尔出现一个脏话我们还能接受,但说实话,节目中的每个人物、每个小品里都充斥着大量此类词汇。其实也没必要这样——整个演出大部分都很有趣;如果他们在即兴表演时能更有创意一些,而不是惊慌失措,效果肯定会更好。只会大喊“操”可算不上有才华。我们觉得他们其实挺有才华的,所以这真的让人大失所望。不过抛开这些不谈,今晚他们多次拿上帝和耶稣开玩笑,实在毫无必要。他们当时在“试演”一个关于智者的场景,可一点也不好笑。各位,咱们就别把BJ扯进耶稣诞生的故事里了吧?你们应该做得更好才对。我们当时很伤心,失望至极,甚至想把买的第二件城市主题卫衣退掉。不过后来我们决定:今晚的表演并不能代表整个演出的水准。所以,谢谢你们提醒我们:我们每个人都还在成长过程中。而耶稣也明白,我们都需要帮助。没错——我也需要帮助。我们所有人都是如此。(各位家长:目前来看,如果你们想带孩子看一场还算干净的演出,那这场可不符合要求哦。)
