Good episode. Dave Chappelle did a fantastic job of pushing the envelop on several controversial topics but did not rip through the envelope. Unlike other celebrities who did a pole dance on the third rail of controversial topics and have died publicly, Chappelle did an entertaining tap dance on the third rail and lived. This is a mark of good comedy. Just as the court jester could make fun of the royal court on issues that all the other nobility knew about but were afraid to talk about openly, the jester would survive as long as they didn't cross the line too much. The rest of the episode also was pretty racey and pushed things to the limit yet did it so funnily that you were not too offended, but laughed. All in all, very cathartic, one of the better episodes of SNL in a while.

Watched the Big Scary 'S' Word and was not scared nor entertained. It was over an hour long ramble that could have been reduced to thirty minutes if all the fluffy sniveling whining dog whistle bits were removed and Socialism/Capitalism was properly explain by economists. I enjoy hearing about injustices being righted as much as the next guy, but not having my time wasted.

Bear Feat is a prime example of a Procrustean father controlling everything and everyone then wonders why things go wrong. I believe it is an allegory of a toxic workplace, a dictatorial manager, and how employees adapt to a toxic work environment. The joke where the Boss says "oh no, you did what I said" happens repeatedly and results in predictable blowback. The ending was poetic justice when the master of his domain tries to flee his plight only to be pulled back to wallow in his mess. This Procrustean toxic cartoon would never be made today.
