During a Golf channel sketch, host Nate Bargatze plays a golfer who eviscerates a bird mid-flight with a golf ball. A blurred, bloody cleanup is shown. Next, he hits a golf ball that knocks down a bald eagle’s nest, filled with eggs. That is followed up with him mistaking an eagle egg for his golf bottle, so his swing obliterates an unhatched egg. Then he throws his golf club into a course pond, killing a snapping turtle, shown floating on the pond surface with a twitching tail. Finally, he picks up a flag to celebrate, but as he replaces it in the cup, it stabs a squeaking chipmunk, who snuck into the empty cup.

sketch about a 12 year old girl whose breasts have developed looking too “mature” to be an actress on a children’s show. adult actress playing the 12 year old, but there are child actors in the scene too. lots of jokes about her breasts for the audience, but within the sketch two adult men are the main characters interacting with the child and focusing on her breasts.

surprisingly realistic graphic visual around 8:00 during derek jeter’s monologue after he hits the guy 3x with a baseball. the actor definitely has a hidden hose and you can tell it’s fake but it was more triggering than anything i expected to see on SNL
this happens a few more times in coming episodes. it’s so graphically fake i didnt bother noting it

lots of news-like segments with people speaking directly to camera, every single open switches from being a skit to looking at the camera saying “live from new york it’s saturday night!”
this is a live show comprising of 5-10 skits, parody commercials, and musical comedy in each episode. 4th wall broken all the time, and the actors also break character when they laugh or mess up

there are lots of skits that feature babies as dolls or fake pregnant women as the focus, as well as pre-filmed “commercials” with real babies. Ana Gastayer is pregnant during part of season 27 and her pregnancy is the focus of a handful of skits

In the 50th anniversary special, there was a montage of several of the times the show has a done black/brownface. The montage is blurred, the original sketches weren't.

the reason i watch this show is exposure to be desensitized to sexual content triggers. it is pervasive. mostly verbal jokes but there is plenty of the actors doing physical actions to each other, often unwanted.

common joke here or there scattered throughout the show.
particularly bad whole sketch with Tracy Morgan and Lorne Michaels trying to manipulate, coerce, and/or trick Sarah Michelle Gellar and Faith Hill into doing a porny girl-on-girl wrestling match, that they are both clearly disinterested in doing and asking the men to stop pressuring them.
