This skit was funny and clever. People aren’t seeing the joke. His unattractive looks which used to at one time repulse women. Are now his number one weapon to attract women. He turned a negative into what he thought was a positive. Another layer is It’s a reverse take on don’t judge a book by its cover. It also points the sad truth about a lot of men being dogs that can’t control their most basic urges and how there are always women out there willing to play along. If you are being offended comedy just because you don’t like the joke perhaps you should shut the Phuk up because people are more offended by you than a stupid skit.

How was it making fun of people with facial differences? This joke is more so mocking/satirizing the old-timey movies that were basically "Look at this disgusting freak, but he's an artistic genius so the woman is able to look past her monstrous visage!" In this sketch, it ends with it being revealed that while Peter is a great playwright, he's not some pure and perfect person that needs to be raised up by a benevolent woman. In fact, he's kind of your average cheating a-hole who has no problems attracting women. If anything, this sketch says "Hey, some people look different. Their physical differences don't make them pure, perfect, souls, nor does it make them evil, wicked abominations. They are just normal people and can be nice of dicks just like anyone else."
Despite learning multiple times Dua Lipa has an English accent, it always surprises me when I hear her talk.

What ended up being truly ugly was his soul.

@JoefromNJ1 you're missing the point. The negative trope of people with any kind of visible difference, is problematic and damaging. Young people will look at these things, and think having a visible difference = being bad/evil/ugly and so on. It's especially damaging to those with a visible difference, but also teaches those without to be afraid, distrustful, and to mock. Far too often, villains have visible differences in movies/TV. And in this case, it's not only a cheater, but making fun of the fact that someone with a visible difference (even if it is fake and not a real condition) could ever have that many people interested in them... so hopefully that makes you realise why we are being vocal about it and calling it out :)

This has been going on for far too long. When will it stop.

He writes alluring adaptations of his life of woe as a lonely broken man shut off from the world. Trap set and snap. She ignores all the flags, like him literally bringing nothing to the table but a briefcase of dust, his horrific table manners, his THIRD EYE FFS. You get it yet? He’s weaseled his way into a cushy life and can’t even return the favor with faithfulness. All he brings her is down, and like the classic conman, he’s got multiple backups available just in case she catches on, he simply slides into the arms of another woman. Even with both women kicking him to the curb, they simply must agree in the end that he’s just such a gifted playwright…

Wait, at what point does a sketch become a short film? I'd say about at the 3 minute mark in the tub for this one. Bravo. Bravo, truly.
It is hard to convey how offensive this sketch is to disfigured people (1% of the world's population). Disfigured people are often portrayed in the media as being evil, pathetic or unlovable. These portrayals do profound damage to a community which already contends with stigma, harassment, bullying and hate crimes. In this recent sketch, the Anomalous Man is seen as 1) isolated, unloved, with horrific self-esteem, 2) the woman who loves him is seen as heroic for doing so. 3) His appearance is relentlessly mocked 4) The fact that he is sexually active is the big joke. I know SNL can do better. SNL is a vaunted show, gracing our country with many laughs over the decades. But this sketch did not do SNL credit. We need to educate people about prejudice toward disfigured people, and the media's role in perpetuating this stigma. To learn more, please watch: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHhtrcqRgbKrdJs.html

They aren't punching down on appearance. The Anomalous Man has no real-life counterpart, he's just a total player. It's a satire of modern dating.

@@hedwigblythe3476 his appearance is the butt of the joke the ENTIRE time. It is doubled down when the "resolution" is that despite being visually unappealing, he is still a terrible person. It is tripled down by whoever thought it was a good idea for him to start catching bugs in his mouth. It is no longer parody when it closely resembles the very real experience of being visually different, which many people are, and they are judged harshly on appearance alone by much of the world that thinks that is ok to do. It is not parody when it is never made "ok" in the sketch that he is a person, just made worse in that he is also ANOTHER "bad" thing, a cheater (yes cheating is bad), so the audience was "right" to be repulsed by him in the first place,

@@elisangale431 Respectfully, I thought he was living his best life. The Victorian women seemed to be the butt of the joke because he is such a player. Also, the absolute absurdity of his persona made it clear that there is no real-life counterpart to the Anomaly. He could have been a minotaur. It still would have been a brilliant satire. It was also so on brand for Sarah Sherman's magical realism. Honestly, it came across like the classic Twilight Zone episodes, as well as Gabriel Garcia Marquez's characters in fiction.

How was it making fun of people with facial differences? This joke is more so mocking/satirizing the old-timey movies that were basically "Look at this disgusting freak, but he's an artistic genius so the woman is able to look past her monstrous visage!" In this sketch, it ends with it being revealed that while Peter is a great playwright, he's not some pure and perfect person that needs to be raised up by a benevolent woman. In fact, he's kind of your average cheating a-hole who has no problems attracting women. If anything, this sketch says "Hey, some people look different. Their physical differences don't make them pure, perfect, souls, nor does it make them evil, wicked abominations. They are just normal people and can be nice or dicks, just like anyone else."
It's so cruel to mock Joseph Merrick in this way. They could have made this sketch, with the same twist, without mocking him.

They aren't mocking Joseph Merrick. It's set similarly in London, but clearly derived from classic Twilight Zone. Also has no one read Gabriel Garcia Marquez? The Anomalous Man has no real-life counterpart. The satire was beyond the viewers who haven't read fantasy literature.

it’s not a nice thing to do- completely disregards equality within the sphere of disability. We are praising ableism because it’s ‘entertaining’ for us. Check out the it handle faceequalityint for more info this is disgusting Even if it was intended to be a parody of the elephant man(great movie), it could have been done with a lot more grace and respect. This is the wrong culture that is circulating in the media. Please remember that we choose what we believe, don’t be fooled by sketches or celebrated individuals that are glamorised on television- they are blatantly mocking a visible disability.

How? The Anomalous Man has no counterpart in real life. Clearly, the character is actually using the anomaly to play women. The character has a frog tongue and an eyeball on his back (which seemed to "wink" at the video for Cold Heart). It was totally on brand for Sarah Sherman's surreal trademark comedy. I saw references to Twilight Zone and Gabriel Garcia Marquez inspired surreal-fantasy in this clever skit.
