'SNL' Lampoons Alleged Violence in Tiger Woods' Marriage

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 6th 2009 10:17AM

Rihanna was the guest musician on the latest episode of 'Saturday Night Live,' and while her hilarious appearance in a digital short with Andy Samberg was a highlight of our week, it was another sketch that gave us pause. Host Blake Lively played Elin Nordegren Woods in a segment lampooning the model's marriage to scandalized golfer Tiger Woods. The skit focused on allegations that Elin beat her husband with a golf club after learning of his infidelity.

We think, had the genders been reversed, 'SNL' wouldn't make light of the potentially violent situation - and with Rihanna on board, we wonder if a domestic violence gag was in especially poor taste. Watch the video below.

In the sketch, Kenan Thompson (as Tiger Woods) appears bruised and battered while Blake Lively wields a golf club. Thompson says, "Right after my last press conference, I was in my home, having a chat with my lovely and deceptively strong wife Elin. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going and I fell down the stairs. I was disoriented from the fall, so I stumbled to the other side of the house and I launched myself through a plate glass window."

"Ja, says Lively, "this is what happened."

Lighten up. Quit being so hypersensitive. It's SNL, what did you expect - serious marraige counseling? Get a grip! It was FUNNY! Laugh, you sour-pusses!

If it's so funny he should have hit her back instead of running--like a "wussyman". Then the paramedics could have found her unconcious.
Hah-Hah-Hah!

Maybe next week, when she's not there, they can do a funny skit about Rihanna appologizing for whatever she did that led poor Chris Brown to hit her. Brown didn't leave Rihanna unconcious so I guess she should be thank. Toughen up, wussywoman!

Can you imagine if he was white!

By jim d

Hell, they can make fun of every consertive, or white male on planet Earth and no one cares. But you let them gig a black man and nooooo sirrrr their out of line.
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Looks like the gander's goose is cooked.LOL

You're an idiot. Domestic violence is domestic violence, whether it's a man hurting a woman or vice versa. If the allegations against Nordegren are proved true, she belongs in prison.

NO THEY DID NOT CUT SARAH PALIN ANY SLACK

Please, people just need to have confrontation about everything. The skit was clean and funny. So all you liberals just keep your mouths shut for once and let us have some fun.

THIS IS TRUE. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WOULD AGAIN SHIELD US FROM REALITY, THE WAY IT STEERS US AWAY FROM TRUTH ON ALMOST EVERY NEWSCAST AND NEWSPAPER. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS TRUTH!

This really is strange justice. Tiger makes his money by knocking the crap out of little white balls. Now, his wife will make her money by knocking the crap out of his little bla-k balls! Strange justice.

"had the genders been reversed, 'SNL' wouldn't make light
of the potentially violent situation" Bla Bla Bla...etc

I do believe in equality. Everyone feels that it's ok for her to beat the hell out of tiger for cheating, so do I. On the other hand, if a good guy catches his wife cheating, by all means, beat the crap out of her too!!! I think we should all be allowed to do so if our partners show infidelity!!!

By carolh226

sounds like Breandan has some issues with women! maybe someone should check into this idiot to see if he has some domestic violence issues he's hiding from. then again, he's in plain sight about it. hope your wife/girlfriend is in protection somewhere or sees this & runs. he has some violent tendancies for sure & some messed up ideas on how to treat women. must be something he can't get over that someone accused him of. he needs jailtime

By politically incorrectness rules

This was aired on SNL not the Cosby show. It was aired after 10:30pm (chicago time here). It was on SNL not the Disney Channel. SNL needs more politically incorrect skits. Nothing was inappropriate.

By mickey

Somebody is trying to stir up trouble or sympathy for Tiger Woody. The skit was funny. It did not go too far. It didn't even show the five mistresses.

By knownunknown

exactly be easy, whenever my woman get out of line I smack them around too, I'm just glad he didn't do anything back blackman would be in jail right now.
