Behind "You Lie!"

Like most people, I tend to think Saturday Night Live was funniest when I was ~18 years old. I haven't watched it on TV in years--but I have admired a lot of its political humor when I've seen clips on the internets.

This one's particularly good, for at least two reasons:

• It's really silly.
• It's a funny premise about a political story--but it isn't itself particularly political.

Enjoy:
