'SNL' attempts 'Bake Off' parody, fails in epic fashion

"We're here to bring the drama by being nasty little nightmares."

If there's one thing Saturday Night Live shouldn't mess with, it's the Great British Bake Off. Nonetheless, SNL's ill-advised comedians decided to come for the beloved British baking show. And, they failed miserably. "From the only town that voted unanimously for the Brexit, Brielle and Paisley," announced Aidy Bryant masquerading as presenter Mel Giedroyc.

Emily Blunt formed part of the Brexit-voting Bake Off duo that claimed to be "here to bring the drama" by being "nasty little nightmares."

The pair talked about meeting at the hospital when they were getting their stomachs pumped for alcohol poisoning. Not exactly a laughing matter.

Really, SNL?
