Faith-based films get persecuted in SNL trailer parody God Is A Boob Man
Tucked away at the very end of last night’s solid Julia Louis-Dreyfus-hosted Saturdy Night Live was another of the show’s meticulously produced and consistently funny movie trailer parodies. Taking aim at a faith-based film market whose existence is predicated on the idea that the most persecuted people in America are right-wing Christians, God Is A Boob Man follows the template of the God’s Not Dead series by taking a peppy Christian bakery owner (Vanessa Bayer) to court. There she defends her God-given right not to make a wedding cake for two gay patrons (depicted as especially sinister caricatures by Taran Killam and Jon Rudnitsky) in an exposé of what the exaggeratedly ominous voice-over calls “liberal elites run wild.”
