SNL Parodies New Jersey Tan Mom
What’s up, amigos? How was your Cinco De Mayo? Did you go to any fiestas or get muy borracho (don’t be intimidated by my fluent Español, I took 4 years in high school so I’m pretty skilled)? Welp, it’s back to the grindstone this week, so let’s get a few giggles into that tequila-scented mouth so we can start the day, shall we?
If you’ve been watching the news the past few weeks, you’d know that there is a woman running around New Jersey who is currently on trial for child endangerment for allegedly bringing her 5 year old into a tanning bed, giving her a sunburn that concerned her teachers enough to call the police. Patricia Krentsil and her daughter would likely never have gone any further than a local newscast if it weren’t for a widely-publicized photo of Krentsil, showing her rather, erm, bronzed face. Over the span of several interviews and candid shots, Krentsil went from looking Jersey-Shore-orange to beef jerky-brown to a shade that has never been seen in the realm of nature. The clear craziness of the woman, who claims that her critics are “fat,” “ugly” and “jealous,” made the story ripe for parody, and that’s just what SNL did this weekend.
Starring SNL’s front woman Kristen Wiig herself, this Weekend Update appearance by Patricia Krentsil’s doppleganger is full of laughs (probably the only ones in the whole episode hosted by Eli Manning), so sit back, relax, and thank the heavens you will never look as nut-job crazy as this woman.
