Someone sent me the Moo Deng (my little bouncy pork QUEEN) sketch and I laughed a bit imagining her actually saying this. But, it didn’t sit right with me that it was basically a hit on Chappell Roan -- acted out by a man who literally had to step away from his work because he was having a mental health crisis.

I’ve never been a big fan of Bowen Yang anyway, but this made me like him even less.

I’m unable to watch the sketch right now, but that is terrible. I like both Bowen and Chappell so 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I didnt see it as a bash against her. It felt more like he was making a comment on how people love nothing more than to drag someone down. Chappell became everyone’s punching bag, and I think he was pointing that out, not trying to make fun of her.

But that was my take on it, but I could be wrong.

I don’t think you’re wrong, I think it’s just easy to have several interpretations of this and that’s what makes it not a great sketch (imo) when it comes to talking about a real person having a mental health issue.

[hellojeds]

I took it that way too.

thats actually how i saw it

[megzzy]

Bowen and Matt (his podcast co-host) are both massive Chappell fans. I wouldn't read too much into this.

bowen wouldn't dare make jokes about ariana though
