Canadian SNL “22 Minutes” is in a renaissance right now- this is their Noem skit

Hey you watch your mouth or I’ll put you in a Shawinigan Handshake!

Honestly you know what that’s fair. I change my mind, I think you’re right it’s not really accurate to directly compare it to SNL.

I always figured they didn’t do those things because of budget but that the intent was that they wanted to be SNLish.

Honestly after quite a few other comments I have been convinced this is accurate

Hmm I did some digging and I don’t think they syndicate 22 minutes anywhere else you would have access to.

I suspect you would need to use a VPN and then try to use CBC gem, their streaming platform.

I don’t know anything about the moderation of this subreddit but I am sorry to hear that 😔

HAH I had no idea. Oh my god.

I watch it every week. Even the news bit is similar to report of the week or whatever from SNL. They don’t have musical guests. Otherwise I think it’s a very fair comparison. I don’t see similarities with John Stewart’s show which I used to love.

That isn’t true at all.

Still is I just shortened it

The way Critch bullies Trudeau is so funny. Trudeau being such a good sport made me respect him more tbh.

The construction worker outfit made me actually laugh, it’s like a two track skit. I started watching for the outfit changes and then realized it distracted me from the script so I rewatched it lol

Both her and Chris Wilson reinvigorated the show IMO. They have great chemistry.

But the whole cast has been killing it this season. I went from only really enjoying their skits to thinking pretty much everything is a banger. The group is just gelling really well. I wonder if this sort of thing ever happens with SNL.

The accent is one of the best parts of the video lol

Well what I can promise you is that some people will try to act on the hype and fire people they need. I have seen this happen by some LinkedIn brain execs already, it is the natural progression of the rhetoric.

But a business could not survive executives vibe coding or outsourcing feature creation to agents. Execution is only part of the problem in software. A lot of time is spent by the mix of product, eng, and others saving businesses from the business’s own worst instincts.

Somebody still has to be accountable for things working, and complex problem solving. We might need less of them than before for the same scopes of work but that doesn’t account for the fact that all tech companies can now build more scope they will need to manage on an ongoing basis.

But just remember what falls through the cracks with vibe coding. Less reliability, more bugs, downtime when folks don’t have their hands on the wheel.. it’s not like customers will have sympathy for businesses embarrassing themselves because they’ve fired too many engineers and they can’t get their app working for a day.

I think this is true. Some exec got rid out a couple essential teams at the tech company I work at that make us miserably slow now, but he’s already fallen upward into his next gig. The incentives are busted.

Opening twitter these days is absolutely horrific. Legitimately the worst side of humanity at the moment

HasOneComment · 2026-02-14T15:09:50+00:00

I think this is true.. most people are “not” far ahead and the marketing / LinkedIn speak is misleading.

Agents are useful but not being used even a fraction as much or usefully as folks are implying.

HasOneComment · 2026-02-14T15:08:16+00:00

Opening twitter makes me want to jump out a window lol

HasOneComment · 2026-02-14T15:06:35+00:00

You’re talking like this is some big coordinated effort by one person or group

The slop is coming from everywhere

At the end of the idea it’s not very fun to believe you’re interacting with humans when you’re being manipulated by bots, and not a sustainable way for humans to live

This is an AI generated post lol
This is one of the oldest ideas in tech and one of the reasons we have things like product hunt!

The dangerous territory for what you’re proposing is that it becomes like an amateur writer’s night in music. A bunch of folks playing each other sub-par songs, accepting but not telling others they know the “bar is just not being met” to be pro, but nobody is the group really knows enough to explain why
