Imagine calling a year-long affair with an engaged subordinate “a consensual kiss at a Harry styles concert.” Tell me this was written by Ned’s friend at SNL without telling me this was written by Ned’s friend at SNL.
Her name is Alison Gates
@@ToxicatedLum thank you!
@@sarah4875 you’re as bright as the black hole and twice as dense.
Arguably that is what is, though. I think people are stretching the owner part too far. It's not illegal to have a relationship with your boss. Some companies ask you declare it (There are issues of both nepotism and a power dynamic at play, that can be agreed on.) But ultimately if they do not feel pressured or the like, then it is not an issue.
The core issue is people not wanting to work with someone who cheats on their wife, and it is wrapped with the company's brand. That harms the whole brand.
If he wasn't married or in a relationship, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
If he cheated with someone outside of the company, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it would be a bigger deal than the first case
Both combined have made it explode, perhaps a bit out of proportion in my opinion.
@@ToxicatedLum I thought it was Will Stephen
Shoutout to whoever wrote this sketch for misunderstanding the entire situation
Alison Gates is his friend who works for SNL - so her
Who cares of the entire situation
Also his friend Will
Fr, we all know who has friends here 🙄🙄🙄 & they wonder why they can't connect to younger gens. The problem starts with *your* writers purposefully misrepresenting the truth
It's almost like it's making fun of people caring about the entire situation in the first place....
Ned was LITERALLY the best person to make fun of in this situation. It wasn’t just because he cheated on his wife with an employee, but this man made his ENTIRE personality and life about his wife for a decade! That’s why people are talking.
It's not the SNL audiences obligation to know the dynamics of a bunch of overpaid beta males.
Exactly! I don't think they misunderstood the situation, after all Ned has a friend who is a writer in SNL...
Most didn't get the skit - 😂😂😂
the whole point was that no one knows ned and no no gives a shit
@@jackhughes1234no one who watches SNL knows Ned- but lots of people don’t watch SNL.

The SNL crew has also been accused multiple times of sexual harassment
@@sewwfffyhjijuiyou are telling me a crew that has had hundreds and hundreds of people on it has had accounts of sexual harassment... how shocking.
@@W3irdWombatthat’s not the point. The point is the treatment those victims have gotten after coming out… which has allegedly been very poor.
Yes how dare a company uphold a moral standard and respect the families hurt by this situation. How dare they not cover this up like it is no big deal.
It is admirable that they actually hold one of their dear friends accountable, and that they did so without bashing him and without siding with him either. They have handled this with grace, and of course SNL is not able to just respect that in a space and community they normally wouldn’t care about.
Totally agree with you dude. The try guys handled this expertly and its sickening to see SNL bash them like this just to make a flaccid excuse of a joke.
They are like trump and they are making fun of it
Lol stop trying to defend your group of whyte guys and token Asian
They deserve to be made fun of like trump
Nah it's just y'all making a big deal about something that's none of your business and that is so small. A man cheated on his wife with a coworker. Like am I missing something
@@williammiller496 Yeah you're missing that fact that he was her boss, not just a coworker. That's such a legal can of worms with the fact that he was her boss, he could have and likely did cost the Try Guys significant amounts of money. It's really interesting how many men in the comments feel the need to try to defend the fact that he cheated on his lovely wife and betrayed all of his closest friends, putting their life's work at risk.
@@hnichole not just men, my girlfriend and mother of my child had the same thoughts. That's a warning a best and if they keep seeing each other then termination and I'm not saying cheating on your wife is okay at all, I'm saying it's nobody's business but the husband and wife. I mean to act like this is a big deal is actually crazy.
That moment you look up the writer for the skit and it's one of Ned's best friends 💀💀💀
Omg!
So gross. They obviously share the trashy standards they have in common
but wasn't it actually just that they happened to go to the same school?
I see the Try Guys paid a lot of money to have this spammed, despite no evidence he has a friend was responsible for this sketch, let alone even works at SNL.
The other try guys have had lots of videos with them participating in child grooming behaviors while Ned is popular with and attracted to adult women.
No he’s not. Y’all see shit online and roll with it with out verifying anything
Any way we can get RUclips to bring back the dislike bar for just this video?

Amazing how you manage to not blame the only person worth blaming. Sexual misconduct at work isn't a joke and they were certainly not overreacting. Honestly with snl's history of covering up or ignoring scandals like this (horatio sanz's case for example), this really fits their theme.
That's what happens when you have a friend that's a writer on the show
Lol
this makes more sense when you realize that Ned has a friend that is an SNL writer
And he was one of the writers involved in this skit too
@@kalinkawielgus6008 Its a sketch, not a skit.
Yeah, his friend saw him get thrown under the bus by his other 'friends' and rightfully mocked their self-sanctimonious bullshit lol. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are being slaughtered but the three of them sit on their sofa with those serious faces like Ned committed war crimes or raped a child or something.

75% of men and 68% of women admit to cheating at one point in their life. It's so funny that everyone thinks they are above it when statistically given the opportunity, you would take it.
Can you tell us how they misread it? Because I want to know what he did that was so dramatic that he is now dead to all his friends and needs to be digitally erased from all content so viewers aren't traumatised. Who did he r*pe or kill exactly?

He was her BOSS and was MARRIED
Not only that, his whole ass brand was "LOOK HOW MUCH I LOVE MY WIFE AND MY FAMILY I'M SUCH A GOOD HUSBAND"
its a bad situation but not news worthy no one cares
Right, and he was fired (as he should be). Thats it. Thats the end of the controversy. Move on
Ok…this happened to a sitting president too - what’s the news..?
Calling a year-long affair with a subordinate which results in the betrayal your wife and children *"a consensual kiss"* is like calling a hit-and-run "driving the speed limit"
A friend of Ned writes for SNL
The fact you find this entertainment is the real crime...I got 30 seconds in and couldn't handle it...i have sneaking suspicion is the fact you care about someone's interpersonal bs of the try guys ..is the joke they're making
Heard of grindr before? Pretty much half the married men you know are on there.
It’s giving “Back in my day I used to grab my secretarys a** and she liked it”
The woman in the affair is an associate producer... she is not a subordinate. Actually Ned would be the subordinate in this hierarchy.
If Ned's friend wrote this, I guess now we know how Ned thinks about all this.
this is exactly what I was thinking.
It came out the his friend Will is one of the writers of this skit
@@MrHalogamer247 where is this source for this claim?
that's a good point.
@@JenningsFilmsinc the writer promoted it on his story and he and ned follow one another
Wow! Today I learned that it’s okay for someone to cheat on their wife, completely disregarding their family, and with their employee at that! Really makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes of this shitshow that hasn’t been funny in years- if ever
Omg 😂😂 spazz out it's a comedy skit too serious
They're parodying the reactive responses from the try guys. Cheating is a f-ed up thing to do, but it's not an earth shattering big deal. Fire him, provide support to the employee, and move on?
@@ijustamthem amen , it's cry babies making it worse
@@ijustamthem it was a big deal because the woman he was sleeping with was his employee. He was her boss. That’s completely inappropriate.

Lmao you can tell Ned got his friend to do this one. Imagine making fun of the try guys and NOT Ned in this situation. The gross abuse of power and treating it like it’s nothing is disgusting.
If anything, he's ruining SNL for the younger generations now as well, so SNL will die out eventually, it's already falling apart. Good job, Ned!
@@hagelslag9312 snl has been bad since Obama was in office. An I’m not blaming Obama the just jokes weren’t funny at all.
@@ScoscobabyOGO Thanks Obama 😭
"Imagine..." I've noticed that every comment on here attacking Ned sounds like it comes from a child and/or idiot.
Ned is the only Try Guy to not support child abuse and that's why they're TRYING to drag his name through the mudd.
To take the attention off themselves.
@@Freakazoid12345 I’m sorry what in the actual fuck are you on about mate
Ned was not fired because he “kissed someone”. He was fired because as a co-founder of the company, he was sleeping with one of his subordinates and not disclosing it to HR. This opened up the remaining Try Guys to potential lawsuits. They didn’t overreact, instead taking weeks to do a thorough internal review before making any of it public. The Try Guys’ response is a great example of a stand up company.
Just to add about not disclosing it to HR, he WAS HR for the company. They wear multiple hats and one of his was that he was the HR lead
It's an SNL skit It's not that serious
Your name is Abby though. That disqualifies you from everything I’m sorry.
@@justinfernandez2658 I think the reason why people got upset is because Ned Fulmer's friend is the one writing this skit.
Yeah this is messed up.
Hm, now I know exactly what Pat Bateman meant when he said “that whole Yale thing”
“But he was a try guy and she was a food baby”. Let me fix that for you: “He was one of the owners and founders of the company and she was his EMPLOYEE.”
Anyone else remember Ned bragging about how one of his buddies from Yale was a writer at SNL?
Yeah, I'll just leave it at that.
i didn't remember until seeing these comments, but yeah that makes sense. also SNL just isn't funny and likes to downplay victims of SA so this tracks for them.

which one? let's name & shame, people, there was no excuse for SNL execs to greenlight this obvious conflict of interest.
@@dietotaku dan bulla, i believe. he was in a sketch comedy group with him.
@@dietotaku Conflict of interest...? This isn't a legal case, this is a "comedy" (though how funny this was is debatable). Should SNL not satirize political matters due to a "conflict of interest" (since most, if not all of them are Democratic-leaning)?
i don't think another piece of media has ever so succinctly captured the vibe of 'The writer is cheating on his wife as we speak' so perfectly before
No joke. I literally feel so bad for any woman connected to SNL at this point.
@@Becca_Lynn lmao
The writer is actually one of neds besties which makes so sm sense
HAHAHAHHA
@@karrissmyth8236 WHAT?! You're joking.
He cheated on his wife (who he had kids with), with an employee (he was her boss). His entire personality was talking about how much he loved his wife, and his kids. But he cheated on her many many times.
The Try Guys were not only hurt by the fact that their best friend would do that. They were hurt as a brand and company. If one of the owners of a company manages to abuse his power (it's pretty obvious that an affair with a subordinate breaches the code of conduct), it then places the other owners under fire. It questions their HR, and the integrity of their brand. It put their personalities (since Ned obviously showed everybody how much he lied to the screen) on the chopping block too.
He basically fucked them over, didn't warn them at all, and when it all came out- he didn't even try to help his stressed-out friends by making a decent statement about the situation.
So no, it's not just 'besties' upset that their buddy kissed a girl without telling them.
It's business partners severing ties with an owner who put their entire companies' ethics into question.
It's friends who are heartbroken for his wife (who feels betrayed and I'm assuming is divorcing him), and upset for his children- whose lives will be changed indefinitely by Ned's stupid decisions.
Oh nooooo
Yeah, that line should have been rewritten.
The ratio of 37K likes to 195K dislikes is the most hilarious thing about this bit.
The most hilarious thing for me is having no idea who any of these people are but correctly assessing they must be famous internet people due to the intensity of the comments.
These comments are so salty. Delicious.
@@Dugnutt_Keep Comments are "salty" because the screenwriter did this bit to support his friend and diminish him being thrown out of the company after abusing his power as a boss. They make dumb jokes about people who have acted fair and put a safe workplace environment first instead of their buddy which is pretty foreign for the SNL crew as they tend to do exactly the opposite. You're eating it up exactly as they intended, bravo.
@@freyja6360 I've been a nerd long enough to know this is simply a fandom at work.
However, the issue y'all are having is that you can't play the coercion card. So you've got to stress on lawsuits and power dynamics, but the reality is most of us don't care about the former and only the latter as it relates to coercion - which, again, is a card you don't have.
There's nothing for me, or any of you in my opinion, to be upset about.
@@Dugnutt_Keep Your opinion about the situation you have no idea about is worth nothing. You think that it's poor SNL against some imaginary "internet fandom". I don't even watch TG's videos all that often to recognize that their behavior in a crisis situation was textbook. You've probably missed that the mainstream media and numerous publications were equally outraged about this skit and the fact that the skit was written by a friend of the guy who was sacked and they're intentionally missing the whole point to make their buddy sound better. Yeah, those stupid fandoms😂... SNL got murdered in all the media for this crap and the only thing they've got in return was the fact that their own misconducts and shady practices got exposed once again. Now they're the ones on the couch, constantly crying how everyone is unfair.
Go back under the same rock you've crawled from. You're late for the discussion anyways and you sound ridiculous trying to pretend like you have a clue. "Coercion"😂, b... please.
Keith, Zach and Eugene do not deserve any hate for their response to the situation. They handled it so, so professionally and responsibly and the last thing they deserve is backlash from freaking SNL
I mean, except they knew about it for about a year.
@@jspur22 they literally didn’t? 💀
@@jspur22 they explained in their video that fans had to inform them about the scandal and they didn’t know until Labor Day weekend of this year
@@jspur22 oh? and where'd you get that info from? your little fantasy?
I found the sketch pretty funny, not because they were making fun of the situation, but because the CNN reporter was being a super fan of the group. I guess when you don't really care about anything the Try Guys do, this kind of skit is pretty funny. I guess I am detached enough from this group that I just don't care about the detail and just find the spoof funny.
This was really a low blow by SNL, seriously? The try guys actually did a fantastic job handling it all and holding people accountable. Good on them.
Agreed. But Ned has a couple of friends that work at SNL and I know at least one is a writer. They probably had something to do with this.
Agreed
Who gives a fuck lmao you put your life out there then this is what can happen
This isn’t a low blow. This is a wonderful troll to those that actually think this is the most important thing to talk about right now. Who gives a shit in the grand scheme? I don’t.
@@SlamHammer23686 that would be a really dumb fuckin troll considering half the stuff on SNL isn't something that needs attention. In the grand scheme of things, SNL itself doesn't matter if that's the perspective you have.
Y'all know Ned was credited as a writer of this skit. Obviously they weren't going to put him in a bad light. Classic SNL L
why tf was he credited as a writer???
If that's true... what a shitty thing he did... seriously.. Way to be funny and make fun of people who helped you grow for years.. You're the one who fucked up Ned... if you wrote this, man... ooooof..... fucked....up.
Let’s be honest at the real reason why SNL approved this sketch. SNL still hasn’t addressed the sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, of course they are going to poke fun at three men holding their former business partner accountable for his actions.
The way this sketch could have been hilarious if Ned’s friend hadn’t wrote it
Her name is Alison Gates
It would never have been very funny tbh. Quite like the Johnny Depp case sketch
i know right! if they concentrated on parodying that what happened vid and making a joke that eugene clearly is mad af and zach is sad and keith is disgusted the sketch would have been a 100 times better but snl just blew it with this one..
@@saanasalonen8684 I was waiting for “Zach” to sound close to crying, but I guess the sketch was just too…funny…
SNL is feeling more and more like it’s fill with dimwitted pickmes and porn bros.
I love that SNL is essentially mocking a group of men for taking sexual misconduct at work seriously and actually firing someone for it. It started off funny but it really went downhill when it became apparent what a toxic take they had on the whole thing. SNL really missed the mark on this one and should be embarrassed to have posted it on RUclips.
Only no one has said it was sexual misconduct, yet you run with it like it's a proven fact.
@@silentsaturn7604 consensual or not it still makes for an uncomfortable work environment for other employees.
@@silentsaturn7604 You don’t understand how power dynamics work, do you? You cannot be in a fully consensual relationship with someone whose checks you sign at the end of the day. He was the HR department for the company as well, the only person who said it was consensual is Ned.
@@silentsaturn7604 there is no such thing as a consensual workplace relationship between an employer and subordinate and that's according to the law, if this had happened in any other reputable company he would have been fired, it's not about the cheating legally, this is defined as a type of workplace sexual harassment.
@@silentsaturn7604 Sexual misconduct at work is exactly why Ned got fired. You just don’t understand the legal terms. Ned signed a contract as owner of the company that he could not do that. None of them were or are allowed. Unless they sign paperwork. That’s the way it should be. Otherwise, Alex could “claim” harassment any time she wants and threaten to sue them. It’s better to have all your boxes checked, before something comes up. Especially as a business owner. So, brush up on your terms buddy or please, don’t open that Dunkin’ you were thinking about.
I came straight here after watching the actual clip the Try Guys posted
This sketch was insensitive, wildly inaccurate, minimized the pain of everyone involved in the scandal, and somehow also managed to demonize the remaining Try Guys for having perfectly valid feelings.
They totally did Eugene dirty on this.
Update: 174K dislikes

The fact that this skit is so dismissive of the entire situation is such a huge red flag of the entire SNL crew and how they may handle a similar situation🚩🚩
People were asking SNL to deal with the situation. that's ridiculous.
they are making fun of YOU for demanding that SNL give a shit.

I feel like someone needs to check out what's happening behind the snl scenes after this because that's such a red flag
Seriously, the guys did everything right and the fact that it’s being mocked means someone is probably pulling the same shit over there
The joke is, people making a big fuss over personal drama that doesn't need a fuss
After the Horatio Sanz allegations involving the SNL employees, I'm not surprised by this sketch, tbh
i think they are making fun of the fact it being made out to be a bigger deal than the ukraine or iran situation
"Tell me you don't actually understand the joke without telling me you don't actually understand the joke"
In other words, everyone at SNL cheats on their spouses with their subordinates and don’t see what the big deal is. That actually, genuinely makes sense.
That is actually a real rumor about SNL considering the work hours are sometimes all night
This ∆
Dang!
*cries John Mulaney tears*
Actually Ned once stated in one of their old podcasts that one of his old college friends was a writer at SNL so it seems like they had something to do with it
No way they missed the mark THIS MUCH 😭
Good that you added the laugh track, because I was unsure which parts were supposed to be funny. Not that it helped.
Glad to see that this is where SNL stands on exploitative power dynamics. Real cool.

How do we know it's exploitative lol. They're two young adults that were spending a bunch of time together. Flings and attraction commonly grow out of that.
@@brick123zw it was an abuse of power regardless. At any point if Alex wanted to end things, she couldn’t because he was her boss. With an uneven power dynamic, it is never 100% consensual
This is disgusting behavior!!! We’ve been trying so hard to get men to hold other men accountable for cheating and once they do they immediately get made fun of, the way the try guys handled this was incredibly well and my heart aches for Ariel and the boys, and Will.

This
I know right wwwtffff was this
I know right wwwtffff was this
SNL completely misunderstood why they had to remove Ned from the company. There are a lot of legal problems that they had to face throughout the whole ordeal. For one, Ned was a co-head of the company dating an employee which can cause a lot of legal issues in the future if they didn't react quickly and accordingly. So many problems can arise from a relationship between a boss and an employee and it is very easy for things to get out of hand when things take a bad turn in those relationships. Keeping Ned in the company with everything going on between him and Alex puts the entire company at risk, not just him. If say there is a really bad break up between Ned and Alex and Ned is still a boss at Second Try LLC when it happens, not only can it affect the flow at work for everyone as a boss and producer are having personally issues brought into the workplace, but there is always the possibility of these problems leading to legal actions being taken against the company for allowing the boss and employee relationship to continue. This is why most companies have a policy that states that upper management is in no way allowed to have a romantic relationship with someone who works beneath them as an employee of the company. A lot of people think this is unfair to basically say "You can't date this person even if you really like each other because you work together" but it is in the best interests of every person involved including the company itself because there's just no telling how these relationships will play out and how it will affect the company or whether or not it will end with any sort of legal action taken against the boss individual and/or the company itself.
"wow, isn't that a bit extreme?"
reporter: "No." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
There's so many funny jokes about this situation, and you managed to miss every single one of them. Guess that's what happens when your buddy is on the writing staff
Are you Ned's wife Ariel?
No thats just every snl skit
now i want to know exactly which SNL writer is friends with ned
Yeah, there is a bit of humor to be squeezed out of this, but this wasn't it. They could have done an audition montage of people trying out to be the next Try Guy, with interview questions that shame Ned.
@@kjjunior7918 no they're saying it could've been funny but it wasn't

@@manofmagic1803 literally also funny how the only one describing it as consensual is Ned meaning Alex probably felt some sort of pressure due to him being her boss but putting any sort of pressure on someone to be intimate is wrong regardless which is why these relationships are wrong what’s not to understand haha
I dont get any of these comments here. Isnt the point that media focus on things that really dont matter?
The problem is that instead of making fun of the media, they are making fun of the people who the media is dragging through the mud.
The Try Guys are victims in all of this. They didn’t want the media knocking on their door. The people on that couch aren’t the ones who slept with an employee and cheated on their very public relationship.
you guys missed the point of the sketch.
They weren't saying that the situation wasn't a big deal, they were saying that there are more important issues to focus on, and people were being very dramatic.
The fact they they never call her his employee. Wow.
It’s just she was a food baby. Having her own video series wasn’t the issue. It was a workplace violation and that’s totally on Ned.
Exactly.. they knew not to do that because it would ruin their creditability for making this crap - his friends name is Alison Gates SNL writer they both went to Yale and are friends
I love how they just tried to avoid that fact as it it wasn’t important. Shows how they view those power dynamics
Grow up the joke was there were bigger relationship scandals an world events we'll live through this forced try guy tragedy people are "suffering"
@@GiveMeYourTacos666 she was a producer too.
Wow, look at that. Ned's old Yale friend made a sketch downplaying him breaking a literal law by sleeping with his employee. Which even Ned himself said in an old video is very illegal. Hope SNL is proud of themselves for continuously getting worse.
Her name is Alison Gates
I'm sorry, what law? I'm not a legal expert but I'm pretty sure there aren't any federal nor California state law prohibiting workplace relationships, no matter what power dynamics are involved. Or do you mean extramarital affairs themselves are illegal? What?
@@HerrDurkslag google is your friend right now. a simple search would tell you yes, it is illegal. the circumstances are different for everything though. sometimes getting fired occurs, sometimes not. it honestly depends on the situation. even if it was consensual some workplaces still fire over boss/employee or co worker relationships. normally it is the company's decision. since the try guys are their own company, they decided to not tolerate a power dynamic relationship involving a "boss" (ned) and a lower employee.
@@HerrDurkslag literally found this in an article on a quick google search:
“Employers may be liable for harassment not just to an employee once involved in a consensual romantic relationship, but also to other employees who have witnessed the relationship. The California Supreme Court has recognized a claim of sexual harassment brought by two women because they had been offended that other women received preferential treatment through sexual cooperation with their boss. The Supreme Court noted that an isolated incident of favoritism on the part of a supervisor toward the employee with whom the supervisor had a consensual relationship ordinarily would not constitute sexual harassment, but when “sexual favoritism in the workplace is sufficiently widespread it may create an actionable hostile work environment in which the demeaning message is conveyed.””
@@HerrDurkslag As a business student in LA it is not illegal. However, there must have been a contract agreement stating he couldn't do this with an employee. If he was let go he broke a law/ploicy within the company not the law for california. It was totally legal for try guys yo fire him. Sleeping with an emplyee under you is dangerous for the company and opened them up to lawsuits. This is highly frowned upon, even business studdnts are told not to do this shit.
No one made fun of Ned in this..... someone should have..
Hi Neds SNL writer friend, how much did he pay you?
Reminder that one of Ned's friends apparently writes for SNL so... The uneven mockery of everyone BUT Ned makes sense
True, like if they added a part where there's a 'new apology video' from Ned in which the actor is like ugly crying and taking a deep sigh before saying anything (to parody all apology videos in existence), it would have at least made everyone involved in the drama look foolish. Now it's only Eugene, Zach, Keith and all their fans that look like idiots.
Yeah this is just gross. SNL do better.
Wait really? Which one?
@@colekiker7938 Ned mentioned it in an old TryPod episode, I don't know the name of his "friend", though
Ned probably sold his soul if thats the case. Imagine having a friend that writes a worldwide show.
Imagine being Ariel and having your husband's infidelity be made out to be nothing but a joke on national TV. Men finally hold their friends accountable for SEXUAL MISCONDUCT in the workplace and they get mocked for it?! This sketch missed the mark on every level.
sexual harassments? lmfao that shit was consensual
it's not sexual harassment when the person consents, dumb ass. She literally cheated on her fiance. She wanted it just as much as him. Meaning it's consensual. The only thing he did wrong was cheat on his wife.
@@RamblingRob2 the power imbalance between an employee and their employer is a legal minefield and absolutely sexual harassment. A boss cannot date an employee no matter how much the relationship was consensual between adults.
@@RamblingRob2 as much as some rom coms would like to convince you otherwise, bosses dating subordinates is really bad territory to enter into
@@RamblingRob2 we get it Rob you don't understand consent in the workplace, big shocker there
Fun fact- this sketch was written by Ned's friends from college!
I watched this sketch four times trying to find the joke only to realise that I had always known, it just wasn’t funny
Wow, I didn’t laugh at all, because 3 men stood up for doing the right thing?!? SNL is one hypocritical institution these days. Zach, Keith, and Eugene if you’re watching this, just know there are millions of people that admire how well you handled such a painful situation.
This. ☝🏼
Yeah I also relate when I go founded a company with a known horny man who already flirted with everything that moved during buzzfeed. I support you 3 guys who overlooked that because money was on the line !
You think they did this because they were upset with Ned for cheating? Lmao. They did this to protect their brand 😂

YES
In 2022 we don't call a boss having an affair with a subordinate a "consensual kiss"
what do we call it then?
@@pmendezmerino A violation of HR policy and a liability issue
@ToxicatedLum It can be all of those things: an HR and liability issue as well as a consensual affair.
It's a consensual kiss. Let's stop being so dramatic.
@@YouScareMe1 it was a year long affair, but sure just a "consensual kiss". Why any concern for his wife and children, coworkers, and brand
Oh I see.
If SNL were to acknowledge the real situation they would have a mirror forced in front of them.

As if someone read the cover of the book and tried to write an essay about it, but completely missed the red line.

@@mirandaking1618 oh ned definitely called that guy to tell them they'd be there. ariel seemed very confused though
This easily could have been a funny sketch pointing out that Ned was constantly trying to act like he was completely obsessed with being a husband, or the fact that he seemed kind of smarmy ... instead they decided it was hilarious for men to hold each other accountable in the work place.
No one actually cares about the Try Guys. That's why the fact that it was being treated this seriously is perfect to make a satire of.
@@maximumoccupancy it doesn’t matter if they’re completely unknown or not … it’s the fact they did the right thing and SNL are laughing at them for it like the douchebags they are . If this involves a race issue would they still make a mockery of it ??
There were definitely better (and funnier) ways to make the point of "Who even are the Try Guys and why should we care?" without the agenda of also making the situation look frivolous. You can tell they wanted to make fun of the overarching theme of "who cares? why is this news?" but they just happened to also make it seem like Ned's behavior was acceptable and unjustly punished, which makes it miss the mark to anyone who understands how serious the situation was. The legal ramifications alone make this mean more than just "a consensual kiss [I] didn't tell [my] friends about". I would be willing to rewrite this sketch for a small fee, SNL.
they just could never deal with the possibility of john mulaney not coming back bc of it. its too often that mid white guys who put up a whole act abt loving their wives cheat.
@@maximumoccupancy The try guys were actually rlly popular on youtube and still got millions of views every video… so they werent even irrelevant lmao
Will Stephens was Ned’s old roommate in college at Yale and he wrote this sketch. Hmmmmmm makes you think.
No it's doesn't, Ned cheated, big whoop, the try guys made it more of a drama than it needed to be like little high school girls and the SNL skit captured perfectly how disconnected this drama was to the rest of the world, because more important things were happening than some Internet personality cheating on his wife, like who cares. The try guys still make money regardless doing useless crap so who cares, not the three try guys left lol

3. Just because they made a video to inform their audience doesn’t mean they thought that it was the most important thing
4. A lot of the people following the channel probably care that someone known as a devout husband turned out to be cheating on his wife
5. So they might make useless stuff, but by that logic so does every other comedy RUclips channel and show including SNL
@@crazyman7615 it all boils down to blah blah blah he cheated, they're still making money, if not MORE SO because he cheated because they get the pity clicks of people still bringing it up in the comments

It’s painfully obvious Ned’s friend wrote this sketch☠️
Her name is Alison Gates
Everyone talking about how Ned has ties with the writers on SNL need to know that Alex also has a bestie working on SNL so this was 100% a purposeful hit piece
They didnt need all that about Eugene.. it just sounded like it came out the mouth of some prejudiced 1950s rhetoric.. I'm put off snl now ..
I mean they've done this with other people they imitate you know. Like celebrities. But when they do it with try guys it feels wrong. Probably because of the situation and the whole skit intself. Like the dudes were figuring it out. And their brand just got such a hit. Maybe they came off as shallow or whatever. It can happen.
No. They made fun of how ridiculous this was! Everyone cheats these days and to act like the world should stop for this story…. Well you need to go touch grass
@@Kelly-mi1yz you clearly don’t understand the situation lol. Their entire platform was build on non toxic masculinity and Ned’s (the boss who had a relationship with a subordinate) entire persona was about how much he loved his wife and literally was labeled the wife guy. That’s why it was such a huge issue for their community. They posted it on their RUclips channel to their followers. They weren’t making it for the whole world, but for the people who have followed them since the beginning. Also it’s perfectly okay for companies to fire people for a boss and subordinate relationship. Most of the time it’s illegal within the company and you can get fired for doing so. Very simple.
In that case, they need to tell their friends to become better writers
"SNL Tries to Ignore Their Track Record of Sexual Misconduct"
I guess I didn't realize how crappy SNL was before this.
If I worked for SNL HR, this skit would worry the hell out of me. We’re just going to completely gloss over the power imbalance between Ned and his employee and reduce a several month long affair to a “consensual kiss.” We all know Ned has friends on the writing staff and this only proves that people in positions of power and influence will not hold each other accountable for their actions and attempt to make those holding one of their own accountable into a joke.
SNL HR works overtime to cover up abuse. That’s basically their entire job.
YES.
Pretty sure SNL's HR has been sweeping Lorne Michael's 'consensual workplace relationships' under the rug for years.
Who cares
🤣🤣
yes we should totally be making fun of keith, zach and eugene for being angry at their friend after he essentially ruined their business they took years to build and not the man who had an affair with his employee (sexual misconduct !!!!!) and broke up two decade long relationships, including his own in which he had two children ! ur so right snl
Ive been watching them since the buzzfeed days so the fact that SNL let this slide and a room (most likely) filled with men thought this was funny just shows how atrocious how it brings to light inappropriate workplace relations and i feel like slides sexual harassment under the rug. Everyone needs to remember we domt know the full story with ned and alex cause ned was in a place of power.
Fr. They easily could have made the skit about Ned, but instead they made fun of an incredibly professional announcement that was made to deescalate the situation
didn't get the joke
They are making fun of all these idiots who care about the fucking try guys this much
The joke is that anyone gives a shit about them.
What is wrong with you all? They literally did what you're suppose to do in a business when there is work place misconduct? Maybe you all should acknowledge your own history with work place sexual harassment and assault, SNL.
Preach. They want to normalize this shit so we wont call them out on it when they hide sexual misconduct again in the future
I only clicked on this video for the comment section and I was not disappointed.

HE HAS A WIFE AND CHILDREN
This is why so many sex offenders and abusers go years without being held accountable in Hollywood. They think it’s overreacting when the Try Guys take appropriate action to deal with this situation while they invite people like Kevin Spacey onto the show.
The man cheated on his wife and you are acting like he’s Jeffery Dohmer get over yourself.
Bro, chill. There was no sexual abuse. Kevin Spacey has not been on SNL since his controversy. This is not MeToo, this is a boss having a workplace relationship with an employee. No doubt there's a power imbalance but workplace relationships are discouraged to avoid *potential* coercion, not because it's legally considered sexual harassment.
People cheat, it's part of real life. They'll get over it, people will move on with their lives. In a week, nobody will be talking about this. SNL just wanted to get a quick joke in while the iron was hot. You're acting like they busted Harvey Weinstein out of jail and brought him on stage to grope every female cast member, it's just a joke about an overblown cheating scandal.
@@HerrDurkslag ok so I aint the only one thinking this has been blown out of proportion
@@HerrDurkslag No one said Ned was but we don't know what happened between him and Alex exactly and showing that SNL thinks the whole potential of it being a workplace violation, morally wrong, and against the law kind of shows how SNL reacts to their own workplace violations.
@@HerrDurkslag the point I was trying to make is that the Try Guys are a representation of what it looks like to rightfully hold someone accountable in the entertainment industry. As soon as they found out, they did what was right, before it became a scandal. What Kevin Spacey was doing was allegedly an open secret in Hollywood, and it’s not like he’s the only sex offender/ abuser that’s been given a platform in that space. Ned seemingly had one inappropriate affair with a subordinate and the Try Guys booted him. How many people did famous abusers like Chris Brown, R Kelly, allegedly Horatio Sanz, and so on have to do much worse to before Hollywood took a stand? I’m not comparing Ned to those men, but I’m speaking on the blatant hypocrisy of it all. The reason why people are angry is because this has become a larger issue than just some guy cheating on his wife. Firstly, if someone hurt your favourite creators you might be reactive and protective too. People also know his wife and family from their content together and empathise with them. Secondly, yes unfortunately these things happen, but Ned is a public figure who built his brand on being a non problematic family man, and it’s understandable that the audience he accumulated through that lens feel lied to. Thirdly, and the reason why I commented, is we know that the industry tends to favour protecting people that do less than favourable things in positions of power over holding them accountable, so we‘ve been asking for better. Now that we finally see people in the industry do better, we don’t need SNL coming along trying to ridicule them for it.
the fact that this actually aired and no one ever thought during the creation process "this is too cringe" is embarrassing
There is a war going on in Ukraine, the GOP are scheming to steal the next US election, and climate change is worsening, but ya'll just wanna complain bout how they did the Try Guys wrong.
@don't be surprised I thought it was hilarious
have you seen gen z hospital? snl really doesn't have any quality check
Their primary audience is wine moms on Facebook who think FRIENDS is the epitome of comedic genius, they have no idea what they're doing.
It's SNL.... SNL hasn't always will be cringed that's why it's funny
All I’m saying is SNL would absolutely never have even considered this much acknowledgment of the Try Guys had it not been for SOMEONE’S personal connections
its not only the fact that they completely missed what the whole situation is, its the fact that they are basically saying if someone cheats on their partner its ok? and the people that get mad at them are in the wrong for that??
Yes, you're wrong. Not because cheating is ok. But because you don't know these people. It's silly to get upset about. You should think about instilling boundaries between yourself and content creators, I do it even with content creators who don't.

Cheating on your wife in a public way with someone who works under you is morally wrong. I’m glad the try guys took this seriously and handled it so well.
I just tried to see if the new cast was funny.....turns out they aren't but 5ywy no how to trigger try guy fans

Bet you wouldn't be happy if I hired paparazzi or random strangers to follow and record you until you slip up and then let your employer know and post it publicly for millions to see. Over here acting like you're some perfect buttercup lmfao. I'm not condoning cheating, but go fuck yourself if you think someone should have their life/career ruined over it. It's a personal matter.
Especially when ned made it a part of his brand identity as the "wife guy"
Sure it’s morally wrong but they’re treating him as a murderer… It’s embarrassing how these three males are acting
Try Guys > SNL
Not even diving into the relationship/scandal/misrepresentation of the situation, the simple fact is this skit should never have been made. The scandal was a big deal in Try Guys circles (obviously!), but the only people I see turning it into a media blowout are SNL. I'm assuming that the skit uses CNN because a single Try Guys story appeared as a featured article in their Entertainment category for like a day back when the news broke.
News sites run articles about sexual improprietry in businesses all the time. Try Guys is a fairly large, established RUclips channel (and legal business) with a devoted audience who fired their popular co-founder and head of HR for a workplace relationship. Nothing about this coverage was blown out of proportion as this skit implies. It appeared on their homepage briefly, but it wasn't put up as banner news. If SNL really wanted to spoof a dumb featured story, CNN ran a featured story on Trombone Champ literally the week before.
The debate as to whether the Try Guys overreacted to the scandal or not is completely irrelevant because the central conceit that this is an overblown media story is false, meaning SNL's had to completely fabricate facts and personalities and grossly misrepresent the truth to make the skit work. If SNL wants to do a piece on Gen-Z overreaction, there are so many better stories to target like the Dream face reveal that would be dumber, funnier, and would not involve SNL defending adultery in one of the most toxic ways possible.
I'm not one to spread conspiracy theories, but the fact that Ned allegedly has friends on the SNL writers staff seems suspicious to me given everything about this skit and its circumstances.
Can the Try Guys sue SNL for this? It's clear libel and misrepresentation, at best.
the bar was on the floor for this sketch....and SNL managed to somehow roll right under it
I'd say they tripped on it
2 million views, 32k likes. big yikes
The bar was so low practically a tripping hazard in hell and yet here they are... limbo dancing with the devil
snl will see the bar in the dirt and grab a fucking shovel
they brought a shovel
i don't even watch the try guys, but i found their response to this situation so professional and admirable. this is the first time i've seen any company take the accountability that they did. they were deeply hurt because their long-time friend and co-worker was involved with their subordinate. not only did someone they trusted abuse their power, but this also put their entire company and brand at risk. the fact that SNL is downplaying all of this to be some kind of silly internet drama instead of workplace sexual misconduct is very telling.
@here is the full clip thank you for bringing this to my attention🙏
The writer on this sketch is Ned’s friend!
Ned didn't abuse his power, though. In all likelihood, Alex consented to the relationship. She may have even initiated it. Why I understand the reasoning behind the Try Guys firing Ned, it's still crazy how people are treating Alex as the victim when she is just as responsible for what happened.
@@greywolf7577 Legally, it doesn't matter if she was or not. As a company, they have to cover all of their tracks to ensure she doesn't claim otherwise (that he used his position of power to coerce her into a relationship) and sue for wrongful termination. That's why she hasn't been fired along with Ned.
@@greywolf7577 She is responsible for her actions. She cheated on her fiance of 10 years. No one is saying she shouldnt be held responsible. Its also a fact that women tend to get 100x more hate than men. So stop bringing up Alex as a sad attempt to defend Ned. You obviously dont understand power dynamics. In an older Food Babies video Alex is talking to YB about when she first started working for the Try Guys. She literally said she was a big fan of them. She was in awe, as anyone would around a famous person you're a fan of. Thats the point. She was a fan who became a subordinate. Power dynamic.
