"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV." Such true words for modern times.

"If you're not traumatized, you're not watching TV"

Funny and devastating at the same time

[MelJennette]

Welp. This was 4 years ago, and here we are today. It’s like they knew.

[jojopemb]

I’ve never seen a single episode of "The Handmaids Tale", but this still made me laugh lol

[babyvia]

I love the fact that they slipped in “80 year old author” because were still doing the same shit decades later

[IAMSLAY]

“Jon controls me and I don’t pay rent”😂

[Annabellethedoll]

I don't know if I should laugh or be sad

[kennedylehane]

“You know, with the ways things are going.” I was dead.

[Nozoki]

And here we are, well on our way to this no longer being parody.

[styx]

“This could be you and your friends with the way things are going” oof too real

[zeroxchild]

It’s Rent controlled
John controls me and I don’t pay rent😂😂

[heysiri]

You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll think, On My God, this could do be me and my friends. You know, with the way things are going.😂😂😂

I’m seconds in and literally cracking up. It’s HILARIOUS Bc this is actually how women have survived throughout world history! We’ve been chattel, told to be grateful for getting forcefully wed and raped all our lives, considered property, not allowed to vote or go to school, etc etc

But always got together and were able to laugh and giggle and gossip and talk about “frivolous, silly, feminine” things.

Then of course that’s seen as weak or stupid, but it’s actually unbelievably strong to be able to do that in the face of dehumanizing adversity.

My rant aside, this is hilarious.

[russelldrew]

Even more appropriate in 2022 than in 2018!

[ChrystinamarieWellington]

This aged so truthfully it's almost an oracle reading 😥

[georockstar]

"Oh my God, this so could be me and my firends,
you know, the way things are going" - lol, I remember feeling that way in 2018! Ugh. Still do...

[chaser]

Gotta say skits with Cecily and Kate have extra quality in them :)!

[Hannah-gccy]

**traumatized laughing remembering all the shit that went down**

[stellabellafontay]

This is the greatest parody of all time. I had no desire to watch A Handmaid's Tale until I saw this and now I am actually hooked on that series. 🤪🍋🤪
