So-called comedy shows like “Saturday Night Live” are all in on disparaging former President Donald Trump while largely overlooking the clear cognitive and physical decline of the current president.
That’s apparently not the case in some foreign countries, however.
According to Sky News:
An Italian television show has brutally mocked President Joe Biden’s mental state in a Saturday Night Live-style skit aired on Saturday.
The skit portrayed an actor mimicking Biden, mumbling through a speech, wandering aimlessly, and confusing world leaders’ names.
The skit also included the president singing in Italian and eventually pressing a nuclear launch button, claiming to have forgotten to take pills.
The clip has been making the rounds on social media this week.

Here’s how Newsweek described the Italian skit:
Still, Biden’s previous gaffes played up by Italian comedian Maurizio Crozza, who portrayed the president on the season premiere of his comedy show, Fratelli di Crozza. In the past, the comic has impersonated Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the nation’s late leader Silvio Berlusconi.
However, it was Biden who was parodied over the weekend, with a sketch showing Crozza’s version of the Democrat stumbling past his podium in a state of confusion. As he struggled to stand still, Crozza’s Biden misnamed world leaders and mixed up major historical events.
Crozza’s bumbling version of Biden then picked up and opened a briefcase with a large red button as he explained that he had forgotten to take his pills.
“That’s the briefcase with the atomic codes,” a voice warned Crozza’s Biden. “You’re not alright. This is a big deal.”

Instead of making jokes about Biden, supposed comedians in the U.S. use their platform to carry the 81-year-old president’s water, as evidenced in Monday’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
