55. I haven't seen the skit
But your description reminds me of O'Reilly's racist rant about the Harlem restaurant where Bill-O is shocked that the black people there 'weren't yelling for their mother-fucking iced tea'.

Yep, snl seems to have forgone the traditional use of satire by exaggerating a personal characteristic/problem/issue and instead opted to go with attributing racial stereotypes to a person of color (whom is not known to have ever used that phrase) as a source of 'humor'. Blech.
