Although the material will have come as no surprise to fans of Glaser’s edgy material on her Comedy Central roast appearances over the years, some viewers found the jokes a step too far, especially since Glaser’s first sketch post-monologue focused on incest.

I mean, they are writing a new show every week. There's gonna be some misses. The fact that they are inconsistent is probably why SNL has produced some of the best comedians and comedic actors for the last several decades - they aren't heavily filtered or forced to produce "the best show ever" week after week. They are able to fuck around, do stupid shit, and see what people find funny - which is the same way every comedian develops a good standup routine.
