Saturday Night Lives Michael Che has addressed the criticism around one of his latest sketches.
The latest episode, which saw Tesla CEO Elon Musk make his hosting debut, featured a segment titled Gen Z Hospital that played on the phrases and lingo, derived from AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) sayings, that have gained popularity on social media platforms including Twitter and TikTok. The sketch featured cast members including Melissa Villasenior, Kate McKinnon, Bowen Yang, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Mikey Day.

SNL used the sketch to make fun of popular Internet phrases, but attributed the popular sayings like bruh, stan, no cap and sis to Gen Z and social media users, as opposed to the African American community and AAVE. After the sketch aired on Saturday, many Twitter users called out SNL for poking fun at AAVE.

Che, who created the sketch, on Monday responded to the backlash on Instagram.
Ive been reading about how my gen z sketch was misappropriating AAVE and I was stunned cause what the f**k is AAVE? I had to look it up. Turns out its an acronym for African American vernacular english. You know, AAVE! That ol saying that actual black people use in conversation all the time, the That Damn Michael Che host wrote. Look, the sketch bombed. Im used to that. I meant no offense to the aave community. I love aave. Aave to the moon!

You can watch the sketch at the link. It is pretty dumb tbf

Yeah, Stan is definitely not AAVE. It's a play on an Eminem song.

I thought that sketch was exaggerating. Does Gen Z really speak like that?
Honestly, yeah. The skit was kind of bad, but I've seen and know a fair number of people in their early 20s that talk like that.

Yeah, white people are super weird about AAVE, even on here. They overuse the fuck out of it and they look cringy as fuck doing it. It was obvious he was making fun of those people and it ended up being actually rather accurate.

Che's a fucking hypocrite.

He's constantly talking about how racist Boston is. His grandma died from Covid, and here he is sucking on the rich Covid denying white man's balls.

Fuck outta here lame.

Never heard of AAVE before. Seems odd to attach vernacular to a specific ethnicity, but what do I know?

Im assuming it refers more to things like ax=ask than most of the things in that sketch.
