SNL is not only a sketch show that changes from generation to generation it's also a mainstream sketch show, it has to be topical and it has to keep in the viewers so they have to pander to the mainstream humor of today, Andy samberg is a good exmpl of that kinda humor.

His Lonely island humor is part of this new brand of humor emerging nowadays, internet humor.

it's dumb and stupid, it's instant gratification in a Gif, the content is not funny it's just said in a funny way.

Mr show however, focused on a funny idea that is also interesting.
