We were sure that Joe Biden was one of the good ones.
At the very least, his bromance with Barack Obama was adorable to watch.
But now he’s in the spotlight due to allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women. In short, Biden greets women by doing weird stuff like kissing them on the forehead.
Naturally, SNL couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create a parody around current events. Here’s CNN:
Former cast member Jason Sudeikis returned to “Saturday Night Live” to reprise one of his most memorable characters: former Vice President Joe Biden.
…Kenan Thompson’s adviser character informed the fake Biden that it was about the “touchy, feely stuff.” The sketch follows allegations that the real-life Biden made women feel uncomfortable with the way he touched them.
“I’m a hugger, I’m a kisser and a little bit of a sniffer,” Sudeikis’ Biden said. “But the last thing I want to do is offend anyone.”
Yep, it gets weird. We can’t watch the official SNL sketches here in South Africa, but here’s an upload from YouTube:
I hope you stopped at the seven-minute mark.
If that above version gets yanked off YouTube, you can also watch the sketch here.
Advice for anyone out there who is unsure of how to greet women – a handshake is fine. A quick one. No lingering.
In fact, just to be on the safe side – use your words.
