Why everyone is talking about this joke "SNL" right now

In February, the reception of John Mulaney spoke of a rarely referenced change that is now very relevant.


On February 29 episode ofSaturday Night Live, hostJohn Mulaney Makes a joke in his opening monologue on the third amendment that suddenly seems strange. Friday morning, the reports started out of what Washington, D.c. MayorMuriel Bowser hadExpelled 200 National Guard soldiers Who had been brought from Utah to master the protesters of the district hotels. The Mayor's office has not returned a request for comments fromThe Guardian, cornSenator UtahMike Lee Tweeted on the situation and claimed that other states troops also got started. As the validity and legality of the decision are discussed on Twitter, many users raised a reference point rarely referenced in the Rights Declaration: Yep, third amendment.

The exact wording of theThird amendment of the Constitution Bed: "No soldier must, in times of peace, quarantine of any home, without the consent of the owner, or in times of war, but in order to prescribe the law." By Encyclopedia Brittanica, the context of this being included in the Rights Declaration is that, before US independence,British troops would occupy the colonies And sometimes, lodges in private residences, whether or not the inhabitants wanted. This is one of these freedoms that you probably do not think too often.

"The founding fathers were stupid because they made the constitution, and they numbered it, and the order is weird," he said. Acting a conversation between two designers without the name of the document, Mulaney crossed the first two (who are fresh in all our minds), then really participated in the third.

"Amendment # 3: The army can not live in your house," the comedian asked, like Founder Father No. 1.

"Okay, my friend - I think you spend through your own thing in life right now," he replied, like Founder Father No. 2.

Then, to go home, how strange it is to have to assert this right in 2020, Mulaney has told a story.

"And you do not thank God every day for this third amendment?" He joked. "The other afternoon was Tuesday, I was in my apartment and the buzzer rang, and it was the 101st Airborne, and they said," Permission to live in your house? "And I went," third amendment ". And he said," Gentlemen, he invoked the third. Let's do and find another house to live in one thing we do. ""

Seeing that Mulaney is one of the most cited comedians (and same) on the internet at this time, social media immediately established the connection between the obvious call of D.C. Mayor and the joke of the American history of comedian.

"John Mulaney really talked aboutThe third amendment on existence, "A Twitter user said, commenting on one of Lee tweets on evictions." JOhn Mulaneyprepared me for thatNational Guard and Tjewel AagedcontroversialI thought of him immediately, said another.
