Saturday Night Live UK Was Absolutely Filthy-Mouthed, And I Learned This The Hard Way

The SNL UK cast in the "Budger" skit.

A few months ago, I wrote about watching Saturday Night Live with my daughter and how great the experience has been so far. Well, when the debut episode of Saturday Night Live UK dropped on Peacock, I decided that since there was no new episode of the regular show this week, we could see what the new spin from across the pond was all about.

Turns out there’s this thing in the U.K. called the watershed, where pretty much anything goes after 9 p.m. This means the show can have swearing, cussing, cursing, or any other description for foul language on the airwaves. That being said, I was about to find out just how filthy-mouthed the show could be… the hard way.
