The people behind CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes are accusing Saturday Night Live of stealing one of their bits.
It happened after this weekend’s episode aired with Reese Witherspoon, where there was a sketch about a Pictionary-esque gameshow where the contestants were asked to draw a sketch of the Prophet Mohammad. It bares striking resemblance to a sketch that 22 Minutes did back in January.
Take a look at the clips:
22 Minutes
SNL
So there are definitely similarities. Â The contestant pleading to pass, the prize amount of one million dollars and how the other contestant guesses the answer even though nothing is drawn.
Really liked the @NBCSNL Muhammed sketch when @jwPencilAndPad wrote the exact same one for @22_Minutes. http://t.co/eoLILk2gIT

Maybe I live in a world where no one at SNL would actually thick that they could get away with blatantly copying a sketch done on a Canadian TV, especially one that is still pretty popular. I mean, it’s not like they maybe copied a random YouTube sketch that no one saw. Â If they had copied the 22 Minutes sketch, there was a really good chance that someone would see both and put two and two together. One of 22 Minutes stars weighed in on Twitter as well:
This has happened a few times both ways but this is the closet I’ve ever seen http://t.co/x3MswM7OMQ

Later, Critch told CBC’s St. John’s Morning Show, “I think lawyers are talking right now.â€
So what do you think? Â Did SNL copy or is it just a big coincidence?
Im grateful for the post.Much thanks again. Really Great.
Major thankies for the blog article.Thanks Again.
Dette er som sagt et Wii U spill, men du har ikke mulighet til å benytte en Pro Controller ettersom du aktivt må benytte deg av berringsskjermen på Gamepad en. Delegeringen av funksjoner til de ulike knappene, er ikke akkurat den mest intuitive jeg har sett, da du blant annet hopper med R, bruker gjenstander med ZL og utvinner ressurser med ZR. ZR er med andre ord den viktigste knappen i spillet, og det er derfor veldig synd at den langsomme responstiden i den knappen gjr graving og hakking til en slitsom og frustrerende affre.
I loved your blog article. Keep writing.
