Saturday Night Live's Jimmy Fallon's 'Cork Soaking'-Bit ... Too Juvenile?

Tweet

(I don't know if Jimmy Fallon wrote it or thought it up or whatever those Saturday Night Live writers do, but it was a skit close to the end of a 'Jimmy Fallon' SNL-special on Vh1.) It started with a group of people being led on a tour of a wine-bottling factory, coming to the end of the tour---the room where they prepared the corks to top the bottles of wine. Prepared by soaking the corks in liquid to tighten them up for the corking process. And that last phrase could be 'part two' of the "cork soaking"-joke (in case you don't get it ... well, you'll get it soon enough). That was the center-core of the 'comedy' of the skit ... 'cork soaking,' tee-hee-hee ... and the rest of the skit was mostly the writers' batting around that pun/double-entendre, seeing how close they could get to the edge of 'censorship' without going over ("this cork-soaker likes `em short-&-thick, this one likes `em long-&-thin, this one likes `em dark ... (most of our cork-soakers are men, but women are the best cork-soakers---this one became the most popular girl in school when she told everyone she's a cork-soaker, this one became an even better cork-soaker when she lost her teeth ... I'm not a cork-soaker, but I dabbled in college...") I think they went a little too ... not 'too far,' but 'too juvenile' when Jimmy Fallon's- & Horatio Sanz's-Italian characters commented on how they each soaked each other's corks in the year that "may be after `68, may be before `70" (giggle-snort) Did that skit help knock Saturday Night Live down a peg-or-two in your book?
