‘SNL’s Dog The Bounty Hunter Parody Receives Massive Backlash

Saturday Night Live just kicked off with a brand new season and its Dog the Bounty Hunter parody has angered some viewers. Comedian Pete Davidson appeared dressed up as Dog, and in the skit, it primarily kicks off with poking fun at recent rash school board meetings. Dog then shows up and immediately starts asking when Brian Laundrie is.

Dog has been newly involved in investigating in the search for Brian Laundrie, which has earned mixed reactions from the public. As such, SNL had to take up the opportunity to fit a Dog skit in there for their 47th season premiere.

The Petito family is still in mourning. You’re all sick making this a joke… you POS. Shame on you. Do Better. #SNL #distasteful” Another writes, “Poor taste on this. A young lady lost her life and we make a runaway coward famous. SMH”
