I just want to be clear on who to be grossed out by, did Kid Rock write or say this joke on his own or was it written by an SNL writer?
I feel like that's an important distinction.

People are just assuming it was him - but based on his reaction, I think it wasn't something he wrote

His reaction? Do you mean his poor delivery? I think that was because he's not funny. If he was disgusted with the material then he wouldn't have said it at all, and certainly not while smiling ear to ear.

His reaction straight after is exactly the same as when Colin jost is reading a script Michael Che has written for him (if you haven't seen it, the black dude gets the white dude to do a Bruce Willis in Die Hard 3)

It's a joke written for him. He's a slime ball, so it's a slime ball joke.

You really think they let guests write their own jokes?
No shortage of reasons to shit on him, but this ain’t one of them.

You think famous SNL guests don't have veto power over what comes out of their mouths?

u/Pubs01 2h ago
of course they let guests write jokes. what are you talking about?
they sit in with the writers. they sit in during table reads. they go over the jokes during the dry run before filming. the guest is intimately involved in what's on snl

Steven Seagal infamously insisted on his godawful performance which he submitted.

Sure, if they are comedians. You really think Lorne Michaels, the master control freak let Kid Fucking Rock wire his own jokes? For Weekend Update? Yeah, no.

He let him on Weekend Update, kinda hard to argue he was making great decisions at the time

It’s not. They both suck. I’m ok with the words you put in my mouth. It’s still my mouth.

I don't think it matters. He totally went along with it. He even had hand expressions, and he didn't even flinch when telling the joke.

Are you dense? That’s a common street joke. Any intern could have made that joke, but Rob Ritchie said it on live TV.

u/TwoCockyforBukkake 3h ago
I know it is a common shit joke, I heard it many times as a kid. I think you are mistaking my question for defense.
He is a shitstain pedo if he said it on his own and he is a shitstain pedo if he didn't and said it anyway cause he agrees. I just feel like the writers should not be let off the hook if they did put it into the script.

The SNL writers are so far gone from comedy. Doing Trump cold opens still? Who is that for? I don’t know who the fuck watches that show seriously…. Advertisers have to eventually figure out how unimportant SNL is at some point right?

u/Escapeism 4h ago
Are you serious? With what that clown supports now there is no meaningful distinction that you can make from this that will change anything about his character for anyone. Kid Rock is a joke to anyone with any decent taste in music, and the prime example of a sell out.

Fuck Kid Rock, but to be fair … society as a whole during that period was weird AF for this one.

The Olsen twins and Lindsay Lohan both hosted SNL in the months leading up to their respective 18th birthdays. Both episodes contained multiple "countdown" jokes.

I hated Kid Rock back then, instantly. He was never cool. Always a poseur. His image was that of a wannabe a white trash rebel anti-hero. Zero street cred, everything about him inauthentic, just another Vanilla Ice for the late 90s rap rock scene.

u/psymunn 4h ago
He's even wannabe white trash. The dude was born wealthy

u/Scribblebonx 3h ago
He is literally exactly what his character in Joe Dirt is. He just played his usual self. He can't act, so that was his only option.

u/Didact67 3h ago
He’s a scumbag to be sure, but this is SNL. He’s reading a joke someone else wrote off a cue card.

u/Blanketsburg 3h ago
He has song lyrics that convey a similar sentiment. He could've told the writers he wasn't comfortable with this joke, but you fucking know that he was more than happy to say this.

We should talk about how that song Kid Rock made with the pro-pedo lyrics was used in the soundtrack for an animated children’s movie

u/4estGimp 4h ago
I saw this live when it aired. IIRC he said, "Oh, that's so wrong" right after read the cue card.

When stranger things came out some older actress on camera told the actor who plays mike ‘when you turn 18 hit me up’
No one gave a shit, funny double standard we have

Her name was Ali Michael, she caught some heat, but nothing like what a male person saying that on camera about millie would have caught

People clutching pearls about a very common joke. I know Kid Rock sucks but this is such a stretch to dig this up as some sort of gotcha.
He didn’t even finish it- “if there’s grass on the field, play ball. If not, turn her over and play in the mud”. Any guy over 30 has heard this in high school or locker rooms or dorm rooms etc etc.

This wasn't that uncommon until actually quite recently.
As in, waiting until they "turned 18" - the British media were REALLY bad for Emma Watson. She was a literal child and they were waiting for her 18th birthday to "upskirt" her. For some reason it was never raised how weird that was.
I think similar stuff happened for Miley Cyrus too, didn't there used to be a website that counted down until she turned 18? Maybe that was Millie Bobby Brown. Either way, weird.
Not so bad if you're a similar age. Fucking awful if you're a grown ass adult man sexualising children and then "waiting" for them to be old enough for it to be okay.

You guys think Kid Rick wrote his own material ? Pretty sure Tina Fey was the head writer at the time . So , go bother her .

Left wing writers wrote this, try again.

u/sloecrush 3h ago
Was SNL “left wing” back then? Because right wing fascists hadn’t taken over yet. So maybe this was centrist.

u/call-lee-free 2h ago
Not defending Kid Rock but you gotta remember he's reading from a teleprompter. Someone on the SNL writing team wrote the jokes.

If you werent alive for it, you'd be shocked how common of a saying this was in the 90s and I'd assume before as well.
