Dear Pete Davidson:
You're a comic. I get it.
I know the challenges of writing topical, timely and sometimes dark material for a wide audience. (I did morning radio for years).
But besides being dumb, your recent SNL jokes about Dan Crenshaw’s appearance were technically weak. They were the lowest hanging comedy fruit. Literally, any 2nd grader can make fun of the way someone looks.
And that’s truly what makes you look like an ass. You went cheap.
If you would have bothered going beyond the eye patch, you could have found some witty -- and actually funny -- material.
I talked to Crenshaw last year. We discussed the trademark glass eye with the SEAL Trident in the center. And like almost every veteran I know, he was the first one to make some funny remarks about it. When I asked why he chose to go with a Navy blue eye and a gold Trident, Crenshaw smiled.
“I don’t think there’s another choice … Your real question should be why do you have all those other eyes ... because I’ve got like 8 or 9," he said. "The wonderful thing about having this situation is you gotta make the best of it … it’s an accessory.”
The former SEAL laughingly pointed out how limited men are when it comes to fashion choices, “We’re guys, right? We get a watch and that’s about it.”
Now back to Pete Davidson. I'm going to help you.
But what Davidson forgot is you have to be friends first … and forgetting that is what makes Davidson a lazy comic and his SNL sketch suck.
