Harry Styles pulled double hosting duties on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, acting as host and musical guest. One sketch was notably kinkier than the rest of the bunch: In it, Styles plays a gay, highly sex-focused social media manager for Sara Lee Bread called in to discuss his off-brand Instagram posts from the corporate account.
His bosses, played by Cecily Strong and Bowen Yang (who also co-wrote the sketch with Julio Torres), go through various comments he’s made, like writing “Wreck me daddy” and “Destroy me king” on a photo of Nick Jonas.

“Feeling really depressed after threesome,” reads another post. “What was supposed to be a fantasy ended up more rejection. Must get rid of toxic in community.”
How about we take this to the next level?

The sketch got #SaraLee to trend on Twitter, and fans bombarded the brand’s real Instagram account with similar comments:

Yang later reported that the brand removed the comments, thus eliminating the possibility of Sara Lee becoming “THE bread for f*gs”:
Sara Lee disabling and deleting IG comments wow they really could have been THE bread for f*gs. ?

Sara Lee’s parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA, told the New York Post: “We didn’t participate in creating the skit and its content doesn’t align with Sara Lee Bread’s brand. But, we all know SNL pushes the envelope for laughs and we are taking it in stride.”

Ha. The SNL skit was good.

He was good for host doing both musical and hosting duties. But I think we all learned that he needs to start doing some squats….

Why does he need to do squats? To fit the image we have engraved under the word gay? So he can have a gym bunny physique? Is he not just fine the way he is? We don’t need to worry that others will not tolerate us, we do enough of that on our own. The man looks good as he is, if he want’s to go work out for himself, fine. He shouldn’t do it to fit some image that we have come up with of what makes a gay man, or any other person look good. Enough is enough.

“”Sara Lee’s parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA,””

I always thought Sara Lee was a slut, but it seems unkind that her own company calls her a “bimbo”!

His new song WATERMELON SUGAR is that BOP!! Give it a spin please.

His music sucks. He’s probably in the closet, but at least he’s defending us. At least.

I get the impression that time spent with you is anything but shining….

The dude flat-out said that he’s not “queer” and can’t relate to those struggles. And I’m gonna believe him. Either way, there are far worse pop acts out there. So, just leave him alone.

I thought that the skit was unexpectedly great and I really liked his Watermelon Sugar song.
