High-spirited Weekend Update correspondent Stefon has taken his unique nightlife coverage to Yelp, where it looks like Pete Wentz’s breeder bar, Angels & Kings, “has everything!”:
NEW YORK’S HOTTEST BAR IS ANGELS & KINGS
Although it should be called Angels & Queens! Scandalous!! (Pete Wentz is a giving loverrrrr).
Located in the middle of the fountain in Washington Square Park, this pan-sexual portauthoriparty is the creation of Italian club owner Tranny Hall.
And this place has everything:
Mr. Miagi impersonators, skinny cholos, a jacuzzi of expired milk, a Polynesian nanny who looks like Smokey Robinson…
…and look who just walked in!
Is it Natalie Portman? No! It’s an old Irish Black man we all call “Murphy Brown”!
Plus, if you come on Sundays, you can meet the two year-old Ultimate Fighting champion Drooly Lips Jackson – he’s got fists like little empanadas!
Wait. does this mean GOOOOTH is no longer hot?

I loathe this character. I know he’s a complete fool…just that altogether it’s just another negative stereotype to an audience unfamiliar with the broad spectrum of gay personalities. He’s kinda gay blackface.

@newcityspot: Whaaaaaa? How is he “negative”? Stefon is a sweetheart. People love him. And even though he happens to be gay, the “joke” about Stefon isn’t that he’s gay; it’s that, as part of NYC club kid culture, he’s not in touch with middle-american ideas of fun. He’s just one in a long line of SNL characters making fun of super-specific cultural types.

And you really think American audiences get it as you do? What do you think they see? Remember this is SNL. Who watches SNL?

@newcityspot: I mean … I don’t know *who* watches SNL. I don’t know what the demographics are, if that’s what you mean. I know *I* watch it, and I never saw Stefon as anything but a joke on NYC club kid culture (with a whole lot of sweetness sprinkled in by Bill Hader).
I actually can’t really imagine watching the show if I didn’t feel I got what the various “jokes” were. Maybe some clueless viewers watch a Stefon clip and think, “Huh. Them homos just keep gettin’ weirder n’ weirder.” Or whatever. But … c’mon. Being idiot-proof can’t be the criterion by which we judge cultural items.

I don’t mind camp gay stereotypes as long as a) they aren’t the only/main thing we see on tv and b) the camp guys aren’t also represented as spiteful/bitchy/evil/lying etc. Stefon is actually quite sweet. And I agree that the joke isn’t about his sexuality, it’s about the cultural discrepancy and lack of awareness between urban club-kids and the sort of tourist middle-Americans who you see waving at themselves on that big tv screen in Times Square. I’d like to see the “anti-Stefon” though – someone on the tourist board of a small-town who thinks that a visit to a cheese-making musuem will be everyone’s cup of tea (oh maybe that’s what Parks and Recreation is).

@Esculapio Mitiríades Torquemada de la Cueva: Hehee, darn it boy, I forgot it! DOUBLE burp.
