The skit features Bill Murray and Phil hartman portraying a bizarre doctor delivering only female babies but with some boys born with ambiguous genitalia, leading to discussions of surgical interventions. The skit highlights themes related to medical procedures involving gender and raises questions about societal attitudes towards such issues over time. The narration reflects on the perceived moral and cultural decline since the era of the 1980s, contrasting past societal values with current trends, and suggests that such controversial topics were once mocked in comedy but are less likely to be addressed humorously today. The piece concludes with reflections on the nostalgic view of past generations and the changes in societal norms. Additionally, there are scattered scripts, logging commands, and advertisements typical of a webpage layout.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In what year did the world last feel sane to you?<\/p>\n<p>To conservatives aged 50 and older, the answer probably falls somewhere in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, a clip of a 1987 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/comedy-gold-snl-takes-2nd-amendment-gets-pretty-much-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d skit featuring Bill Murray as an expectant father and the late Phil Hartman as a mentally disturbed obstetrician with a strange record of delivering only female babies went viral on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snlarchives.net\/Episodes\/?198703218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skit<\/a>, which aired on Mar. 21, 1987, began with Dr. Jacob Hoffritz, played by Hartman, seated at his desk.<\/p>\n<p>A few seconds later, People Magazine reporter Shelley Barnette, played by Nora Dunn, entered the doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>In the ensuing conversation, viewers learned that Hoffritz had delivered more than 4,300 babies in 21 years. Incredibly, they all turned out to be girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, you know, that\u2019s amazing!\u201d Barnette said. \u201cYou know, my assistant back in New York actually calculated the odds of that happening. And it was over 1 in 700 trillion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, no kidding,\u201d Hoffritz replied. \u201cWell\u2026 the important thing is \u2014 knock on wood \u2014 they\u2019re all healthy and happy. I try to stay in touch with as many as I can. They\u2019re like my family. They\u2019re my little girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, Ted Carter, played by Murray, and his pregnant wife Janet, played by Victoria Jackson, entered the office.<\/p>\n<p>The Carters, it turns out, already had seven daughters. Hoffritz delivered all of them.<\/p>\n<p>With Barnette seated on a couch behind the expectant couple, the doctor informed the despondent father that his wife would have \u2014 surprise, surprise \u2014 another girl.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the shocker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoctor, will this one need that operation?\u201d Murray\u2019s character asked.<\/p>\n<p>When Hoffritz replied in the affirmative, the reporter pressed him for details.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d the doctor said, \u201cevery now and then, a little girl is born with a penis and testicles. And, of course, they have to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-admin-moves-wpath-trans-org-responsible-pushing-child-mutilation-puberty-blockers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed and reshaped<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The naive father then revealed that five of his seven \u201cdaughters\u201d had undergone this operation.<\/p>\n<p>Aghast, the reporter continued her questioning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what percentage of the babies that you deliver need this operation?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019d say 48, 49, 50, 51 percent \u2014 in that area,\u201d the doctor replied.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, an adult male named \u201cLouise,\u201d dressed as a nurse, entered the office and delivered reports the doctor requested. Hoffritz then identified \u201cLouise\u201d as one of the first babies he ever delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, after \u201cLouise\u201d and the Carters left the office, Barnette confronted the deranged doctor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Hoffritz, can\u2019t you see what you\u2019re doing here?\u201d she asked. \u201cI mean, the 48-51 percent \u2014 they\u2019re not girls; they\u2019re little boys! You have mutilated over 2,000 little boys!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To signify that the doctor suffered from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deep-dive-trans-politician-tried-harassing-woman-blames-mental-illness-transgenderism-werent-told-trans-isnt-mental-illness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">severe mental illness<\/a>, an angry Hoffritz then slowly collapsed against his desk amid flashbacks from his childhood \u2014 flashbacks hinting at abuse from his mother.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Can you imagine SNL mocking the idea of doctors \u201ctransitioning\u201d kids?

In other words, it wasn\u2019t funny at all.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the fact that this skit aired in our lifetimes no doubt has older conservatives longing for a saner era.<\/p>\n<p>Every generation, of course, experiences something similar. Aging produces reflections on one\u2019s youth, and the reality behind those reflections often appears sanitized, cleansed of its grubbier elements.<\/p>\n<p>Still, for the generation that came of age in the 1980s, wistful memories of that era should carry more weight. After all, those memories illuminate not our virtues, but the virtues of those who came before us.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, as a young teenager in 1987, I felt that the world was in good hands, not because one day my generation would inherit it but because President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-johnny-carsons-reaction-reagan-shooting-goes-viral-trump-targeted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ronald Reagan<\/a>, my World War II veteran grandfathers, and others of that incredible generation were in charge of things.<\/p>\n<p>After Reagan, something changed. You could feel it even if you could not necessarily describe or even understand it.<\/p>\n<p>In hindsight, of course, we can now see that the emergence of President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/epstein-file-photos-give-powerful-reminder-bill-clintons-scandalous-past\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Clinton<\/a> and others like him had signaled the rise of a more self-indulgent generation, one that knew nothing of the sacrifices of World War II and the Great Depression.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, only in a society marked by self-indulgence could something as monstrous as transgender ideology take hold. And that explains as well as anything why we would never see the equivalent of that awful-yet-revealing SNL skit on television today.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
