This SNL skit based on the character from October 1992, a few months after Pat Buchanan's culture war speech at the RNC, went just outrageously hard. Note also the Rob Schneider appearance. youtu.be/pTINF7JjxkE?...
Bob Roberts Book Burning - Saturday Night Live

Pat's speech probably sounds woke now.
Haven't had a chance to discuss Bob Roberts with the class yet, but based on students' responses during the film I think they were pretty blown away by it. Because they had to show up 10 minutes early for an 8:40 class for us to finish the whole film, I brought donuts as compensation.
I still remember “One More Justice.” And yet some people seem to think Dobbs was sudden.
