I just meant punishing them for being punished. I prefer to leave that unclear. [Translation: I didn’t really think that part through.] Seriously. I am generally more ignorant of SNL than most people. Never been big on sketch comedy for some reason.

No, not at all. Someone has to drag me kicking and screaming into some faint awareness of popular culture.

Ahh, sorry. Almost certainly wasn’t worth your time. Beg pardon! These wacky cave people not understanding natural selection! No problem!

Oh no, I wouldn't beat them or anything like that. (…unless they really were acting under orders, but their flippant attitude really seemed more like they just were going to do what they wanted.) Punishments need to be constructive… and creative. There are way too many people who love to say, “My parents used to beat the crap out of me all the time and I turned out okay!” followed by *glug*glug*glug* before bitching about being fired from every job they've ever had and how their exes and children have permanent restraining orders against them. "Lothar of the Hill People" was a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live back in '89-90, with Mike Meyers in the titular role. https://snl.fandom.com/wiki/Lothar_Of_The_Hill_People It looks NBC has managed to keep it off YouTube for now.
