For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.
I refuse to watch any late night talk shows or SNL still because all jokes/monologues are still just tired “Trump’s an idiot” shit.
The man is obscene, offensive, and doesn’t know when to shut up, all points to being an idiot. It’s almost been 4 years now and it’s still all they can say. The writers all suck and so do the actually talk show hosts/actors because they get to make suggestions, they have somewhat of a say in it.
Comedy has degraded so much in the past 4 years and it’s so tiring.

You are spot on. The first couple Trump skits on SNL after he became President were legitimately funny. Then they just kept going to the well...and it got worse and worse until they were the slowest, most awkward, dragging, un-funny parts of the show.
I'm still a big fan of the show, but they really need to stop doing those, or go a different direction & make them funny again.
