I can't believe this skit was removed, my daughter and I thought it was the most hilarious rendition of the SSB! Maya stayed true to the way all the DIVAS sing it, so where's the disrespect?????????

I thought Maya Rudolph was a riot,this was so funny,sorry it has been discontinued.If you want to express anger toward the singing of the song,why not go after the idiots that sing it this way to begin with.She is only using the material granted her buy them to have some fun.

I agree with everyone who lectured "American Patriot"...for heaven's sake it's a parody not an act against this country. Lighten up! good for you american citizen for the perfect "snap"..that was good...made me laugh...

Disrespectful of the sacrifices made by countless American patriots.

Those considering our National Anthem a point of comedy need to pack up and move to another country. I'll help 'em pack; in fact, I'll bring along some fellow veterans to hasten the process.

BAH! Zero tolerance for those selfish, naive, unpatriotic and cowardly ingrates.

I don't see it as disrespectful. I think the whole parody is about the 'unorthodox' ways that several music divas sing the SSB.

Extremely funny indeed!

You're ridiculous... The point is that THIS REALLY HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BEFORE VARIOUS SPORTS GAMES! If you're upset about this, then why don't you protest the start of every major sporting event on national television

Just because Maya Rudolph is exaggerating what countless singers do to the SSB ( isn't that disrespectful? I'm amazed you didn't complain about that!?), it doesn't necessarily mean that she's purposefully bashing our country's song.

Kinda makes me wonder what you were doing watching this video in the first place when you could have just as easily closed the page. All it takes is one click of the finger.

sheesh. take it easy.

it's not meaning to disgrace the country in any sense whatsoever
just poking fun at the people that do shame the anthem by singing in an overdone fashion.
Take it easy.
Putting too much emphasis on the things that symbolize the country, than on the actual country yourself.
If you actually cared about this country then you wouldn't focus so much on menial things like parodies and being hateful against people that appreciate humor, and you just respect the freedom of speech
Oh snap.

Vote Or Die!
no use replying i probably won't ever come back here.
