SNL tackled the serious issue of men's avoidance of medical checkups with humor in a sketch promoting a fictional 'Medcast' service. The show featured engaging details that contrasted the podcast format with medical checkups, such as the presence of Liquid Death cans, enhancing the humor. The technique not only entertained but also prompted considerations on how similar creative ideas could be adopted by real medical offices. This reflects SNL's ongoing thematic exploration of current social trends, particularly the growing influence of podcasts.
Medcast is not a podcast. It's a real doctor's appointment that feels like one.
The small details help make this one really click, from the cans of Liquid Death all over the office to the way the sketch combines the format of a podcast with the expected elements of a regular checkup.
It's not the first time SNL has riffed on the ubiquity of podcasts, but it's made for quality sketches on multiple occasions now.
Maybe some enterprising medical office will see this and be inspired.
