Why would someone get snarky about Steve Martin performing "King tut" on SNL?

He is one of the funniest stand up comedians i have ever seen and his new show is great. I guess youngsters don't get it. i love his banjo playing too

It's easy to be offended by things that you don't fully understand..
This falls into that category. The majority of the band wagon jumpers weren't even alive back then and don't have a grasp of how things were.

@rebeqa they were saying that he was taking advantage of the Tut display when actually he was making fun of all the hoopla. weird

@DIABLISS Exactly, since they can't grasp how things were, they take such things (Baby it's cold outside also comes to mind) out of context.

@rebeqa how do they take that lovely Christmas song wrong?
