Prominent recurring sketches feature Wanda Sykes as Shirley Chisholm across seven episodes and Harriet Tubman delivering lines echoing the 1619 Project's systemic oppression narrative, like 'We built most of the infrastructure of this country,' turning parody into virtue-signaling lectures on racial grievances. These elements dominate key segments, prioritizing identity politics and flaccid anti-white jabs over genuine humor, resulting in strained, anti-funny comedy that neuters Mel Brooks' original irreverent style. Conservative reviewers and IMDb users decry it as woke pandering, with the diverse ensemble and politically correct constraints compromising the entertainment value, leading to a middling 5.6/10 rating and backlash labeling sketches as soapbox preaching rather than laughs.
