While the show was hosted by Meghan Fox, the Jenny Slate slip is getting all the attention—for the newbie accidentally dropped the [F-bomb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profanity-jam) during her ‘Frickin Bikers’ skit with Kristen Wiig. Apparently, this is only the third time ever that an SNL cast member has said the F-word, or cursed in any way, on the SNL stage! Slate definitely didn’t intend to swear though—you can see from they way she puffed up cheeks afterwards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cursing on Live TV:** Brands can explore opportunities to leverage the unpredictability of live television to create viral moments and engage audiences. - **Redefining Comedy Standards:** Entertainment platforms can push boundaries and challenge traditional comedy norms by embracing raw and unscripted moments. - **Social Media Controversy:** Companies can capitalize on viral controversies by utilizing social media to amplify the conversation and generate brand awareness. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television Broadcasting:** Television networks can adapt their content strategies to incorporate spontaneous and authentic moments that resonate with viewers. - **Entertainment Production:** Production companies can create opportunities for unscripted and unconventional comedy content to cater to evolving audience preferences. - **Digital Marketing and Social Media:** Brands can harness the power of social media to leverage viral moments and spark conversations around their products or services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sketch Comedy Retail Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-lady.md) - [Cheeky Series Star Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbowl-ad-with-aubrey-plaza.md) - [Humorous Profanity Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuck-this-candle.md) - [Blockbuster Shopping Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-friday-ad.md) - [3-in-1 Electric Flossers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slate-electric-flosser.md) - [Empowering Bladder Leak Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-giggle-dribble-campaign.md) - [Cheesy Mayhem Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spokeshand.md) - [French Toast Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jenny-lee-sammiches.md) - [Comedic Streaming Service Livestreams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neflix-livestream.md)
