Being spoofed on Saturday Night Live is a time-honored tradition and most politicians -- of both parties -- realize, at minimum, the PR advantages of appearing to be in on the joke.
Not so for White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
At the Easter Egg Roll Monday, Spicer was questioned by CNN about the latest Melissa McCarthy sketch spoofing him this past weekend (see also: "Holocaust centers"). He said he hasn't been able to catch it because, wouldn't you know it, SNL is on very late and he's usually in bed. Also, he's not familiar with YouTube, apparently.
"I'm fast asleep...I’m in bed, get up, go to church the next day, and look ahead," Spicer said.

When the reporter tried to bond with him and noted he gets made fun of too, Spicer cracked, "Well, you deserve to." Hilarious.
To be fair, after the brutal first spoof, Spicer did note that he found the sketch "funny" but also said that McCarthy "could dial back" the impression.
Lol.
Sean, we took the liberty of embedding all of McCarthy's perfect owns into this post. Regardless of bedtime, we wouldn't want you to miss a second of this.
Update 7/21: Sean Spicer resigned, and now we might never get to see McCarthy do this again. For posterity's sake, we're updating this post with her presumably final appearance, below.
