The following is a list of recurring ''Saturday Night Live'' characters and sketches introduced between September 24, 2011, and May 20, 2012, the thirty-seventh season of SNL. == ''J-Pop America Fun Time Now'' == Michigan State University students Jonathan Cavanaugh "san" (Taran Killam) and Rebecca Stern-Markowitz "san" (Vanessa Bayer) present a campus TV show based on their obsession with, and profound misunderstanding of, Japanese pop culture. Their Japanese studies professor and reluctant faculty advisor (Jason Sudeikis) is less than enthusiastic about the show, pointing out that the hosts are not speaking actual Japanese and are the worst students in his class, but has no choice because he has to be present in order to film the show. When accused of racism, Jonathan points out his Japanese girlfriend (Fred Armisen, who is part Japanese). In an interview with Vulture, Bayer said she did not think the "J-Pop" sketch was racist: We're obviously making fun of a certain kind of person that loves that culture so much and is sort of ignorant about it. That's why we have (Sudeikis ) there to put us in our places a bit. It's certainly not meant to be racist. I hope the majority of people don't think of it that way. Reception to the sketch has been mixed, with several reviewers growing weary by its fourth appearance. Ryan McGee of HitFix said: "I used to love this sketch, but at this point, I would rather see a digital short involving Jason Sudeikis' horrified professor after a taping of this show. I think they've milked this as far as it can go." ''The Huffington Post'' Rob Bricken of Topless Robot called the skit "a 100% accurate recreation of the most obnoxious portion of anime fandom". ;Appearances 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 2011–2012」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
