Who Had the Better Dating App Parody, 'Saturday Night Live' or YouTuber Ryan Higa? (Poll)

It must be incredibly tough to be a writer for “Saturday Night Live” when everyone online is either a critic or a comic.

But it’s hard to ignore that one of last night’s highlights from the show, a dating app parody called “Settl”…

… was a more straightforward twist on the premise of a wacky viral video from last year, “GiveUpAndSettle.com,” which racked up nearly five million views on YouTube:

It’s funny how “Settl” seems to be closest to Tinder (not being able to swipe left is a feature!), whereas “GiveUpAndSettle.com” hearkens more to those atrociously cheery ads you might see for Match.com or eHarmony during TV’s off-hours.

But who did it better — “Saturday Night Live” or YouTuber Ryan Higa? Vote below to weigh in.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
