Google’s futuristic eyewear was the butt of a joke on Saturday Night Live this weekend — a response to the “first look” reviews on almost every tech blog.

On Saturday’s episode, the writers of Weekend Update invited fictional tech blogger Randall Meeks and his new Google Glass to an interview with Seth Meyers. The conversation gets super uncomfortable when Meeks begins yelling at his Glass and is outed for watching some adult material.
