...unfortunately everybody else running sucks as well...
-
Can I go back to bed now....ZZZZ
-
...what SNL really needs is a guest shot from Dana Carvey.
BRING BACK MASSIVE HEAD-WOUND HARRY!!!!! -
...bring back "Attack of the Masturbating Zombies"
...just do something... anything... that isn't a knock-off of a talk show. -
Fucking sweet.
-
Good to see that someone else remembers this. Of all the crap recurring characters SNL has recyled over the years, why we only ever saw Harry once is a mystery to me.
Other than that, I simply, as always, hope for cleavage. Becaue I'm PATHETIC, that's why! -
I know the show takes alot of crap, but no matter what, I'm a fan. On Entertainment Weekley's website, they say that 30 Rock writer Donald Glover has a very good chance of playing Obama tonight. Guess we'll just have to see who gets the part.
-
...I think MASSIVE HEAD-WOUND HARRY may have only been done once because the dog in the sketch ate the head wound make-up application right off of Carvey's head. He very nearly laughed out loud. It was so funny, it actually improved the sketch rather than ruin it.
I do have to give some credit to the Falconer sketch. It's not that funny; but atleast it's something different. -
A) Mike Huckabee will show up in a sketch. The real one.
http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/02/20/huckabee-to-make-guest-spot-on-first-snl-since-writers-strike/
And CNN reported it on-air this morning.
B) Maya Rudolph is not on tonight's show. Her contract this season was temporary, and expired during the writer's strike. Lorne Michaels is trying to get her back. Meanwhile, there's a new cast member to take over the empty slot: Upright Citizen's Brigade member Casey Wilson.
http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/20/maya-rudolph-wont-be-on-snl-this-weekend/
C) The source on that blog post, a NY Post article, notes that they were holding auditions for Obama.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02202008/tv/barack_alike_98422.htm -
I meant to note: auditions for people outside the cast to play Obama.
-
In order to suck you must A. Be the first one to post on this thread. B. Be the second one to post on this thread and C. Have your name be Jimmy Rabbitte.
And has anyone ever liked the Falconer? What they need to do a Rush Parody, or Hannity and O'Reilly. Get back to the political humor they have forgotten about, but used to do so well. -
...you ignorant slut...
Obama *does* suck... perhaps the whole living in denial thing is what's making you so cranky. I'm sure your mommy is looking forward to your nap time today. -
How can ya not use him during an election year?

And please, !deity!, have Kristen Bell host the April 19 SNL.
by pennsy
As Forgetting Sarah Marshall starts to slay any opposition at the box office the day before.
-
He's in New York this week. Just did Letterman. And he has a hilarious bit part in Tina Fey's upcoming film Baby Mama. My prediction is that he shows up in some capacity tonight. Should be a good show. Love me some Fey. And that wasn't always the case.
-
This will probably be the most she ever appears in a single episode.
-
...with Bill Hader starring alongside her in Sarah Marshall, there's a pretty decent chance it could happen.
-
Come on, he's hilarious, could use the work, and you will not find a better Obama.
-
Hadn't thought of him until tobias (any movement on that movie?) mentioned him.
-
...what's the holdup with Brandon Hardesty? Sign the kid up.
-
Tina Fey is partially responsible. What a worthless cunt.
-
"I'M BARACK OBAMA, BITCH!"
"UNITY! HOPE!"
I am going to enjoy watching this guy get his ass kicked in the general election, if he makes it that far. -
...McCain will take his slimy cunt back to his evil overlord, Bush. McCain will flogged publicly like a belligerent youth in Singapore, and then he will wander around in a senile haze before eventually collapsing from fatigue, and pacifying himself by wrapping his lips around Dubya's greasy member and drinking down his manmilk chased with some Pepto Bismol and Ambien.

Obama does suck. So does SNL unfortunately. Ron Paul does not su
by zaprudereye
Take some time out today to read some of Ron Paul's papers he has written and you'll see why he's your only real chance for any real kind of "CHANGE"
-
she makes my wiener hard. As for funny ? Not so much. Now Tracy Morgan ? That guy's hilarious. Not in SNL skits, but in real life. What a lunatic.
-
was the Paulpeil Slice-O-Matic. It sliced and diced.
-
Case closed.
-
fundamentalist Christian, hate mongering asshole who actually spent some of his time yelling at the audience and insulting Guardian Angels from NYC when he was on the Morton Downey Jr. Show. He published a racist newsletter for over 20 years and then claimed to "not know" he was profiting from hate speech.
He says he wants to leave abortion, prayer in schools, and creationism in schools "up to the states", but that's just a pussy way of saying "I know the red states will vote my way on this."
The stupid fucker couldn't even get enough anarchists, bigots, racists, and naive hippies (who only like him because he wants to legalize drugs) to get anywhere NEAR the nomination. And you probably want him to run as an Independent, right? Sure, because LOOK at all the support he got in the primaries... He almost has enough delegates to start a basketball team!
Ron Paul is not a liberal, and he's certainly not a true libertarian. He's barely a conservative, but does match them when it comes to some of his xenophobia and catering to the radical religious elements.
Read the papers Ron Paul has written? You mean like the bill he authored that attempted to define life as beginning at the moment of conception thus making it a capital crime to have an abortion for ANY reason? How about the 20+ years of bigotry and racism from the newsletter that bore his name, was signed by him, and earned him a profit? Or maybe you're referring to the personal letters to great guys like David Duke, thanking them for their support. There's more, too. The guy's a slimeball, but for some reason his cultish followers look past (or forgive, or deny) every evil thing he has done, every major flaw, and every moment of batshit craziness because "He's for freedom" or "He wants to legalize drugs" or "He will get rid of taxes" (oh, yeah. That's a good idea. Enjoy driving on dirt roads, idiots.)
The naivety from the Ron Paul followers is pathetic. It's embarrassing. That you'd let a hate-filled, racist, theocratic fuck like Ron Paul lure you like the Pied Piper just because you *believed* that piece of shit "documentary* "Zeitgeist" is just unbelievable. But that's what drives people to Paulism-- Fucking "Zeitgeist", which is largely unsubstantiated, provides very little or no proof for most of its claims, has been disproved on many points, and insists that we're all in trouble because the Rockefellers want to put RFID chips in our bodies so they can control us.
The Rockefellers DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU. Nobody cares enough about what you do to bother chipping your sorry ass.
When you really get down to it, the Ron Paul camp is made up of conspiracy theorists wearing tinfoil hats, easily brainwashed people looking for a cause, potheads who don't care about politics but like the idea of legalized weed, racist organizations that like Paul's neo-Confederate ideals, anarchists who just want to fuck everything up, and naive dimwits who don't actually study the candidate they're following but listen to the crowd around him like the mouth-breathing followers they are.
FUCK Ron Paul. He's not only going to lose the nomination, but he's going to drag the Republicans down with him if he runs as an independent. He's the Republicans' Ralph Nader. Enjoy him.
As for me, I'm a liberal and a patriot and proud of it. We don't have room in our government for hate mongers like Ron Paul. His time is over. He should retire to his mansion in Texas and burn some crosses on his own lawn for a change. -
I love the massive headwound Harry reference, but making 4 of the first 7 posts (including a blank one)? Consolidate.
P.S. I've revoked your license for using "..." until further notice. -
that Tim Meadows is hilarious? You gotta be kidding me.
-
When they'd have the writers in the audience as "plants" during skits. She's glammed up quite a bit since then.
-
Ever since the beginning of SNL back in 75 everyone said it sucked. Then it started with "It hasn't been funny since Chevy left", then "It hasn't been funny since the original cast left", then It hasn't been funny since Eddy Murphy left". Don't forget when Will Ferrell was at his height everyone said "It hasn't been funny since Chris Farley, and Adam Sandler". Now everyone doesn't like this crop, but in 8 years we will all be saying it hasn't been funny since Bill Hader and Andy Samberg. So everyone just shut up and enjoy what you got, because no matter how much you bitch, this show is not EVER going away.
-
He should have stayed as a supporting member. Lately the cast has gotten better but there's stil a few stragglers they need to get rid of.
-
If the kid wants to "..." let him "...". And I'm sure Herc enjoys that extra $2.79 per post. ;)
-
You're a douchebag of the highest degree. It's pathetic that fucking facist pricks like you still insist that Obama is some sort of secret muslim despite the fact that he's actually a christian. If you want to advocate for a candidate, do it on the issues, and leave the baseless xenophobia out of the equation. Otherwise, fuck off dickhead.

nuff said....and while it took time to warm up to bill murray, no one was saying that the show wasnt funny without chase...just the news...after the original not ready for prime time players left, the show has gone down hill significantly....this generation may enjoy the show, but lest we forget, they are making movies like meet the spartans for the current crop of teens and twenty somethings....i rest my case
-
the professional conservative bloggers are already out in force bashing Obama.
-
I don't see it. SNL is lacking in impressionist lately. No one on the current cast could do a good George W. either. At least they Darrell Hammond and Amy Poehler to play Billary. I say bring back Dwayne Johnson to play Obama, he sounds a lot like him.

When things are different then that's change. When you hope for change, then that's change we can believe in. When you believe in the hope, then you change. When you believe in change, then that's hope we can change for.
-
Frank Caliendo maybe chubby, but damn does he do an amazing Bush. No one currently on SNL can do President Bush. Will Ferrell could though. I'm surprised Lorne hasn't cast Frank Caliendo on SNL. It's a no-brainer.
-
And he's not muslim, I can't believe that's people still think that.
-
Weekend update will star with Amy and Seth Meyers, but Tina Fey will show up and tell Seth to scram and the crowd will cheer.
-
Preach it, brother!
-
the blackface would be weird though.
-
No Caliendo or Ferrell, but miles better than Forte.
-
Very top notch job, sir.
-
of John Edwards. I think it has something to do with his huckleberry hound accent, but I'm not sure. I mean, Bush's accent never bothered me so much and yet Edwards's voice does. Go figure...
-
But as a conservative, I gotta say... we don't like him either! I'm not sure what he is, but it's definately not a conservative, I have no idea what he's doing trying to run as a republican. He's a fucking loon! Finally, liberals and conservatives can agree completely on one thing, Ron Paul is a freaking lunatic!

"...I guess he smells MY dog!"

I got in on the ground floor of the "SNL Sucks" movement...
by burnhollywood
During the first live broadcast with George Carlin, I started groaning that the rest of the show would never be as good as his opening monologue, and that the show was in decline. I stand by that assertion. The rest of you are all playing catch-up!
-
I don't follow the line about Javier Bardem's character getting a job at Target. Did I miss something?
-
None of them can do remotely decent impersonations except Darrel Hammond, if he is even still on the show. And you know what? It wouldn't matter because the skits would no doubt be pathetic anyway. The comedians that are even half way decent leave in a few years to pursue annoying movie careers. They don't deserve it like most of the talent that came before did.
-
him and the Keebler Elf (Dennis Kucinich) were the only two presidential hopefuls that ran on their ideals. You know they wouldn't compromise them, or deviate from them, regardless of what you thought about them. It's very sad that there are only two candidates like that.
-
you can't assume to know the positions of the other candidates, because they are subject to politics, not personal beliefs.
-
Is that's in direct conflict with her next movie, 'When in Rome'. She might be filming there around that time as it's scheduled to begin at the end of next month. If they hold back the Rome shoot until the end of production and film the NY stuff first, then she could be available to do it. Also, New York ComicCon is happening that weekend at the Jake (4/18-20), which I already have a 3-day pass for. We'll just have to wait and see what happens as the convention's program is still a ways off from being announced.
-
Overrated indie crap
-
No matter how sucky it gets.
-
1: Ron Paul is indeed, the Republican's Ralph Nader. And for that, God Bless Him.
2: Tina Fey is funny, smart, and very erection-positive.
3: Obama does not suck. He sure talks slow and he's got a funny name, but the guy came out of law school with everyone telling him that he was the golden boy, that he could write his own ticket, wealth, fame, etc., and he said: "Really? That's awesome! Now I'm going to go over here and work with underpriviledged people for the next ten years or so. Thanks anyway!" Yeah. he's a real dick.
4: SNL does suck.
5: The world needs more conservatives who are capable of believing that all liberals aren't cowardly douchebags.
6: The world needs more liberals who are willing to shut the fuck up for 5 minutes and listen to conservatives. At least the ones who actually have something to say beyond "All liberals are cowardly douchebags".
7: Tina Fey is hot. Worth saying twice. -
Maybe Obama should play Obama? just a suggestion...
-
Can someone PLEASE upload the Stylvester Stallone Orange Julius skit somewhere?
-
people are begging for shitty impressions? Why not WRITE something FUNNY that doesn't require an exact replica of a cable news set while an actor is forced to say "I'm ____" every three minutes so you know who they're pretending to be.
-
and yet I'm for Obama. The reason is simple: he has better character than McCain. Yes, McCain is a heroic figure, but I also find he is too mean-spirited, too entrenched in DC establishment, and a bit deceitful in reguards to his recent, convenient, about-face on certain key positions.
-
The Stallone computer store/Orange Julius sketch is pure fucking gold. Stallone was hilarious as the geeky former orange julius employee and Will Ferrell did a great job in a rare straight man part. "Wilkomen Orange Julius. It's a dream come true!"
-
On MSNBC earlier this evening, they reported that Huckabee is going to be on SNL tonight. The REAL Huckabee. Not someone performing him. Would this clown please stop making so many appearances. If he is looking to become VP under McCain, he should learn to stop being a nuisance and back down. I liked him before he became such a media whore.
-
Or really, the general reaction of republicans in reguards to McCaine, is that the moderates, and many conservatives, were tired of Bush and his attitudes and yet chose someone who is, in essence, bush squared.I still am rather annoyed at the republicans this year. Conservatives disliked Giuliani because the guy wasn't conservative enough on a few issues: gun control, abortion, the fact that new york was a "sanctuary city," and that he was cheating on his previous wife. Overlooking the vast ammount of positives that the guy has AND the fact that the requirements in a city are different than in other areas, they chose McCaine, someone who is even less conservative and has been married three times. Indipendents felt Giuliani, due to his perceived baggage didn't think he was electable and instead choise McCain, whose negatives are almost as high as Hillary Clinton. Oh well, I guess that's my political rant for this year.
-
hell yeah, do you know anywhere to actually find the video? I cant believe it's not up anywhere. It's gotta be up there in funniest SNL skits ever.
-
And fuck Ron Paul. He's nothing a but a neoconfederate sucsessionst. Ron Paul said it was a mistake to wage a war to end the brutal institution of slavery. And he takes money from White Supremecist groups. Fuck him.. The Obamasaurus is coming to town!
-
...you don't have to be the same ethnicity (or even gender) to play someone.
-
So no, you don't have to be the same ethnicity. Gene Wilder with Richard Pryor was fucking Hillarious in Stir Crazy, and many more:)
-
He's a very angry, angry man. I respect the hell out of the guy for serving our country, but that's not enough to justify running it. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that a Dem will win, no matter what. I just hope it's Obama rather than Clinton. Although I disagree with most of his policies, I think he honestly is trying to do the right thing (at least as he sees it), can't fault anyone for doing what they think is right. Clinton however just wants power for power's sake.And Emit Brown, the reason Huckabee is all over the media is because interviews and appearances are very low cost. His campaign doesn't have remotely the money the other do, so he's just using what's available to him. He's defiantely not going for the VP spot, if so he would have backed down along time ago. He's gunning for 2012 right now.
-
Did SNL. You know, before he got all shitty. Wasn't SNL supposed to be his show original or something?
-
I'm hoping for a return of Tim Meadows. Or at least an appearance of Leon Phelps endorsing Obama. There has to be at least one skit about women passing out at his rallies. Ladies Men have to stick together :-)
-
Cause she's the only female on the show.
-
Are you AICR'tards? Who gives a fuck who is going to play the next Hussein? Come November he will go the way of the Kerry's (except that he won't be the MALE recipient of a democratic nomination) and just be another lame Democrat who can't fucking grow a pair of balls and stand for something. Dumb America is the biggest voting population and they love Nam and the only way John McCain could even more secure his post as W's successor was having a cameo in Rambo. Allah be praised if I am wrong but you left wing ugly girl from Juno, AK loving homonerds need to get used to another 8 years under Dick Cheney's iron fist. Lets just lit some incense around our Shiva statue and hope that Liz Lemon is no Molly Shannon and actually turns out to be funny. Also that America's next Adam Sandler has a digital short half as funny as his last funny short since Lazy Sunday, Iran So Far. P.S. "I drink your milkshake"
-
Really? Only female on the show? SNL has pretty much been run by females the past (2) years. The fat fellow from Good Burger does not a funny show make.
-
I mean it, spill your seed upon the ground.
-
Cause Raul is comedy gold.
-
He's still a little bitter.
-
The color's off.
-
Too bad Hammond can't do everything.
-
He looks damned good. I'm sure with more time he'll nail his vocal impression.
-
Jesus. They should've just let Fey do it.
-
That guy was terrible. TERRIBLE.
They did much better with Hillary Clinton, which was the only bright spot in the whole shitty opening segment. -
I. Will. Fire. On. Those. Klingons.
-
And who was the new chick???
-
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
Casey Wilson.
-
upright citizens brigade. though casey looks hot. but they should just put the whole upright cast and like horatio sanz, tracy morgan, dana carvey and bob odenkirk. than you'd have a show.
-
Make this shit a regular sketch.
-
TOO INTENSE!! TURN IT OFF!!
-
But the skit was actually fairly smart. Maybe they could get a real honest to god black guy in the cast. Not that he'd make a better Obama, but man that's one white ass cast. Asian? Latin? Hello?
-
This could be good.
-
That guy was a natural - he should be a regular cast member. I think it would be hilarious to see an old guy pretending to be young. That would be at least one laugh, something SNL can't always manage to deliver from one skit to the next.
-
...I said "could be".
-
Like, ask her on a date, kind of things.
-
I'm glad having Wilco on next week will cancel out this shit.
Watch that Nels Cline next week folks, he's a gee-tar badass. -
Man, so far it looks like the writers really DID have their pencils down for the whole strike.
-
... all the AICN trolls come out to play. Been quiet under that bridge? :)
So funny. So many haters on this SNL board. Always. Yet you flock to it predictably, week after week, like Michael Jackson after a 10 year old boy.
(The obvious reply to my post.... "What's that bitch talking about?" =P) -
JUST WON'T LEAVE!
-
Mr. Entertainment!
-
Bravo. (in my Trump voice)
-
If you know what I'm sayin'
-
You can sadly tell nobody's seen either movie.
-
His Plainview impression is terrific, too bad it seems no one in the audience has seen There Will Be Blood to get the joke.
-
Wow...Tina Fey's endorsement and dumb as fuck rant supporting Hilary "Hil-dog" Clinton was beyond retarded on Weekend Update. I'm glad her smug and unfunny sense of humor is not regularly on SNL anymore. On another note, the "I Drink Your Milkshake" sketch was great.
-
I have no idea why, but that was fucking hilarious.
-
We are one!
-
Oh god I've become everything I hate...
-
god that skit sucked.
-
We are one!
-
Typical SNL skit that starts with good potential and goes absolutely nowhere...
-
So what's the scoop on Maya not being there tonight? Anyone?
-
Never when she was on SNL did Tina get quite as obviously political and biased. For a second, I thought the show had switched over to Lifetime. And, if I don't vote for Hillary, it won't be cuz she's a woman.
-
How dumb.
-
Man Tina really trying to push St.Hill first the opening showing how "unfair" the MSM is to Hillary and then stinking up Weekend Update with that pathetic plea for Her.
But She did get one thing right..Hillary is a Bitch! -
hilarious
-
And he's still the man. I guess Conan's announcer will get his gig when he retires....or kicks the bucket.
-
Either that or the guy will turn 91 before he finishes blowing out 90 candles!
-
The opening was totally weak...and whats that bitch saying segment wasn't very rich, but the non country music portions of the show fuggin ruled otherwise. tina fey was dead on as Daisy from Rock of Love despite it going on a bit too long, but having done without fresh fart jokes for a few months...slideable. What really took the milkshake for me was Hader as Plainview. Hader needs his own show cuz he blows that Frank TV dude out the water. Fey was all passionate about Hilary and I love her for it. Being a quarterlifer dude still kickin' it for Hilary round Chicagoland is a rarity anymore. Hilary and Fey are where it's at when intellectually considering the best runner. Fey & Poehler 2012!
-
I dunno if I'm gonna vote for him yet or not, but aside from Iraq, he's got a lot of moderate ideas in him. And jeez, guys, calm down about Ron Paul. He hasn't got a chance in Hell of winning, and I didn't think he had much real support. To some people who don't know that much about him, he just seems "honest" and "maverick", but I can't imagine him gettin' many votes.
-
Okay, Casey Wilson, Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig were COMPLETELY hotter than all the "Rock of Love" chicks they were spoofing! "What's That Bitch Talking About?" and Fey's pro-Hillary rant ("Bitch is the new black!") and Old Folks DVDs were highlights. Time to "fire" Darrell Hammond's Trump, though. Can't satirize a walking satire...
-
I love the bizarro shit like that. There was absolutely nothing about it that made any sense, and it was my favorite thing they did all night.
-
Dude, there wasn't a joke to get. He just spent the whole skit saying a few of the catch-phrases over and over again. Great impression, but incrediby shitty skit.
-
That Apprentice Sketch kept getting better and better
-
Enjoyed the fuck out of "I drink your milkshake". I missed the first 10 minutes, did they add a new female cast member?
-
...was there to like about the "Milkshake" sketch? It was a good impression, but it was a long and repetitive excuse to say that one line over and over again. I prefer clever.
-
I know that's not saying much but it was a good one.
-
would not be funny at all if you haven't seen "There Will Be Blood", and even if you have, it may not be funny. I just adored the movie to death, and that's obviously affecting my opinion of the sketch, but never the less, I enjoyed it, and it's always nice to see Hader do another spot on impression. And a minor dig at Juno is never a bad thing. For those that hated it, it didn't air in the first half hour due to the very reasons that you hated it.
-
........thats funny, is that he has MORE money then trump would know what to do with in a lifetime. honestly, they guy co-wrote "rock and roll all night", now times that by all the drunk college fucks downloading the song by 50, and then take into account the KISS army and then realise that gene could buy and sell trump like the bitch that he is...........
god love capitalisim......... gene simmons is GOD, trump is a wig-wearing BITCH!!!! you better check your self, before.....well you know. -
I've seen the movie. I just don't really find it all that clever to just repeat a few lines from the movie over and over again. Impressions for the sake of impressions has been one of the weakpoints of SNL for the last several years. If you're going to use a celebrity impersonater, put them in a sketch with a point besides just doing the impression.
-
Man, that show is filled with douches.
-
The hot air balloon sketch was the only really funny thing on all night. I haven't watched the show much in the last 5 years, is Wiig always that funny?
-
if only for the bit about him abandoning his son.
-
trump doesnt wear a wig...he just makes his hair look like that...for the same reason that bob guccione used to make his hair look like he was wearing a toupe'...its about making the everyman feel like he has something in common with these guys...also, simmons genius is in marketing...he is the smartest man in rock, and copywrighted everything connected with kiss...my god, the man sells kiss coffins...i was shocked that he wanted to go on the aprentice, he isnt very good at suffering fools...i was hoping that he would go after the born again baldwin and scare the jesus out of him...but that never happened....bummer
-
Fuckin' A, bitch! (and I mean that with all due respect) Tina Fey rocks and we missed you! Much love and props!
-
SNL and NBC went around and made youtube remove ALL their content, including early stuff you could only get on youtube. Want to get a fix of "SNL commercials" on your lunch hour at work? Too fucking bad. Then they replace them with the shit-lamest "digital shorts" like "Lazy Sunday". Fuck them, and fuck SNL. If they don't want me to see their content, guess what? I won't bother.
-
Maybe I'm mistaken, or what I've gone and read was wrong, but I could have sworn the Civil War was fought to maintain the Union, not end slavery. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that..."
On leaving the issues up to the schools: the red states might do it one way and the blue states might do it another. Your way of doing it means it's all or nothing. Either the blue way or the red way, depending on who is in the Presidency and has a hold on Congress.
Looking at Ron Paul's primary totals ... think of it this way, if every candidate had equal time on tv, at the debates, I think it'd be a different story. I like Joe Biden. I disagree with his policies. But I certainly think he was swept under the rug. Huckabee only caught on because the MSM decided to put him in front of the cameras.
Another issues. Delegates. Most are bound through the first round of voting, if no one hits the magic number they're free to choose. It's a different ballgame then. And on the Democratic side, MOST delegates are NOT bound to vote according to their state primary's results. So all the numbers you're getting of how has what between Obama and Hillary ... that's wide open.
Scientically, if single celled organisms are 'alive' you can argue with science that conception creates life. Now, at least with Paul, he then says "it's up to the states to decide what to do with that". Maybe Alabama makes it a crime. Maybe California doesn't. I find it ridiculous that fetuses have rights, inheritance being established at conception, you can be charged for murder of that fetus if you kill the mother ... but that it's not considered a life when it comes down to abortion.
That's one of the beauties of leaving things to the states. If the federal government fucks it up, all 50 states suffer. If each state has to do it there own way, say healthcare, some states might fail, some might have huge success. Then those states that failed take on that successful plan. Federal level, you get No child Left Behind. And that failed all 50 states. Maybe you left it to the states and half had successful programs. The other half would have adopted them. And as states improve their plans across the board, the better plans get picked up and the failing plans get left behind. At the federal level, you get all or nothing. Whatever 'universal healthcare' turns out to be, it'll be the same for everyone. Maybe a huge success, maybe a huge failure, maybe somewhere in between. But that's a 220 billion annual gamble. The more local the government, the closer that area reflects the people that live there.
What evil things has Ron Paul done? My understanding of the Newsletter business was that, during those years, he was working in his medical practice (where he treated people on government-paid healthcare for free) and wasn't as closely associated with the operation as he was in the past, trusting his publishers with the content.
On taxes ... trillion a year from the income tax. cut a few hundred billion on foreign military operations ... 50 billion defending South Korea, 30 billion for being in Japan, etc ... cut off the forced donations we're being made to countries all over the world. Cut off FREE medical care and education for people who are not citizens of our country and don't pay taxes (non-citizens in California, in 2007, cost them roughly 14 billion). Now your lowest income and middle class aren't paying taxes. Maybe then they can afford health insurnace. Or have the freedom to donate their money where they believe it shoudl be used. Let them use their money to combat poverty if they choose. Or let them spend it on bling. It's their money, they earned it. If you got rid of the income tax, we'd be at the spending levels of a decade ago. That's not too bad. We still had roads then, right?
And don't forget, this is FEDERAL income tax. Some states have an income tax. I'm pretty sure states deal with road maintenance, right?
Who do you want, Obama? Clinton? You want me to pay for the healthcare of someone in Alabama? We're already paying for the healthcare of people in Mass. because Romney's plan now requires federal funding to be maintained. The problem with this theory of collective responsiblity advocated by 'liberals' is that it's forced. It's collective responsiblilty at gunpoint, because we don't have a choice. We're forced to pay for farm subsides. We're forced to pay for corn ethanol production that drives up the price of wheat and isn't even the most efficient way to produce ethanol. so all of you collectivist mongers who sit on your hands waiting for your entitlements to come and not acting on your own to make the differences you seek, you can collectively suck a cock. -
and I totally forget to watch SNL. Damnit.

I was hoping for something great from SNL with such a big election, but that was as bad as its ever been. "I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul!"
-
...has made me realize how slimy the Clintons are. They are political animals, through and through, and they will say and do anything to get power. I liked Bill when he was president, but his lust for power and the limelight, even if its on the coattails of his wife, is showing his ugly side.
-
I actually thought it was pretty hilarious. Maybe there wasn't that much substance to it, but Hader's Plainview voice is so fucking good that I guess I overlooked that. In contrast, yes, Armisen's Chigurh was awful, but overall great sketch. And I'm really really glad they threw in that Juno joke, not because Fey really tried that hard, and it's not like it was a hard joke to make or anything, but a welcome joke at Juno's ridiculous dialogue.
-
Too bad she burned off the opening sketch and half her Weekend Update cameo on p*l*t*cs. The only think that sucks worse than p*l*t*cs are arnusses that discuss p*l*t*cs in public forums.I'll miss Maya once I notice she's gone, but the new girl has nice boobies.and yeah, "Balloon Rides" was a pretty cool surreal non-sequitor, while Milkshake was just a catch phrase that isn't actually funny.I hope Amy's one-legged skank had something soft to fall on, because if that wasn't planned it couldn't have been better times.Instead of Celeb apprentice for a moment I held out hope they'd actually spoof that sit-com crap national shows on Thursdays. Right, like Fey's do self-parody... Not! (See what I did there, I used an old SNL catch phrase.)So they still get Darrell Hammond to fly up from Florida once a week just to do one sketch? Can't they just pay him to retire?By the way, other than her Hillary rant, the rest of Fey's Update stuff was great.and the one period a year but it's a killer ad has a classic - much better than that digital underwear thing about making a video for grandpa.And Tina's monolog discussion of what the writers settled for was brutal: they wrecked a TV season for that? Let's hope the next strike in three years doesn't result in the WGA bending over and getting taken like beoyonces again. The animation and reality show writers got scrod rawly.
-
Great JP reference
-
I haven't missed Tina Fey's awkward politcal jokes.
-
Seriously?
I haven't watched it in at least a decade.
It's not really still on. Is it? -
sudekis' wedding toast was gold. so was wiig's balloon piece. poehler's one-legged farter was pretty funny, but the sketch was too long. that new girl needs to realize that less is more - don't overdo it. update killed, but tina's hillary plea was a bit over-the-top. huckabee was funny as hell - great guy, but waaaaay too scary to be pres. hader's plainview bit was cute but half-baked. all-in-all, not a bad effort. let's hope ellen page will be great. i'm tuning in just to see nels cline and wilco!
-
Overall it wasn't that funny. But I did like the Milkshake bit.

P.S. I may be the only one who think Kristen Wiig is HOTTTTT!
by wiboomer1
-
That should have been all of five minutes.
-
Wiig is definitely kinda hot, they just don't ever dress her up to look pretty. Also, did I miss Will Forte or is he not in the cast anymore?
-
Best line of the night.
And the grandkids-in-the-movie bit was great, too.
And Hader's Plainview. Wow. Amazing.
But I can do a better Chigurh than Armisen. -
In the parts I saw, he was the guy getting married in the Sudeikis skit and Judge Ito in the Apprentice skit. Bill Hader is by far the best part of SNL now. His John Mark Karr was insanely funny. They brought back Amy Poehler's one legged farter? Must've missed it...I thought they retired that back in '03 or '04.
-
...all the people shouting praise for the "Daniel Plainview" sketch, are coming off like people just trying to brag that they've seen the movie.
Seriously, that was barely a sketch! He just kept saying that one line over and over again! How does anyone classify that as brilliant?
Although I will admit, the "I've abandoned my boy!...oh, there he is," line was pretty funny. -
She turns everything up to 11 so instead of it being sorta funny, it hurts my ears and makes me angry. She is NOT attractive and very rarely funny. Comedy doesn't make overacting necessary or even acceptable.
-
Check out funnyordie and David Spade's TWBB spoof. I never thought Spade had the funny, even his smug Hollywood Minutes, but that is some funny shit. That was one hellacious push-up bra Fey was wearing in the Rock Of Love sketch, and Wiig can just stand there and make me laugh. She sold the Hot Air Balloon commercial. I didn't see the opening credits, so the new girl took me by suprise...she's who? Since Maya Rudolph is shacked up with PT Anderson she can take the break and be a stay home mom. And Hader is the new Hammond and then some. Does a kick ass Al Pacino also. Frank Caliendo should stick with his John Madden and leave the rest to Hader, although his Charles Barkley is miles above Kenan's. That was turbil, jus turbil. End Of Rambling....
-
It's just the Paul cultists really drive me up a wall.
Sadly, I missed this episode of SNL. I haven't been rushing to watch it lately. Too many ads, too little funny.
And I think Kristen Wiig is hot, too.
Speaking of hot women, when was the last time SNL had a real Black woman on it? I'm not talking about "I can play any race" Maya Rudolph (she's of mixed heritage, and frequently plays white, Black, Latina, etc.) -- No, I'm talking about a Danitra Vance kind of woman. An Ellen Cleghorne sort of sister. An Yvonne Hudson kind of African American actress... Oh, wait. I just answered my own question! THOSE WERE THE ONLY THREE, EVER!
Maybe it's time SNL decided to have more than two Black people on their cast at a time.
While they're at it, I'm pretty sure I've met Latinos funnier than Horatio Sanz and I'd like them to give Latino comedians another shot, and I don't recall too many Asian American cast members on SNL, either.
But really, they have a Black girl deficiency. One of their biggest mistakes was not grabbing Debra Wilson before that hack-fest MAD TV got her (and daaaaamn is she sexy!) -
The steroid hearings were the perfect opportunity for a sketch and we get nothing. Who are they afraid of? Is Lorne Michaels friends with Clemens or something? What a disappointment.
-
Why would people brag about seeing a movie? Its not like it requires an entrance exam. Its been in the theaters for months for all to see. All one would have to do is plonk down 11 bucks to see it, and surely thats not a great feat.
-
...its out there for everyone to see, but loving and adoring TWBB seem to be the new shorthand for establishing your street cred in the Talk Backs.
(similar to previous fads such as: bashing "Little Miss Sunshine"; complaining during S2 and S3 of Lost that the show is too slow and boring and that the writers don't know what they're doing; treating Joss Whedon like he's the King of All That Is Hot Shit!; etc.)
That "Milkshake" skit was mildly amusing due to a pretty spot-on inpersonation from Hader. Beyond that, it was drawn-out and pointless. To hear someone actually say "it probably isn't funny to you if you haven't seen the movie" is kind of insulting. I've seen the movie, and still find the skit bland and uninspired. -
Especially in the opening sketch where she looked like Obama's speech made her orgasm. Heder's Daniel Plainview impression was great. I agree with Herc about the "I abandoned my boy!" line being the big laugh for me.

SNL will always be on the air, get over it.
-
I didn't even know it was on that's how bad and forgotten it is, STFU! Every SNL thread gets that guy that says, "SNL is still on?" Never fails. We get it the show is horrible, but it'll always be on the air, get over it!
-
was the best bit on the show. Loved it.

At Blade Runner.

CNN and the AP are saying that his having not recognized the cue to leave had not been an act. Is that true, or is that an example of a biased media who can't take a joke?
-
That was obviously part of the joke. Huckabee has proven himself to have quite a good sense of humor, and not leaving when it was time for him to go was a pretty good dig at his not getting out of the race. If any media outlets are reporting that as unintentional, they need to pull their heads out of their asses and pay attention to what they're reporting on instead of just inaccurately echoing what some blogger wrote about a joke on SNL...
"Huckabee didn't leave when his time was up? What a fool! Stop the presses!" -
The Oscar sketch was hi-larious. And I never saw any of the three films that were parodied.
-
And thats not an insult, its not saying that if you haven't seen TWBB you're too stupid to get the sketch. But the best gag of the sketch isnt just the dead-on impression, but seeing the milkshake bit taken not just line for line, but with the absolute same delivery, and put in a completely literal context ("that is a pretty long straw" and having him shout "I DRANK IT ALL UP" after he actually drinks the milkshake cracked me up). But if you haven't seen the movie than it just seems like a good impression in a silly scene (though thats exactly what the skit was when Chigr (sp?) came on,which is also when the sketch started sucking).
-
He won't be President, but will be remembered for some SNL sketch.

Actually, I just watched the milkshake sketch on Youtube...
by bobo_vision
...because I didn't watch SNL last night, and I must say, it wasn't really funny. Not to me anyhow. And I did see the movie. You should check out Brandon Hardesty's re-enactment of TWBB on YouTube (otherwise known as ArtieTSMITW). Now THAT's funny, and it's spot on.
-
Let me reiterate: I have seen the movie, and did not find the sketch funny.
Aside from the rather accurate impersonation, that sketch was about as funny as a dumbass walking around doing an Austin Powers impersonation for 5 minutes. It's as funny as a frat boy farting and all of his friends laughing while shouting, "Dude, you farted!" It was obvious and 1-dimensional and repetitive, and though I know that some people found it funny (and for the love of Pete, to each his own!) every time I hear someone say how funny they thought the sketch was, it comes off sounding like they're bragging that they saw the movie and that they 'got' it.
Interestingly, people say the sketch started sucking when the Chiguhr impersonation started. Armison was doing the same exact damn thing Hader was doing, but the impersonation wasn't as good! -
"He won't be President, but will be remembered for some SNL sketch"...just like Jesse Jackson! "I do not like them, Sam-I-Am!"
-
Plopping down characters to just repeat things from movies is Family Guy level humor. Ultimate laziness by the writers.
-
And apparently NBC backs Clinton, eh?
Barf. I watch SNL to laugh not have Tina Fey tell me who to vote for. Yeah we get it...you both have vaginas and you like that.
Well fuck off, and go write something funny.
Why waste my time saying "SNL IS BACK" when the writers obviously spent the strike eating twinkies and doing bongs?
Apparently they haven't watched any debates or news since that was best political jokes they could come up with.
Tina Fey sucks my sweaty asscrack. -
Let me reiterate, I wasnt saying everyone who saw the movie would find it funny. Just explaining why pointing out that its not really funny if you haven't seen the movie isnt insultive, because it doesn't take any special understanding of the movie, it is a fairly one-dimensional joke (like every SNL skit). Just that if you didnt see the movie, watching this guy go on about milkshakes doesn't really make any sense.
-
...sorry i'm a little touchy. I keep having people tell me I don't 'get' it, because they assume I haven't seen the movie. I don't 'get' it, because there isn't a joke of any substance there to 'get'!
-
Most people don't know what a milkshake in 1890-whatever actually is.
Therefore, Tina Fey sucks. -
Tell them that Huckabee was joking. Honestly, they're so dense...
-
He really has no idea when to pull out...ask his wife!
-
You could see that joke coming a mile away. Why would he have dialogue that deliberately set up that as a punchline.
Something along the line of "Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome. When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace." Cut to him not exiting with class or grace.
How could anyone think that wasn't a joke? -
You thought the show tanked after the Carlin monologue? I don't think it's ever regained the peak of the "I would like to feed your fingertips to the wolverines" sketch.
-
...how did he even manage to stick around this long?...
Hilary sucks... total moron, I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.
McCain sucks... too old
Obama sucks... every bit as much of a fraud as George W.
...there isn't a decent horse in this race... -

Herpes can be pretty fuckin' funny

AP's article on Huck's appearance is hilariously depressing
by darth_inedible
Spread across hundreds of websites Sunday morning: "Huckabee Lingers on Set of SNL".. I can only assume that to the 20something journalism grads at AP a foreign creature like Huck must be assumed to be a dangerously stupid wild animal incapable of self-depreciation.
-
Feb 25, 2008 4:33:58 PM CST
Ditto that. And here's another portion of the notorious article:
by jdl82
The former Arkansas governor -- who's still battling for the Republican presidential nomination despite long odds -- said on "Saturday Night Live" last night that he won't overstay his welcome.
Then he did precisely that. He lingered on the show's "Weekend Update" set despite repeated cues to leave the stage.
ht tp://ww w.wnbc.com/news/ 15394326/detail.ht ml
Can you believe they would be that dim-witted?
For more on the US's reactions to this obvious slur, go to ht tp://w ww.top ix.net/for um/source/wnbc/TL PE6CT75KORQS AMR#comments -
That's kind of a funny Freudian slip. Is Huck's self-deprecation self-depreciating? I thought his appearances on the Colbert Report were great, especially the air hockey game. But this far into primary season when he has no hope, it's becoming ridiculous and devolving into self-parody.
-
He's always awesome on interviews and talk shows, but when it comes to actual speeches he's dull as dirt.
-
VP Al Gore is another example of that unfortunate phenomenon.
-
And John Edwards.
-
They really need to find a new person to play Obama. Uusually, their impressions are totally on-the-mark. On that note, I wonder who they'll get to play McCain?
-
an angry old homeless man to play McCain.
-
Politics aside, who would do the best McCain? To me, Will Farrell's portrayal of Bush, Darrell Hammond's portrayls of both Clinton and Gore, and Dana Carvey's portrayal of Bush Sr. are top-notch.
