and "It wasn't as good as it was back in year 'x', let's cancel it"?
-
We'll see if they have anything now, other than the Sarah Palin stuff and Digital Shorts to keep them going.
-
The Busted Tees ladies are back. Man, I missed my redheaded one.
-
Bad ratings without election humor and interest. More bad news for NBC. Herc's oblivious praise and misunderstanding of ratings trends. Maybe a new vehicle for Tina Fey, who is winning Emmys but not making any money or ratings for NBC.
-
Kristen Wiig will play some kind of crazy lady with a funny voice who has a weird nonsensical thing she keeps saying over and over again and everyone gets uncomfortable. I don't have any inside tips but this is just a feeling I have.
-
that despite the liberal slant, the folks at SNL were secretly pulling for a McCain/Palin win. 4-8 years of material that writes itself, or a humorless demagogue that you can't make fun of without being labeled a "racist"? It's not a hard choice.
-
No Palin sketch with the Turkey fiasco?
-
Why in fucks sake would you need a spoiler warning for that vague shit? I really hope that was sarcasm, or you need to get the cock out your ass.
-
Gonna be some very boring years of SNL.
-
Didn't you know that SNL gets good ratings? That makes repeating nonsensicle things over and over again funny.
-
they don't have the balls to make fun of B. obama or his family,even if he turns out to be pathetic,so the political wave they have been riding is crashed
-
SNL would be declared dead, unfunny, a pale shadow of its former self. And then... miraculously, it would rise from the grave, gain relevance and humor, and all would sing its praises. But just as quickly as it would rise, it would fall again. It was a cycle that would repeat itself every 4 years, and, by coincidence I am sure, just so happened to be aligned with the presidential election.
-
They trumpeted that over and over again in press material earlier this week.
-
about the auto industry tanking. One joke could be that their trucks are big enough to live in after you've lost your home.
-
I have no idea who 187D is and I can tell you it was sarcasm.Furthermore, he/she can keep the cock in his/her ass if he/she wants to.And finally, since you're flipping out over a pretty harmless Spoiler Alert joke, you may want to check your own ass for a cock.
-
two weeks into the post-election and not one Obama appearance sketch. They really have no clue what to do. By this time in 2000 and 2004 there were probably five or six Bush sketches.

No one laughed @ "we passed a requirement for 200 mpg"
by thebearovingian
That was funny. The audience tonight is weak. And then she said condescendingly, "We've done our part." That was funny, too. B/C these self-righteous morons in Congress love to have their little "hearings" and castigate all the peons who come before them. Yes, look at all the brilliant public servants and their brilliant ideas. They pass ridiculous laws with currently unattainable requirements that help to bankrupt industries. Oh, they are wise!

I'm not sure black friday is an acceptable term my friend. GObama!

This is like a bad high school production tonight.

I'm having horrible flashbacks!
-
This is pretty entertaining. The Invisalign skit was pretty good too because, unlike most SNL skits, there was more than just one joke in the skit.

It's amazing how quickly Sarah Palin jokes seem dated.

I recently heard a reference to the phrase on MSNBC.
-
Rap Songs..... NO!
-
The political humor is over. SNL never chastises nor spoofs the Democrats (note the opening sketch, everyone in Congress is now dignified and non-corrupted). I'm an Independent, I prefer both sides of the aisle to be roasted. But now, as a result of Obama's triumph, SNL has run out of ammunition (more Palin jokes for God's sake?). SNL is lame but now it's going to cruise on boring,
-
The only good thing was Fey's Palin and that's over.
-
The balloon who was polled as "the most annoying presence in America"??? NBC awards her with her own show????? No wonder the network is shit. They tried to shove Tine Fey up the public's ass (and failed) and now it's Rosie O'Donnell? Jesus, just do a spin-off sitcom of SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS and call it a day.
-
This is considered music?
-
...giving a chirpy interview while some hick over her shoulder shoved turkeys into a blender. You can't write Thanksgiving skits that good.
-
Except for this last skit, which is very bad.
-
Other than Hader and Hammond, this show seems a faint shadow of it's former self.
-
Same ol' shit that is.
-
Funniest line: "You're lucky I left my scabbard in my hot air balloon." I'm going to be using that one a lot.inadvertently funniest line: the commercial urging viewers to check out SNL's hilarious political humor at their new political SNL web site. Seriously? The episode had parodies of Bill Clinton and Zell Miller featuring the guys who used to do parodies of Bill Clinton and Zell Miller back when people remembered who they were and why they mattered.Even less topical than parodying Bill Clinton and Zell Miller: a Vanilla Ice spoof. Way to stay relevant, SNL.Saddest moment: the audience applauded the announcement that Weekend Update featured Amy Poehler and Seth Myers, then died down immediately when they realized Amy wasn't there - and Seth clearly noticed it.
-
the krsiten wig clear rite one and the andy samberg rapper one (and even that one went on about a minute too long)but over all it was a bad episode, too bad justin timberlake had to cancel, he at least would have done a digital short ot the barry gibb talk showtug hawkins or whatever the fuck the hosts name was was terrible, and you could so tell he was scared of t-pain. I really hope the show picks itself up, after the break hire a black comedian and do some barrack sketches, even if you paint himn as a god, make fun of the people around him, or do another sketch with yokels who still think he's a terrorist and is gonna ruin america
-
The Bond sketch and the Dateline were the funniest things all night. I am so tire of Kristen Wig--the the invisiline braces sketch only got funny at the end. Watching her stop every five seconds was tedious and unfunny.
-
They've been incredibly MERCILESS towards Obama the entire time. Even to the point of lying about him. And why do they recently keep on attacking leftists ? You'd think that the ' J-O-B-S ' slip of toungue quote was worse than not knowing what Africa is. You'd think Hillary was running as a Republican. It even looked like Tina Fey was going renegade back there with the Sarah Palin thing ( while Weekend Update was kinda grovelling under the real dumbass' feet ). The deals with that, huh ?
-
I hadn't seen a whole SNL in ages, thought they had some good skits tonight. Esp the andy samberg one w/ Ludicrous, I missed half the songs I was LOLing so much. Ones, Fives, and even Twos!
-
I've noticed on several occasions, most notably tonights and the Josh Brolin episode, that the final sketch is utterly stupid and unfunny, so much so that it's painful and awkward to watch, like it was written by a child.
-
not that I would've watched SNL if I'd been home, but did I read that right? The host was TIM McGRAW???? What the hell?
-
is what they'll do.
Jack Handy could have a field day with the vague and meaningless Obama platitudes, the buffoon and walking gaffe machine Biden is just begging for cheesy hair plug commercial spoofs, man, the new administration is rife with material.
But they'll be too chickenshit to take it on, of course. -
It's great to see somebody impersonate Ariana Huffington, but despite one good line about lunch with Madeline Albright and the kid from "Gossip Girl," the sketch was solely designed to get SNL on the front page of the Huffington Post. It's ball-less and unfunny.
-
Check out the new gal's SNL audition piece as Huffington....definitely more balls/NSFW http://tinyurl.com/6p9rjt
-
But his rabid gaffes were never spoofed on SNL (exempting a brief black-out gag). It was all Palin. Apparently, mocking Obama is taboo; the writers and Mr. Michaels aren't aware that condescension is just as corrupt as racism. I hope that Mr. Obama will make a great president (I'm very optimistic though hiring Hillary was a betrayal to voters who preferred that old p.r. whore to exile herself to the sticks). On the other hand, I have no hope for SNL; the political humor is over.
-
They did hit on Obama through the primaries and through the last debates. There have been at least three sketches with Biden, even a whole sketch about Biden and Murtha displaying "rabid gaffes" just before the election. The sketches just weren't as funny as Tina Fey, Darrell Hammond and Will Ferrell, and the impressions not as memorable. To say there wasn't equal time is just squeezing sour grapes into a rancid whine.
-
Miserable. Awful. Can't find enough words to cover my dissatisfaction. BTW Purposely NOT featuring Obama in ANY way, shape or form is a terrible way to run a show. Don't worry Seth Myers and the rest, no one will think you are racists. Just a bad bunch of writers.
-
BHO is just not funny, he is so controlled and boring. How do you make fun of that in an entertaining way?
-
comedy gold.
-
What I want to know is what everyone thought of the one Paul Rudd hosted? I really liked that one.
-
It's not necessarily impossible...... this guy actually seems to show how you can do a fairly funny take on Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0D1w2mjqzk
-
John Belushi anyone???
-
I voted for Obama was the media condescension was humiliating. Even the "Times" (!) and "Washington Post" (!!) actually admitted that all of the fawning is "bad journalism". SNL consistently spoofed Reagan when he was an extremely popular president. But Obama is spoof-proof? They didn't even assault Jesse Jackson when that p.r. parasite tried to imperil Obama's rapport with the Jewish community (I have no doubt that Jackson was hoping that McCain would triumph; Jackson's celebrity has eroded with his fiscal and family corruption. Apparently, he's pissed that Obama is drawing positive press). But SNL will be bereft of political humor for at least four years. Seth Myers may as well hang-up the news and moderate a hamster race. As for Biden (blindingly idiotic), his SNL chastisement was only a "blip" compared to the recurrent Palin skits (which was recycled only last weekend!). What the hell--the show sucks, anyway.
-
I voted for Obama BUT the media condescension was humiliating.

Did they suddenly realize they were short and said "we have a bar set, you're a bartender, you're an irate customer, you're a pleasant customer. Go"? If not, what got cut? Imagine, if this is what makes it into the show, how awful was the stuff that got cut after dress, or the stuff that never even made it that far? Good gravy!
-
...embarrassing themselves with all of this Obama-humping. SNL can be funny...but the two highest rated shows this season (and perhaps, EVER) included McCain and Palin. Harry can shoot his Obama-jizz anytime he wants (it is, after all, his website), but it got very old...very fast. I couldn't stand the forums during the election -- because the hords of Obama-clones marched on behalf of their unqualified, inexperienced "messiah" (cough cough) as they spewed their hatred at the half of the country that did NOT vote for the liberal pussy in fine clothing. I am hoping that SNL can return to its roots, but I won't hold my breath. It seems like liberal wusses like Harry Knowles lose all sense of reality when they think they're right. If Harry Knowles had his way, we would all be watching HD-DVD right now (unless Blu-Ray were to have given him a free player and lots of free DVDs).
-
...at the feet of their inexperienced, unqualified "messiah" named Obama. They will poke fun at Hillary...and anyone who stands in Obama's way. I hope Obama doesn't make a mess of this nation (worse than it sort of is in), but I fear that Obama will second guess all of those promises that he made. David Axelrod is already saying that they will NOT fulfill their tax promises (at least for two years...out of fear for what it could do to this nation). Yep, Obama will be considered a LIAR to anyone outside of the media. SNL will continue to bow at his feet, as will uneducated "has-been" movie reviewers like Harry Knowles. Rumor has it that Harry Knowles used to give original thoughts about movies...ten years ago (before he gained 500 lbs -- in his head). Just joking with you, Harry. You're not a fat head at all. ...just extremely out-of-touch with what you began 10 years ago.
-
Oh wait they won't make fun of Obama! Wow our country is fuckd!
-
Lorne and his crew need to step it up and get funnier comics/material.
