Where the fuck is the creativity? Marketing sucks in Hollywood now.

Pretty sure that John Quincy Adams was the sixth U.S. President. John Adams would have been the second. Also, I'm Canadian.
-
Hmmmm.
-
...their Gov. Christie "endorsed" Romney just a few days before it happened in real life. The Zoolander cameo was pretty good, too. And the Fox and Friends corrections were great. Wiig's new character on Update was pretty lame. The rest of the show was just kind of there.
-
'Cause i'm in Canada..there must be metacafe or youtube versions of the clips you could link to..
-
His ep wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the fat lady's the week prior. The quality of the show generally declines the more consecutive weeks that it's on live. Needless to say, my expectations are pretty low for the Anna Faris show - the 4th straight new ep. She's not exactly the type of host who could save weak material. But I'll DVR and watch it Sunday morn as usual...
-
It's live TV, not movies. Things like old people aren't made to look as good.
-
Whatever she had done, it didn't turn out well. I wish I could understand the thought process...what part of her face would she have been unhappy with? And is she happy with the way she looks now?

I think Ben has just lost too much weight. His cheeks are sunken in and he looks gaunt.
by Cureguy
But the ep was indeed very funny. Way funnier than the Bridesmaids lady. TWO SOIDS!!!
-
I know "What's Up With That" is repetitive but it's funny where this is not.
-
rap's terrible music to begin with but this new fad where everyone sounds like lil wayne is just terrible.

I bet all the Canadians are noticing how Canadian this Talkback is
by ndally
Also I'm Canadian. So is Drake and Lorne Michaels yet I hate rap and SNL sucks balls tonight. What happened to Weekend Update? At least that use to be counted on as being the saving grace of the show. Seth Meyers just doesn't have the tone of voice for Weekend Update, plus the writing sucks. Did I mention I'm Canadian? Ontario represent.
-
But only because I work with two stupid fuckers that are even more ridiculous than even the characters in this sketch.
-
That is, extremely overused despite other actresses being available. And Wiig was the new Poehler.
-
Dude is 46 years old. Realistically, he should be playing a grandfather soon, not a young dad, ala the "Focker" movies
-
Your episode sucked. This season has gotten worse with every episode, which makes me sad. I really thought last season was exceptionally strong, and had high hopes for this one, but Wiig might be leaving at a good time. Just sayin'.

Faris was, sadly, the victim of some very bad makeup in the opener.
by cookepuss
She looked adorable the rest of the episode though, especially as a brunette and Sailor Moon. You gotta keep in mind that women are 90% makeup. Makeup. Fake eyelashes. Push up bras. Spanx. High Heels. Women are just one big running lie and we love `em that way. Sad, but true. Y'all would still bang Anna Faris if she said yes so don't lie. Frankly, I thought that she looked frickin' cute. Haters. All of you. Not the best episode of the season, but nothing this season has really sunk down to the lowest of the low from the past seasons. Flash back to the January Jones' ep or the one with Ashley Simpson. SNL has done a lot worse. There was still some decently funny stuff here. Just not all 100% gold. Plus, ass-tastic Nicki Minaj is always good to see in motion. There's a plus side to every so-so episode.

SNL's future don't look too bright if Bayer is the next Wiig.
by Shermdawg
She's fucking terrible, hopefully either Nasim or Abby will fill that void. She's always reading the cards....and tonight, poorly flubbing up the flow of the filler GOP debate sketch, and she can't keep her mouth shut....does she really gotta grin that much? I mean really. Also terrible? This episode. God DAMN Drake is one talentless mother fucker, that second performance was possibly the most pathetic musical segments I've ever seen on SNL this side of Ashley Simpson. And the J Pop sketch!? I hope that won't be recurring. I gotta say though, I thought the "Tell Him" sketch was cute, but not funny as it could've been, and Wiig looked pretty smokin' in the latin talk show sketch, but tonight was a really weak installment. Also, another mistake from the writers....weren't Shop 'Til You Drop & Wink Martindale's Debt the first Original Lifetime game shows?
-
...But when the ET syndicated broadcast showed Logan Lerman in some set footage from THE THREE MUSKETEERS, I immediately shouted, "I WANT SWEETS!"
-
WHO says that in everyday conversation?
-
Overall the Farris ep (which is just a lot easier to type then "episode" - it's called shorthand for a reason) was pretty mediocre. I didn't laugh once at the NY Mayor opening, the monologue was lousy (Farris looked AWFUL, as others have noted), the Lifetime game show was OK ("you stand over there and pretend to rake leaves" - ha!), the Manual Ortiz show REALLY needs to be euthanized - unlike "What Up With That" it was NEVER funny, the GOP debate was pretty good (Sudeikis's Romney is really growing on me), the Digital Short was mildly amusing (my favorite was the Close-Up), update was about a C-, the Tell Him sketch was alright, the J-Pop thing made me laugh a lot, as did the Cecil meets the parents weirdness (Sudeikis's Dad was his best work of the night, followed closely by his teacher bit on the Japanese show). I'll bet we see Cecil again. But why no Price show?!? Hader was in nearly every sketch anyway (not complaining). Glad they're taking a break - they need some time to come up with funnier material...
-
easily the funniest skit in the episode
-
flipped back just in time to catch them all dancing off at the end Felt like I didn't miss a thing.
-
highly enjoyed
-
but Liberache (sp?) not required for every episode.
-
But last nights episode was terrible. Hopefully we'll soon stop hearing from the small group of people who insist Anna Faris is some great comedic talent who just hasn't found the right vehicle.
-
Yes, I was VERY impressed with that outfit too! Nice...

Ontario represent... it's hilarious when Canadians try to pose street!

Or at least the 49% who can actually be arsed to make the effort.
-
Pretty much always terrible. Could not believe she was invited back this season given how many funny women there are these days in Second City, UCB, groundlings, baby wants candy, etc.
-
They just need to keep her out of political sketches, and she needs to be less reliant on the cue cards. But at least give her this, her Miley Cyrus is pretty hilarious.
-
just because you don't understand it. Go back to your Duran Duran or Poison or whatever the fuck you think is music. Drake is as talented a rapper as they come. He's got brilliant flow, and unlike his mentor Lil Wayne he's actually got a smart head on his body. He just needs to stop pretending that he can sing.
