SNL Season Finale??

Ugh, Bronx Beat. by JonQuixote	May 19th, 2007 07:58:33 PM
Give them a movie already so they can put it to rest.
tho not a great season.. by bob oblaw	May 19th, 2007 07:58:38 PM
i still love this show.
Third ... by BaronMori	May 19th, 2007 08:04:22 PM
Just joined, or I would have been first! In your face space coyote!
Oh great, all my favorites by theBigE	May 19th, 2007 08:17:02 PM
The recurring characters that are so hilarious. Thanks so much, SNL. I sure do love that Deep House Dish - so funny and original. I hope they make a movie of it. Joy.
Careful, it's a trick! by Napoleon Park	May 19th, 2007 08:38:52 PM
No one post any spoilers or there won't be another AICN SNL talk back until next Fall. ... uh, wait. Never mind.
tonight is zach braff, yeah? by BadMrWonka	May 19th, 2007 08:39:43 PM
it could be good. the promos are HORRIBLE however. tvfunhouse is the funniest thing on there, maybe tied with the digital shorts. maraka was hilarious, and the rainn wilson board meeting skit was brilliant. "krazy karl? HEEEAAAAA?"
while most of the recurring sketches aren't good by So-Crates	May 19th, 2007 08:39:54 PM
ESPECIALLY deep house dish and bronx beat, hader's italian interviewer is absolutely hysterical in my opinion. Nowhere near as good as The Chris Farley Show or the Will Ferrell/Harry Carey skit (but better than Brian Fellows, which I loved), but I do have a soft spot for the incompetent interviewer and the stammering guest, and the italian interviewer does it well. May not be the most popular opinion, but i think SNL has been good for three or for four decent laughs a show (with a few shows that miss entirely, but that happens every season). Samberg, Hader, Sudekis, Wiig are all coming into their own if you ask me. Which no one did.
blech, I hate moron 5 though by BadMrWonka	May 19th, 2007 08:40:50 PM
will be focusing on online poker with that on mute...
please cut deep house dish by waggy	May 19th, 2007 09:04:13 PM
it was never funny. i'm not one to whine about snl sketches, and i usually find something to laugh at in most of them, but i have never once even smiled at DHD
The Promos Are Always Awful by Birdys Piano Teacher	May 19th, 2007 09:10:20 PM
Just like the number one joke in Letterman's top ten. This should be a great show.
Deep House Dish by Birdys Piano Teacher	May 19th, 2007 09:11:33 PM
It's only good when the guest star does a song, but it's way past its "sell by" date as a sketch.
I just got off the phone with Chevy Chase by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 09:20:08 PM
He says there is no way he would ever comeback on this show and he now lives at a YMCA.
What's on deck? Not anything funny. by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 09:22:09 PM
Bronx beat makes me want to place my nuts in a vice.
Just give the show to Bill Hader by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 09:24:42 PM
His impersonations are the best part of this show. I'd rather watch him parade around at Pacino, Peter O'toole, or Frankenstien rather than watch anything with Kenan or any funhouse cartoon.
Zack Braff by Black Satin 2	May 19th, 2007 10:02:16 PM
No offense but if he is such a hot commodity, why are they still milking more seasons of Scrubs? It's a good show that has a great cast, besides Braff. Are they afraid of a Rob Morrow situation where the show would suck if he left and was replaced by, I don't know--Mark Paul Gooslear?
Scrubs is Braff's show by theBigE	May 19th, 2007 10:20:07 PM
The show wouldn't exist without his character. They did an episode a few weeks ago where he barely appeared, and it was ok, focusing on minor characters. But you couldn't do that week after week. His inner monolouge narrates the show! And I agree with the above posts, I love Hader's impressions, and his Italian interviewer!
Bill Hader by Zorak5	May 19th, 2007 10:38:17 PM
Glad to hear the Vinny Vedecci character might return. I thought that was a genuinely funny sketch.
Alright, lets talk about next season's cast... by Shermdawg	May 19th, 2007 10:39:11 PM
Who do we thinks leaving? Wasn't Kenan on the bubble? Wiig, Sudekis, and Samberg are pretty much locked. Hader never really got a strong push unforunately, so there might be a ossibility of him leaving. Hammond, even though he's their go to guy for impressions, is long overdue to leave. Really the only person I'm worried about is Forte. KEEP THE FORTE!!!
Ha! by CatVutt	May 19th, 2007 10:43:00 PM
The dog thing was pretty goddamn funny.
Holy crap... by Shermdawg	May 19th, 2007 10:44:01 PM
...someone used a John Anderson tune in a national commercial. Good call.
aw man... by zati1	May 19th, 2007 10:46:57 PM
perhaps it's the TV dinner I just ate...but damn if that didn't make me a little queasy!
Forte was channeling Scott Thompson... by Shermdawg	May 19th, 2007 10:48:14 PM
...in this BJ sketch.
Braff sure can read a teleprompter by CherryValance	May 19th, 2007 10:49:57 PM
It's a good thing he's not funny either. Why do people like this guy?
That Samburg trailer... by CatVutt	May 19th, 2007 10:54:33 PM
Really looked more like a sketch. I wish I could blame it on the vodka.
Wow, Samberg is taking off ain't he? by Shermdawg	May 19th, 2007 10:55:34 PM
Aw sweet DEEPHOUSE DISH!!!! ugh.
Braff is a hot commodity? by Merkin Muffley	May 19th, 2007 11:01:01 PM
I like the guy fine and all, but aside from Garden State, his films have stalled and Scrubs is not a huge ratings grabber. I'm interested to see what happens with Open Hearts, but I'm pretty sure Scrubs will end with a whimper rather than a bang.
ooh-wee by zati1	May 19th, 2007 11:04:46 PM
Keenan. Get some new ma-terrrial. The guests amuse me, his character does not.
If Deephouse Dish does return, and feep Thompson... by DanielKurland	May 19th, 2007 11:05:57 PM
afloat, it will be due to Samberg's character. Thompson is only good as the secondary character on The Dakota Fanning Show.
"whenever I put a condom in my mouth, i think of my dad by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:08:16 PM
I love this reminiscing sketch.
Ah, they can't redo the jukebox/memory sketch!... by DanielKurland	May 19th, 2007 11:08:18 PM
It was so good. This version better not drive it into mediocrity.
they could change the by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:08:47 PM
they could change the punchline...
lame-o by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:10:48 PM
lame punchline; they could have easily thought of something more surprising/ shocking than that.
maya rudolph = teh hot by bamboogrove	May 19th, 2007 11:11:18 PM
total MILF
Never mind... by DanielKurland	May 19th, 2007 11:11:53 PM
"The kids didn't mind, they were drunk too." made me laugh out loud. Glad they went with a different random ending, yet still used music from Pulp Fiction.
Maroon 5 really coasted on their first album for awhile by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:14:42 PM
that stuff got regular radio play for like 3 years. I hated them, then liked then, then felt exasperated. I don't know what I feel now.
Moron 5 indeed... by jimmy rabbitte	May 19th, 2007 11:16:48 PM
...band suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Hammond has got to be done by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 11:17:33 PM
Bringing back the Connery routine has to be his way of saying goodbye. That means Hader has to say.
Braff will come out of the closet in 5 years by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 11:19:27 PM
No doubt. That guy is as gay as gay gets. I know he had a relationship with Mandy Moore, but that had to be staged. Braff smokes the pole.
Also, Maya is not at all funny by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 11:21:44 PM
I don't think she has ever made me laugh.
Amy looks really cute tonight by 'Cholera's Ghost	May 19th, 2007 11:25:07 PM
word
Maya is Whitney Houston. I wonder if she'll sing. by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 11:27:18 PM
That would be weird if they had Maya sing.
Cholera's Ghost by White Goodman	May 19th, 2007 11:27:56 PM
I second your word.
Karate Gorilla by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:36:29 PM
That was fantastic
And he can do Peter Falk... by DanielKurland	May 19th, 2007 11:37:10 PM
I have a fever, and the only prescription is more Hader.
ughhhhhhhhhhh by George Newman	May 19th, 2007 11:43:50 PM
i hope that none of these regular sketches get repeated next season.
Episode went by pretty fast... by DanielKurland	May 20th, 2007 12:08:02 AM
and seemed to have a lot of recurring sketches. Not necessarily a bad episode though.
Being old I'm not up on modern music by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2007 12:15:47 AM
and this hip and hop stuff the kids are listening to these days, but wasn't House music a trend from the '80s, like around the time of the 3rd or 4th Samantha Fox album? You know, like rave music from before electronica and trance and bass'n'drum? I guess there's a joke there, basing a sketch on a music trend from two decades ago. I'm just not sure I "get" it. I thought acid house went the way of the mosh pit. When did it make a comeback?
What the Hell? by Epsilon	May 20th, 2007 12:43:27 AM
A Zach Braff hosting with no Moca Bear cameo. Or better yet, a Dr. Cox heckling from the audience. BTW, did anyone crack a smile during the Samburg trailer. Is this thing a comedy? Seriously, I'm honestly asking. I found no humor near it.
lame episode by Magic Rat	May 20th, 2007 01:01:46 AM
Hader and Wiig are the only things keeping me watching this show. Everything fell flat tonight, pretty much, except the Italian tv show sketch, but I think I'm just a Hader fan. No Penelope, so I'm bummed.
I love it when guitarists "rock out" to lame songs... by Flim Springfield	May 20th, 2007 02:16:15 AM
Cracks me up.
The weird thing about by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2007 05:02:23 AM
Burgandy Quintet or Magenta 4+1 was that they were awful but they seemed so sincere, like they really, really meant it. Like they actually can't hear themselves and really think what they're doing is good somehow. In other words, I sense no cynicism or real evil; they're bad, but they're actually trying their best. Like this is the kind of music they actually really like to listen to. Sad, isn't it?
On the other hand by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2007 05:03:58 AM
they are named after Bugs Bunny's mispronunciation of the word "Moron", so maybe they do suspect how stupid they are.
Does they all? by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2007 05:10:00 AM
"Is it just me or does all the musical guest on SNL suck?" asked Xiphos. I enjoyed both of Bjork's performances and liked the song "Earth Invaders". And the girl with the large soft breasts stuffed into an overly tight bra who did the chest dance in the background during Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" song made actually sitting through the tune and not hittig fast forward worthwhile. There may have been other musical highlights from this past season, but those are the only ones I can remember.
Maroon 5? That was Maroon 5? by Ingeld	May 20th, 2007 10:33:13 AM
I was half a sleep and thought it was Adam Sandler.
Sudekis a main stay? by Enter4None	May 20th, 2007 06:21:02 PM
Has his Bush impersonation ever made anyone laugh, it's so bad and shoe horned at the beginning that it's almost like you are watching at a audio test before the show starts. He only "shines" (notice how loosely this term is used here) when he has another cast member whom to leach some of the scarce funny on SNL, meaning when he is around Hader, Wigg or Armisen. Next season keep the three from the sentence above, and please lose Kenan, Sudekis, Poehler and Maya...
Assuming it's time for a turnover... by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2007 09:24:59 PM
who should host Weekend Update next year? Forte? Hader? Wiig? Parnell?
Meyers gives the entire show to Sudekis by jtp8000	May 21st, 2007 08:43:54 AM
And Sudekis sucks. So it's pretty obvious that Sudekis does the same to Meyers because he is in every sketch and because they are the two worst on the show. Turning the head writing over to Meyers was worse than when Jean Doumain ran the show
If the show ever gets cancelled by BitterMan23	May 21st, 2007 10:29:32 AM
I hope the finale's WU segment finally finishes that "New Study About Tree Frogs" story.
TV Funhouse by drewlicious	May 21st, 2007 05:14:05 PM
"I own slaves." "My real name is Hitler Von Jews Are Bad" "I invented AIDS" And on top of that a not too flattering rendering of Hilary Clinton. That was the most I laughed at the show in two years.
