I'm sick of this political bullshit. by iamnicksaicnsn	Mar 8th, 2008 03:04:41 PM
The guy who's writing this Hillary Obama garbage is the same asshole who portrayed Gore as comparably idiotic to Bush. I can't even believe the cast is just taking it. Right up the ass.
iamnicksaicnsm by Stevie Grant	Mar 8th, 2008 03:10:21 PM
I don't know about that. Yeah, I've never found the Hildog/Obama sketches to be very funny, but SNL has made some of my favorite jokes about Bush.
Maybe this week they will do "celebrity trapped in an elevator". by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 8th, 2008 03:12:41 PM
You know the one: where the host is trapped in a slow moving elevator, playing themselves, and SNL cast members have uncomfortable conversations with them. God I love those.
Well, she gets a good paycheck anyway by skywalkerfamily	Mar 8th, 2008 03:13:05 PM
Can't go wrong with that.
Lorne Michaels would have had Hitler on SNL... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 8th, 2008 03:14:19 PM
And I'm sure Hitler would have come across as a pretty funny dude, too. Is this a harsh, inappropriate comment? To be honest, I very tired and annoyed that politicians have been using SNL to further their agendas. What happened to using comic impersonators to skewer the politicians?
Let me guess? Another week of blatant Clinton Love? by Mr. Profit	Mar 8th, 2008 03:17:29 PM
Whatever. Its obvious they love Hillary. Might as well endorse her candidacy. And will the digital short be borderline racist again? On the other hand, Amy Adams seems like a nice down to earth girl. Too bad she will take part in this suckfest.
I heart Vampire Weekend by GregoryHarbin	Mar 8th, 2008 03:19:03 PM
I've had their CD for a few weeks now...SO AWESOME. Can't wait for them to get more exposure.
"What's on dick for Amy Adams?" by Zardoz	Mar 8th, 2008 03:22:09 PM
Oh, my bad. I read that wrong. Damn!
if amy gets naked, i will watch by bacci40	Mar 8th, 2008 03:29:13 PM
nuff said
I thought you said "Amy Acker" there for a minute... by tonagan	Mar 8th, 2008 03:29:21 PM
That would have been nice.
I finally saw "Grandma's Boy" too... by tonagan	Mar 8th, 2008 03:34:08 PM
Jonah Hill's a lucky bastard. And I've added the "I can't stop!" scene to my list of memorable quotes.
SNL helped Hillary win by zooch	Mar 8th, 2008 03:43:37 PM
After the media was called bias by SNL they started amplifing Clinton's attacks on Obama and suddenly got soft on Clinton. Also SNL is helping Hillary's image by having her appear on the show friendly and funny, while protraying Obama as this mono-syllabic stiff bore.
"unprecedented run"? by nogimmick	Mar 8th, 2008 03:46:35 PM
how in the blue hell is a 4 show run "unprecedented"???
What no talkback for_________? by Pouchstalker	Mar 8th, 2008 03:46:50 PM
Generic played out comment here.
Mabye this week.. by OBSD	Mar 8th, 2008 03:51:04 PM
They'll stop sucking Hillary's dick. I wonder, if Obama played the victim card would SNL have stepped up to try and save his candidacy? Probably not. So was the SNL bullshit a way for NBC to apologize for Shuster's "pimping out" remark on MSNBC? Probably.
I'm going to to shot tonight! by Coenbro	Mar 8th, 2008 04:09:29 PM
And I am excited.
The only problem I have with the CLinton circle jerk on SNL by IndustryKiller!	Mar 8th, 2008 04:10:55 PM
is that their only point seems to be, and I referencing Tina Feys Weekend Update rant, that she is a woman ergo she is good. I always took Fey for a pretty intelligent person, I didn't think she'd stoop to such base politics. more importantly it wasn't funny, it was just a comedian ranting on a television show. I actually don't mind when celebrities talk politics in interviews or what not, but using a comedy show for a blatant political rant that doesn't even attempt comedy is weak sauce.
This show hasn't been funny since 19__ by Pouchstalker	Mar 8th, 2008 04:18:45 PM
_______ sucks all the life out of the show. I also can't believe _____ is still on the show!
"Title Character"? by ErrantTwin	Mar 8th, 2008 04:30:48 PM
Herc... you say Amy Adams "played the title character... in 'The Office.' Really? Wouldn't that mean she played the office itself? How'd she get the whole cast in there? Isn't it a title role only if the character being portrayed is also the tile of the work--like 'Michael Clayton'?
Mr. Mcpoops, by Stevie Grant	Mar 8th, 2008 04:31:13 PM
Hader is awesome, but I'm also partial to Forte.
by aleeminator	Mar 8th, 2008 04:31:51 PM
I'm indifferent as long as they dont defile amy adams by having her gargle clitons unfuckable hag cum
Janet's superbowl titty by Pipple	Mar 8th, 2008 04:49:00 PM
Does she think we forgot? Uh oh everyone set your tivos for that night. ya never know.
To complete the Clinton circle, SNL must spoof itself. by Flim Springfield	Mar 8th, 2008 04:51:07 PM
Maybe have everyone celebrating Hillary's wins this week, and patting themselves on the back because they believe SNL's support is what did it.
dogphart3000 by Stevie Grant	Mar 8th, 2008 04:52:37 PM
I disagree with your statement, but agree with the sentiment. I only watch the clips posted on various websites. SNL has become extremely weak.
awww... fuck it, by Stevie Grant	Mar 8th, 2008 04:54:45 PM
I don't disagree with your statement. Unless someone has work or kids... what is someone doing watching SNL on a Saturday night?
Unprecedented 4 week run ... by oatmeal2348	Mar 8th, 2008 05:33:10 PM
Am I reading that correctly? Has SNL never put together four shows in a row in the past 30+ years? I'm actually surprised at that. That being said, I'll be time-shifting this with Mr. McPoops to skip the boring stuff. Er ... I should say I'll be time-shifting LIKE Mr. McPoops. (I just wanted to type Mr. McPoops three times.)
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson, by Napoleon Park	Mar 8th, 2008 05:34:27 PM
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Going to the candidate's debate. Laugh about it, shout about it When you've got to choose Every way you look at this YOU LOSE!
Hey, anybody want to be president? by Napoleon Park	Mar 8th, 2008 05:41:01 PM
We got us a country with seventy-seven trillion dollars of debt. Rest of the world hates us. We're in a war against a noun - as long as terrorism exists the war will never be over. Economy's in the shitter. So, anyone wanna step up and lead the free world? Hey, we don't want to do it. Let's run one of the ten least popular women in history or, um, a colored guy. Oh no you don't get off that easy, You do that and we'll run a guy who's as old as Raagan and as nutty as Admiral Stockdale. Hey listen if neither of you wants to take this seriously, I'll do it. SHUT UP, RALPHIE!
Both Hillary by welsh12uk	Mar 8th, 2008 05:43:23 PM
and Obama have bigger dicks than McBush. Now back to SNL...Chevy Chase is soooo funny
Both Hillary by welsh12uk	Mar 8th, 2008 05:43:37 PM
and Obama have bigger dicks than McBush. Now back to SNL...Chevy Chase is soooo funny
As long as it is better than last week... by br1947	Mar 8th, 2008 05:46:59 PM
that's all I ask.
Mr. Mcpoops... by ErrantTwin	Mar 8th, 2008 05:47:12 PM
Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected. Although, since we ARE talking about Amy Adams, maybe it would be better if I sat down.
Amy Adams IS "The Office" by Napoleon Park	Mar 8th, 2008 05:47:19 PM
That's what I thought, too, but Errant Twin beat me to it. Oh well, that is what it says. title character on The Office. Charlton Heston IS "The Towering Inferno."Amy Adams IS "Enchanted". Edward Furlong IS "John Water's Pecker". Actually, he is.
Advanced Notice: Reaper is back Thursday at 9 EDT by chrth	Mar 8th, 2008 05:51:38 PM
(sigh, against Lost) TAPE LOST, WATCH REAPER!
I love Amy Adams. by YackBacker	Mar 8th, 2008 05:53:10 PM
There, I said it. Now I feel better.
FUCK THOSE HILLARY LOVERS AT SNL! by LordEnigma	Mar 8th, 2008 06:39:55 PM
INDEED!
The joke should be they're supporting Hillary to help McCain. by Flim Springfield	Mar 8th, 2008 06:55:02 PM
Because everyone knows Obama would beat McCain, but Hillary? Maybe not.
I agree by chewyou812	Mar 8th, 2008 07:04:22 PM
This will be another Clinton love fest, probably focussing on the monster comment. Because that's what's really important. Hey Hilary, wanna guess what people call you on a daily basis?! I'll give you a hint, it ain't nearly as simple as monster.
LIVE FROM MY PENIS by skywalkerfamily	Mar 8th, 2008 07:22:39 PM
It's Amy Adams!
Obama would beat McCain? by Shivv	Mar 8th, 2008 07:29:43 PM
The media has given Obama the kid gloves treatment for months and he still can't put Hillary away. McCain would destroy him
Vampire Weekend is overrated. by Yeti	Mar 8th, 2008 07:50:18 PM
The shiny new toy that will be all but forgotten within two years.
who is Amy Adams? by Cotton McKnight	Mar 8th, 2008 08:12:52 PM
oh yeah her. She is one of those people you never attach a name with a face.
TIM CALHOUN ALREADY!! by Friendo	Mar 8th, 2008 08:25:29 PM
Also - I really really heart Kristen Whigg
Vampire Weekend overrated? Oh go fuck yourselves. by LordEnigma	Mar 8th, 2008 08:36:32 PM
They are a sound freakin band. They can only get better with age. While people like Tom Bodet are the dumbasses that keep the US from becoming a better country. He's not just a POLITICIAN. He's a man who wants to change this country. If you have a problem with that sort of change. You got fucking problems on an epic scale.
If you dont care about Amy Adams... by LordEnigma	Mar 8th, 2008 08:47:36 PM
you sir need to get a handle on your life! Who doesnt love a red hair and a gorgeous figure.
Doesn't Amy Adams look EXACTLY like Kristen Wiig?? by 3D-Man	Mar 8th, 2008 09:07:39 PM
Well ALMOST exactly.
I like Vampire Weekend but they are overrated by waggy	Mar 8th, 2008 09:12:56 PM
Every music critic in the country is tripping over themselves to shower praise on this band. You'd think they were Radiohead or something.
Apparently Amy Adams is single... by Zeke25:17	Mar 8th, 2008 09:23:45 PM
Wish I could get her to visit San Diego for a day...I was thinking of singing "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast as an attempt to woo her, but maybe I should try "Bella Note" instead...seriously, what's not to like? Cute, witty, sexy in that good-girl way...and the closest thing to a live- action "Ariel" that us Disney fanboys will ever see!
SNL is far to Pro-Hilliary it isn't funny. by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:32:41 PM

Not much of a good start by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:33:11 PM
Drawn out like a motherfucker
nope. not funny by Nairb The Movie	Mar 8th, 2008 10:33:23 PM
NOT FUNNY
Seriously Amy Poehler by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:34:59 PM
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
This political crap is getting SO tired. by thebearovingian	Mar 8th, 2008 10:35:04 PM
We can do better. And when I say "we", I mean "you", SNL. This sucks.
This opening is great... by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 10:35:13 PM
...although they're still grasping straws at the Obama material.
Hopin' for Milkshake tonight... won't get it though by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:35:46 PM

Previously on the Coaxial SNL talkback, Shermdawg said... by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 10:37:10 PM
Who the fuck is Amy Adams and Vampire Weekend???
They do look like each other. by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:37:35 PM

wow... by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:37:43 PM
That pic of Adams for the credits was breathtakingly gorgeous.
They look like each other, we get the point. by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 10:44:47 PM
Did they really need to have this sketch right after the monologue?
another sketch with how they look alike... really? by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:44:51 PM

Meh... by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:47:06 PM

Despite Amy Adams hotness by zool43	Mar 8th, 2008 10:47:18 PM
This twins sketch is only mildly funny. And the cold opening and monologue sucked ass. just sayin'
2 look alike sketches by maxwell's hammer	Mar 8th, 2008 10:47:28 PM
that may seem lame at first glance, but the ABC Family show is fucking funny.
Wiig WISHES she looked like Amy Adams. by Flim Springfield	Mar 8th, 2008 10:48:34 PM
I don't see much similarity.
Seriously, L. Michaels and SNL should just endorse a candidate by Jim Jam Bongs	Mar 8th, 2008 10:48:46 PM
They should just admit that they want Clinton. The Daily Show and Colbert Report pretty much admit whom they endorse. I have to respect Fox News for at least being blatant about whom they support. The problem with SNL and Lorne Michaels is that they pretend to be the Court Jester by not officially taking a side. But really, what happens is that they neutralize any anti-establishment viewpoint with that kind of stance. Not only did they help Clinton win Ohio and the Texas primaries (though Obama has won the most Texas delegates), they helped Bush win in 2000 and 2004. Notice how they didn't do much political material in 2006, and the Democrats took back Congress that year. Bottom line: Lorne Michaels, you should just come right out and endorse a candidate and quit this waffling. I'm calling you out, sir.
Holy shit, four straight weeks? by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 10:48:48 PM
That's a record ain't it?
Is the whole fucking show going to be like this? by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:48:48 PM
And anyone notice how the host plays the pretty one, while Wiig's playing that fat gross bitch? HA HA SHE FARTED GET IT?
I wrote a short story called Vampire Weekend by 'Cholera's Ghost	Mar 8th, 2008 10:48:53 PM

Is it just me or... by wackybantha	Mar 8th, 2008 10:49:20 PM
....is Amy Adams like the cutest, hottest thing on TV in quite some time? MY DEAR LORD!!!
Flim Springfield by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 10:49:26 PM
Wiig's hotter.
Those credit shots of Adams by 'Cholera's Ghost	Mar 8th, 2008 10:51:39 PM
Are indeed ultra hot.
How can you overrate a GOOD BAND? by LordEnigma	Mar 8th, 2008 10:51:49 PM
These guys are not the strokes or interpol. They have something about them that will keep them around for a while. If you heard the album. If you own the album. You can hear that they are only at the cusp of their ability to kick-ass.
Not so bad... mildly funny... by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:53:09 PM

Does that convince you they're not in HRC's pocket? by GregoryHarbin	Mar 8th, 2008 10:54:12 PM
Seriously, they've been doing anti-Hillary sketches for months now, but this was their most blatant. Will the media, the Clinton campaign, and YOU finally admit that SNL isn't pro-Hillary?
man Adams looks good brunette by sith_rising	Mar 8th, 2008 10:55:34 PM

Couple's Therapy Again? / Host & Musical Guest Review by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 10:56:21 PM
Stupid once, stupid again. Describing the host and musical guest in one word: Amy Adams - hot / Vampire Weekend - amazing
SNL should be nothing but digital shorts by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 10:58:03 PM

It only took SNL 1 week to run out of material! by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 10:58:20 PM
First week back from the writer's strike was stronger than usual. Last week, awful! Tonight's? I've seen funnier funerals. What the hell?
So far... Tivo by br1947	Mar 8th, 2008 10:58:52 PM

The Batshort by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 10:58:56 PM
Batman is THE man. Andy Samberg is THE shit. Every single sketch and digital short he's appeared in is just freakin' unbelievable.
Again, SNL stands for NOTHING politically. by Jim Jam Bongs	Mar 8th, 2008 10:59:03 PM
But back in their earlier years, they clearly did stand for something and a side. This so-called "neutral" posturing only aids the establishment -- it creates this sense among the public "haha, all politicians are the same -- screw them all, why vote?" That is very damaging. This week they rag on Clinton. Well, next week, it will be Obamam, and they will trot out the impression where they imply he's no different than Gore. Then in another week they will do a sketch where McCain is a feeble minded old man. Back and forth. Who do you think politically this benefits? It's always the establishment candidate. Seriously, fuck SNL, NBC and Lorne Michaels. Don't stand up for this shit anymore.
I hate to say it... by zool43	Mar 8th, 2008 10:59:12 PM
That was maybe the worst digital short .
Eh...skip it by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:59:31 PM
The Samberg sketch was pretty good but they totally overdid it with the punching.
Is this Women Night Live? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 8th, 2008 11:00:13 PM
Jeez.
digital short by necgray	Mar 8th, 2008 11:02:17 PM
He wasn't Batman. Clearly his hero name was Dead Horse.
The Bravo sketch by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 11:03:17 PM
THESE PEOPLE HAVE CATCH PHRASES, LET'S REPEAT 'EM. God every fucking sketch has been so horrendously one note it's frusterating.
reply to Xiphos by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:03:39 PM
Go to bed. For the love of God, go to bed! If for some reason you did Tivo it, I would advise recording over it immediately. 30 minutes in and I haven't laughed yet.

Was that a repainted Robin outfit from the batflicks? by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 11:04:14 PM

Who is Amy Poehler screwing at NBC? by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:05:00 PM
Is it in her contract that she has to appear in EVERY FRIGGIN' SKETCH?!
Wiig is cuter than Amy Adams by ShiftyEyedDog2	Mar 8th, 2008 11:05:36 PM
something about Amy. She's not unattractive. I'm just sayin' - Wiig's hotter.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Vampire Weekend? by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 11:05:39 PM

NOT mess by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 11:06:06 PM
Holy frick this is terrible. The only good part is that new chick from the LA Upright Citizens Brigade. Casey Santi or whatever her name is. Oh yeah, you'll probably see me up here like 50 times a week, I'm a die hard SNL fan.
Another week of Who? by jakeblues	Mar 8th, 2008 11:06:19 PM
Lorne, you're older than me.. book a host I've heard of.
So Vampire Weekend is a band stuck in the early '80s? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Mar 8th, 2008 11:06:31 PM
theyre not bad, just way too retro and not in a cool way
This band's pretty good. by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 11:07:14 PM
But the vox are kinda eh. Oh, and, uh, cute scarf on the keyboardist (?)
Almost Amy Adams sidebook at 12:05 am by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:07:18 PM
The only highlight of the show, as she introduced this week's band and it lasted all of half a second. Speaking of the band, does putting INDIE BUZZ BAND supposed to make me think this band is cool? Cuz' it ain't working.
Revenge of the Nerds! by Christopher3	Mar 8th, 2008 11:07:40 PM

It's the cool kids from the Hamptons! by Larry of Arabia	Mar 8th, 2008 11:07:55 PM
And I'll be darned if they don't kinda rock. This is one of the better musical guests they've had in a long time.
vampire weekend by catlettuce4	Mar 8th, 2008 11:08:20 PM
sounds off. they are usually a lot better live. and why do they always play a-punk? there are at least four better songs on the album, if not more.
what was that? by br1947	Mar 8th, 2008 11:08:31 PM
I thought that was part of a sketch at first. That's a real band?
The Ruins looks stupid by Thundercats73	Mar 8th, 2008 11:08:36 PM

Prof. you are right by Jim Jam Bongs	Mar 8th, 2008 11:08:50 PM
If there was a truly cutting edge, darin sketch comedy show (I wish it could have been MAD TV), then they would do an outright parody of SNL's political sketches and have Hitler parody himself in order to humanize himself to the public and win their votes. SNL is not making fun of the problems of this country -- SNL is helping to create the problems in this country.
This Should Be Saturday Night Digital Shorts by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 11:10:18 PM
I agree with Thundercats73. The best SNL sketches are the digital shorts.
Vampire Weekend? Well, they DO suck... by necgray	Mar 8th, 2008 11:10:19 PM
Okay, that was an easy joke. But really, who the hell is saying they're "amazing"? They are... what's the word I'm looking for? Boring? Yawn-inducing? Colorless? Ivy League Hipster Band Du Jour? Perfect opening act for a double-bill of Hootie & the Blowfish and Counting Crows?
Best laugh of the night by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 11:10:34 PM

HOLY SHIT!!! TIM CALHOUN!!! HOLY!!! SHIT!!! by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 11:11:56 PM

Get used to hearing about how great Vampire Weekend is... by jccalhoun	Mar 8th, 2008 11:12:29 PM
I've never heard of them until today but MTV was playing them between seemingly every commercial today so that means that the hype machine has decided they will be popular. So get used to them because they are going to be everywhere for the next month or two...
HOLY FUCK! This Tim Calhoun thing was NEVER funny by ShiftyEyedDog2	Mar 8th, 2008 11:12:31 PM
why do they keep doing thie Tim Calhoun shit on Weekend Update. It wasn't funny the first time, it ain't funny the 32nd.
YES tim calhoun by catlettuce4	Mar 8th, 2008 11:12:33 PM
only good recurring character on snl these days.
SNLDIGISHORTS Pt. 2 by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 11:13:43 PM
You know, after the season's over, they should just bring out a DVD of all the Digital Shorts. Lazy Sunday, Andy Popping Into Frame, I Ran, Dear Sister, Sloths, Dick In A Box, the whole collection.
Tim Calhoun has always been weak. by zool43	Mar 8th, 2008 11:14:38 PM

Thank you. by Shermdawg	Mar 8th, 2008 11:15:29 PM
Shermdawg is happy.

Cuz Tim Calhoun isn't funny. by zool43	Mar 8th, 2008 11:17:43 PM

haven't watched any actual sketches... but keep finding the channel just to catch glimpses of that girl-next-door perfection
re: Jackie Boy by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:24:41 PM
This week is FAR worse. It seems that anytime SNL gets someone I want to see on the show, they go and make it extra sucky!

I like Tim Calhoun Because... by Larry of Arabia	Mar 8th, 2008 11:26:58 PM
Ok, I have no good reason. I just find his awkward random shit funny. I'm not ashamed. He had me at his first appearance when he said, "I love the whales. But they have to go." and "When's there going to be a China person on the Supreme Court? I propose.. never."

Penelope by necgray	Mar 8th, 2008 11:28:40 PM
I don't watch SNL regularly. Is this Penelope a recurring character? She annoyed me at first, but that popping up from random places in the frame killed my shit...
clarification by necgray	Mar 8th, 2008 11:30:09 PM
killed my shit in the good, made me laugh kind of way.

Summary Of Every SNL Episode by SUPERSONICBABY	Mar 8th, 2008 11:36:26 PM
Sketches before music and Update: Great Sketches after music and Update: Crap What the hell is this Dr. Uncle Jimmy sketch for anyway?? The only SNL episode I've seen that was solid start to finish was Alec Baldwin / Christina Aguilera from the '06/'07 season.
tonight's episode is not only unfunny.. by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:37:43 PM
but depressingly bad. Holding out little hope of a laugh in the usually weak last third of the show.
premise vs actual sketch by necgray	Mar 8th, 2008 11:37:43 PM
I feel like some of these sketches are missing in execution but I like the premises. I like the idea of a barbecue outpatient clinic. The sketch was just kinda ehhh.
Drillbit Taylor looks like complete shit too by Jackie Boy	Mar 8th, 2008 11:38:30 PM
That fat kid looks like he'd play Jonah Hill in a flashback, so I guess that's all it takes to be cast nowadays.

re: premise vs. sketch by taking_up_space	Mar 8th, 2008 11:40:25 PM
That's what pisses me off about SNL. They have a lot of GREAT ideas, and SOME talented actors. Yet, week after week, mixed bag of semi-funny and awful shit. They need new writers! If this is the best of everything they worked on all week, it's a damned shame.

Dude, that fat kid DID play a young Jonah Hill in Superbad - in the "Dick Drawing Flashback" scene. And the girl that played the young Becca played the young Sarah Silverman on The Sarah Silverman Program.
amy by maxwell's hammer	Mar 8th, 2008 11:42:40 PM
I know its more fun to shit all over everything, and it is certainly arguable that some of the sketches are not the funniest things ever, but you have to admit, Amy Adams is a pretty good little comedian. She's good at this.
before music: great? by catlettuce4	Mar 8th, 2008 11:42:44 PM
try mediocre. and after music: well maybe the show should just end at that point.

Usually the premise IS the joke, which is SNL's problem. by Flim Springfield	Mar 8th, 2008 11:44:17 PM
Like Amy Poehler's immigrant sketch- her first line "I am citizen" was the punchline. Everything after that was padding. There's no follow-up joke.

you're theory is generally accurate, except when they have a sketch that is too bizarre to air before 12:00. every notable digital short falls into this category.

Boy I cannot wait until they trot out the Presidential candidates in the Fall to make fun of themselves, the entire political process, and to pander for votes. (Please: Obama and McCain, do NOT appear on SNL, okay? Hillary isn't going to get the nomination, so you know she'll appear on SNL to endorse McCain out of spite.)
Recap: by taking_up_space	Mar 9th, 2008 12:02:58 AM
2 laughs (at band), 2 glimpses of Amy Adams' breasts, Casey Wilson is cute and 'healthy', Keenan still sucks, Poehler needs to sit out a few sketches, overall: Worst episode ever!

But at this point, I think he and McCain should abstain from SNL. I think the two should meet, agree on this, and shake hands on it -- I'd have a lot of respect for both bros at that point. SNL has been exploiting politicians, and ruining the elections in the process. Daily Show, Colbert, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh are different: They take a side and rally their like-minded faithful to the polls. SNL simply creates apathy which only leaves things the way they are. Somebody else also stated this here, but I will say it again: Fuck SNL. Lorne Michaels is a douchebag.

1:21am REPORT by truthmaster	Mar 9th, 2008 12:21:00 AM
OPENING: Glad to see a different take on the Clinton-Obama thing. Amy's Hillary isn't ugly, fat, or screaming mean enough. Fred looks dead on as Barrack in the black & white photos. MONOLOGUE: Pleased they immediately acknowledged Adam's resemblance to Wiig. Nice little song; not sure if it's from a show or original, but they sounded good together. MIRROR IMAGE: Funny and cute. Breaking the fourth wall is always tv gold. Nice to see an "evil-twin" version of the old twin shows. Adam's is cute as a button and doesn't stare at the cards. "Wink!" "Fart!" MARRIAGE COUNSELOR: Not too bad. Nothing to really hate on. I kinda liked it. DIGITAL SHORT: The great thing about these is that you never know where they're gonna go. I thought the super-hero was the twist, but then the joke immediately turns to his getting his ass kicked...for a LONG time. We just laughed harder 'cause the punches wouldn't stop. THAT'S what would happen if somebody thought they could be a real-life Batman. BRAVO SKETCH: Adam's looks adorable dressed as anyone, but really cute as Heidi Klum. I don't know any of the shows they were referrencing, but it was semi-amusing in its own right, I suppose. VAMPIRE WEEKEND: Not familiar with them. They weren't bad, they just kinda went by too quickly. A lot of the problem with bands on SNL is the sound is set up by NBC techs and NOT the band's normal crew due to union rules. Most of the time the mix sounds tinny. WEEKEND UPDATE: This has been consistently good. The "guests" were pretty good, even Jean K. Jean. I always like Tim Calhoun. No "special" guests this week, unlike last week's guest-fest. PENELOPE: She's a good character, EXCEPT I can't understand why they started ending each of her appearances with her demostrating a new power, indicating she's NOT exaggerating!!! It ruins the joke for me every time. BBQ/OUT PATIENT SURGERY: Funny concept I've batted around a few time myself (ex. so and so's Pet shop & Sushi bar). I like Forte, but kinda fell a little flat. I actually think "Those aren't MY ribs are they?" probably inspired the whole idea. Funny line anyway. KEENAN'S INFOMERCIAL: Wasn't really watching. I feel sorry for him, especially when the audience is stone silent. I think his line at the end of the sketch, "This isn't going very well for me" was either an honest adlib or simply just ironic. THE DANCING CHICKS: Same dance to different songs. I get it. Some things seem better when you act them out drunk at bar. THE GOODBYES: Simple this week. No "I'd like to thank Mike Huckabee, Hillary Clinton, Steve Martin, and the guy from one of the Law & Order shows." Just a clean and simple "Had a great time. Thanks, musical guest." OVERALL: Worth my time, good and bad. The best part about watching SNL LIVE is checking the Talkbacks to see what everyone says during the commercial breaks. One more to go. Not bad at for my money. Definitely more laughs than last week. And hey, count my "cutes" will ya? Thanks.
DVR was invented for people like me by Orionsangels	Mar 9th, 2008 12:26:51 AM
Growing up in the early 80's. I used to record on my VCR all day. On a VHS Tape I called "The Fucked Up Tape." I called it that because it was usually a messed up VHS tape I would use. I went through a lot of fucked up tapes through the years. I wanted to record everything that was on. I mean I didn't wanna miss anything on TV. Well now we have Tivo/DVR. Apparently someone was thinking the way I do. DVR though has messed up how I watch TV. For Example I just watched tonights SNL. By fast fwding through it and stopping it when it looked like something interested me. As child growing up on video games and MTV's fast editing. I've developed rapid eye viewing. I can flip through channels super fast and see what everything is in miliseconds. This pisses some people off when they watch TV with me. Usually they'll say, how can you see that? tell me what was on the last ten channels you just passed. I then proceed to tell them and their minds get blown.

Truly horrendous. Bad. Of course, made in Canada. But WHAT is this horrible trend lately of cutting to the commercial in the MIDDLE of a chase scene. They build up whatever suspense there is, then BLAM, it's DQ or Taco Bell in your face. FIVE minutes later, they "conclude" the chase, and you don't give a shit. CGI is PAINFUL - "Ogre" looks like an even more cartoonish Shrek on steroids.

I know that when the advance screenings came in here there were many "meh" or "blah" reviews. But those trailers look pretty damn good, they've had time to re-edit and shuffle stuff around per audience screenings, and I LOVE Dog Soldiers and The Descent. So I dunno. I think I might end up seeing it despite the tepid AICN screening reviews. My only complaint about the trailers is that they've got the "This is OUR city!" line, which is very much a "This is SPARTA!" or "I am BEOWULF!" It even sounds a little like Gerard "thank god I won't be playing Snake Plissken" Butler.

What are you smoking? I guess some people enjoy endless, pointless punches to the face. Like I said above, he should've been wearing a Dead Horse costume. I don't get how you can hate on Pohler, who is one of the funnier performers on the show, and love the digital shorts. "Punch'd" is a great example. Funny for a few minutes, then eventually degenerating into retardation. If Pohler mugs, blame the shit she has to sell. She was gold on UCB and Arrested Development.

Tim Calhoun = Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey by Cheif Brody	Mar 9th, 2008 06:34:37 AM
Who said this... Calhoun or Deep Thinker Jack Handey? "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." If you guessed Calhoun...you'd be wrong...that was Handey circa 84...Exact same off the wall humor...now just personified uncomfortably by Will Forte. Go back and watch it again...It's just Jack Handey-isms repackaged. Vampires sucked. Keenan needs to move down the dial to MadTV pronto. Digital Short was ok...but I long for TV Fun House. The 2 opening Adams/Wiig twin sketches back-to-back was a really bad idea...should have been separated by a few skits. Where's the "fake" commercials they used to put after the monologe? Seems like they are wasting an easy opportunity for laughs with those...we need another "Oops I Crapped My Pants" stat. If the budget for the Digital Shorts is taking away from fake ads, I'd rather have the fake ads. Best joke has to be the "wet drug dealers" from Update...and ONLY make a Ghostbusters reference if you have Ackroyd, Ramis & Murray standing by off camera with unlicensed nuclear accelerators strapped to their backs to step in and save that pathetic song/joke.
SF Chronicle by jsm1978	Mar 9th, 2008 10:48:22 AM
I'd almost think someone here works at the San Fran paper after looking at it on Friday. There was an article where the main point of it seemed to be that no one watches SNL anymore. They were also ripping SNL for their unfunny take on Obama.
Cheif Brody by ShiftyEyedDog2	Mar 9th, 2008 11:05:25 AM
(first of all, is that supposed to be "Chief" or is it a proper name?) The only connection between Calhoun and Deep Thoughts is they were both spoken in soft, almost monotonous voices. And more importantly, Deep Thoughts lasted 5-10 seconds. The lame Calhoun segment always drags on for like 5 unbearable minutes.
The best cast they've had in YEARs + the WORST writers by AnimeJune	Mar 9th, 2008 11:23:51 AM
Man, I've been sticking to this show for five years, and I adore Wiig, Hader, Samberg, Forte (you forget MACGRUBER!), and Fred Armisen (two words: Iranian President). Amy Poehler can be and has been funny on many occasions, but they keep giving her all these decaffinated characters. But SERIOUSLY.
AnimeJune by waggy	Mar 9th, 2008 11:41:56 AM
I agree, this is probably the richest cast the show has had since the Clinton administration (I'd add Sudeikis to that list too). Everyone bitches "fire him, she sucks", but when these guys are given some decent material to work with, they kill.
Their own fault by Beldo84	Mar 9th, 2008 12:14:06 PM
The cast work as writers too. The other writers are mostly there to serve the cast and flesh out ideas for them. If someone is the star of a sketch, you can pretty much bet they wrote it or came up with the concept. The cast is just as much to blame for the writing as the credited writers.

The song Amy and Kristen did is from "Wicked", it's called "What is this Feeling?". Amy was doing a pretty good Kristen Chenoweth impression I thought but the show went downhill after that. Seems to me the sketches just go on way too long now. The sketch with Amy Poehler as a Russian bride was the funniest bit, but it was also shorter than most. Even the Tina Fey episode wasn't as good as it could have been for that very reason, they just let the things go on about 2 minute longer than necessary.
Clemens sketch awesome, musical guest fucking blew, Adams hot by TallBoy66	Mar 9th, 2008 01:35:12 PM
and the digital short felt ripped off from "Kick Ass" which has barely been out for a week. There's your show review, and it is the TRUTH.
oops they did it again. by DigitalBeachWar	Mar 9th, 2008 02:01:15 PM
nothing about this episode was funny. the digital short took too long to get anywhere and when it finally did, it wasn't all that good. sadly it was the best part of the show.
and why in the hell... by DigitalBeachWar	Mar 9th, 2008 02:04:28 PM
is Kenan Thompson still apart of the show?

DEAR JACK: I thought it the song might be from "Wicked", but haven't actually seen it, so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.
I agree, digital short ripped off Mark Millar by BrowncoatJedi	Mar 9th, 2008 02:22:14 PM
A week after Kick Ass comes out and the premise and jokes are stolen by Sandberg. Classy.
Looserk by truthmaster	Mar 9th, 2008 02:25:29 PM
DEAR LOOSERK: I've been telling everybody about your "Whogivesafuckmaster" comment. And we all agree...hilarious! I gotta hand it to you. Your repsonse was so cleverly constructed it's hard to find a comeback for it. Simple, sharp; brilliant. I must admit though the Kevin Smith referrence went over my head. Heck, none of my friends could figure it out either. But that's probably because your in a different lweague than us intellectually. Kudos to you. I hope your mom and dad encourage and nurture your creativity!! And hey! I'm glad you enjoyed my review. I worked very hard on it. I appreciate your support, little lady. :)
I doubt they ripped off Millar, nor did they need to. by Flim Springfield	Mar 9th, 2008 02:34:52 PM
The premise was pretty obvious, and the "joke" even more obvious.

Shifty...Calhoun = Handey by Cheif Brody	Mar 9th, 2008 04:00:45 PM
Yes...the Calhoun sketch always goes on a lil too long...but I think that's by design...the same way the "punching" in the Digital Short went on way too long. Forte is going for the "uncomfortable" laugh...and I sure Calhoun is there to get Poehler & Meyers to crack up...but all his jokes are right up Jack Handey's alley. I'd prefer Handey to Calhoun, but I see what they are "going for". And yes...it's suppose to be "Chief"...but there was already a "Chief Brody" taken...who, BTW, has NEVER posted anything on this site as far as I can tell.

How does SNL still get a TB? by TVguy4566	Mar 9th, 2008 06:22:10 PM
Shouldn't it reserved for mediocre to good shows? Not unwatchable dreak. I actually caught part of SNL for the first time in about five years last night. Wow! The show sucks now. Five years ago, they made sketches around one really funny joke and stretched it out for five minutes. Now they don't even have that one really funny joke.
Cause whatever Aint it Cool wants to slam by skywalkerfamily	Mar 9th, 2008 06:23:22 PM

SNL aka THE AMY POEHLER SHOW by thegreatwhatzit	Mar 9th, 2008 07:52:52 PM
Not unlike the sketches, she's getting pretty old. Tiny Fey, former resident scarecrow, writes the same, predictable poilitical rhetoric. As for the corrupt Clinton: Why did she win this week? Credit Rush Limbaugh for prompting Republicans to vote for the 'ole cow just to "prolong the agony" of the Democrats' election (c'mon, SNL was pitching John Kerry as the #1 presidential candidate and guess who he lost to?). Fey is where she belongs--on a sitcom that draws smaller Nielsen ratings than a test pattern (NBC has exhaustively tried to shove her up the public's collective ass but nobody is buying). SNL has turned from iconic to "I have nothing better to do tonight." You want funny? Try CHELSEA LATELY--and she's way too good for SNL. As for Clinton, she was embodied by the Sci-Fi Channel's latest douchebag-of-the-week, OGRE; all mouth, growling, clueless and inexperienced with civil affairs.
greatwhatzit, WHAT??? by necgray	Mar 9th, 2008 09:38:16 PM
You're going to shit on Fey and the Emmy-winning 30 Rock in the same post as praising Chelsea Lately???? You've gotta be a crack addict. That's the only explanation. Chelsea Handler can be funny, but she's no Fey. She doesn't belong in the same building as Fey.
Agree with you, necgray by thegreatwhatzit	Mar 10th, 2008 12:14:37 AM
Matter of fact, Fey doesn't belong on the same planet as Chelsea. Yeah, 30 ROCK won an Emmy; but I doubt anyone knows (or cares. Look at the ratings).
I really like 30 Rock... by BizarroJerry	Mar 10th, 2008 08:06:24 AM
And stop using ratings as evidence for poor quality. Look at The Wire! And Fey brought a lot of good stuff to SNL in the past. A lot of crappy stuff, too, I'll admit. It's when she goes all political that I can't stand her. Another mindless Hillary supporter who doesn't realize that her gender isn't why people won't vote for her. It's because they don't like her.
Amy Adams: Adorable... by Kid Z	Mar 10th, 2008 08:36:14 AM
...Vampire Weekend: Yet another "band" of emo faggots. The Sketches: Getting lame and unfunny again. SNL: As shitty as ever.
BizarroJerry re: whatzit by necgray	Mar 10th, 2008 09:00:42 AM
The dude's got a bad habit of pointing to ratings as a measure of quality. Whatzit, ratings and quality of a show do not equate. If that were the case, then American Idol would be the greatest TV show of all time. Chelsea Handler is a mediocre comedian who gets by largely on her looks. Which frankly appeal only to fans of big-titted idiot blondes. I'll take the brilliant comedian with the librarian look, thanks.
Kid Z by necgray	Mar 10th, 2008 09:03:36 AM
What's your address so I can send my homosexual black belt friend to your house to beat your homophobic ass? Language, people, language...
Loserjoke by truthmaster	Mar 10th, 2008 10:15:03 AM
Hahaha! Your comments are adoreable. Keep trying, sweetie, you'll get there someday. I like that we encourage each other, 'cause that's what friends do. The gerbil thing I didn't understand though. That must be some inside joke of yours. And isn't that the point here? Not everyone has the same sense of humor. Some people hate SNL; some don't. Some like some jokes that others just don't get, and vice versa. See, Loserjoke and I can disagree on SNL and rib each other, but at the end of the day, we're still friends. And that's what makes America great. And with her strong comedic instincts, Loserjoke could grow up to become one of the great female comedy writers on SNL, like Tina Fey. Hey, you never know!
Necgray... by Kid Z	Mar 10th, 2008 10:30:41 AM
...Sorry, I used that term in it's schoolyard taunt form meaning, "exceedingly lame person". Maybe "emo douchebags" would be more acceptable? Or will I hear a knock at the door, open it and find a giant douche wearing a gi?
kid z again by necgray	Mar 10th, 2008 01:48:13 PM
By an amazing coincidence, I happen to also know a giant douche blackbelt. But he's my brother, so please don't charge him with assault.
BizarroJerry by thegreatwhatzit	Mar 10th, 2008 03:04:48 PM
I'll concede that you're correct; ratings are not a barometer for quality. But when Mrs. Clinton (inevitably) loses the nomination, Fey and her ilk will accuse the entire nation of sexism. Wanna bet? Never mind that Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, egocentric bitch whose only experience has been dodging political scandal. She shouldn't be nominated for dog catcher. Fey acting as her surrogate p.r. managher is both unprofessional and truly pathetic. And, to whomever, Chelsea has big jugs but she has the talent to match.
Greatwhatzit by hst666	Mar 10th, 2008 04:15:56 PM
Seriously. Chelsea doesn't have a fraction of the talent Tina does and the only reason Chelsea has a show is because she is bangin' one of the E! execs.
good argument, whatzit by necgray	Mar 10th, 2008 06:22:15 PM
"That unqualified bitch cunt will accuse the nation of sexism. Chelsea Handler's got big tits." No, you're not at all sexist... Tool. So you hate SNL because you hate Hillary Clinton. That's an awesome and totally rational thought process.
necgray by thegreatwhatzit	Mar 10th, 2008 07:35:37 PM
Your ranting is a tad shrill (not that there's anything wrong with that). I'll just adhere to the habits of other contributors (i.e. ignore your posts).
hst666 by thegreatwhatzit	Mar 10th, 2008 07:42:07 PM
C'mon, Chelsea taking a hammock ride with the E! brass? I really don't want to believe it. I mean, she took it on the chin when Howie Mandell was a guest; he lambasted the show (addressing the audience with, "It appears you brought your own folding chairs," etc.). I like her dialogue with the Grade-C celebs but I'm less impressed with the pre-taped segments (and the Latin midget as a co-host is stale). But at least she's pioneering a different venue for blonde hottys (compare to Pam Anderson who leans on divorces and tired Playboy spreads for cheap press).

Time to go waaaaaay back by teedadawg	Mar 11th, 2008 07:49:32 AM
I thought Amy Adams' trouper attitude showed why the cast used to be called the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" - because they AREN'T!!! These are all B-movie level talents and while that's okay in small doses, they don't know how to mete out small doses any more. EVERY sketch goes on forever and the recurring characters come back TOO OFTEN! There were some laughs Saturday, but the writing is really hurting the show.
Truthbastard by Loosejerk	Mar 11th, 2008 10:09:18 PM
TM, you ignorant cunt. We are not friends. You retardingly refer to me as a female because you're too much of a pussy to match wits with a stud such as myself. I like SNL, but I don't need a clueless "recap" from the likes of you. "Adams is cute as a button and doesn't stare at the cards". HOLY CRAP! She is? She doesn't? Thanks....you've made my life better by pointing out the most obvious. You're like the Dr. Phil of anal cancer. Congrats!
Human Giant by INWOsuxRED	Mar 12th, 2008 10:45:44 AM
A half hour of Human Giant = still signficantly funnier than one and a half hours of SNL. The Will Arnett sketch on next week's episode kicks ass. MTV, Tuesday nights. Rob Ringle's segment at Berkley on TDS the other night also had more laughs than a full episode of SNL.
