What’s On Deck For The LeBeouf-Enhanced Almost-Last Episode Of SNL’s 33rd Season??

WILL SHIAH LEFOOF'S SIDEKICK IN TRANSFORMERS2 DEBUT TONIGHT? by Pennsy	May 10th, 2008 09:40:50 PM
Well?
On the positive side, it has MacGruber by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 09:45:46 PM
eh.
Who cares about SNL? by snowpuff	May 10th, 2008 09:51:14 PM
Not I. Not anyone I know. Not most of the readers of this site...
But dude, it has MacGruber! by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 09:53:50 PM
That's gotta count for something!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFF!!!!!!! by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 09:54:38 PM

I just can't figure out Herc's support of this show by snowpuff	May 10th, 2008 10:01:59 PM
I can't even figure out how SNL could be bribing Herc to write about this show. I think he writes about... because he likes it? Weird, even for Herc.
That last funny thing on SNL was by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:06:00 PM
Scheddy Balls. That was friggin brilliant. Then they blew it with the Scheddy Weiner.
Orcus guesses the W key doesn't work by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:06:59 PM
Schweddy
Is this true? by thebearovingian	May 10th, 2008 10:10:17 PM
LaBeouf hosts SNL tonight? TOTALLY not AWESOME!
Yes it's true by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:12:21 PM
And don't call Orcus Shirley
Nice move, Orcus by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:29:32 PM

Thanks, this tb is better written than SNL anyway by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:32:59 PM
It practically writes itself!
Lol Clinton Loser by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:33:09 PM

Nice Opening by tonagan	May 10th, 2008 10:35:42 PM
"I am a sore loser." "My supporters are racist."
They nailed the 'ole bitch-- by thegreatwhatzit	May 10th, 2008 10:37:02 PM
i.e. Hillary Clinton. Good show. I do hope, however, that Amy P's subsequent participation will be minimal.
CONNERY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:38:56 PM
Go Darold Ham, Go Darold Ham, Go Darold Ham Go!
God, it's the Amy P show by thegreatwhatzit	May 10th, 2008 10:43:25 PM
I thought she'd be hanging with Nancy Kulp incarnate (Tiny Fey, about as sexy as my Cousin Todd's ant farm). Viva Obama (and thanks, SNL, for nailing Hillary Clinton's [lack of] ethics and hypocrisy).
Match Game Parody? by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:43:37 PM
THis would of worked probably in '78 but it's funny now too!
Well MacGruber's done by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:44:14 PM
It's downhill from here
uhh! by supersize	May 10th, 2008 10:47:03 PM
amy p's movie didn't bomb
Are the people who ask is this show still on by Napoleon Park	May 10th, 2008 10:48:04 PM
still posting here?
"Who's the lucky girl?" by tonagan	May 10th, 2008 10:48:14 PM
"Scott."
How does that match game skit get approved? by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 10:49:43 PM
It isn't the least bit relevant. It's just so out of place. So random. Ok I'm 35 I get what they're making fun of, even though I don't find it funny, but what about 25 year olds and younger? It goes right over their heads.
Amy P's movie didn't bomb-- by thegreatwhatzit	May 10th, 2008 10:50:46 PM
It just fizzled after the first weekend. IRON MAN kicked it into the DVD dust bin. Funny, nobody remembers the title.
Hmmm... by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:51:17 PM
This inmate sketch reminds me of an old 90s MadTV sketch
Anyone with talent left SNL a while ago by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:52:35 PM
Oh well, onto Star Trek remastered
Hi my name is Keenan Thompson and I play the same character in e by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:55:33 PM

*every sketch I'm in by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 10:56:08 PM

Rockstar/Take 2 paid SNL to promote GTAIV by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 10:56:43 PM

More MacGruber? by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:56:45 PM
This is getting sad
No Keenan Thompson was pretty funny in this by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 10:57:25 PM
He always gives it 100%
The macgruber stuff is kinda funny by Norm Cascade	May 10th, 2008 10:58:33 PM
but man that 'scared straight' skit was like getting fisted by a fat man without any talent.
How Ironic the GTAIV ad come on haha by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 10:58:59 PM
Right after the skit that featured GTAIV, hmm. The 360 version was used too. Because 60% of GTAIV's bought were for the 360.
So, we're all like, waiting for Indiana Jones stuff, right? by Orcus	May 10th, 2008 10:59:45 PM

SOOZEE!!! by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 11:01:54 PM
Look familiar my dears????
Orionsangels by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 11:03:35 PM
He's high monday-friday and then tries to un-booze himself out on saturday
MMJ! by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 11:11:09 PM
I need to pre-order this album---
that band sucked by Jett	May 10th, 2008 11:17:48 PM
gez when was the last time SNL had a good musiocal guest, all they get is hacks latley
hahahahahahahaha GTA reference was hillarious by Jett	May 10th, 2008 11:21:27 PM
they do move like that, hahaha great spoof
why can't kenan thomson just fuck off and die? by Jett	May 10th, 2008 11:24:28 PM
i bet even his own mother can't stand him
Oh look it's Jean K Jean by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 11:24:29 PM
I mean Keenan Thompson as another useless character
Filler episode!!! by Razorback	May 10th, 2008 11:28:19 PM
Doctor Who sucks.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! by SUPERSONICBABY	May 10th, 2008 11:30:28 PM
HADER ITALIANO!!!
I haven't hung out with Keenan yet by Orionsangels	May 10th, 2008 11:34:31 PM

Puke! by tonagan	May 10th, 2008 11:37:25 PM
That was good.
Jett my morning jacket by ChetPussy	May 10th, 2008 11:38:09 PM
is one of the best bands out there right now. Musical guests are the only thing SNL really has going for it
lol...they did a match game parody? by bacci40	May 10th, 2008 11:45:28 PM
didnt howard make his bones with that....blank a doodle doo...
The "Match Game" skit could have been really good. by Flim Springfield	May 10th, 2008 11:53:30 PM
It was a funny premise, but they should have actually solved the murder. That would have been great.
I love Amy but that "funky" character was REALLY bad. by Flim Springfield	May 10th, 2008 11:59:03 PM
Holy crap that was terrible.
ah, if only SNL went into June by Loosejerk	May 11th, 2008 12:10:45 AM
New Weezer album.....8 out of 10 songs leaked already....GREAT STUFF! Listen to The Red Album to hear some GOOD falsetto! 6/3.
Keenan Thompson... by Negator76	May 11th, 2008 12:26:37 AM
... is fine. Actually, He's one of the few people who can mug for the camera and actually make it FUNNY. He really goes for it. Actually, almost all of the actors on SNL are top-notch. It's just the writing that fails them. The laughs I had tonight were almost entirely due to little touches added by the actors. As always, the writing in SNL is labored, labored filler. They always talk about how they cut so much stuff in rehearsal-- Am I the only one who thinks maybe they should keep all that stuff, so the sketches are half as long? Look at the KIDS IN THE HALL... The reason a lot of their stuff worked is they were (mostly) merciless with the length of their sketches... A premise lasted just as long as it stayed funny, or transformed itself into a second act. If it couldn't outgrow its own premise, it FUCKING ENDED. Not like SNL, in which the 'Scared Straight' guy is allowed to go through every goddamned movie from the eighties. 'Macgruber' stands out because it was the only sketch that relied mostly on writing and direction. And take note: It was delivered in concise, bite-sized bursts.
Xiphos by BadMrWonka	May 11th, 2008 12:35:41 AM
I'm on the west coast, and I just got back from work as well! never heard My Morning Jacket, though they're supposed to be decent...
All you The Beef haters can suck it... by expert_40	May 11th, 2008 01:03:12 AM
... because that was about the funniest SNL of the year. The Beef has the comedic timing of Chevy in his prime, of Big-era Tom Hanks. He really is good. I love the MacGruber sketch... "You just happened to have anal lubricant with you?" "I'm experimenting." "Who's the lucky lady? -perfectly-waited-for-beat-of- silence- "Scott." BOOM! M ACGRUBBER!!!
Italian Guy by AsGMan265	May 11th, 2008 01:36:11 AM
Did noone think Bill Hader killed as the italian guy? I know its a recurring character but thats the hardest i laughed the entire show..what does Indiana hate? Sssssssssss......
New York Funky Yes yes No by Napoleon Park	May 11th, 2008 01:37:45 AM
I check these talkbacks out and read a lot of people griping a bout this show i've watched for over three decades now. But that changing room guest host in drag sketch was the worst thing I've ever seen on this show. Yess no yess yes no. wtf?
So, did old man Ford do a cameo or not? by Bill Clay	May 11th, 2008 02:01:19 AM
I couldn't take it anymore by the time midnight rolled around.
"♪♫ McGruver, it's totally hetero ♪♫" by DarkCouncilus	May 11th, 2008 02:40:05 AM

When will this show die?!!! by Kirbymanly	May 11th, 2008 03:48:24 AM
It needs to simply end with a grace note or get rid of its producing staff (L.M.) in order to find a group of writers that can produce something funny. Fuck, Conan does it on a daily basis... how can thyey not come up with something funny within a week?! Or even after a three week break?! It's just sad.
Ugh by G-Dubs	May 11th, 2008 04:07:55 AM
MacGruber is yet another Forte recurring that has one facet - that was run into the ground in the first appearance. Why oh why does Lorne think he's funny? Why was the premise of every LeBoef appearance a qustioning of his sexuality? Even if they're trying to tell us something, can we get a little variety? Other than a 20 years too late Match Game parody? And another thing - is every Samberg Short either "Laser Cats" - a one-joke-wonder which was never funny - or a penis joke with a celebrity? Is this what passes for funny in Long Island? MMJ was great, however...
@DarkCouncilus: by newc0253	May 11th, 2008 05:11:55 AM
how the frak did you make those musical notes?
"It's the only box my face HASN'T been on." by tonagan	May 11th, 2008 06:19:42 AM
Made me miss the Jeopardy sketches.
NBC site hacked by Anakin Whoopass	May 11th, 2008 09:08:14 AM
Missed the show, tried to watch clips at nbc.com and you get peanut butter jelly time, rick roll, or god knows what else when you click a video link. I'm trying not to think about NBC being a division of G.E., a major U.S. defense contractor.
NBC/SNL site hacked? by DevilCat	May 11th, 2008 09:31:34 AM
I went over there to see the Hillary Clinton sketch and when you click on the clip (or any other clip as near as I can see), instead of the SNL clip you get a mashup of "Rick Roll" and "Peanut Better Jelly Time"
Funny how the site gets hacked after it blasts a Clinton by DevilCat	May 11th, 2008 09:35:06 AM
...alls I'm saying...
Didn't you just love... by mraig	May 11th, 2008 10:07:30 AM
the sketch that took place at Anthropologie (TM)? It was almost as funny as the Target (TM) sketch, or the Jamba Juice (TM) sketch, or the waiting in line at Universal Studios (TM) sketch. There's nothing funnier than a sketch whose fundamental purpose is to raise awareness of a national retailer, and the atmosphere and products offered there. Man, this show is so relevant!
Hader's Italiano sketch... by Big Dan	May 11th, 2008 11:33:15 AM
was the most I laughed all season. Don't understand why they don't use Hader more and Keenan less. The digital short was kind of off the wall funny as well I thought.
Lamest Digital Short ever.... by Cletus Van Damme	May 11th, 2008 12:03:27 PM
...I was hoping for a decent "Dear Sister" sequel. "...ain't gon' be no grease!"
"Follow the yellow line to Roman's warehouse" by BitterMan23	May 11th, 2008 12:30:07 PM
hahahahah
I agree, LeBeef has great timing by smackfu	May 11th, 2008 01:17:30 PM
I liked him ok in Disturbia, didn't like him in anything else, but he plays a damned good comedy straight man. You know a guy has talent when all the big laughs he scored weren't from lines, but from facial expressions and subtle reactions. I agree with the guy who compared him to Chevy Chase in that respect. And as dumb as it was, I have to admit I burst out laughing everything he mouthed 'magiiiiiic'.
Hillary Clinton monologue is back on line by thegreatwhatzit	May 11th, 2008 01:22:41 PM
http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Ni ght_Live/video/play.shtml?mea= 250052 Absolutely the best sketch in last night's venue; it's hilarious but undeniably rings true.
Wow, SNL finally stopped kissing Hillary's ass by Bobo_Vision	May 11th, 2008 01:36:06 PM
About freakin' time. This totally nailed it. Guess she won't be quoting this SNL sketch on the campaign trail, huh? I mean, besides the fact that she pretty much says all these things in her own way.
MacGruber! by BurgerKing	May 11th, 2008 02:21:28 PM
Was pretty fuckin funny
Smoking in Italy by NNNOOO!!!	May 11th, 2008 03:03:45 PM
Great gag at the end of the Videcci sketch. I especially liked that when they cut to the cue card guy smoking, he was holding the actual cues for the sketch. Multi meta.
The hacking of the Clinton cold open... by jimmy rabbitte	May 11th, 2008 03:44:04 PM
...I just have to laugh at lunatics who do stuff like that. They are completely irrational. Usually people who support the liberal side of the aisle are the ones waving the free speech flag. But, start saying things about Hillary Clinton and suddenly they don't like free speech so much. The hypocrisy is so thick you can carve it like the Thanksgiving bird. When you think about it; the message they send by hacking an SNL sketch is, "free speech is fine as long as I agree with what is being said." It's very Orwellian. Sure speech is free, it's just that some speech is more free than other speech. Lastly, having watched the monologue; it did feel like it was more editorial than humorous. However, the SNL writers and performers have every right to state their opinion; and it's not the first time they did a sketch that wasn't all that funny.
the saddest thing about republicans by smackfu	May 11th, 2008 05:23:09 PM
is that they resent the liberals for ultimately trying to help them. These people are trying to dig YOUR country out of the grave 8 years of republican presidency has put you in and your desire to feel like you're right is so overpowering you'll never see it. You people seriously need saving from yourselves, modern-age republican presidents are trainwrecks, they do the worst things to your country and to the world in general. Then a dem comes along (cough clinton) and makes your country the most successfull and debt-free it's been in ages and you still do nothing but spew venom and try to find your petty reasons to shit on them. Now , again a liberal is going to go into office, and gradually repair the damage, and even then you're Actually going to resent them even though they brought you prosperity and fixed up all the fuckups your candidate made.
ummmmmmmm... by jimmy rabbitte	May 11th, 2008 06:23:24 PM
First of all, SNL taking any kind of a dig at Hillary Clinton is not an example of Republicans dumping on a Democrat. NBC has become Barack Obama's televised campaign headquarters; and that political stance has now trickled down to SNL. It was a liberal show on a liberal network dumping on a liberal candidate. Second of all, taxes and gas prices were both on the steady increase all during Bill Clinton's time in office. Wages did not go up all that much, and health care costs went out of control. That was a system that was supposed have gotten fixed during the 90's by... oh that's right... Hillary Clinton. She couldn't do it then; and nothing she has said so far makes her sound as though she could do it now. ...And what's with Clinton saying her constituents won't vote for Obama because he's black? That's not at all P.C. especially for a candidate from a P.C. banner waving party. The interesting thing to see is whether the super delegates try to impose their own will on the nomination. Clinton cannot over take Obama in primary delegates. Obama has won the majority in a fair fight. The super delegates could sway it back to Clinton; but then they'd be going against the will of the people. That would be a disaster for the Democratic party. It really is time for Clinton to bow out of the race; and let Obama concentrate on a strategy to run against McCain.
Will Forte by SenatorJeffersonSmith	May 11th, 2008 07:35:32 PM
I've never been big on Forte in the past, but between MacGruber, his guest spot on How I Met Your Mother, and his episode of Conchords, he has grown on me. I still don't think much of his recurring characters other than MacGruber and The Falconer-and his version of Bush was by FAR the worst...but right now he and Bill Hader are the best things going at SNL...Samberg is only funny in digital shorts, and none of the women are funny anymore. Also, Seth Meyers has some of the worst delivered lines since Jimmy and Horatio.
smackfu by Sakurai	May 11th, 2008 07:38:50 PM
wrong talkback. get a life.
Will Forte... by Droogie Alex	May 11th, 2008 09:38:28 PM
I think, did the most interesting Buch, more like his inner voice, rather than the direct imatations that everyone else does. Samberg really needs to stop trying to sing, as he's really tone deaf.
Human Giant by SenatorJeffersonSmith	May 11th, 2008 10:56:08 PM
takes three guys to make, and is so much funnier than SNL its hard to fathom how the SNL writers don't just shoot themselves in the head.
Smackfu by Malik23	May 12th, 2008 07:00:13 AM
Can you tell me what, exactly, did Bill Clinton do to accomplish, as you say, ". . . . makes your country the most successfull and debt-free it's been in ages. . . "?? Please, tell me how he achieved this.
Missed the episode, but now I learned Vedicci was in... by DanielKurland	May 12th, 2008 08:43:06 AM
ALWAYS consistently hilarious. Just that brief shot of ALF in the opening theme is genius. Any one have a link to this week's sketch?
It's not saying much... by BizarroJerry	May 12th, 2008 12:37:26 PM
but this episode was one of the funnier ones in recent memory.
