Weekly SNL thread

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

She was aiight in Ramona and Beezus. 

 

I think people are being too hard on the Palin stuff.  When the two people in sketch bring satired are already the two biggest effing buffoon assholes in the world, what can you do?  I'm appreciative they put on a show at all whilst they deal with snowmagdden. I thought it started to run out of steam after Update, but so did I, so cut us both a break, okay?  Even though we look great and want to make you laugh for years to come,  we're both 41 years old and sometimes we need to take it easy!

Well done with Sarah's jacket!  I squealed with delight.   

[FindingNamo]

Me too.  It was perfect.

[SNAFU]

I was trying to post a video but it kept giving my Facebook info. Here however it a transcript that proves Sara Palin writes the sketches herself. A Satirist's wet dream.

Thought last night's episode was fantastic. The cast was firing on all cylinders. And that John Rudnitsky Weekend Update bit was bold and hilarious and impeccably performed. Bern Your Enthusiasm is an instant classic.

[Jordan Catalano]

That Weekend Update dance was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on that show. 

[SNAFU]

Update was quite funny this week! I LOLed a few times during it.

[Steve C.]

Just got around to DVR and SNL, what the what was that Kanye thing? At least Melissa McCarthy was funny in the **** cat skit with Kate McKinnon.

Oh, and seeing an oiled up Beck Bennett was very intriguing! Yowsa! 

[FindingNamo]

I liked the movie audience thing.  And the Hillary/Bush opening.

[Roscoe]

Vanessa Bayer's demolition of Jennifer Aniston was probably legally actionable.

[SNAFU]

Vanessa was in TOP FORM in that sketch!

 

[SmoothLover]

I thought it was one of the stronger episodes of the season. It was nice to have a host that was not glued to the cue cards.

[Kad]

I'm in love with Kate McKinnon singing "I Can't Make You Love Me." Someone put her in a musical!

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

I have seen Vanessa Bayer's "Rachel from the 1990s" a few times already and it only keeps getting better and better. A genius impersonation, how had she not done this before?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Sudekis!

[Jordan Catalano]

Man, I hope that "Racists For Trump" clip goes viral. Genius. 

[daisybeetle]

Loved the Sudeikis Music Man reference about Trump-- "He's a fraud! He's a scam! He's a what? He's a what? He's a flim-flam man!"

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

That was a horrible episode though. The Trump short was the only saving grace.

[madbrian]

The Trump campaign slogan should be, "You don't have to be a racist to support Trump, but it helps."

[SNAFU]

Not a fan of Jonas Hill. The Monologue was uncomfortable and the rest of the show, just not too funny.

 

[Borstalboy]

Remember when they invited him to host?

[Petralicious]

Jay Pharohs Black Meeting was amazing!  Not sure why he hardly gets any airtime

[SNAFU]

Jay Pharoh does incredible imitations. When in a sketch comedy bit when he is not doing an impersonation, his comedic timing is off. He is growing and getting better though.

 

[SmoothLover]

Hill always has this look in his eyes as if he is afraid people will find out that his talent is very limited. I always feel uncomfortable WITH him.

[SNAFU]

I have never been so uncomfortable watching the show as I was during his monologue.

 

[Petralicious]
