Saturday Night Live

[tree_]

trag, could you point me in the direction of a good recent sketch? I haven't seen one in a long time... there may be good ones, I just haven't been watching

[doug rr]

the child molesting robot was funny a few years ago

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Malloy]

[dad]

here you go tree, there's some PTA-adjacent humor here:

i love that so much.

[tree_]

that was pretty good, but i give the credit to adam driver.. is pete davidson even trying? ever?

[doug rr]

you try sitting there in front of that

[dad]

exactly. i'd break.

yeah that was fantastic. Also Adam Driver as the oil barron.

Anything written by Julio Torres.

how do you even know who writes what sketch?

i think he's great though. i did enjoy his HBO(?) special.

[Chris_H_2]

the sketches are way too conservative and risk-averse, and in the process way too predictable. and most of the times they are interminable. that's bad writing.

also, weekend update has morphed into something that makes what it was even 15 years barely recognizable. it's about 15% jokes, and 85% "guests." it's pretty obvious that they simply cannot come up with the material that good writing would have no problem conjuring up. again, bad writing.

Beck Bennett out

Welp. That’s super unfortunate. Nobody else really makes me laugh regularly

[epilogue]

The I'm A Weed Gummy short made me laugh harder than anything I can remember on that show from there last four years. That was inspired.
