I'm not entirely sure why Sasheer Zamata is still on this show? Is she a writer?

"So it's an entree that ate it's own side dish?"

Emily Blunt

"Mmmmhmmmm. I pedal whimsy!" Bubbles flying all around.

"Four foods... and a nibble."

Those moments made me laugh right the fuck out loud. And then again the second time I watched it. Kate McKinnon is a national treasure. Ditto Emily Blunt.

I just watched the skit. That was a bad skit.

It is. But I appreciate the effort. I like what they were going for and would encourage them to stretch a bit more and take some chances in the future.

No, that skit is SNL regressing to the easy, broad, stupid, meaningless humor they've only just finally started to be able to move away from over these last few years.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. Though, I'll defer since I don't really watch SNL.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I used way too many words in that post. I don't even mean the adjectives. I used a lot of verbs. My sentence bums me out.

I don't hate on them for failed experiments like that one, even if it's not funny. Experimentation is never tired, and it always gives their cast an opportunity to try some new characters.

She's awful. She should be gone after that horrendous performance in the Burger King sketch.

So when I said that, I had no idea it was already a song by Beyonce. Compliment revoked, and I feel like a nitwit.

I tend to agree. Lemonade is leagues above anything she's done before. It's a truly great album
